While I realize the deals on Black Friday can be quite extreme and money saving, I really don't understand how anyone would want to throw themselves in such a throng of people. I start feeling faint in shops with more than 1 customer per aisle...

Black Fridays changed a lot. Now deals start in the afternoon on thanksgiving.

Sadly not anymore because of a failing economy. You can get the same deals at select times around the year.

Hope you guys had a good Christmas and new year
I sure did

Oh, I love when I come across things like that!

I've found a necklace from Lorien, and earrings from Mirkwood.

I'm 11 weeks and I'm due around Sept. 27.

Probably not - but I did tell my mom that we were considering Arwen if it was a girl. Then I told her we also liked Jadzia Dax (from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) to which she said she liked Arwen better.

I thought it was funny, (nearly) ten years ago, when I joined here, I was quite a nerdy high schooler... Now I'm all married, and having a baby... Oh, listen to me getting all nostalgic.

Did you join that long ago? Then you're actually "older" than I am!

I know what you mean, Midge. I was also in high school, homeschooled, and Entmoot was the only place where I talked to people outside of my family (and even here I didn't post all that much, though I lurked constantly!)

College changed me SO MUCH I look back at my old posts, and barely recognize that person. But my love for Tolkien hasn't changed one bit!

Congrats on the baby!

I always liked the sound of Jadzia, although for a long time I didn't know how it was written. But considering I've seen the name since for at least one person who predates Deep Space Nine, I reckon the name is not invented there.

I'm happy, because I fixed my internet and am on my way in fixing my external hard drive which my TV accidentally reinitialised i.e. deleted.

Sort of. It took some time but I spent only half a day on getting everything to work as it should. Putting everything back on the external hard disk took about a day and a half, but all I had to do for that was select the stuff and hit 'copy to USB device'.

More happy news: I once again finished grading and putting all my grades and evaluations in the system well on time! No last minute stress for me again! Yay me *pats self on the back*
