Nope. Pass.



I have a few good years of mooching off of others in me yet.

I believe that.

Nice clip, Blaze.



But, of course, Bilbo is here referring to "the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns"--in a word, death. (Hamlet, 3:1)



Speaking for myself, I think I'll take a rain check on that particular boarding pass for the time being.  ac_biggrin

Not quite! They are sailing away to the undying lands, for Valinor, and cast away the weariness of the mortal world. Its somewhat a heaven, but not when you die. The realm of death is governed in the Halls of Mandos. Its true, once you leave Middle Earth, and make your way to Valinor, you are not permitted to leave, it is forbidden.



I would prolly pass too for now, too many possible adventures here lol. And that place sounds boring  ac_drinks

When will you know if your job is eliminated Blazor?

I'm sure there are no printing shops in Valinor.



But I'm not 100% sure.  :001_tongue:

I honestly feel like its either any time, or maybe by the end of the year. The owner is around 80, he wants to shut the place down. My boss is in his 50's, he wants to keep it going. Use to be 50 employees, now its 5. While I was in Seattle, my boss got his hand jammed in the press rollers, it broke a couple fingers and peeled his skin off like a glove. Hes mending though. Also the folder operator, hes in his 60s, diabetic, wound up having a seizure in his eye that week too, blind in that eye. Hes been having surgeries, but no one has heard from him at all this week. I know hes been wanting out, thinking hes trying to go out on disability. Now Im the only non family member left here. I know they secured a 2 year contract with one company, which is up at the end of the year. Also they sold the property here a few years ago, and the new owners agreed to lease the place to us for 5 years, which is also up at the end of the year. This is also our slow season for a couple months. If it dont hold out, the owner may just close the place up and pay off the lease and sub out the one contract.



There is an old hand crank press out in the lobby, just like the one my Great grandfather use to use. He use to be a pressman, and had his own press in the basement of his home when I lived with them. Was cool to watch, this was when he had to melt lead to be formed into type, when type had to be set in a frame that ink went over n transferred to the paper.

No I dont think there is lol.



Btw, I thought about how I described Valinor as like heaven, but its really more like where Zeus lived like in mythology. Not quite, but closer to that than a heaven. Its lands where the elves came from, that mortals cannot get to.

It does sound like you will be unemployed by the end of the year..



Do you own or rent where you live?



The reason I ask is that is I was wondering how easy it is for you to move..



It's nearly impossible for me.

Both lol. I own my home, but pay lot rent. Im trying to get my son to get a better job, cause if I decide to move to Seattle or something and if he dont want to come, then I'll let him take the place over. I've fixed the place up nicely, but I worry he'll just let the place go to hell. I wouldnt have much trouble selling the place, but then my son would be fucked if he decided to stay. So in a way Im stuck for now, but hopefully in the near future I can either move, or find something else around here job wise. Jobs in this area really took a dive 8 years ago, big time.

At least if you decide to go  to Seattle, you have a place to stay. The West coast of this continent is out of reach to move to for a lot of people if you don't have family or friends to stay with once you get there.

And honestly, if not for that, I wouldnt even consider it. You are so right. He did offer me the second floor til I got on my own.

I did find out my bro is studying to be a Mental Health Clinician.

Only twice lol. The first round was a hard read, so many names, places and events. Not only that, but names changed or had Elvish versions, etc. Second time was much easier to read lol. I've also read Unfinished Tales. I've read all 3 Lord of the Rings once, and The Hobbit twice lol. As far as the movies, over a dozen times. They are in the process of making 3 movies for the Silmarillion  



Yes, Im a huge LotRs geek lol.

[Blurt]

Have you read The Children of Húrin?



I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I read it twice as well....first time I was 15. I had just read LOTR and I was deeply dissapointed in The Silmarillian. As you say, it's a difficult read. The second time I was in college and I took 180 degree turn on my feeling for it. I actually enjoyed it immensely.



I'm a huge fan of Tolkien as well but not as much as I used to be....I think the movies kind of killed it for me. Don't get me wrong....LOTR was a very ambitious attempt at bringing the books to life and Jackson hit the mark in so many ways (The Hobbit not so much) but it brought a kind of commercialism to the the story that is sort of off-putting to me. Suddenly everyone is a LOTR fan and most of these fans had never even cracked the binding of any of the books.



I heard that The Silmarillian was in the works....that's where movie making will separate the men from the boys. I'm not sure 3 movies are nearly enough to cover it though.
