From LOTR Trivia Game: Mathom question: What is inaccurate in the initial post, and who is the first in the thread to identify it? Ainu Laire is the first one to mention a wrong answer to the first card; but t's ringhead91 who writes the proper statement by Theoden to Aragorn to answer #1 Oh geez... seeing so many names that don't pop up her anymore... *sigh* OK... continuing: Hunt for plants, trees, or animals weaver posted about, and post the link and (if you can find one) a picture of the object.

When Gandalf tries to open the doors into Moria, what is the design element on the door that he first touches with his staff? The star 3. What is the shape of the stone table that Frodo places the One Ring on at the Council of Elrond? Octogonal 4. What weapon does the Cave Troll first use to attack Legolas? The chain around his neck 5.

Loresilme Doriath Apr 27 2017, 1:36am Views: 2356 *Rememberies* in honor of weaver :) Always in our hearts, dear weaver Visual Treasure Ah, the framecap library! So many beautiful screencaps, carefully selected by Lisa/aka Reera the Red. We so often said that scrolling through the screencaps there is like strolling through an art museum. We used (and still use) that site for so many of the LOTR Movie board discussion threads! Too many wonderful discussions to count. Challenge: find the link to the visual treasure repository weaver posted, and repost the link in reply to this main post. Here is the link: http://www.framecaplib.com/lotrlib.htm From LOTR Trivia Game Mathom question: What is inaccurate in the initial post, and who is the first in the thread to identify it? That weaver said there would be 'five questions a day' ... and then she posted six questions. The first to identify weaver's tricksiness was Aerlinn! Hunt for plants, trees, or animals weaver posted about, and post the link and (if you can find one) a picture of the object. "5. What color is the mane of Bill the Pony -- blond, black or brown?" (Link here) And here's a picture, but I still can't tell what color Bill's mane is: Find a picture from one of weaver’s “screen cap of the day” posts on the LOTR movie board having to do with kitchens, food, or eating, and post the link in your reply. (It can be a side element as well, not necessarily the main focus of the picture!) What better comforting comfort food can be found than in the comfiness of "Bilbo's Kitchen" ?! Screencap of the Day, July 3 -- Bilbo's kitchen... On a more reflective note: weaver was so eloquent and wrote so much here, she was so many different things - witty, insightful, sensitive, perceptive, thoughtful, wise, and always - always - kind-hearted. I've been reading through her posts, and reminded again of the many heartfelt and thought provoking discussions from those years. Her writings here could fill a small (and very interesting!) library ... I don't think I could ever choose a favorite. Thanks for a lovely tribute to her, SirDennis .

SirDennisC Gondolin Apr 27 2017, 2:09am Views: 2356 Oh my, this thread was made by Ethel Duath - I forgot to say that as Ethel couldn't be with us today, she made this thread a couple weeks ago. I merely posted it for her (with a little light dusting). Sorry about that. We're glad you found some joy in this, I'm sure. Thank you for your lovely reply.

Loresilme Doriath Apr 27 2017, 2:45am Views: 2348 No worries...it is the thought that counts and in missing weaver, we all share in those same thoughts. Thank you .

sador Gondolin Apr 27 2017, 4:33pm Views: 2337 Thank you very much for this. A wonderful tribute (and, I am a little bit ashamed to add, I totally forgot it was Founders' Day!).

SirDennisC Gondolin Apr 27 2017, 5:01pm Views: 2332 I made a game with you in mind, on main - Hope you like it!
