I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

My bad. I thought it was the hoity-toity pronounciation of the store name. As in:
"Are you shopping at Target?" "No, I shop at Targé."

I didn't know it was a real word either until I looked it up.  I was pretty surprised that it actually got a hit.   :lol:

But since no one's keeping track, I'll let it slide since "Natural" was used twice too, so far.  =)
