You are in a very close location, but the description is wrong.

*Periantar leans back against one of his favourite tree trunks - a nice solid oak, not too knobbly - and re-packs his pipe*
"Hmm, I wonder how long a thread has to remain un-responded to, to be considered vacant?"

"Hellooooo @Drifa "

*Lights his pipe, and begins to draw, lightly and thoughtfully.*
"Maybe snapdragons this season..."

"Pretty snapdragons would be a lovely addition to any garden. Hello,@Periantar! It is a great day for a pipe. The smell of the weed always makes me feel nostalgic. Mind, it has been twenty-five years since I last lit up. My old lungs needed a breather."

I believe there is no time limit for unresponded threads. Maybe a walk around the Shire will help you guess. Does anyone you know have any notable walking routes? :wink:

@Drifa
are you a sign?

@Periantar - No, not a sign. Here are the previous responses.
I am not alive.
I am not a weapon or a round magical ball.
I am not something you would typically eat.
You could eat small amounts of me. I am unsure how your stomach would react if you ate all of me.
I am mostly plant-based.
I am not Lembas.
I do contain writing.
I am not a book.
I am not a sign.

@Drifa I have to wonder if you might be a contract of employment, which would be presumably on some form of paper made from plant material, is presumably edible, but not particularly good for you, and has writing but is not a sign or a book...

@Periantar - I think you are on the right path now. But no, it is not a contract of employment.

Hello, @Turien Took! Welcome to the game!

No, I am not the contract. But that was a good guess.

Are you the butter spread thin on too much bread, as you are mostly plantbased, and small amounts eaten from? What Bilbo refers too how he feels with the ring.

I am not sure butter is plant-based in Bilbo's time, but no, I am not the butter. Also, if you look at the previous responses to questions, I contain writing.

Again, if you look at the previous responses, I am something you could eat, not eat with. I am not spoons. :wink:

Try again! Where are you @Periantar? You are missing out on the fun! :grin:

Now the 'mostly plant-based' clue doesn't match up (my hobbit mind is filled with Old Toby and cake, my knowledge of the craft of smithing and metal work is lacking), but is this possibly the One Ring?

Hi Turien, 🙂
You could eat small amounts of me, as I stated previously. I, for one, would not attempt to eat the Ring. It would crack my old teeth, for sure. 😊 And, if I swallowed it whole, I'd worry what it would ring around, like Mr. Intestine. Although, invisible poop might be a hoot. 🤣

I am not the Ring.

@Drifa, this is scratching an itch in my brain I had almost forgotten with this guessing game. I also laughed out loud at invisible poop ha! Would the answer be a barrel of pipeweed?

Well, I was scratching my head over this, and then a friend pointed out that even though I'm not a Hobbit, it is my birthday, and I should be generous. :smile:
Yes, @AnsonLongbottom, I am a map. But whether I am a map of the whole Shire or just the routes Bilbo liked to walk is debatable. The map in question is the one that hung in Bilbo's hall.
...He loved maps, and in his hall there hung a large one of the Country Round with all his favourite walks marked out in red ink. The Hobbit
Your up, Anson! :thumbs:

I like your guess. Of course, at times, Erebor has been anything but hospitable.

Where, (in the name of Arda) am I? Not in a hospitable region, and not in Erebor.
