What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Under System Preferences, click Speech. Make sure 'Speakable Items' is on. Hold down 'ESC' and say, "Tell me a joke." Enjoy.

I assign waking up at ten (okay, that is something to assign, but there is more) to a phone call from a friend I haven't heard from in two years. And then having an awesome day to boot!

ABS (anti-lock brakes) without which I might not have been here after my car aquaplaned last night - I don't think I would have had the wit or skill to cadence brake when I hit a load of floodwater the lights didn't pick up in time...

*shudders* Well then it definitely deserved to be assigned it to the Shire. Scary. So was there flash flood around where you live?

I can assign flea medicine for cats. The poor little devils have been miserable for a week, but the tide seems to have turned.

Good coffee in my cup, rain outside my window and the Swan of Tuonela on my cd player.

Not really more the opposite.... a lot of rain in a day after a lot of rain over a long time...I think it was a blocked drain since it was on a main road which is usually clear. Of course all the dead leaves have been blown from the trees and are clogging drains which doesn't help. But we are a lot better off than the poor souls in Cumbria.

Ah, okay. I thought so because I had only a very vague idea of some floods around GB, given my general ignorance streaming from somewhat limited value of information sources I've had access to lately, and did not know on how large scale it happens and thus if it also was your case.

Aanyway... I assign artificial light, particularly candlelight, to the Shire, and also the idea of common meals with the family.

I would like to assign that most worthy and gigglesome word "Busseau".

Busseau.
