Realising or deciding?

Er, Groin, maybe a Dwarf wants to banish things he doesn't like to the Shire, but most folks around here generally assign things they like. Things they don't like tend to get assigned to Mordor.

Maybe he likes it

And Nogrod it is not fair to go parental on the Downs

I assign (for only about the third time in my life) having a hairstyle rather than just hair..

All the four posters above me really amuse me.

Anyway, I'd like to assign friends who send you snail mail (and if it features a penguin article, even better ).

I don't think my neighbors are as bad as all that. I'd just like them anywhere but next to my home!

Maybe they could move in with the Sacksville-Baggins!

Things just ... working. Getting work in in plenty of time, having a bus that drops you off at just exactly the right time, wandering around campus for a couple of hours doing everything you needed to get done and having friends who will do that with you and then agree to go to a new exercise class with you so you don't have to go on your own for the first time.

I like second year!

My little brothers (I have three of them), who have been unusually nice today.

One went to buy me some lemonade when I asked him. Another made me ice cream when I asked him. And the youngest took my dog for a walk when I complained it's too cold and dark and damp outside.
