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

Visits from relatives - almost all my family's back in the homestate, and it's so nice to see them again.

I assign the end of the daylight saving time. Finally, after half a year, all my clocks are right again.

Daylight savings doesn't end until next Sunday, though, I thought?

I hope I'm right...

Folwren- Daylight savings time ends at different weeks in other countries. So you're right...we don't change our clocks in the US until the 4th of November.

I assign this wonderful place with all of you very nice people, and going down to my nice quiet room with absolutely no brothers wanting to listen and scratch up your RotK or FotR soundtrack, reading a nice book. Or eating Pierogies eating veggie sausage links and drinking Henry Weinhard's root beer, and watching those PJ LotR movies and yelling at the tv screen for bad or worse.

And playing outside on a warm sunny summer or autumn day, and whacking the boys across the street with my awesome stick...(just wait 'till I can get myself a "Sting"). Or laying on the bright green grass in my front yard in the lazy days of summer break feeling the sun on my face!

Yep, as Brinniel said, it ends at different dates in different places. It really should be unified internationally. I can tell you from recent personal experience how confusing it can get.

I'd like to assign a small Peruvian boy who will never know I exist for selling one of my teachers a bag of [knit?] finger puppets an indeterminate number of years ago.

Aye, and no one told me it was on Sunday, I was very confused.

But to the Shire goes doctors who don't argue with you but instead accept that you know what drugs you need having been dealing with them for 18 years and that the asthma nurse is pointless so don't try and force you to see her. I like my new doctor.

Sounds like a sensible Hobbit.
