Read a random definition: failed legacy

A quick definition of things personal:

Property refers to the right to possess, use, and enjoy something, whether it's land or an object. It's like having a bundle of rights that come with owning something. There are different types of property, like personal property which includes things you own like your clothes or toys, and real property which includes land and buildings. When you own property, you have control over it and can use it as you wish.

A more thorough explanation:

Things personal refer to personal property, which is the right to possess, use, and enjoy a specific thing, whether it is a piece of land or a chattel. It is the right of ownership over something.

A car
A piece of jewelry
A laptop

These examples illustrate things personal because they are all physical objects that someone can own and possess. They are personal property that someone has the right to use and enjoy.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
