Yahoo!! It's up!

I'm not here all the time, but I thought it was just me when I couldn't get in. Hello ladies! It's great to see all of you again.

Hi Cyclingnewbie - glad you made it back

Sadiekate - we do have daylight saving although here it's colloquially known as 'Changing the Clocks'. Around the last weekend in October we put the clocks back one hour so we have more daylight in the morning ( or that's the theory - just means it gets dark an hour earlier than normal , bah!) . Then round the last weekend in March they go forward again so we get nice light evenings again. Fall back, Spring forward - is a useful rhyme to remember what's going on.

However, the UK is always an hour behind France, even when the clocks go forward.

How do you cope with different time zones in the same country? Us little UK islanders get all in a flap when it changes by an hour!

In the U.S. almost all the states do the Daylight Savings adjustment... is it Nevada that doesn't?

So from end Oct to end Mar the whole country is adjusted back an hour, then come Spring we all "spring forward"... except those one or two who stay in spring time all the time.

Have I got that right ladies?

You can't believe all the work I got done while the forum was down! Now I know where all the time goes when I should be making dinner, washing clothes, working, etc.!

MM, I've got a sister in Mountain Time, a sister in Eastern Time, a sister (in law) in Pacific Time and I'm in Central Time. Makes phone calls crazy!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! When I got the "your IP address is on this servers rejection list" I actually sent a message to TE asking them if I had said or posted something I was unaware of that had booted me from the board. I was already thinking how to start a TE Board Anon for recovering ex-TE posters but - whew - it wasn't me! I LOVE the new look but it's gonna take some time to get used to moving around in This one!

And MM - my posts should show up as MST or MDT which is Mountain Standard Time. It puts me 2 hours behind the east side ladies and I guess I just don't think about the time difference. It just is! (heavy thoughts for the day no?!) Anyway, welcome back everyone - gosh I missed you!!!!

Actually Spazz: it's Indiana - parts of it, and all of Arizona don't change time. I lived both places before moving to New Mexico and LOVED it! I HATE the time change. How do you tell your body - ok hun...its an hour ahead now on the clock so you gotta change your inner clocks??

Daylight savings time, groan!!!

I have coworkers in every time zone in the US plus whatever zone Australia is in. The offices I work with the most are Phoenix (which doesn't recognize daylight savings) and Newton, MA. Nobody ever knows what time it is for the person they're talking to. Thank goodness, Outlook converts pretty reliably and when the east coast people schedule a 5 am meeting they are gracious when I send them a rude reply about their choice of time .

I personally think the stupid system infringes on my riding time.

I'm loving the upgrade... much better "look".

Plus I'm having a ball messing with my profile.
