Returned from the Glacier National Park extravaganza and the Park’s cabins are full!!! So we are going to rent an RV and spend time at the campground IF we can get reservations. We start reservation requests tomorrow! Right now, a Florida beach would be nice.

Sending those struggling today, hugs and care.

Glacier NP sounds a lot better to me.

My wife has never been pregnant, so I'm out of touch with sensitivities of the subject. So end of subject it is!

I’m beginning to see why people got you blocked.

Tonight's dinner is a combo affair... My wife felt well enough to do an easy cornbread and I made a chili only slightly adapted from a Mexican friend's recipe. Once it simmers for an hour or so we'll have these with a nice salad.

I love me some good cornbread.

You are, I think.
I'm near Seattle.

Is it cold and rainy there?

 

[cascadiabound]

So she’s right on your ass! Why can’t she just be 21 hours ahead of you?
Do our timezones have no bearing on how far or close we are to someone? Like wolfie is only an hour behind me and he’s geographically closer then you who is 3 hours (I think) behind me. So maybe I AM closer to NZ?
@cascadiabound HELLLLLP!!

Wolfie lives in the middle of the country - Wisconsin- so he is geographically between us.
AND he is in Central time zone...1 hour earlier than the East Coast and 2 hours later than the West Coast. Again... between.
edit: flight time from NYC is 17 hours. Flight time from Seattle is 16.5 hours.... essentially no meaningful distance in flight time.

usually

 

[LittleSwitchy]

usually

Except for that like 4 weeks of summer you get. Lol

 

[BrendaBear]

So am I physically closer to NZ then because I’m closer to her in time zones?

I do not think you could possibly be physically closer to NZ then anyone on the west coast. NZ borders the Pacific Ocean. The US west coast, borders the pacific ocean. That must be closer than the east coast of the US.

I can’t help it. I’m a glutton

I have a meat stick you can nibble on.

And yes you are closer geographically to NZ than either me or Wolfie... but but such a small amount relatively (plane flights migh be similar length) it doesn't matter that much.

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT A TIME ZONE THING AND A GEOGRAPHY THING?!?!?!

Idk. Cas said I am

Well... no Azul is right.
From the west coast to travel to NZ we would travel farther west (and south).
From the East coast you would also have to travel west - but farther, since you have to also transit the American continent

This is right.I should have looked at a map first, not just thought about time zones.
But I am a little tipsy and a lot tired

Sooooorrrrrrrryyy

I love that gif!

AZ I’m messing with you.
I used to live in Kent/ FedWay.

 

[VoraciousValue]

At least never ask a fat woman when she is due.
I’ve decided to start telling people I’m not fat I’m pregnant and that I’m 50 not 40. So then they will think I look great for my age! I don’t think I will tell them I’m 50 and pregnant though

That’s why I’m here laughing at y’all.

I love that gif!

Me too

 

[cascadiabound]

Oh Nebs.
I'm sorry.
Time zones only go one direction because of the spin of the planet.
BUT... we can travel in any direction. That's the difference

 

[PlanetaryNebula]

Ok. Chaos I must bid you adieux . Till the morrow
