I wonder how many folks spring ahead and how many just stumble forward, I have been n hour early all winter so its nice that the rest of the group has now joined me….....

I see that British Colombia is moving ahead for the last time this Sunday and then NOT going back come fall, just wish here in Ontario they would do the same. My dog and I never did mentally change, I even did not change my bedroom clock but the the rest of local world did and it totally buggers...

Indeed just look at Palestine, Ukraine and other places where those with power think they can 'make thing better' only to make things worse ...much worse!.

An interesting thread with a lot of good advice and ideas most of us realy hope we dont have to put into practice for an extended period of time. That said living some distance from town and always aware that road closures due to storms, power failures killing hydo and water supply we try to be...

Same here on win7, only use adobe because I was forced to by some incoming thing, hate damn near everything past win7 era even much of the alternatives, learning curve for new stuff a bit of n uphill climb nowadays and they ALL want us to use their latest and greatest ....Grrrrrr 80 yr old grump...

<<<< think this says it all, as JustDave above says it can be a bit of work but you will never be lonely!

I dont know about my Obit but I have written down much of my very varied life across two continents and over a dozen residences and a wide variety of 'jobs'. I add to it every so often with stuff from the distant past that I had forgotten but suddenly spring in to my mind from nowhere, I an...
