Ackj @Sweetp you are Me!! Hee hee I do take all those same precautions when preparing food:)
-
Well guys, it's almost 10:00 pm overhere. A little hour till bed is calling.
OB, please serve a round for everyone here. Ask @angryadvisor what she would like to drink. -
Hey @bernersenn hope you had a very nice day:) and ty for the drink I will have a SpaceShot :) new drink I just made up the name lol.. now need to think ingredients:/
-
@kathy my day was perfect, hope yours is also. The weather overhere is great.
-
@kathy Ryder Cup IS golf. Golf normally not teams. Ryder Cup is US v Europe. So it becomes a team game..
Four balls, foursomes (I've confused the heck out of Kathy now) and a final singles day.
I'm not a golfer, but there are some things I just can't miss. Ryder Cup. Augusta (@kathy @rat lives very close) love it -
Ty @bernersenn yes my day was relaxing and very nice weather also; )
@Kelani why would you Touch the hands free soap dispenser ?
I haven't seen the Lysol ad campaign. -
@Kathy except for the foot flush, I do the same in public. I dry my hands with the paper towel, then use it to open the bathroom door. Almost nobody does that, which makes washing your hands pointless. :)
I was surprised to learn that the hot air hand dryers are much less sanitary than paper towels. -
@kathy now I am curious, what time is it at your place, right now?
-
@Kathy you wouldn't, I'm talking about the need for a hands-free soap dispenser. Who cares if you hit a dirty soap dispenser pump when your next step is always washing your hands. :)
-
@bernersenn 1611 for us
-
Ohhh no @hunnybunny I get it now. .its kinda like 'best ball' tournament when you have 4 on a team..:) anyway congrats!
-
@E-Star, sounds like you had a great time shopping! Hope you're able to get that tooth checked out before it gets worse.
Hah, @Kathy. I do the same thing when I go to a public restroom. A lot of them here have installed those hand dryers which are nice, but I still won't touch the door handle either and I'll grab extra toilet tissue or use my sleeve. Nah, I'm not germaphobic, either! LOL -
@bernersenn it is 4:13 pm right now here
-
-
Ohh I get ya @kelani I must have misread.
-
Haha @Sweetp yep we are not germaphobic lol just cautious
Jeez I can't keep up lol and now my daughter dinging me
Bbl -
@bernersenn By us, I meant East Coast/ Eastern time zone. The west coasters are 3 hours behind.
-
-
Hi @bernersenn. Yes, you are correct! I live in sunny California.
edit: It is now 1:19pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) -
@kelani get a life, for goodness sake. Go and chase that sweet Mentos ginger ale girl, shoot some stuff with your ever so powerful air gun, listen to Oldfield until the tubular bells are ringing in your ears.
Percentage of stuff in hand wash! There's more to life than that. You can do so much better!!!
Hope you understand ;-)))) -
miss each other = outrun each other. I get punished again, argh
-
No same thing @bernersenn we miss each other comments because of time difference you were right; )
-
@sweetp that is what I remember. I think that is a awesome place to live. The name sunshine state explains a lot.
-
-
@kelani do you mean that the US is divided in two timezones only?
I usually work for enterprise companies. When we have to deal with americans, meetings start at 4:00 pm, US time actually 10:00 am or even 7:00 am. That are those days I hardly haven't time for flinging or chatting, as during my actual project -
@hunnybunny I will not. I like to know what's in the products I buy, and when I'm constantly listening to ads making false claims and encouraging behavior that creates superbugs (like the one that killed one close family member, and nearly killed another last year), I get annoyed by that.
@bernersenn Florida is "the sunshine state" but they get more rain than many other states. :P
Continental US has 4 main time zones. A bit of Maine is in a 5th one, and Alaska/Hawaii are in two other zones.

@kelani how can I mix this up, how is California called?
-
@bernersenn it's weird, because some states don't have daylight savings time. So they don't change their clocks. In those, it will be 4:00, while the rest of the time zone is 3:00. It's pretty confusing.
-
@bernersenn California is the Golden State. After the gold rush.
edit: never mind that the first big American gold rush was in MY state :) -
Ok guys, let us face it: my Ipad has running out of memory, just by switching apps. Stupid device. Hold On, I'm gonna reset it.
-
@kelani I thought only 1 state didn't have daylight savings? I thought uhmm idk where Ripsyives?
-
Imo they should do away with daylight savings its outdated no need for it:^
-
Arizona is the one state that does not change their time, http://www.timeanddate.com/time/us/arizona-no-dst.html
and Hawaii doesn't either (Hawaiian Time). -
Confusing? Yes, I'm back. The last weekend of october we set our clocks one hour back. The last weekend of march we set our clocks one our forward.
Anyway, I am gonna walking my bears, wishing you a very good night.
I also wish you all a very good start of the new week. -
Alaska has two time zones: http://www.timetemperature.com/tzus/alaska_time_zone.shtml
Anyway @bernersenn, California is a great place to live, but I rather live on the coast than inland. Where I live, it gets very hot in the summer, up into the triple digits (Fahrenheit). I think the hottest day was almost 110°F during a very nasty heat wave.
Have a good night! -
-
Ok, the last comment for today - and it goes to @sweetp ! Congratulations.
Those temperatures were a disaster for my bears. -
Yeah, @Kelani. My sister in-law is from Indiana and I remember her mentioning it awhile back.
I agree @Kathy, I don't know why we need DST anymore. I'd be the same way as the farmers in @Kel's state!
Thanks (I think?) @bernersenn. Poor bears, shoulda gotten a truckload of snow for them! In fact, that's what the local zoos do, is bring in tons of snow for their bears and other animals that do not do well in extreme heat. Night-night! -
@Kathy no, DST is very needed. There've been studies showing auto accident rates increase, and peoples' general health decreases due to the limited sunlight exposure in winter months. Farming and dairy production would also take a hit. The gov did a study before they passed the Uniform Time Act, and found not having DST would cost mucho billions per year.
edit: it also cuts total US power usage by 4-5%
edit2: Dept of transportation said DST cuts auto accidents by 2%, and 5% reduction in fatal crashes.
Also, it cut violent crime by 10-13% -
@SweetP My state's farmers? Except for dairy, I doubt ours care one way or the other. Indiana's where the cranky ones live. :)
-
Oh dang, that's what I meant @kelani. The ones in Indiana. Crap, I'm losing my marbles, it's been a looong day already... :-/
-
Huh, I just saw something saying Hawaii doesn't do DST either, and Idaho's trying to get out of it as well.
-
Hawaii never has had DST, and never will. (I sure miss my home state!)
-
@SweetP neat, I did not know that. It would be pretty pointless for Hawaii. I love how we learn something new (and mostly useless) in here every day :D
-
LOL, it's not useless @kel! It may not be useful to some of us, but to others it's an informal education. Heehee.
edit: I agree it can get confusing at times, but hey, no one's perfect. All is good! -
@SweetP hehe, true. By useless, I mean like how Indiana farmers claimed DST adversely affects milk and egg production in their cows 'n chickies. Apparently, cows do NOT like being woken up early. :)
-
@Kelani, that reminds me of a commercial, for Real California Cheese: http://youtu.be/Up880afV_qs - Happy cows come from California. LMAO
