eek that really sucks dommy *hugs*

my brother left for seattle today and i saw my dad cry for the first time ever. it was weird.

Dom, definitely go talk to Rogers about it. They should definitely have a way to close the account on that phone and open it on a new one. Monkey had his phone stolen before and that's what happened.

That's nothing! Wait til next year! Dubya went and made it even crazier!

"On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to revert the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete."

2007
US: March 11 - November 4
UK: March 25 - October 28
And I assume Canada will be: April 1 - October 28

*sigh*

What if I just refused to change my clocks?!

Damned small town. It really sucks to go to a party where everyone is at least 5 years older than you. And all the girls are taken or are 50 years old.

I think our government is looking into making the change to tie into the US. They originally said they wouldn't give into the pressure, but it would be a problem for the economy to be out of synch (air traffic, trucking industry, cross-border business of any kind, etc). Imagine it being a different time in Toronto & Niagara Falls versus Buffalo

Or being in a different time in Niagra Falls than Niagra Falls!

*Niagara

Shh.

hmmm ... I'm wondering if the clocks changed at different times last year too. Cos I remember something funny with my flight back from Nikki's cos of the clocks changing.

Yeah, from the page I looked up the dates on and quoted in that post, it seems Europe's always different from North America.

I just found out that Douglas Coupland has a new book out soon. But it comes out in Canada a week after I leave And then it's not out here until the beginning of June

I'm sure someone'll buy it for you and send it.

I'll send it to you if you like

I could order it from Amazon, but doing that or getting one of you to send it will probably make it cost a lot more. Thanks for the offer though Kathy

What does Amazon charge to ship to England? I could probably do it cheaper. Anyway, it's up to you.
