It was actually so warm out (601F), I wore my spring jacket. It was cool. I've never seen it before. At first it looked like blowing snow, but there was no way that was possible. I'd never seen that before. I hope you get to see it. And i wore my lightest jacket too. It was so warm out. 3

Haha, aw. He's prepared ...lol. I know we say it every year, but enough now. British Colombia just ended DST, Saskatchewan did it in the 60s. Ontario says we need to wait for QC and New York. Why? I'm sick and tired of hearing we need to wait for everyone else. The world ain't gonna end. 2 1

Popular Post Mikiesboy Posted March 8 Author Popular Post Posted March 8 Happy Sunday and International Women's Day...Have a good one! In other news... Well...the alarm went off this morning. Yes, we still have an alarm ... one of us still works and likes schedules. Every day. It was 8:30am.. Except when i went into the kitchen, the clock said 7:30am. I said, what is going on? Did Michael use his early soccer game alarm? Did the time change? Was that today? Sigh.... Turns out it was. I had no idea… i thought it was next week. Surprise, tim. LOL. 3 3
Popular Post Cane23 Posted March 8 Popular Post Posted March 8 I used to think the time change happened everywhere at the same time, but I just checked and realized that Europe changes the clock in the last week of March, while the USA and Canada change it in the second week of March. As for International Women’s Day, it was widely celebrated in the former Yugoslavia during the socialist period. Over time, it became an even more important occasion for giving flowers and small gifts than Mother’s Day or St. Valentine’s Day. One reason is that flowers are traditionally given to all women - girlfriends, wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, teachers, colleagues, and so on. Some people say it is a “communist holiday,” but in reality it started as a day connected with women’s struggle for basic human rights. ❤️💐🌺 6

The US goes even farther .The State of Arizona doesn't do the time change .And in the State of Indiana one county doesn't do it while the rest of the state does.And Americans call other people backward 1 5

Not sure you will like this, though, Tim: on news today only 35% of Spanish women now consider themselves to be ‘feminists’. The adjective “feminista” is frequently used as an insult by followers of certain political parties and also by ignorant high school lads. Shameful. 8
Popular Post Gary L Posted March 8 Popular Post Posted March 8 (edited) We went to Cabo prioriño near Ferrol ( NW Spain) this morning. Wonderful crashing Atlantic waves below us. And the sun finally came out for a couple of hours! As for rest of the week, don’t ask!!! Edited March 8 by Gary L 6

I've had some wonderful women in my life, my mom, my mother-in-law, a good friend and my online friend/editor. I don't understand why women are treated differently/badly. Humans seem to have a need to control others, rather than build them up. 3 1
Mikiesboy Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 Happy Tuesday. Today we will find out if we are keeping the dog a bit longer or he's going home. We are supposed to have some major rain later today and overnight... north of us is supposed to get freezing rain and north of them, snow. I'll take the rain tyvm. I need a salad. So, i'm off to the store to buy stuff. Hope everyone has a great day. 2 2
Mikiesboy Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 Doggo is gone home but will be back on Saturday for an overnight and then the following Friday. I may be on call to go and walk him in the afternoon. Seems his mom cracked her kneecap on the leg with the replacement. She's limping pretty bad and the doc said to stay off it for a month.. and go back in 3 months if it still hurts. geez. 4
