Phil, I hope the situation with your Mom is improving.  I have to thank you though.  You're making me think more of my own mother lately.  It doesn't bring her back, but it does bring her closer again.

As I said about DST:

As for Daylight Scamming Time

If the government said we're moving the workday and schoolday an hour early, people would complain.

So they do it but claim the hours are the same. 

No. Noon is an hour after highest sun angle. They are just relabeling the hours. A SCAM.

Let them just be honest about it - move the workday 8-4.

Maybe it is my astronomy background - noon is when the Sun is highest in the sky (allowing for the fact that we have time zones, so this is approximate, but I can understand not having different times for locations not that far away)

We're now calling that I PM.

When I was still working, my employer let me choose my hours (within reason).  I chose 7am to 3pm.  If I were to work until 4pm, I would have gotten home after dark during most of standard time.  Like I said, I prefer DST, but that's just me.  Your mileage may vary.

Well, Obama caused sea levels to stop rising, so it seems only fair.

And as we all know now, all things in life must be fair now.  Wouldn't want to hurt anybody's feelings now, would we?

Still waiting on visitation procedures and scheduling. Right now they are focusing on pain management. There are a few other issues involved and I found out about "patient navigators" this week. *spit*

I say we change things up a bit.  How about basing the clock on Low Night?  Midnight (12:00 am) is now when the night is the darkest and we set the time by that.

They were from me.  I was trying to type something in at the same time as carry on with a phone call from my sister and I ended up with this tiny font here on Rude Bridge, not any other sites.  I cannot figure out how I did this or how to get it back to something we can read. LOL

It's super small on my page.  I don't normally need reading glasses but they'd help now.  I'm glad to know you see a larger font.

When you are on this site, type Control-0 (hold control key and press digit 0). If that doesn't work, use the digit on the numeric keypad instead of the top row.

Did the whole page get small or just your typing? If the latter, that is harder to fix.

You're welcome.

Somehow, the page got zoomed out. Holding control down while moving the scroll wheel does that.
