myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)4 months ago

I have to admit I forget about it when I am communicating with people, until they remind me its morning where they are, or night, I never think about this, I can't seem to wrap my brain around this its so crazy to me.

To all my fellow mylotters what times it where you are? how do you feel about this topic in general?

I travel a lot so my brain is geared for thinking about this!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hello tdemex happy


O.k well that makes sense, I never think about that,when I say good morning I really mean good morning until someone says its nighttime where I am, I say to myself how is this possible, I just don't get this honestly. confused


myLot reputation of 86/100. tdemex (2234)  4 months ago

It's normal most people don't travel, and most Americans think they live in the center of the universe! LOL! thumbup tdemex


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hi tdemex happy


Hey now, be nice, I requested your friendship, I read some of your responses I like what you have to say, I think I can learn a lot from you, so if you don't mind please accept. thumbup

I know I will never really get this time difference thing, would be nice to say goodmorning/goodnight without having to be told I made a mistake yet again.


myLot reputation of 86/100. tdemex (2234)  4 months ago

I didn't mean to offend you! Sorry. I've spent some time in NY working, we had a company Apt. in Manhattan and I had a condo in Elmsford, I got to know lots of New Yorkers, I usually don't group people in one unit but NY is a unique place! As I said I've been all around the USA and am now in Mexico for a few years! Thanks for the friend request. T----


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hello tdemex thumbup


You did not offend me at all, sorry if I made it sound that way, what an amazing job you have to be able to see different places wow, if only sad

I am sure that took a lot of getting use too, so what happens when you get use to a certain place/people and in your heart you don't want to leave how do you feel? where are you from originally?

Thanks for sharing this with me, I find your life pretty darn amazing.


myLot reputation of 86/100. tdemex (2234)  4 months ago

I grew up in the Detroit area, started roaming when I was 17, went to northern Michigan work at a summer resort, went to collage and moved to Florida then Lake Tahoe Nevada, Sun Valley Idaho,Phenx,AZ back to Idaho( It's wonderful there) Centralia Wash. Salem Oregon, back to Detroit. And then started doing Road Warrior work installing Assembly lines for the auto Industry, I'd go to places for 8 months and then they sent me to Mexico for 3 years, I moved to Laredo TX, and then did construction work for flood and hurricane damage as a first responder! A brief discription! LOL! T----

myLot reputation of 86/100. tdemex (2234)  4 months ago

I'm not working now there's lots more to the tdemex story! LOL! But I've been here over a year I first joined when I was working and I was making a ton of money! I joined just to improve my typing and spelling skills! But now I'm here a lot more for other reasons one is the money! I've gotten into on line marketing and I use mylot to stash cash in money investing sites, along with trek pay I do OK! It's going up instead of down so I consider that on the plus side! I'll keep in touch! happy T----


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

2. myLot reputation of 96/100. thea09 (4642)   4 months ago

Hi Kitt, the problem with asking this question is everyone responds to the time it is now and then tomorrow they will all be down as 'one day ago' and you won't actually know what time it is. I know what time it is with a few of my friends when it is noon here. Right now it is 7pm here so it's 11am over with Lamb on the West coast of your place, 2am with my friends in India, 5pm in the UK and and 1am in Malaysia. But I have no idea what time it is in the Bronz. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hello my friend thea09 happy


I know what you mean, trust me I am not trying to figure this thing out now, just curious as to the times of the people that respond to me now, its 12;18 here in NYC, so its 7pm where you are amazing, you will go to sleep soon, when you wake up I will be asleep, so weird confused

3. myLot reputation of 85/100. Gorjess (1072)   4 months ago

Well on mylot I mainly talk to UK people which is good, someone is in Italy but I assume there won't be much difference there.

I used to be scared to sleep in the dark but when I first learned that somewhere else in the world it was daylight it helped a lot. So then when I'd be alone in the dark and it feels like the whole world is asleep but me, I could know somewhere people are awake!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

hello my friend happy

trying to respond to you but its hard for some reason, I like the way you see things, if only I thought about that I could some what understand this thing, thanks for the response hope this goes through thumbup

happy Hello Kitty. I am far more aware of its existence since the internet, but I still do not know by how much the time differs from country to country. But...I know it can be by a LOT. It's hard to know if you should be telling someone to have a good day or to enjoy the night lol. lol

myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

smoochess my friend happy

here at mylot I am hearing it a lot, which is why I asked the question confused

You didn't say what time it is where you are, this way I can try to remember some of my friends differences thumbup

It can be frustrating at times. I have a number of American friends and we can be anywhere between 5 and 8 hours apart.

On myLot in particular, when I am going to bed can just be starting to get going and I miss it. Then it sucks. Other times I don't think about it.

For example now, here in the UK, it is getting close to time for the Desperate Romantics. Over there it is not. Comprendez?


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

hello my friend happy

You are right about that its 4pm here [em]thumbdown[/em]mylot has really made this a issue for me some what, I say good morning they say good night, I am like huh, I always forget that this actually exist, I will not lie and say one day I will get it, Not going to happen, I will stay away from the goodmornings/goodnights stick with "hello my friend" happy thats safe.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Hair_of_the_Dog (511)  4 months ago

*Hello, my friend*Sounds like a universal greeting we could all use without fear of getting it wrong.

On occasions tho, people will sign off with a 'good night' or in with a 'good morning' That is natural and I myself will probably do it most days. Or do I?


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7417)  4 months ago

ppfftt, I'm always saying goodnight when it's good morning or vice versa. I miss my far away friends. cry

myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

If someone responds to me with goodnight at the end of their post I will say goodnight as well,other than that I will not go there lol, makes things a lot easier for me that way thumbup

7. myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (3234)   4 months ago

I've discussed the time back and forth with many of my friends here, so I am fairly conscious about what time it is where they are when we talk, but I STILL have problems remembering that for my friends on the other side of the Equator, the seasons are opposite to what I am having at any given time.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hello The_Lamb_Lies_Down_


Well at least you are aware this is something that just do not click in my mind, I find this whole thing so funny I will say, it would be really hard for me to adjust to a time change really. shocked

I will be more aware, but I will greet everyone the same this way I don't have no any problems lol thumbup

Thanks.

Oh Kitty, it drives me bonkers! I have so many friends out of the country, now. I hate the afternoons when I know I can't reach them. LOL! I'm such a sucker for my friends. I often think, "I wish I could talk to so and so" and then realize they are snoozing away, blissfully unaware of my needs! heee. I miss them so much during the times when I know I can't reach them, but isn't it always like that? LOL!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hello my wonderful friend happy


Are you back with us for a while? I miss you cry


I have someone that I exchange thoughts with daily and our time is way out of wack, This is something that I don't think about at all, you do have friends in different time zones so you are aware, I have a friend in california we talk on the phone, but when we don't talk I forget about the time difference its only here that I am reminded daily.


So good to read your response, I had a ten star yesterday don't know what happened to it, if you see it tell it to come home please. happy


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7417)  4 months ago

Pay it no mind. It'll come home if and when it wants to. The star ratings are evil incarnate and grossly abused...just my opinion!

Hi kitty

Hmm well sometimes i do feel strange about it, though now i have got used to it, especially here at mylot, i open up discussions and some of my friends like you reply at the time i am most probably sleeping...hehe... so i have to check those things out, it rarely does happen that both are online, mostly either when i am waking up too late or doing mylot at the noon... it sure is funny though, we can't do anything about it...hehe...
.

have a nice day kitty, wondering what time is it over there!w00t


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hello my wonderful friend happy

Its always nice reading a response from you thumbup

Mylot has made me more aware of this time difference, I know there is nothing we can do about it I would like to know a little more about it, like what time it is here and there and really know, I never think about this which is sad, I do now, and always will lol some people are actually good at things like this, not me sad

I was on my way out when I got this response from you it was 2pm, what time did you respond do you remember? that would give me an idea of our difference, anyway my friend thanks for the response always a pleasure hearing from you.

10. myLot reputation of 98/100. DCLehnsherr (508)   4 months ago

Because of the way mylot is laid out I actually keep forgetting about the time difference here. The fact that a lot of the members seem to be from parts of India and the East, instead of the US keeps confusing me as well since previous sites I was on were mostly populated by Americans so I learnt the time differences of American and the Netherlands, but not really anywhere else. But I have been an Internet user for a good while now (I started in 2002) and so I have a fair grasp of time zones, even if I do forget about them lol

Oh and I am from the UK and it is 2104, though the way I feel right now makes it more like midnight lol!

Dranz


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hello my friend happy


O.K so 21;04 is that 9;04? I use to use military time at work so I am somewhat use to that, unless the uk have a whole different way of saying the time I am totally lost lol

I have been on the net myself for a number of years, never got into the different time zones, I have one person I speak to in california and she is behind me I think, don't get me to lying let me think, behind o.k I will go with that, if we don't talk I forget like now, I find this truly amazing how you could be there on one time, I am here on another time, shes over there on her time wow shocked



myLot reputation of 98/100. DCLehnsherr (508)  4 months ago

Hey Kitty,

You know, I always thought that military time was in the 24 hour clock, perhaps that is just the way us Brits do it lol

2104 is indeed 9:04PM, you are correct, though it is a touch later than that now and I have to say that I hate the fact that mylot doesn't show me your response when I am commenting. I have a naff memory!

Oh well~ Opens a new window to check what you said lol~

Ahh yes, the best thing I think about the different time zones is the New Year. I know someone in the Netherlands and either last year or the year before we celebrated each other's New year, with hers being an hour before mine. I found that amazing fun, though it is strange to imagine one part of the world being in one year, and the rest in another lol! It was definitely fun to have an excuse to celebrate it twice though:)

What time is it where you are at the moment then? Are you in the part of the US that was 5 hours behind my time?

Dranz

PS: I have to leave now to get some sleep, but it has been fantastic doing this today:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. kitty42 (1165)  4 months ago

Hello my friend happy


Well you are asleep by the time I got this it was 8;25 pm, so I will call it a night myself in a few hours lol, what a wonderful things that was I like that idea celebrating New Years twice how cool is that thumbup, so I was right about the time good for me, lol

I enjoyed exchanging thoughts with you today as well, I am so lucky I have a great group of friends here. happy
