Thanks. Our southern states moved to daylight savings last weekend, but we just stay the same all year round, so I get lost where everyone else is up to!"

The US "falls back" on November 1st this year, so you've got a couple more weeks yet.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Thanks Becky - I may even remember this when November starts ;)

I NEVER remember. I just wait for someone to tell me. LOL

[Becky]

The only reason I ever remember the fall date is that it's always just before NaNoWriMo starts. Back when I was doing that, the time change gave me an extra hour in the morning for writing before work. The spring time change always takes me by surprise. :P

Hi everyone

I'm going to be travelling overseas for the next few weeks (from Friday) and without my laptop (from tomorrow) - so my checking on posts (completion and selection) will be sporadic (or rather, more so ;)

I will do my best to keep track manually and post in each thread if something is missing.

Please PM me if you have any questions or comments :D

[Becky]

Have fun and safe travels, Jane!

[I.M.]

ooh nice hope you have a good time

[Katie]

Have a great trip, Jane!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hope your trip is wonderful Jane!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Thanks everyone!! Getting pretty excited, and looking forward to the break :) ...Keep thinking I've left something back at home though (since I had to pack much of my stuff two weekends ago)!

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I always worry about that Jane! I'm pretty sure that is why I always overpack - I do not travel lightly!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I'm not so bad at that - good opportunity to shop ;) but I'm paranoid about travel documents and money... I know I have all of that though. It's just an annoying irrepressible and unwarranted worry ;)

[Sassafrass]

Have a great trip, Jane! I'm jealous!

Have fun in NYC, Jane! I hope you like my neck of the woods (well, kinda. I'm 2hrs south in Phila, but considering that you're usually on the other side of the world, we're practically right on top of each other!)

[Becky]

Is this blue blue-enough, or is it more teal?

You're not far from me either! I'm on Long Island!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Becky - I think it's too greeny blue. Try again :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hey Amy & Sass - I'll keep an eye open for you both ~ lol!!!

[Ezi]

would it pass muster?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Very borderline - but I'll pass it :)

[I.M.]

hi jane i know you've been getting this a lot but do you think this is white enough?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi IM - this one works ~ I'd say it's just over the 50% mark...

Hmmmm, I was considering asking about this one, but found something different. Unfortunately, after listening for just a few minutes I've already decided that I can't stand it even for a little over 3 hours! I think I need to change my selection to this one! :D
