Things are seldom as easy as they might seem.
Here are some sites that might help. If a person posts a future time in Greenwich Mean Time, anybody in the world who knows their local time zone (and who can read, surf the web and understand simple charts) could extrapolate the corresponding local time from these resources. Or if the person does not mind saying where they are, they can post, for example Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific time in the U.S. and others can use these sites to calculate local time.

9:30 p.m. EST (21:30) Aug. 13 is 1:30 a.m. Aug. 14, GMT (01:30 Greenwich Mean Time).
To convert military time to a 12 hour format, simply subtract 12 from any time after 13:00 (13:00 - 12 = 1 p.m.; 23:00 - 12 = 11 p.m.)

Don't you ever migrate? I'm north of you. If you find Ottawa on a map there is a large river going north-west, I'm not far off the more westerly part of it. So I guess we are in the same time zone. It's almost three here.

willow,
if we all decide on a day/time probably say earlier evening so that our UK people can join in as well, I work mondays at night so thats me... i dont know about everyone else...i'd be great though to have a live chat w/ the board regulars... irc-chat flows so much easier than msg board talk...

I didn't realize you were in Ottawa, silly. I would have at least known that was north. Maybe.
It's 3:25 here so I think we 'er the same.
My guess is you had said you were in Ottawa before and I forgot. That is partly what Prozac has done for me. :(

I'm about five hours west of Ottawa, but figured you wouldn't know where Callander is. Yeah we're in the same time zone I checked Pennie's link.
We'll see how many people we get and set up a day and time for a chat. Are you interested?

So Monday night is not good for you Kid? Would the afternoon be better? Early evening not good for me unless I get a sitter. If I know in advance I can do that. I could get the children settled around 7pm watching tv and bedtime routine but it is a gamble sometimes they start battling.

I've been able to log-in or sign up under the name whisperingwillowca. That wasn't too difficult, but I can't find the chat for psycho-babble open. I thought I would do a dry run. Not much luck so far.

didn't get the children down until now. What a day! ... but then that's another thread. It's ten now, I'll keep the chat thing open.
Was everyone able to navigate to the psycho-babble open chat?

Sorry, my laptop ran out of juice, though it should go far longer than it did and I had to go inside where I was bombarded with "Wondered where you were."
Should give it another try, though.
