I may regret posting this thread, but I was inspired by this one:

I replaced "East Coast" with Eastern Time Zone, only because to one who grew up "land-locked" the word "coast" inspires visions of beaches and sand. Many live in the "Eastern Time Zone," WITHOUT having ever SEEN coast. Ah, but I ramble.

Regardless, how ARE things in the Eastern Time Zone? As I write this, it is 1:59 A.M. Eastern Standard Time and every thing is cool in the Detroit area, so far.

Absolutely NOTHING out of the ordinary so far. Just another day in paradise...

Hi GG,

Indeed I wondered a bit when I realized Boris's resignation caught most everyone by surprise today.

I knew his resignation would trigger a response on this and other forums.

We shall see.

In the meantime, I am simply grateful for the continuation of "life as I know it" for the time being.

Blessings to you and yours.

:)

Happy New Year all!

I just woke up at 11:44am Jan 1,00...and we're still looking okay as far as utilities. Let's see how we all fare on Monday.

My internet carrier was down right after 12:00am. I went to bed. That was I bite from the bug I needed since I had been up since 4:00am. I'm glad it's up again! I feel like dancing in the streets! This the first ray of hope I've had in two years (even if it may be short lived). I feel like I need a retreat!

Everything has been fine all day. I feel pity for so many people who have no other interests in life than to hope for a cataclysm to give themselves a sense of power, of "knowing" what the rest of us don't. Oh brother. I don't usually look at these sorts of sites, but being Jan. 1 and Y2K being taken care of, I got curious, but man oh man what a lot of KOOKS out there!
