Georgia is the largest. Yes, based on area. Again, just east of the Mississippi. Based on population, Florida is 3rd largest in the country, behind California and Texas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor did I ever watch the show that it was a spin-off of: "JAG". Never saw an episode of any of the Chicago MED/FIRE/PD series and only watch the first season of the original Law & Order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just joking. 😇 Oh yeah, all the Newfie jokes. LOL Lots of my family is on Cape Breton Island, NS. Just south of Newfoundland. Its kind of funny, but sad too, that as my mom gets older and with all the chemo, pain meds and Alzheimer’s slowly setting it, she will tell a story from her childhood with some really bad Newfie joke in it with a Newfie accent. Which is weird since she has lived in the US since she was 18 and doesn’t normally sound like her brothers or sisters. Funny how the mind works as we get older and filled with chemicals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the anxiety that patients experience but knee replacements are a very rourine procedure. You will end today much better than how you are starting this day.

I just had to Google a time zone map to confirm that you weren't messing with me. You would have taken a lot of drinks from me in a bar bet with that. There are half-a-dozen states that are in both Central & Mountain time from North Dakota all the way down to Texas. What surprised me recently was that Tennessee is split in half between Eastern and Central time zones. I didn't realize that until I drive thru recently and passed a sign that said "Entering Central Time zone". Took a good 45 minutes for my cell phone clock to sync up with the new time. I guess it was still pinging off cell phone towers in the Eastern Time Zone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted February 9, 2022 #47847 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Did you know that Hawaii and most Arizona do not observe Daylight Saving Time? Hawaii makes sense, it doesn't matter since the sun rises and sets the same time every day. But Arizona - it's got to be odd that sometimes your clocks line up with Pacific time zone & others with Mountain. Then again, nobody is complaining so maybe it's not that odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelGirlinDallas Posted February 9, 2022 #47848 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Whew, finally caught up again! I had Covid last week and got behind on reading this thread, and it moves so fast! I’m fine now other than the lingering fatigue, which is rough. Andrew had symptoms for only 2 days but tested negative, and my husband Brian escaped unscathed. Best wishes to @Sea Dog this morning! Hope all goes well! Speaking of surgery, our little rescue kitty Lucy is going to have to have a large bladder stone removed on Friday. You can tell it’s making her so uncomfortable; she’s in her litter box every couple of minutes. I’m so glad we have her now (we adopted her in October) so that we can get this fixed for her and help her feel better.
