Yes! I got one. Glory be. So I am signed up but in the wrong time zone, which will be okay, as long I tune in when it's Central and not Eastern where I live.
Thanks for checking.

Carol, If you are in Eastern time zone you will tune in at 6:00 PM. - 7:30 PM.
I'm sure glad we don't have to add the time change into this planning! You want a good laugh, you should see me trying to adjust my strict medicine schedule when I travel out of my time zone 🤷♀️
You are registered, @retiredteacher. The teleconference starts at 6pm Eastern time for you, @windwalker @contentandwell @predictable and me.
Hi @alpaca, the teleconference will be 11 am Wed. Oct 31 in Auckland, New Zealand. You can let us know what to expect for Wed as it will still be Tuesday evening here.
For everyone else, don't let the Kiwi time zone throw you off. For us tomorrow's teleconference will be held Tuesday, October 30th at:
6pm Eastern
5pm Central
4pm Mountain
3pm Pacific
If you're not sure, here's a time zone converter: https://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/
Can't wait to talk tomorrow.
I had to ask Rosemary since I wasn't sure I signed in correctly. As soon as I get through these computer operations that are new to me, I'll be okay. I love the Lighten Limbs With Friends for the 12 week exercise plan. I am excited that others want to do this too, and we can be successful and celebrate. Since I started this, I am definitely accountable and will be on the treadmill walking away, building strength and getting healthier with my Diabetes.
I'll be ready to listen tomorrow. I've never been involved in a Teleconference, so I'm excited.

@contentandwell, you brought back some lovely memories! We moved to Minnesota from Charleston (still have our home there), and I remember taking my kids to Patriots Point after school, ever so often...until they heard that the USS Yorktown was haunted! (Their mum was also a bit "reluctant" to go there, after hearing the stories:)
Here's a famous sighting/picture:
@johnbishop I was so impressed by the whole thing. It was a self-guided tour, actually broken up into six or seven tours. When I see something like that it really brings it home, the sacrifices the men on those ships made (women now too of course). I tend to be a very vicarious person which at times is good, and at other times is not good. The plantation really made me sad. On the upside when people tell me about a great restaurant meal, or a some traveling, I can enjoy it too! I should have been a travel agent!

@kdubois I love Almond Breeze, I buy the unsweetened, vanilla one.
My daughter would be good at that I think but she is really busy in her job now so I doubt she would have time. She has no children, I doubt she will, so she has no contact with schools or children either. She has been a guest lecturer at Columbia University teaching writing, but of course those are big kids. She did that when she was a freelancer.

@retiredteacher I'm eastern too, Carol. I live in southern NH, which is almost a Boston suburb. Where are you?

@rosemarya I am the same way when I travel out of my time zone. When we went to Hawaii I just kept taking my medication on Eastern time and got up in the middle of the night to take them. At that point I wasn't really thinking about the fact that in the middle of the night I was not eating, whereas at home I took them with breakfast.
