So your a week earlier than we are we'd be 1 November 2026 I'm not confident ours will change either our Senate didn't vote on it last time it came up, but it should again this year
You change three weeks earlier than us in March and a week later in October/November!

It's just our politicians reminding us that when it comes to being dopey, wasteful and annoying, nobody is better at it than the US government.
Most of Europe also does it

At least you have one state and a half that doesn't (what happens in northeastern Arizona???)

I think we had many wonderful examples from all of the places our ancestors came from. We learned some of the lessons, whiffed on a few, and did an experiment here and there that didn't work as it should have. ;)

Popped out of playing to update my "who knows about who" list and thought I'd make a post while I remember it...

Just into Day 16 (on the beach) and seeing a few interesting things.

Debbie and the heels: She's a bit socially awkward. And she's making a transition from dressing up exclusively in jeans, oversized t-shirts, and sneakers to something more feminine. Meeting Maddie and Kim can be a "bad" influence, and she is sacrificing comfort for looks. She heard "Christmas party" and, obviously, overdressed. Who goes to the beach in heels???That's why Meemaw and Kate (the shortest girls) are in the same picture, for comparison.

Ice boxes: That phone number is from the US, right?

Realised/realized and similar words: IIRC (I'm at work right now and don't have access to the files), the only one who uses the British spelling for "realised" is Saira. And it's on purpose because she's Indian. She will also use Mummy (for Mommy, not the Egyptian thing), flavour, and other similar things.

The Lisa cat pose has a story in my mind. They will talk in the game about that photo and that pose.
Remember Emma and Lisa are the "visual artists" in the family. She was involved in taking the picture. And repeated it multiple times when there are so many people (someone shows up blinking, with a weird smile, etc. And there are 18 girls there, no one will accept being the only one not looking nice). It also has to do with Lisa accepting that image as the "family photo" instead of asking to repeat it once again. She's becoming comfortable enough to not be "perfect" in a picture and accepting it for the sake of the group.
Why that pose? What does she lack in her head? Exactly, the Santa hat. She was literally going to jump to get her hat when the camera shot.

Is that my new nickname, sagecrow? lol I know it sucks I lost access to my original blkcrow account here. But that's why I put the crow for my avatar.

Yes, cooler is probably the most common term used in the US. But I have heard ice chest and ice box also used.

Oh, shit! I renamed you :D

Should have 1 more digit in the last group: 1 800 123-4567.
(y)
Oh, shit! I saw the 1 800 and the commercial also talked about $75, and didn't count the rest of the numbers. It looks like it's an Aussie thing looking at their webpage now!
