I would like to share this milestone with you wonderful people - I made it to Easter this year without purchasing or consuming a single Cadbury egg! I typically indulge non-stop with the evil things, but I'm trying to get into better physical shape for a vacation in Arizona 8 weeks from now. Being able to resist Cadbury eggs, Reeses eggs, and jelly beans may be an indication that I've achieved adulthood (at the tender age of 60). No temptation with "Peeps" for me. They remind me of stale marshmallows that got dropped in the sand.
FreddieDarling, the only fruitcakes I've seen here are just plain with no icing, and no marzipan.
BQK, I'm bad with the Reese's Peanut Butter eggs too. I like to put them in the freezer and tell myself they won't be such a temptation if I have to wait to thaw one out. Not so, they are delicious frozen. As for peeps, I like them but only if the package has been opened, they've sat on the counter for days and are hard and chewy. They do have cotton candy flavored Peeps this year though and I know my grandkids got me some. I will probably love them.

I'm not sure I understand what you meant CHEVY. I am perfectly healthy and will, I'm sure have a very nice Easter.
Villiers is the one who is sick if that is what you meant by "TRY to have a happy Easter."

Hummm…"I am sure I will have a nice Easter."
Thor, thanks for the update on the unconfirmed time. That gives me some time between now and then to try and figure Instagram out. I'd love to watch it live, but if I can't, no big deal. I'll catch it on YouTube.
Thor , sorry about that I read back and saw she was sick.Iwas just letting You know to have a happy holiday hope your travel home is a safe one.
Villers,Hope you feel better soon it's no fun being sick.
Hey Thor, Lee and I have been chatting about Monday the 22nd at 1pm PST if that works for you? He said that may be too early, so anytime before 4pm CST is good with me. Let let me know what you guys prefer, and I'll start promoting it. Also, he says you guys did get a chance to look over the questions and pick some you liked. If yall have them picked, feel free to shoot em back over to me so I can scribble down a quick script to work from. Thanks again for being so patient. This kidney stone thing had me thinking I was going to die Thursday. I did not know pain like that existed. A CT, 5 emergency doctors and 3 ultrasounds later, we find it's a kidney stone. Insanity. I asked why 2 rounds of morphine back to back didn't help the pain and they said it's often compared to the pain of childbirth. Oh. Ok. Makes sense! Filling up with water and being doctored at home by a loved one so I'm happy to say I'm in the mend. Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone.
I did catch my brother's cold right before. Turns out the back pain I was feeling during that time wasn't related to the cold at all. Or the fever. Go figure!

Villiers2, I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. Godspeed in your recovery! If the pain gets too unbearable, we understand if you have to cancel and reschedule the Live. Are you presently located in CST? For some crazy reason, I thought you lived in the UK.
Correction: Sorry, peeps, I was wrong, wrong, wrong - AGAIN! The time zone for London is five (5) hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time (EST) in the U.S., NOT four (4) hours ahead like I had erroneously reported on 4/13/19 on p. 197! My bad. I should’ve consulted the World Clock on my iPad 1st. I’d hate for people who live in EST to lose out on the Live, if they believe they’re 4 hours behind London, instead of 5. Daylight saving time messed up my math (Spring forward, fall back.). I wasn’t aware the UK adopted daylight saving, too. BTW, EST is 3 hours ahead of PST.
Actually, it was Thor who unintentionally alerted me I had erred on the time zone. I thought HE was off by one (1) hour, but it was actually me. He had reported that the Live might be 1 PM, Pacific Standard Time (PST), when it would be 9 PM London time. I thought it should’ve been 2 PM, PST. Sorry, Thor, I shouldn’t have doubted your accuracy in the 1st place. However, it made me realize MY inaccuracy.
For those who live in the UK, you operate under British Summer Time, right, and NOT Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Universal Time (UT)? I learned about British Summer Time for the 1st time earlier tonight. I always assumed Londoners operated under GMT, because Greenwich is a suburb of London? Please clarify.
@RussiaLand, it’s a tradition in the U.S. to dye eggs, too. What part of Russia are you from? 2 of my good friends from high school majored in Russian in college and have shared the language and love of Russian literature to me over the years. One of them and I had recently talked about visiting breathtaking Lake Baikal in eastern Siberia one day. I’d like to dive in the Lake and visit Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well.
@FreddieDarling, what a lovely photo of the Westminster Bridge in London @ dusk!
Well, it’s 1:58 AM, EST, in my time zone. I bet Queenzone shall date/time it as 5:58 AM, another reason why I was lead to believe London was 4 hours ahead, instead of 5.

Well Britain is smack bang on the Greenwich Meridian line so yes we use G.M.T. but as I believe you in the U.S do, every last Sunday in March we put the clocks forward an hour (Spring Forward) so we have lighter evenings for longer. And the last Sunday in October, we put the clock BACK an hour (Fall Back, though we always use the word autumn) so that it's lighter in the morning for travelling to school/work etc.
If you use the same time frames to adjust your clocks we will still be "n" hours ahead of you.
To complicate history before the era of the railways when it became necessary bdhe to railway timetables, different parts of our little nation had slightly different time zones. The West Coast I think was about 15 minutes behind of the East Coast as obviously the Sun rises in the West and takes a certain Amount if time to appear at a certain position in the sky thanit dies on the opposite coast.
During World War II the government imposed Double British Summertime meaning that in Spring the clocks went forward 2 hours, this was to allow the farmers to have as many hours of daylight as possible to tend to and gather the harvest as we had to suddenly become far more self sufficient as trading from overseas became tremendously difficult with us being at war with many of the nation's we traded with and the dangers to Merchant ships from the Navies of "the enemy" .
Never heard of Universal Time by the way!.
Black Queen"s Kid! Wow! I had no idea you got Cadbury's Creme eggs in the US. !

Black Queen"s Kid! Wow! I had no idea you got Cadbury's Creme eggs in the U.S. ! Treat yourself to one! They only appear a few months if each year!
Isn't that funny about the Fruit Christmas cake ! You imagine these things are everywhere!
Have a great Sunday, peeps! Don't scoff too many eggs! :-)
I'm hoping to bag my little Fredie doll (SH Figuart Neca figure) in about 3 hours! Fingers crossed!
