If you don't get all that, then it's okay and not worth any brainpower.  |
Well, I know about the time change, and we do the same here in Europe. The only thing is we change at the end of March, not in the middle... So for now there's an hour less difference between you and us.
Good thing, when time changed back last October, we were on the plane coming home from WDW! So instead of 6 hours difference, we had only 5 hours... (Which is still horrible.... hate that jetlag, i think I suffered until Christmas).
But what me confused the most was that times were set in EST, not in EDT. So when you say 8am EST, it should be actually 9am EDT. If you want to start at 8am anyway, the GMT should have changed (or the EST should be 7am...). Glad Melinda changed the GMT's. Here in Holland we are still at GMT+1, in two weeks we are at GMT+2... But with these events you have to keep counting and counting and counting (and that's not my best).
