Hi, guys! Locations manager here! Didn't get much of a response on the last two postings of the locations list, so I thought I'd space it out a bit more. But with so much more traffic, it's clearly time for an update:

If you see a question mark, it's because I need more info. If you're not on this list, we'd love to see you here! It's great to see where in the world our group is coming from. Wanna get added? Post it on this thread or PM me; either way I'll see it and put you on the list. I'm reluctant to add newbies without permission, even though the info is available on their profiles. Be as specific as you wish, no pressure.

Come one, come all! (Yes, I know. But I'm leaving it in anyway.)

...Central time zone, that is . So, neatfreak, you got my location and time zone right; just wanted to let you know. Any other data we can share? Like our sign, sex, orientation,...availability? Anyone wanting/needing more info, please feel free to ask!

Bringing in some lovely Heath photos...and one of Hugh, too.

I'm new and I just registered.  This is my first post so hope I'm doing it right.  The whole forum layout is a little confusing to me here.
I just discovered the 'Laramie Sagas' last week and have been captivated by these wonderful stories.  I just finished Book 3: A Second Chance.  Wow, what a cliff hanger! 

Welcome, welcome, welcome!  Yes, I do indeed remember that distressful cliff hanger!!!

We all love 'reliving' the Laramie Saga (at least I know I do, and I know Leslie does, and so does Fred... so I hazard to guess so does most everyone else), so feel free to share any moments with us as needed!

Hi,

My central time zone is the same as Louise's. Is that what CET means?

[magicmountain]

Hi Natali,

My time zone details are:

AEDT Australian Eastern Daylight Time Australia UTC + 11 hours (Summer)
AEST Australian Eastern Standard Time Australia UTC + 10 hours

[yb]

I'm 2 hours behind magicmountain's (Sydney).

[MaineWriter]

I'm 2 hours behind magicmountain's (Sydney).

So then, if it is 8 am in Maine, it is 7 pm in Australia (mm) and 5 pm in Hong Kong (yb), right? And Japan is exactly 12 hours different. Just waiting for our first Japanese member to show up. We are such an international group!

You are right about mm's and my time zone, but mm is in Eastern Australia, if we have someone from Western Australia, he/she is on the same time zone as HK.  Japan is 1 hour ahead of HK.
