Online chats

Hi Everyone,

Was just wondering whether anyone knew the time here in Australia for when the chatline is on in the states. I'm not sure when the next chat is on but I can't seem to figure out what time in Eastern Australia (Sydney) is the correct time to join the next chat. We are a day ahead as well aren't we? Does all that make sense? LOL

Hi George,

I use a world clock when I need to know international times:

On this one you can type in a time and see what time it would be in tons of cities.

Hope this helps,

:) hi, george, i wondered the same thing, i tried to get into the chatline room a few times, but it is always closed, i will try to find out the time difference and let you know, martha

george i just realised that america has different time zones, depending where you live, i suppose we have to find out which city to look in, can any body help please????

HI Martha,

I put the link to the World Clock just before you posted, but this might be more helpful: its the timezone converter, which you can use to see what time it is in wherever when you are in Australia.

Here's the link:

Hope this helps.

PST - is Pacific Standard Time (West Coast: California, etc.)
MST - Mountain Standard Time (Colorado & I think Texas etc.)
EST - Eastern Standard Time (East Coast - NY, etc.)
I'm sure there's another one too that I'm missing....

CST - Central Standard Time (Midwest)

Oh... and of course, ICT - Time measured by the times we have to get up at night... this, of course, being the most unpredictable.

So... PST is 3 hours behind EST (6pm here in California, 9pm in NY)
PST is 2 hours behind CST
PST is 1 hour behind MST

Hawaii is, I think, two hours behind PST.

Of course daylight savings time can throw it all to hell in a handbasket at times... especially when some states have it, and others don't. :::as she waggles her eyebrows at Arizonians:::

I agree with you on that one Martha :loco: I also have tried to get in to the chat rooms several times, but thanks to Kathi's help will try again.
Good luck to all us time confused Aussies :bonk:
Thanks again Kathi
