The wrong time is on my forum info. I don't know what to put there to have it correct. (I live in Massachusetts.)

GMT = Greenwich Mean (or Meridian) Time. Greenwich, England is where are time zones are measured.

We folks on the east coast are 5 hours behind Greenwich time.

(don't mind me, I looked this up awhile ago because it used to confuse the crap out of me. icon_smile.gif )

I have always wanted to fix my time on here. Let's see if it is correct now...

Just a little bit of useless info...

I grew up near Greenwich and there is a little brass strip along the ground in Greenwich Park (lovely park, I really miss that I can't take my DD there!) which marks the Meridian Line.

First kissed my second ever boyfriend just outside the Greenwich Observatory one of us standing in 'yesterday' and the other in 'tomorrow'!! (Well, that's how we thought of it with us standing either side of the brass line!)
