Community Happenings: November 6, 2018

Published

Well hey there Community buck-a-roos!

Ray from the Community Management Team here for my first ever Community Happenings (hitching) Post.

Time to take a gander at some Community roundup news. Grab something to eat from the chuck wagon and mosey on over to the fire as you catch up with everything Community on this Pony Express.

(I wholeheartedly promise never to go “Old West” themed on my writing ever again.)

Congratulations to our Fall-o-ween Profile photo contest winner: Sherri Muske with Edison Ford Estates. Sherri paid loving tribute to her dog, Coco, in her profile photo. Sadly, Coco didn't make it to this Halloween, but in her 13 years, she loved getting dressed up like last year when she went as a hula dancer. Take a moment to stop by her profile and congratulate her on Coco's big win!

Get those holiday photos ready! We will be announcing a holiday themed profile contest soon!

THANK YOU so much!!!! How fun!

Shannon Emery Nov '18

Just making sure we post the winner of the mini prize which will go to Julie Lytle‍ to keep her warm in her basement in North Dakota! I'll reach out to you shortly, Julie! :)

It didn't slow them down one bit!

Karen Tuecke Nov '18

Ray Bergman‍ I hope your friends have good luck on their hunt. Hopefully this frigid weather does not keep them inside too long. Blessings to you and to them!

Julie Lytle‍ That's some serious contention for having the time change rock your world. I think you might have set the bar. I can only imagine how cold it gets there!

Joan Perry‍ I've actually forgotten where I parked my car because I got here when it was dark and left as the sun was setting and it seemed like days ago I parked in my current spot.

Barb Faasse‍ - This really is the time of year for morning people. Just becoming more and more productive!

Karen Tuecke‍ - I have friends headed to Iowa and the Midwest now for deer season and they are all posting on Facebook and sending images of how beautiful it is there right now. But hey're from warm South Carolina and the "crisp" morning air is sending them for a loop.

Amanda Shauger‍ - Do you like it better without changing for Daylight Savings? I know Arizona is one of the few states that doesn't participate, and come Spring, I know I'd relish living somewhere where I don't lose an hour.

Shelly Gammieri‍ - I said no more "old west". Now I didn't say anything about "wild west", "cowboy day", "talk like a cowboy day", "Oregon Trail themed", etc, etc, etc...

Shelly Gammieri Nov '18

We're gonna hold you to that promise, pardner...

Amanda Shauger Nov '18

Here in Arizona, we have plenty of daylight so we don't have to save it. It means that we're only 2 hours behind East Coast Time instead of 3 hours. I don't have to wake up at oh dark thirty to take a webinar.

Karen Tuecke Nov '18

The time change has not really affected me all that much. I can say I feel more refreshed, but I think it is because it gets dark earlier and I am going to bed at a decent hour. Julie Lytle‍, I am in Iowa so I feel some of your pain. Cold (no snow yet). Damp. Dark when I leave. Fortunately I do work in an office with windows.

Maybe you could try getting out of the "basement" during breaks and lunch?

I think you need a cup of the warm stuff from Starbucks. Blessings.

Barb Faasse Nov '18

I personally like the time change. Much easier to wake up in the mornings and get going on my day when it's not dark outside!

Joan Perry Nov '18

Not sure I should try to top Julie Lytle‍...yes it’s dark when I wake and dark when I leave work and no windows, but not in ND and no snow. But still confused when I get in the car and try to figure out what time the clock really should be, and discover other clocks that don’t auto-update...gotten spoiled with cell phones & computers that do.

Shannon Emery Nov '18

Wow Julie Lytle‍ - I'm going to leave this here specifically for you.

How is the time change affecting me? Well, I feel like relate more to my inner Vampire! I wake up, it's dark. I work in an office in the basement with no windows. I go home, you guessed it! It's DARK! Oh, and did I mention that I live in North Dakota so it's COLD! It's snowing today and apple cider would go a long way to warm me up - hold the garlic please! LOL!
