Does anyone really think that Donald Trump, with properties across the globe, doesn’t get time zones?

If you do, you and the loony Left will be sooo easy to beat come November!

I have trouble with time too...

Things that seem like a few days ago turn out to be months... And visa versa...

Time.

Its all relative. 

When I was three a year was One Third of my Whole Life.

Now at 65 a year goes by in a Flash.

I have a bracelet with five watch faces on it - they all work.  My son lives in London, 6 hrs. ahead of our time.  I was also going to various countries - the bracelet has a watch of US time, London time, Paris time, Tokyo time, Sydney time. I wore it during those years we were traveling the globe.

Ti-i-i-ime is on my side.
(Yes it is)

I have a Sister who lives in Carson City, Nevada, and she can't keep it straight.
She will be 70 next month.
She usually calls me after I've gone to bed.

I quite often have to go to the world clock app on my phone because nobody else in the world is on my time zone.

I would say 'what fun you must have had' but you wouldn't see it.

I had to let my sister, who stays up all hours of the night, know not to leave me a voice mail on my work #. She thought when I got to work I'd leisurely listen to it with my coffee. Problem was, my being on perpetual mission support. I had programmed my phone to page me whenever a message was left.
