@enlightenedNutella69 - actually I think Owl is in error (or mistyped). I usually use this site: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html - though there are many sites available to convert between timezones :)

Hi guys,
New listener here, just wondering what the party actually is? Haha
Thanks in advance
Well, @RRain, it's the first of it's kind so..... I'm thinking those who come will help to create what it is and what it is not. And I'm pretty sure @Laura and @Kate have some kind of specialty-ness cooking up for you :) cuz you're amazing, you newcomers you!
This app helps me, but I feel like this is just me finding another way to district myself from the real world...
@JessieIsHere, I get what you mean, and I often feel the same. I use this app when Im feeling overwhelmed by the physical or real world—my job, my family/relationships, etc. At first I thought it was just another way for me to procrastinate—but it makes me feel better, helps me with stress. For me, the interactions I have here sometimes help me cope with the next days frustrations. Im hoping this will help me communicate my feelings in a healthy way in the real world too
