Don't forget to set your clocks forward tonight.

Don't forget, it's back to Daylight Savings Time at 2:00 AM tonight.

So if you live in an area where they do DST it's Spring forward one hour. I guess we loose an hour's sleep tonight.

I luch out because I'm working a shift and I get to leave an hour early. It's my Friday Drunk

Argh. I'm incredibly grumpy about this.

Can't people with small children get a daylight savings time exemption? Evil or Very Mad

Grump grump grump.

(The fall one's kind of cool, but this sucks.)

I don't even know why we do this at all. Seems pointless. I've seriously considered moving to Arizona where they don't observe DST.

Yes, soz. A small child exemption and even more importantly, a housecat exemption. The furry ones wake us up an hour early for weeks until they adjust.

Ok, so it is DLST already? My time doesn't change, but if it did, since it's 12:10am here right now, it would be 1:10? Or does the time change tonight 2 for those of u?

Are we coming off of daylight savings time or going on it? My information came from here:

Click This!

All I know is my clock has to be set forward at 2am to be 3am.

"Spring Forward, Fall Back" That's the only way I can remember.

We have a cool radio controlled clock in our office. They tell me that it's supposed to set it's self at 2am. So I'm sitting here waiting to see if the hands on the clock wind it's self back at 2am. Sucks being bored.

So technically, if you look up at the clock tonight and it says 2:30, you're in a time that doesn't exist. Creepy huh?

And a very good morning to you, too!

Eyes bright? Tail bushy? Good!

Dairy cows take two weeks to adjust to Daylight Savings--and I only need about 15 days.

Hold your dominions--and check the smoke detectors.

And if you like exactitude, don't forget the time portion on your answering machine message. If not you can always wait six months for it to correct itself.

I have a couple of atomic clocks that are tuned to an observatory in I think, Colorado. The darn things set themselves!

My VCR's also self adjust via the observatory, but they need a "middleman" namely the local PBS station that gets the observatory signal.

My PC & TV-VCR both automatically adjust, with no outside input (other than me selecting "adjust for DST automatically").

My dogs do NOT appreciate time change. They were very annoyed this morning.

ehBeth--

I'm not sure that I can blame DST, but Iffy wet the bed--and Mr. Noddy thinks it's cute to have her on our bed!
