OOPS!! My DH didn't set our clocks ahead (I forgot too), and got up an hour late. Suddenly this morning he ghasps, and says "I forgot to set the clocks ahead". I lookd at the time on my clock, then my computer, and kind of laughed. He threw his jacket on, and his phone rang.

LOL Well, so he was a little late to work this morning. He's usually 15 minutes eary every day! OOPS!!!


Be safe.

I forgot too. But no work for me and Bf works from home. It was no biggie here. We are taking a lazy day and watching Heroes on DVD and snuggled under the covers on the couch!!

Not me! I LOVE Daylight Savings Time and have been waiting all week with great anticipation for the big moment.

The majority of mine change automatically, I unplugged the microwave yesterday for some reason so its clock needs to be set anyway and we didnt have to be up for anything today so no biggy if the alarm clock wasnt right anyway

I usually change the time the night before on most of my clocks. So far I have never forgot to change them. Glad you weren't too late for work :-)

On the west side of... of... somewhere.
My cell phone and computers change automatically, and since I use my cell phone as my alarm clcok when I need it, no problems there. And normally, I'd be going to work this afternoon, but I banged myself up (again, sigh), and the doc wants me to rest up for a couple more days before returning to the brutal world of retail....

I changed my clocks Friday night (trying to get a head start on getting up an hour earlier.) Of course, I was messed up all day long Saturday....turned on the TV an hour early for the Red Wings game, etc., so I sort of defeated my purpose. I still need to change the time on my pager, in my car, and the clock in the laundry room. Actually, I think the clock in the laundry room is still on DST from last year (yeah, I don't look at it much.)

Oh wow, until I saw this thread I did not know daylight savings starts today! Thankfully my computer and cell phone, the only type of watches I use automatically change.
Now that I think about it, no wonder Jake went to sleep at 1 today when he usually goes to sleep at 12, immediately after play time. Today at 12 he kept wanting to play, lol..

This thread made me chuckle because until I turned my computer on this morning I didn't know the time had changed either!!! My computer and phone are automatic, but not the rest of my clocks. I turned on my computer, saw the time in the corner and thought
?!? Did I pass out for an hour or something?!?

My alarm clock automatically knows the time so it changes itself. I definitely recommend this clock for people who forget to change their clocks. I love that I can just plug it in and it knows the time. Best $10 I ever spent (I got it on sale).

I still have to change the time on the microwave, oven and in the car. Haven't gotten around to that yet.

I remembered. Last night I changed my clock radio.

This morning I did the coffee maker and microwave.

This afternoon I did the living room clock, the bathroom clock, my TV (which for some reason never switches), and my 2 watches.

The computer changed automatically. I don't have to worry about the DVD/VCR player anymore because I have that PVR. And I don't bother changing my answering machine because while it's easy to spring ahead, to set it back I have to listen to "1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm.....1 am, 2 am, 3 am..... etc. Basically to set it back I have to go around the clock 23 hours! So I just leave it alone! LOL

I actually remembered this year! Didn't have to chnge too many things. Our clock in the pantry changes automatically, neither the clocks in the Living Room or Dining Room work, Mom's clock is unplugged, my alarm changes automatically, all I needed to change was my watches.

Hah..hah... We have no daylight savings time here in Japan. So no excuse to be late twice a year.

Here... or There... Hmmm
I did not forget to change them, but when I woke up way too early for my own good, I laid back down and slept WAY TOO long after that the day whipped by so fast and it feels like I got nothing done at all!
Got to love blowing your only day off and not feeling like it was a day off!
