You must have a digital one. I hate those things!
I can never figure them out.
I'll stick with the old-fashioned quartz movement ones.


I don't like losing an hour's worth of sleep, but I sure like getting an extra hour's worth of daylight!

For Americans (other than a few hold-outs), Daylight Savings Time started this morning at about 2 a.m.

I wish they'd go back to the old dates for changing!

Oh yes, we have to make it to church on time. I don't mind the fall back part, but this springing forward it tough.

Clocks all reset so it's all good here.

I don't understand why there is such resistance to changing the time. I never did get why it's such a big deal to some folks.

They moved it earlier a few years ago in an attempt to save more energy. They said they would drop it if it didn't save any, and it didn't but they haven't.

Dottie has to work this weekend, so she came up short last night, even though we went to bed early. She had to get up at 4:30 to be to work at 7.

Change them? are they dirty?????ROFL

No time change here and despite a push from a few businesses, it aint gonna happen. We ditched time change in the 60s and it is just wonderful.

Uh...they're still 24 hours long, except for today, which is only 23 hours long!

Do you really like starting your day in the dark? Because that's the result, right now.

Longer hours to be outside in the gardens after work! More time to spend in the pool! More time to be able to get things done outside! I just love DST!

Yeah, the mornings are dark again. But that won't last long. It will start getting lighter again soon.

For people who have to work during the day, it's nice to have that extra time to work (or play) outside at night.

Listen smartie... :p


I don't mind starting my day in the day because it's after work that we enjoy, going for evening walks and such, lounging on the back deck with a book... Love it!

I changed my clocks yesterday morning
. In the Spring, I can't stand to lose that hour at night so I just change them early in the day. But somehow, I felt I lost that much needed hour yesterday

Besides playing on TCS, that is?

It seems like they switch the dates for it every year lately. Drives me nuts!
I have to look at the calendar in order to know when to do it!
