Sunday Morning at 2:00 AM we change the clocks for the first time this year. It gets expensive throwing all the clocks out and replacing them with new clocks set for 3:00 AM. I wish they would pick one time and stick with it. Jerry
Oh, I set my kitchen clock today and now I'll to change it on Sunday? dr put a new battery in it. I guess he is the one who set it. I just hung it back on the wall. I had the step stool and he didn't. Well, I guess I can take it down again. I think we only have eight clocks to reset. Is that too many for a four room house? dooley
Of hand, 25 clocks, there may be and probably are more, 11 change by themselves. They stick clocks in just about anything. I have not worn a watch in 45 years. Jerry
Ugh, I dont see the point of switching back and forth. "Only the white man could cut a foot off the bottom of a blanket, sew it to the top and think they have a longer blanket" hahaha I think I mixed up some of the words, but whatever, ya'll get my point! haha
So they do this silly clock-changing-thing in the U.S.A. as well? I've never quite seen the point of it either. That Indian saying couldn't be more to the point, Bip! I don't know about you guys, but I always find changing back in Autumn the most annoying. (I have one of those old-fashioned mechanical, chiming wall-clocks with weights. To change it backward meant having to let it chime every half hour as I turned it, that is, until I figured it was much easier to just stop it for one hour! ) Ours doesn't change until 30/31 March. Makes me wonder who or what decides on when to change???
Surely it would be more practical if they got us to move the clocks forward just 1/2 an hour and then left them alone. Is there no-one in charge with even a little common sense? :-? Like Gardenelf ours don't go forward until 2am on the 30th March.
Eileen... I have been preaching the "half hour" change for years. And the politician who will vow to do this will get my vote no matter what! :-D
I'm not a fan of the clocks changing either ... It usually takes about 2 weeks before things go back to normal for me - especially after we fall back. I have noticed though, that I have been waking up an hour earlier lately so maybe this time it will be different.
"Daylight Savings Time" is just another way of saying someone in the government didn't have enough to do, so he/she messed with time. El Paso, Texas has the right idea--they ignore DST completely and just chug along with the sun.
Jane... same with Arizona. When I lived in New Mexico and had friends in El Paso AND Arizona. I was always confused on what time to call them.
