Spring Ahead

[BarTopDancer]

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead tonight!

We lose an hour but it's lighter later! YAY! :snap:

[€uroMeinke]

WTF? Who approved of this ridiculous practice anyway?

[Not Afraid]

Good. Now the clock in the bathroom will be right again.

Otherwise, YUCK! (Like I have a schedule to adhere to at the moment.)

Well, it was Ben Franklin's idea. If you would like to learn more about daylight savings time than you ever imagined possible, check out this link (http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/).

Someone who did not live with cats.

Our cats get so confused with the time change thing. Our old cat Ninja would just about have a stroke when we didn't get up at the usual time and feed her face. Our current brood just has food available at all times, so they don't panic quite as badly, but they are not above attacking the feet when they think you need to awaken.

Hear hear! Scoundrel doesn't know how to tell time and when we "Fall Back" his "Adventures in Gravity" is at the same Scoundrel time as always - but we're an hour off. It's painful.

[Baileykat]

Could be worse...you could live in Arizona...where we don't observe Daylight Savings Time....we just switch time zones! Who thought THIS up?


Sooooo today we're on Moutain time.....tomorrow we'll be back on Pacific time.....

talk about confusing!!!

[Prudence]

Oh crap. Not only do I have to get up early and pick up my husband from his sleep test, but it will be even earlier than I think. Grr.

SO TRUE! Dutch, my kitty, starts her whiny baby kitty cry when her majesty doesn't have her food prepared at the promised times. We battle over whether I get to sleep or not. She wins.

Frickin cat :p

hrmmm, maybe I shoulda got a cat.....if it weren't for all the dammed cat hair.

[Kevy Baby]

Ah, so that's why it took me an hour to walk from the bedroom to my computer this morning. I was kinda freakin' out.

BTW: the clock for the board hasn't made the change yet (I'm talking about DST, not menopause).

[blueerica]

Our Atomic clock thingie hasn't updated.

I must be part cat. I woke up at 5:30 AM (not realizing it was 6:30 AM) and couldn't believe how light it was outside. I was hungry so I ate a piece of cold leftover pizza because it was available.

Comcast hasn't changed the time on the cable box. Now that really bugs me. :p

[FEJ]

No it isn't :D http://home.mindspring.com/%7Ekevin_elder/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/noitisnt.gif

[Kevy Baby]

Well that's just weird!

[wendybeth]

Mine is showing 9:58 for Kevy's last post.

[mousepod]

If you go to "edit options" under User CP, and you don't have "detect DST" chosen, you'll still be off by an hour...

[€uroMeinke]

Ack - I slept in this morning and I still feel tired. Starbucks should give out free coffee on this day.

[FEJ]

check under the options area of the user CP to see what your personal date and time settings are.
You might have the DST off.

Mine is set to automatically detect.

[wendybeth]

Mine was on automatically detect, so I switched it to always detect and now it seems to work.

[Not Afraid]

I just did the same thing. It is working.

[Kevy Baby]

All I had to do was go into User CP. As soon as I went there, it corrected things. Damn computers.

[mousepod]

If I could give you Mojo, I would. That's a fvckin' funny line!

The only reason we switch time zones is because of the other morons around the country who have to switch their clocks.

Having lived both with and without it, I'll stay here in AZ, thanks.

[AllyOops!]

Last night, when I clicked on the DirecTv Guide, I couldn't figure out for the life of me why every single movie listed on the Guide seemed to run a minimum of 3 hours. Do I expect this of Titanic? Yes. Do I expect this of ABC late show rebroadcasts of sucktacular, Lifetime channel-quality movies with titles such as When Husbands Cheat? Uh, no.

After the movie I decided to watch (The Girl Next Door) ended, I looked up at my clock and saw it was 3 a.m. I nearly fell off of the couch to see the DirecTv guide disagreed. However, Mommie Dearest was beginning and all bets were off. I never miss a chance to view that.

When I finally rested my head on the pillow, the sun was rising. Thank God for little satin sleep masks (aren't those swanky?)

Wake me when it's time to "fall back". ;)

Actually when I woke up today and thought about everyone else who lost an hour of sleep....I was happy! :evil:


Weird we are...but I'll take it!

Yeah, you folks in AZ are the lucky ones!

I'll be missing my precious hour all week long. Of course, I would make such great use of it if I could have it back...:rolleyes:

I usually just strap duct tape over my eyes when I need to sleep during the day.

Not swanky.
