Yeah, and it's after 5:00 here on the southeastern seaboard. Had breakfast
for dinner last night: eggs, sausage and yellow grits. Guess I'll be
having "dinner" for breakfast

Jill,

A couple things I forgive is changing the microwave and the VCR timers.

I'm OK with letting them read 00:00 year after year or after power
outages!

It's a curse have to reset such simple things, imho.

Yes, I'm happy it is here. I've been saving Daylight for the past couple of
years and we're going to use it on vacation next winter.

My bedroom's clock/alarm/radio has the automatic change feature. Too bad I
bought it the year before congress changed the dates. Now, four times per
year I get to change adjust my clock for daylight savings time. I love
progress 8-)

Those involve standing on a chair to reach them and were changed this
morning.

Yeah, I got tired of that crap. For our clocks, you can turn off that
feature where they set themselves. That's what we've done. The
computers are smart enough, but only if your software is current (the
dates are hard coded into the software, believe it or not).

I thought my cell phone would set itself, but I had to turn it off and
on before it changed.

I HATE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!!!

itsjoannotjoann,

I still have to spring the kitchen wall clock ahead.

It's a cheap-o battery operated clock that I never look at. What, between
the cell phone and the wristwatch?!

The only reason I even change the battery is to hear the soothing tick
tock sound it makes. Let's me know at least SOMETHING'S alive and
kickin'.

Best,

Andy

Dan,

It's Daylight Saving Time.

Best,

Andy

I'm reminded of a cheap-o atomic wristwatch I bought about 10 years ago.
The idea that it would automatically (or on demand) satellite acquire the
correct time from the atomic clock somewhere in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
to anywhere on earth that I was, appealed to me....

....for about a week!!!

After which, I became neurotic, wondering if I was a micro-second late for
something. I actually threw it away. I almost gave it to a homeless bum in
town but thought better of it. He couldn't be bothered, talking to
invisible demons, etc.

What happens if you don't change the time on your cell phone? Does it
not ring until an hour later?


> I HATE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!!!

It makes little difference to me, but I don't understand the suggestion
that it saves energy. Instead of using lights at night people have to
turn on more lights in the morning.

I thought I could rely on the electronic program guide
to tell me what time it is, but I got confused about
what time it was because every channel had it wrong
until after noon, when one channel fixed their clock.
PBS still has it wrong, and it's after 1 PM.

Once the day gets longer, we use less power for lights in the AM and turn
them on even later in the evening. Overall, little real difference. The
only thing I like about DST is that it shifts the daylight hours to later in
the day when we can be outside to enjoy them more. If I was on the opposite
end of the time zone, it would not matter. Of course, that depends on your
daily schedule anyway as many have different work hours.

I'm saving the daylight to use during a winter vacation. It will be hand
for that.

I can't be bothered doing the research, but the way I remember it, it
had more to do with energy conservation.

The U.S. Congress changed the date of transition because
of lobbying by an association of barbeque-related manufacturers.

And to think this all started during World War 1 (or was it WW 2?) to
conserve coal!!

Geez, I just reset my car's clock two months ago - whaddaya WANT?
One of these days I WILL write up a handy-dandy how-to card for the
glove box instead of having to pore over the owner's manual twice a
year. The time on a phone I own is an equal pain - at least I noted
on the manual's cover which page had the instructions.
Used to be so easy with just a wall clock and a watch.
