LauraGB Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Don't forget to set your clocks back tonight! I would have completely forgotten about it had I not glanced at the calendar just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 :001_smile: our clock change was last week! But I rarely remember on my own, just discover it when we turn up to church an hour early (or late if it's springtime.. as has happened more than once.. embarrassing! :blush: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yes, yes, yes! Bring it on! I'm so :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - I didn't know each country or area had a different daylight savings day. I love this place :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I wish we would stop switching. It messes everyone up! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Last Sunday our church bulletin said that Daylight Savings time was beginning on Nov. 7th. In light of that, do you think anyone that read it will "spring forward" tomorrow? Nah, I just thought it was funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I wish we would stop switching. It messes everyone up! :glare: :iagree: Hate it, hate it, hate it. I don't mind "fall back" apart from changing every clock and driving to work in the dark (I work in the evening). But I despise "springing forward". I would LOVE to do away with all the time changes.

kalanamak Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I wish we would stop switching. It messes everyone up! :glare: Yes, let's stay on DLS all year. :) I love watching the sunrise, and having a bit of sun after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathersage Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Yeah. :glare: Not one of Ben's better ideas. It wasn't one of Ben's ideas. I think he wrote satire mentioning it, though. It was actually one of George Vernon Hudson's ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 It was actually one of George Vernon Hudson's ideas. He only noticed it after Ben remarked on it. :D Anyway, who the hell is George Vernon Hudson?! :D The idea of daylight saving was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin (portrait at right) during his sojourn as an American delegate in Paris in 1784 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamee Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I'm so glad we live in a country that doesn't change. However, our main clock is automatic and switched last week. I almost didn't catch it and oh that would not have been good come Monday morning. It does keep us on our toes this time of year though, trying to figure out when the family back home changes times.

edithcrawley Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 We don't change time here. ;) We didn't used to do it here either until about 4 or 5 years ago when the governor decided that Indiana should join everybody else in the US (except AZ and HI) in changing the time zones. It is still messed up here because nearly everybody is on NY time, except for a few counties near Chicago and Louisville that are on Chicago time.

myfatherslily Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I would personally like to save daylight year round. Let's just spring ahead and stay there already!:) I know, I know, that's not realistic. I don't really care either way. I do like late summer nights and having to adjust to a new time twice a year (and hear people complain about how infinitely hard it is) does make life more interesting! I will NOT be relying on my calendar this year - it says DST ends a week from now! That's what I get for using a calendar put out by the county...

LND1218 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I love DST - I will miss it! But I love getting the extra hour of sleep when it ends. I hate missing the hour when it starts, but I am always glad when it beings. So either way I am happy and sad. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Don't have to! I live in the wild west state of Arizona, where we don't cotton to such notions. :tongue_smilie: :smilielol5: Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Ok - this is very embarrassing but I have a fever of 101 and just cannot think. Let's say it is 10 pm here (it will be soon) - what time do I set the clock for before I fall into bed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
