    Time change Tonight!! stay up 1 hour later---Officially, daylight-saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday.
    So, to be on time for your Sunday activities, don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour (as the saying goes: fall back) before going to bed tonight

    Time change.

    I have my alarm clock already set for 2:00 A.M. so I don't forget.

    I hate getting up that early twice a year just to turn my damn clocks back, they should change it to 9:00 p.m. or something.

    blah! what's with daylight savings anyway?
    I say let's meet in the middle... let's just call it 1634HR (per this post) and call it done! :p

    ... that way, we're either 30min late, or 30min early :D

    blah! I got mixed up between 24hr and 12hr format... haha.
    haha...In fact, I was thinking 1904 (7:04p), but wanted to subtract 30min to get 6:34p, but screwed up and did "1634"(ie. me being dyslexia and putting a '1' in front of 6:34p) instead of "1834HR", which is what i meant....

    darn me! ;)

    Didn't stay with my fatigues

    The airlines still run on 24 hour format and any digital clock I have is in that format.

    And actually ,(this is useless info) there are places in the world that are 1/2 hour off.

    A little late for this, but what I meant was.

    For every clock that doesn't automatically change itself at 2am, turn them back an hour at say 10pm, or whenever you go to bed. That way when you wake up all clocks will be ready for ya. Then you can :sifone: on time.

     
  17. I have someone that comes in and does my clocks or clock since I'm down to the cuckoo and stove all those wall clocks died years ago about the same time I quit wearing a watch and answering the phone.
