Clocks Spring forward in US tonight
 
except in the places where they don't, of course....

Once again, I will note that I am not cool with clock changes, but will not piss into the wind.

tw 03-10-2013 03:28 PM

For the next three weeks, people who had clocks that automatically did that change are now looking at the wrong time. Congress made that change because Congressman made a decision equivalent to what Frazier and the Penn State directors did to Paterno. Made a conclusion based in Rush Limbaugh logic. New daylight saving times did nothing except create problem. Congressman just knew it was needed because their penis or vagina told them it was good.

The worst night of the year. No contest.

zzzzzzzz

Griff 03-10-2013 07:45 PM

Amen. Try not to crash your car tomorrow.

Apparently heart attacks increase after DST begins. And workplace injuries

There is no law that says you have to change your clock, or can't set it back an hour or two if you'd druther. :blunt:

Hmmm... who is retired in this thread?

The time change screws me up something fierce, for about two weeks. Last night I was up until the channel I was watching switched over to infomercials and I wasn't even close to tired. This morning my ass is dragging.

But all of my clocks are close to "correct," at least. I didn't miss any this iteration. And the one I missed last time, well, it's correct again now.

Fuggit ... I get to play a round of disc golf after work!

Imma do it more as I need the exercise.

ZenGum 03-11-2013 10:16 PM

You're in work? I must have missed that. Is it a good job, or just "something"?

wolf 03-11-2013 11:21 PM

One of my native friends posted ... only a white man can cut a foot off the bottom of a blanket, sew it onto the top and think the blanket is longer.

I keep picturing clocks jumping out at me from behind doors, or curtains, or springing out of a foxhole...saying BOO!

;)

monster 03-12-2013 07:51 AM

Alarming. That must really tick you off.

or perhaps you're just a little cuckoo, like my grandfather.

infinite monkey 03-12-2013 07:57 AM

You reminded me of this song!



(Bri would love this vid by the way...we were at the same Bay City Rollers concert way back in...ahem...I don't know, I was in 6th grade.)

Hey, guess what? :rolleyes:

This year, in most of the USA, international women's day is only 23 hours long.

Sundae 03-08-2015 11:02 AM

I had to look our clock change date up. I was surprised at how late it is in the year. Or at least how late it feels to me.

I kept thinking it was next weekend from right back in February. In fact it's not even next weekend now (29/03/15 if you were wondering).

tw 03-09-2015 12:31 AM

Since none of my clocks have springs, then I cannot spring forward.

sexobon 03-09-2015 02:07 AM

If they run on solar charged batteries, then you can still do daylight saving.

It's our turn (in the UK) to put the clocks forward an hour tonight.

I don't sleep well at the best of times and altering the clocks always makes matters a damned sight worse.

I become jet-lagged without even leaving the parish.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 02:50 PM.
