Time change

SilverSpoon · 03-11-2007, 08:00 AM

Are we supposed to change our clocks today? I've been sitting here for a couple of hours and I just realized my computer time is an hour ahead of my regular clock.

For those who do the time change, I mean. Do you know why my world has been turned upside down?

Everybody was suppose to set their clocks ahead 1hr on Saturday night before going to bed.

Yea this sucks...I didn't realize it was this weekend until last night some girl at the bar mentioned it.

Are we in north American the only ones doing this spring forward crap?

So you Brits will do it too?....When?

**eliza'snumber1fan** · 03-11-2007, 09:46 AM

We all need to get on the same page here...but then again I think we used to do the same day as you guys, then switched this year.

Benjamin Franklin proposed it, some say as a joke.

Yeah, I think we're a few weeks early this year.

edawg99 · 03-11-2007, 12:45 PM

Well it's going to be like this all the time now.

**MSFixR** · 03-11-2007, 02:20 PM

If they keep adding more and more days to daylight savings, we'll have daylight savings time all year long!

**open32** · 03-11-2007, 02:40 PM

Ya, they moved it up 3 weeks earlier this year. Next year there suppose to move it up another 3 weeks.

Today its done purely for economic reasons, they want people to stop at walmart after work and play golf longer on the weekends. Statistics prove that more people do more in the daylight rather then just go home when its dark.

Even though I hate losing my hour of sleep, I do like it. On tuesdays at 5:30pm, in the middle of rush hour, I drive the highway about 40 miles to be somewhere at 7:15. When its light out its easy to tell there is a lot less traffic congestion, its saves almost 30 minutes.

I do like getting home with the sun still out

I'd like them to roll it back an hour every Saturday...I could use the extra hour of sleep.

Welll I am just really upset and not happy at all right now, peeved really.Missy made me miss my brother's funeral and I loved him. I loved him so much and he was the best. The best acrobat I've ever seen, but he took too many risks, and he fell and he died. There was a funeral for him today but don't ask me about that because I wasn't there. I don't know about the songs being sung or poems being read or even if the food was good or not. I was at home in my pajamas, playing with my lizards. My mom is never going to forgive me for missing my brother's funeral. She called me and I could hear her furious spit projecting into the receiver as she demanded an explanation. I said something about cybering a random messenger from Australia and daylight savings time but she was not happy hearing that and called me very inappropriate names and made fun of my long arms.

I am so viscerally excited for more light. I have been having these really intense, lucid, waking dream sort of experiences since summer.

My clocks update themselves automatically, all digital. The one in the living receives a radio signal that comes from a place where an atomic clock is located.
