Tonight here in the U S of A we are told to set our clocks back one hour a 2:00 am. That sounds simple, but I get confused every Fall when I have to do the deed. At exactly 2:00am  I get up and set the clocks back one hour. With the twenty clocks including the microwave oven,  VCR and two TVs, it is almost an hour before I get done with the time changes. ::) Now is when I get confused. You see, it is 2 o'clock again. Am I supposed to set the clocks back an hour again. I try to obey the government and they say to set the clocks back at 2 am.  Does anyone have an answer to my dilemma. :P

Sure Furby, they have time cops. ;D   They do not have enough police to investigate thefts and such, but they have plenty to check if my seat belt is fastened and my clocks are set at the correct time. ::)

This  is one example of the wizzards that populate our government leadership rolls .  They actualy belive that if they force us to change our clocks one hour ahead in the spring that we will save daylight.  If that is the case why don't we save it year around  and never change the time on our clocks.  Or maybe we  should cut a couple of feet off the top of the blanket and sew it onto the bottom because our feet are sticking out.
Let them time cops bring it on we have ways too deal with them .

Are you with us Bob and you will never have to change your clock again.

There is a real easy solution to your problem and it comes from an old Chinese Proverb. "Man who has one watch always knows exactly what time it is, but man with two watches is never quite sure."

So what you should do is to reset just one clock and then pull the plugs or remove the battries from the rest. Should not take you more than a half hour and you can go back to bed.

Then in the morning, you will know "exactly" what time it is.

My problem with this time change is that I have a lot of work to do right now and I have been working from sunup to sundown. But now, what with one hour less time, I may not be able to get done. I sure wish they would just leave it the same as it was.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

     Change it before you go to bed that is what i do.







     Thanks alot Mr Mom

Well,  nobuddy bothered to tell me that it was time to change the clocks >:(  I been getting up at 5 AM to go milk for the past 25 years and when I woke up this morning the clock said 4:00.  I told my wife that clock's wrong-----she said it's 4:00,  go back to sleep.  I had to get up anyway and looked at the clock downstairs.  It said 5:00,  so I ate me some cornbread and milk while checking up on the forum..  Now it's 4:50 I discover and I've got 30 minutes before I have to go milk.  I guess I'll go back to bed but I'm not sleepy.  I'll ask my smart alec wife just what I'm supposed to do for 30 minutes till time to go ;)

When you change your clock, don't forget to change the batteries in your smoke detector. Spring or fall. If your smoke detector is more than 10 years old, replace it. We teach kid now to sleep with their bedroom door closed. The new building codes require a smoke detector in each sleeping room. The door is like a big guard standing there all night saying "I'll keep heat and smoke out of your room as long as I can." This would allow extra time to use your second escape route which may be a window.  :)

No time change in CR. Gets light and dark same time, year round. Maybe I can send Bob some correct time when I get back, and he can install it in all his "Time Machines".  ;D ;D

For a long time a good part of Indiana had it figured out.  We didn't mess with the clocks and all was well.  We even had our own little time slot on the menus for configuring computers.  Life was good.

Then came along some stoopid politician who just had to get us to be like the rest of the world . . .

And if that isn't bad enough the change in the fall next year won't be until November

and then, and then, my new handler at work decides that even though I get a lot more done working 5am to 1pm that he would prefer (actually demand) that I go back to an 8am to 5pm workday.  Coupled with this idiotic time change it means I can't get any work done in the woods except on the weekends, and then only if it has been dry and doesn't rain on the weekend.  :-\ :-[ :'(

I don't wear a watch and I wouldn't mind if all the clocks stopped working.  Just keep the sun on its appointed rounds and I will figure it out!

Don't tell the time cops, but my alarm clock did not wake me a 2 am last night. :-X When I got up this morning the sun was rising and it was only 7:10 . :o It has been rising about  8:10 am. I don't know what happened. The government has so much power these days it can cause the sun to rise earlier. :( At first I thought the wife had changed the clocks, but when I got on the computer it had the same time as the rest of the clocks.  I wonder if the sun is going to set at the usual time tonight. smiley_headscratch

They actually believe that if they force us to change our clocks one hour ahead in the spring that we will save daylight.  If that is the case why don't we save it year around  and never change the time on our clocks.

Along the same lines, if changing the clocks one hour saves an hour of daylight, why not change them 12 hours and save most of the daylight. That way OneWithWood could have daylight all day to work in his woods. 8)

Many years ago, last century infact, my missus used to be a head chef,  feeding the floor crew at a meat factory. Wendy had gone to bed and it was my responsibility to change the clocks. I reset the alarm and went to bed.
We awoke and because the missus couldn't drive at the time and her work was out of town, I drove her there. When we arrived, the security dude on the gate said "You're keen today aren't you?"  I  said "Why?  what time is it?"  I found out we had arrived 2 hours early.
What had happened, I inadvertently put the clocks back 1 hour instead of 1hr forward.  We had awoken at 3.30 instead of 5.30  ;D ::) ;D  The wife took the flack from her work colleages for weeks after. Sorry wife, I goofed  :-X  Every 'time change', I am reminded of this.
I usually have a use for most of the minutes in my life, but 120 of 'em going astray totally confuses a bloke  :D

My Granddad always said he wished the Government would leave the time alone. He figured that they had already cheated us out of about 16-18 hours already.

Here in FL, they say the change is partly so school kids won't be traveling to school in the dark. Funny, a school bus comes through my neighborhood at 5:30 AM to pick kids up. It's ALWAYS pitch dark here at 5:30 AM, DST or not. In the old days, they said it was so farmers could get the crops in, or something. Who cares what time it says on the clock? When its light enough to plow, or mow, or saw, you do it.

After reading these posts with all the skepticism and sarcasm expressed, I can't help thinking how sad that so many of us are mistrustful of and embittered toward our government and the powers that be. ;D  Sitting here reading the Sunday paper, which is the only major newspaper for 150 miles in any direction;  right on the front page it asks, "Did you remember to change your clocks? An extra hour of daylight today."  No way they'd lead me wrong! ::)

Years ago we were in a bar having a grand old time - Drank too much, etc - At 2:00 AM, closing time - It became 1:00 AM again - We tried to convince the owner to let us stay, but he threw us out anyway - I guess the sober bartender was tired of us having a good time -  :D

Mike, you and your buddies are probably the reason it doesn't change until 2 a.m. :D :D I was a little confused this morning. Alberta where I used to live is supposed to be changing the weekend for the switch and they turned their clocks back this weekend. I was not sure if we were supposed to do it here. I turned on the cell phone to check and the provider had turned the clock back two hours  :o Now I was really messed up. ;D

 Bro Noble, we always milked using standard time, FIL said the cows couldn't stand the time difference. Now I hear they're trying to milk when the cow wants  :o . They have the parlor open 24-7 an the cows come thru when they feel like it  >:( .

One family in our church is always noted for not arriving on time. But they did one fall when they forgot to change their clocks. The only day they were ever on time.

Nice thing about being retired, don`t need a watch, get up when I wakeup,
eta when I`m hungry, quit working when I want, go to sleep anytime

Pine Nut, wouldn't milking cows on demand aid them drying up?

I mean, even if they leave it an hour later each day to come in (so they come in after 25 hours on day one, 26 day two, etc) eventually, and in not too long, they'll cease milk production.

I'd have thought that was simple biology...

Am I correct???

I don't change mine either, Chet.  At home, shop, vehicles or none of 'em.   My wife will change some at the house.

It's all daylight to dark for me, anyhow.   ;D
