It's that time of year, folks...

1. Daylight Saving Time begins in the US tomorrow (Sunday) at 2:00am. Be sure to set your clocks ahead 1 hour before you go to sleep...unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii, or part of Indiana.

UK/Europe: you go DST at the end of the month.
Southern hemisphere: you should come off of DST.
For the specifics, go here: http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/

2. This is a good chance to check that your e-mail address on your account is current. You'd be surprised how many accounts I had come up in the last several weeks as having bouncing addresses.

You may think it's not a problem now because you can still log in...but what happens when you forget your password? :)

3. This is also a good time to test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and change their batteries out. In fact, check the actual unit itself: if it's more than a few years old, you may want to consider replacing it with a new one since they do break down. If you do anything on this list, this better be it!!!

Thanks Minki. I believe this is the first year where I'm looking forward to springing forward! I need Spring to get here as fast as possible.. for my sanity. :D

I hate Daylight f&#@*$G (f&#@*$G) Savings Time !!! :b**ch:

[Goldie]

I totally stinkin' forgot!! Even after reading this before bed last night. :lol: .. Now I'm sitting here waiting for my son to get out of the shower so I can get in so we won't be late for church.

I believe we will be late for church!! :goldie:

[Peanut]

We don't change ours for a couple of weeks yet :p

I'm behind you on this bruvva. I live in central Indiana and we didn't start falling and springing until about 3 years ago. Now it is always dark when I get up and ready for work - Anything that makes going to work more difficult is in my book of BLAH - Bull...(that I) Loathe And Hate. :curse5:

[Goldie]

So Bionic Grainger, how do you REALLY feel? :goldie:

Blame Mitch for stirring up that hornet nest. :roll:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I never understood the whole point of it beside to piss people off.

[sonosun]

It gets you up earlier to be able to plant and plow and use all of the available Daylight. Supposedly now there is energy savings in there too. :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Oh well that worth all the hassle isn't it ? :roll:

I hate these time changes too :yes: They used to scare me a lot when I was a kid, don't ask me why... now they just annoy me. Maybe it's to make people aware of how many clocks they have... :shrug:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:lol: Thank God that most my clocks change themselves these days.

[Sienna]

:lol: Thank God that most my clocks change themselves these days.

We only have one of those and it didn't change itself until five PM. :? :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Better late than never. I think my clocks actually changed at 2AM except the one on stove. I got freaked out when I went for coffee and I thought I lost an hour somewhere. :lol:

[minki]

The thing I hate about the time change is that it takes me a week to adjust, and I'm usually a zombie the first two days.

[Bionic Grainger]

I've been a zombie since 1995 - you get use to it.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:lol:

[sonosun]

Minki I forgot to tell you something way back when you first posted about DST. All of Arizona doesn't stand pat at the changes. The Navajo Nation goes with the changes. :lol:

[offthefloor]

When I was in high school I loved it because the people always forgot to change the clocks and move them forward so it always made the last days seem to go faster because I always knew it was an hour later than those clocks said it was :lol:
