Just a reminder for most the folks who live in the USA, daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 11. That means your clock will move a head an hour. At 2 am (or whenever you choose to do it) change your clocks to read 3 am.

I am kinda sad that I lose the hour in the middle the weekend rather than in the middle of a work day :p
Actually I worked all last night and all day today so complaining is futile.

I really don't mind the time change, it is so much easier in the spring than in the fall, I have a lot of clocks, (not because I am concerned about what time it is), I just like clocks, None of the older ones have a reverse so in the fall I have to move them forward 11 or 23 hours, I do have a couple that change themselves but when they were manufactured the time change was always at the same time each season, now they keep changing the date of the changing, so those clocks are either off time for a while or they must be reset twice.

I love it in the summer when it doesn't get dark until 8:30pm. I HATE it when it gets dark at 5pm in the winter...

Sounds like quite the chore. I only rely on my cell phone and laptop for the correct time. The family's alarm clock is always atleast 15 mins fast, last summer we had it up to an hour and a half fast. :D As for the stove and microwave, those only get changed when somebody gets tired of looking at them and seeing the wrong time. That means normally it will be Josh at some point. Thing is, we have so many power flickers here, that they only stay on time for maybe a month if your lucky. ;)
