Hello all, so when do you change your clocks if you do? Our summer will end this Saturday night. It is hard to say goodbye to summer and hello to winter. Are there some countries that do not change clocks and have the same time all year round?

I forgot all about the turning back of the clock. It's a good thing you mentioned it.

@HazySue So there are parts of the U.S that do not change when we do and parts that do? I always thought that all the States in the United States changed the same time?

@HazySue You have t o check Susan to see if you change when we do here in Israel or if you do it before or after us. Susan, I wrote in my diary that your birthday is coming up and I will not be on the computer the day it is so want to wish you a Happy Birthday now, I wanted to put a card here for you but it will not go and did down size it. Can you give me your e-mail in a private message so can send you one there. Thanks

I wish we didn't change our clocks. We don't change our clocks until the first weekend in November. I could see the point of it back in the days of the war, when we had to conserve everything for the war effort. But now? An "extra hour of sunlight" so people can sit on their couch and watch TV while it's still light at 10 PM? Nah.

@Metsrock69 So they know when to change for now and to change back? That is cool. How did you do that so they automatically know when to change them themselves?

@Metsrock69 It does make a difference because you have to change the time and then you may be off. Do you change yours where you are Saturday night? This is when we change ours here in Israel.

Here in Malaysia, we have the same time all year round. I didn't know about the daylight saving until I went to Australia. One of my friends was taking a flight on the day the clock has to be changed and she didn't know about the daylight saving, so she missed the flight. We knew about it as we saw the notice but I didn't really know what it was about until my other friends told me so.

I haven’t experienced changing clocks. The Philippines has the same time all throughout the year as far as I’m aware. Is this what they call daylight savings?
