Tonight we Americans turn are clocks back an hour! The offical time to do it is 2am on Sunday. I uaually trun my clocks back an hour before I go to bed so I don't forget! I have forgotten in the past and didn't realized it until I was ready yo go to work! Luckily I remembered before embarressing myself!

I have also done the same (forgetting) hahaha
I live in an area where we haven't changed it for over 30 years, then they decided to do it...was such a mess. Then we go 20 miles to the nearest town and they stayed the same!!! It gets so confusing especially when you have appointments in different areas. I am still alittle disgusted with this situation. I always feel the government has other more "important" issues to deal with that this shouldn't even been a concern.
I better go set mine back now before I forget:))

Yeah its really great when the time changing happens on a sunday. However some people still use this as an excuse to be late on monday at work. The time is going backwards I think. How can you be late you should be early. For those who work on sunday just think of getting one hour sleep more. Happy lotting.

Oh yeah, my parents told me yesterday, and I almost forgot. It is Day time saving again. I should know about this. I guess my father already turn the clock back an hour. So, I have extra hour sleep for tonight.

hi here in Germany we had it one week ago and like you I also turned back the clocks before going to bed so I would not have to fret about it and forget on Sunday morning.


myLot reputation of 85/100. blue65packer (1895)   ranked 1,296 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

Did not know they had daylight savings over in germany! I learnt something new!


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (5093)   ranked 3 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

Hi book, did your weather take an even nastier turn too when the clocks went back this year? The sea is completely wild today and its taken over the whole beach already and expect by morning it will have taken over the road too. It's a lovely sight except for those who left their cars parked on one particular road where there has been the odd few washed out to sea when the sea turns like this. Brrrr. happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14873)   ranked 1,534 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

we also had two days now with more rain but otherwise the weather is okay here so far. Its dark when I leave home and dark again when I get home from work.....


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (5093)   ranked 3 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

Of course, I forgot you have a long commute. I'm just glad it is light in the mornings now especially as this foul weather means I'm driving to school every morning as its impossible for my son to walk through the mud lake outside.
The rabbit and I were just debating below you, wonder if you know which American president it was?

Hi bluespacker, I thought I'd already responded here, my mistake. As I thought I'd said the clocks here changed a week ago as indeed yours used to do until one of your presidents changed it so that America and the rest of the world were not on parr with clock times. What do you feel about your president doing that and do you think he just did it hoping the rest of the world would follow suit?


myLot reputation of 84/100. jb78000 (1928)   ranked 1,206 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

hijack...probably. or perhaps he just wanted the us to be special and different...


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (5093)   ranked 3 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

Hi jb, I thought it could be more easy to get a head start in a war if he was one hour ahead. happy


myLot reputation of 84/100. jb78000 (1928)   ranked 1,206 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

lolthis is very possible


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (5093)   ranked 3 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

It is indeed jb, or he could possibly have been attempting to put the rest of the world on American time and that was just the first step. Probably have all us Europeans going off to work in the middle of the night. And it would be so much more convenient not having to get Gordon out of bed to answer the telephone.


myLot reputation of 84/100. jb78000 (1928)   ranked 1,206 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

plausible. problem is both of those scenarios require planning ahead slightly. i'm guessing it is far more likely that he had an early appointment that week and just wanted some extra snooze time.


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (5093)   ranked 3 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

Could be. I actually can't remember which president it was who made the change, and I'd need an American opinion here on how it went down at the time. Suddenly to have the last Saturday in October to be uprooted from its position of an extra hour on the weekends, can't surely have gone down really quietly.


myLot reputation of 84/100. jb78000 (1928)   ranked 1,206 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

seems a very pointless thing to do really


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (5093)   ranked 3 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

But apparently they didn't do it everywhere. Very strange behaviour but Zeph blames it on the Bush.


myLot reputation of 84/100. jb78000 (1928)   ranked 1,206 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

sounds very possible that the shrubbery was responsible


myLot reputation of 97/100. thea09 (5093)   ranked 3 out of 38,607 in life  3 months ago

lolAh I see you've finished conducting tests on which has the highest IQ, a bush or a George Bush. Guess the bush scored higher.
