The first time is tonight!

It's a skill she's honed over years of myLotting.

@owlandbutterfly It is a nice fun. You had to read the full post to get the punch line. um... .... maybe it is deliberate since people tend to read the title and answer without looking up the complete post.

@Daljinder I'm sure it's deliberate. We've had many laughs at people who obviously didn't read the entire discussion over the years.

The US went back or forward? We call it 'Legal Time' which makes the mind boggle about what it's called when we go back again in the autumn

@pgntwo Interesting! Shame I can't rate it.

@mysdianait I meant forward, yes... [em]blush[/em

All of my clocks are high and I need to use a chair to reach them and, as I am afraid of falling, a friend comes and changes them for me. He did that yesterday so mine are all done too. I don't have to put the alarm tomorrow and hope I will wake up early enough to be able to go out for a walk if the weather id good.

For a moment I was so sad for you but then I realised that you have had your summer so it is appropriate that it is our turn now too

@marguicha A perfect solution! I prefer to stay at home during the winter. I don't like the cold at all and even less as I get older.

@mysdianait I agree. Still, I cannot bear the whole winter so I take a couple of weeks of vacations in the middle of it.

Oh really? There seem to be many refernedums there of late. Who do you think will wion this one? Here there are no kids playing outside at any time of the day or night. They seem to have vanished off the face of the earth, probably stuck behind the screens of some techinical device

@LadyDuck Ah that will be interesting to see what the people think this time. When is it to be held?

@mysdianait We already had one some years ago, the "NO change" won and that was the first time that the Swiss Government did not respect the vote of the people. If the NO change wins again they cannot ignore the will of the population.

Well today is the day after and mid-morning but I have no visible scars

@AbbyGreenhill Some things we never get used to no matter how many times we do them

@mysdianait After all these years 'doing it' I think we are used to it!

Now it is the morning after and I am not feeling any difference so far. Maybe I will be tireder by evening though.

@mysdianait .....Maybe so.

Gosh still snowing? Is that usual in March?

@1hopefulman Oh no I don't envy you one bit. Here we never had a lot of wnow all winter this year, which is not really good because now there will be a water shortage. I hope spring comes for you really soon!

@mysdianait Unfortunately yes! Sometimes we get snow even in April. This is a picture I took this morning.

@louievill Ah! But is half the world involved?

I am trying to think what that might be too. I have a terrible memory these days

@mysdianait and it comes with a " tonight's the first night"

In spring we put it forward one hour and then in autumn we go back one hour. Whether we really save any money by using less electricity is debateable though. I am not convinced that it serves any pirpose at all.

@changjiangzhibin89 Yes we are supposed to be saving energy but now the mornings are dark instead of the evevnings

@mysdianait Oh ,just go back one hour in autumn.The original intention was to save energy,but not every country adopts it.

A lot. I love clockes. I have two in the lounge, a big one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. Plus one on the balcony, mywristwatch and my smartphone. I panic when I don't know what time it is.

@sol_cee No I don't have one of those. Well not yet.

@mysdianait grandfather's clock?

The dark evenings get me down and I have to make a plan every autumn and be positive about them. After January when they start getting lighter I cheer up but when we move the clocks forward it feels like I've won the lottery (I think as I have never ever won one )

@Morleyhunt Yeah!

@mysdianait then you've won as many lotteries as I have. Maybe we should start a club.

I wonder what you thought it might have been

@JudyEv Extremely vaild justification and I will not insist and ask you again

@mysdianait I'm not saying in case I incriminate myself!

I don't get that. You live in the United States but it seems that everyoine does their own thing and you are not 'united' in very much at all So if someone living in the next state visits you, they have to change their time again?

@owlandbutterfly Great explanation but I must get the map out to understand it even better. Thank you though!

@mysdianait The time thing isn't that surprising because we're such a large country and have a bunch of different time zones anyway. It really depends on where they're traveling from. Arizona is currently the same time as the Pacific time zone, so someone coming from California or other states west of us wouldn't have an issue with changing clocks. A few weeks ago we were aligned with the Mountain time zone, like the states east of us. The only part of our state that doesn't stay the same is the Navajo reservation in the northeastern corner of the state, possibly because the reservation extends into parts of New Mexico and Utah. Politically, though... yeah, there's a lot more division these days. It's really polarized.

Not to wrry. You'll get it back in the autumn

Yes I never understand why we don't all do it together.

Oh yes! How does he manage to lose an hour I wonder. His feeds change time or what?

The worst day is the day after. Then it sinks i and we can start enjoying the longer days.

@rebelann Yes the actual hours of daylight son't change but after the change it will get dark later. I have problems to go out in the dark, so in winter I usually stay in, but in summer I can go for walks in the evenings too.

It'll be long days regardless of the time @mysdianait of course I don't have a schedule so I could care less about time changes, I never touch the clocks I have

Well, exciting is probably a little exagerated but it certainly is good to have longer days

@Shwetasingh Yes the shorter nights make it grat to go out after dinner in the evening abd wake up with the sun already shining abd the birds singling. When we have long nights during the winter it is very sad as I don't like going out in the dark.

@mysdianait and what about shorter night. I love longer nights.

Oh yes that sounds like it would suit you very well indeed. Welcome to myLot and I hope you will have fun here

@PopcornPop It is! Keeps us out of mischief and some pennies as a bonus too!

@mysdianait great to meet you!! Ta ! Super fun space to share ideas !
