Did you put your clocks forward?

I know, I'm mostly a morning person who likes the sunlight early in the morning. Now, it's dark when I go out to exercise, and colder, too.

I changed my clocks on the daylight savings time when it came around on March 9. My daughter, who lives in Arizona, did the same and on Monday morning her husband was an hour early to an appointment b/c Arizona doesn't use DST. I live in Tennessee.

Lol, I was going to say, "Arizona doesn't change their clocks", but you already knew that. Well, at least her husband wasn't late.

I'm in Austin, Texas this weekend and was lucky enough to have clocks that changed forward an hour on their own. When I get home, I'll have to make sure I adjust my personal clocks though. My brother that lives in Phoenix, doesn't change his clocks ever. That seemed to be easier that way. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the constant time adjustments.

You're in Austin? Wow, I'll have to read all the latest on your blog, then. Do you have a lot of clocks at home? I know you probably won't have to change all your computer clocks. ;)

We each moved our alarm clocks of course. I changed the clock on the vcr, the microwave and the rest will come a little at a time. You know...when hubby can climb up and get the ones on the wall! LOL Oh yes...I actually did change the one on the computer too, by taking off the auto daylight savings time button and just resetting the clock.

You know, I forgot to change the clock on the microwave. I just got a new microwave and the old one didn't have a clock on it. My oven clock is totally broke and I can't change it.
Thanks

It's supposed to save energy by having less lights on later at night. But, there have been studies showing that it really doesn't work.

Yes we did change ours last night. I really hate that I lost that hour of sleep. I already felt like I needed a few more hours than that I would have gotten without a time change.

I actually don't feel the loss of an hour of sleep. But, I do notice it in the day when the time is later than it seems.

Yeah, I wondered if whole other countries followed this rule.

Thanks for the information.
I think I mentioned in the beginning of the discussion that this applied, mostly, to the U.S. or Canada. Other countries may have also changed their clocks. But, as I live on the U.S./Mexican border, I am aware that not all countries do this.

yes, I did. but actually, I only had to change the clock in my car, and my own alarm clock. all of the other electronic clocks change time automatically. I didn't realize it, but the one wind up clock hasn't been working for a while, so I didn't bother with that one!

I didn't think I would be able to change the clock in my car because I was having problems with it. I was actually planning to buy a separate clock. But, I was able to change it and I'm fine now.
Thanks.

It is a little strange that we're doing this so early this year, but I got all mine done too. Not many change themselves yet either. :)

Three of my clocks changed themselves. The rest I had to do manually. I noticed that my cell phone clock wasn't updated. But, I think that will change later on today.
