Daylight Savings Begins03-08-2007 4:07:32 pm
Don't forget to set your clocks forward this weekend. I love daylight savings. Its so nice to get off of work and still have a little bit of daylight to work with.

Did you know that when they first started daylight savings that some people did not like it so they refused to set their clocks ahead. How confusing would that be if some people went by daylight savings and others didn't.

It will be interesting to see what happens in 3 weeks when daylight savings really should take place. A lot of people will manually set the clocks on their vcr's, dvd players and computers only to reset them in 3 weeks when all those electronics set daylight savings on their own!!

It's just another one of those things that I don't think should be messed with. I'm confused enough without having to remember to move the clocks ahead this month. LOL!

Spring-Forward: As in springing forward...and lose that hour sleep.....


Fall-Back: As in falling backwards....and gaining that hour back

My Gramma never resets her clocks. Simply refuses to. We just started having to do that last year, but she says "I ain't changed my clocks in 80+ years, I ain't changing 'em now, just 'cause some man in Washington said so. He wants it changed, he can come do it himself"
You tell 'em Gramma. lol

And my hubby who is in systems will be on conference calls Sunday morning because PCs are not set up for daylight savings time this early. What a great plan! Leave it to the government to create more work for us.
