In case you didn’t know, it’s time to change the clocks again. “Spring forward” one hour at 2 a.m.
YAY!
I don’t have to worry about it, as we don’t play your little time-changing game, but I am looking forward to it. It means that some of my favorite shows, like The Colbert Report,* The Soup*, and* Intervention* will come on an hour earlier. Yay!
Yay?
Yay???
YAY ???
A great many words of exclamation come to mind with this news. ‘Yay’ is NOT one of them.
We never change our clocks. It’s hard keeping up these days, though, with the time changes in the US. The dates seem to keep moving.
I hate all this ‘change the clocks’ business… I have so many freaking clocks in my house- Gah!
It’s not spring yet. The snow now covers the bottom half of my kitchen window. I don’t wanna do it.
:: pout ::
My sister called me a couple of hours ago asking what time it was. Because apparently, I’m the official clock as well as the official dictionary. sigh
This is odd. It’s not 2am yet anywhere in the US. It’s 12:07pm Sunday here in Thailand. I have the post times set to my local time. But for the past hour or so, every new post shows an hour ahead of me. This must have someting to do with the time change. 
EDIT: Yes, including THIS post. It showed 1:08pm when I posted it. Does the Board automatically figure I’ve pushed my clocks forward? We don’t, and this has never happened before.
An hour here, an hour there; what’s the difference between a few friends? Time is such an arbitrary construct, don’t you think?
I’m Siam Sam, not Hong Kong Harry. 
Here in Europe, we don’t change the clocks until 02.00 on the 30th of March.
Confusing, or what? A few years ago, I arrived in Memphis on the day before the clocks changed but nobody thought to tell me. For two days I wondered why I kept missing things - breakfast at the hotel, the start of the service in Rev Al Green’s church [just as well: despite arriving an hour late, I still had to endure three hours of it…]
Why doesn’t it happen on the same day throughout the world? (give or take the International Date Line and those sensible places that leave the time alone)
Hate the time shift! Pick a time and stick with it.
But I’ve taken care of almost all my clocks now.
Small bonus for me, as the powahs that be gave us an extra hour this morning to deliver our routes. The downside to that is that I got done with work at 8:00 this morning, when I normally get done at 7:00. At least the clocks changed while I was at work and not before, otherwise I probably would have forgotten and stumbled in an hour late.
Because of the recent change in the date when DST comes into effect, not only did I have to change the time on my VCR, I’ll have to change it again in a few weeks (it changes the time automatically based on the old DST rules)! Mutter, mutter, mutter…
Testing.
EDIT: Now the time is back in sync. I suspected that once the US went through the time change, posting time would show correct again. It’s almost as if the server assumed everyone in the world would push their clocks forward. Weird.
I was sooo hoping that this thread would be in the Pit.
My opinions regarding DST can not be expressed in anything approaching civilized language. :mad:

Winter forward!
Well, it’s now a superbly-beautiful winter afternoon here in Toronto, with a pale-blue sky above brilliant white snow. The sunlight is warm on my face and coat, even. I’m kind of okay with it now. 
Our “cool” season ended abruptly a few days ago. We have no spring as a transition from “cold” to hot, or rather from hot to hotter. It can feel almost pleasant from about November to maybe mid-February, then BAM! Scorching again. We seem to have returned to scorching, although later in than usual.
Why not get rid of it altogether? We should NEVER change the time. There is no real reason to do so in our modern age.
