CLOCK REMINDER: SPRING FORWARD

30 March 2004 | PetroniDE

[PetroniDE]

Just a FRiendly Reminder. This weekend, we turn our clock one hour ahead to take advantage of Daylight Savings time.

Those of you in Arizona, Hawaii, and most of Indiana, never mind.

[PetroniDE]

For democrats in FloriDUH, when the little hand is on the "2", and the big hand is on the "12", it is dark outside, and you think it is still Saturday, that is when you take the little hand and move it to "3".

[guitfiddlist]

...and for all anti-war clowns, please remember to set your clocks back 35 years.

[Always Right]

Of course, in Indiana, home of three different ways to set clocks, most of us don't worry about moving our clocks...

[MarkeyD]

How about Idaho. It's my first spring here? OK to just do it now, so I won't forget?

[SheLion]

Thank you!

[Howlin]

And this is a good weekend to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

[BibChr]

Well, that sucks.

If Kerry were to promise legislation that we set our clocks BACK twice a year... well, I might have to reconsider.

Thanks for that reminder! :-)

[savedbygrace]

Arizona isn't on DST either.

[ArrogantBustard]

Effin' Kerry loves daylight savings time. It allows him to set his clock forward, but then set it back, every year.

[CaptRon]

Good. All my clocks will be right again.

[savedbygrace]

Man, I need a reading comprehesion class. I read right over the word Arizona in your post. Sorry.

[Constitution Day]

Thanks. I will do that since I have CO detectors as well.

[E Rocc]

Always a fun night for bar employees when the drunks find out they have to stop a half hour early. :ugh:

LOL

In 1986 President Reagan changed Daylight Saving Time from the last Sunday in April to the first Sunday in April. Just another of the many, many reasons to love him. I love the extra hour of sunlight in the evening.

[CedarDave]

If you're in far western Idaho, it doesn't get dark until after 10 p.m. in summer. Of course, in winter it doesn't get light until just before 8 a.m.

(This from one who has been there at both times of the year!)

"Effin' Kerry loves daylight savings time. It allows him to set his clock forward, but then set it back, every year."

As well as giving him an opportunity to remind everyone that he is, in fact, a Vietnam veteran.

[mewzilla]

For democrats in FloriDUH...

Hee hee. And thanks for the reminder :)

[CedarDave]

LOL. New tag line for me for the next week:

[Conservative4Ever]

Very funny.....loved it. In my house every, and I mean every clock as well as my wristwatch is atomic. Does this mean they will detonate when the little hand is on the "2" and the big hand is on the "12"? If it is dark outside when this happens...this means I will be sleeping.

[Conservative4Ever]

Even broken clocks are right twice a day. :)

[CedarDave]

Sent that to Hannity or Rush for them to use. Still laughing!

[PetroniDE]

Shhhh... On most analog clocks, you CAN'T turn the hour hand. You have to complete one revolution clock-wise of the minute hand to advance the time one hour.

By the time the dummies figure it out, it will be past election day (and time to reverse the process).

[Petronski]

And this is a good weekend to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Also, some of the more stuffy, uptight people
on this forum should also take this opportunity
to change the batteries in their sarcasmeter.

[CedarDave]

Whoops:
Sent = Send that to Hannity or Rush for them to use.

[PetroniDE]

While I agree with the start of DST, I would prefer that it end at the beginning of October rather than the current end of October.

Sunrise starts getting late (around 6:45am) when October rolls in.

[NRA2BFree]

Just a FRiendly Reminder. This weekend, we turn our clock one hour ahead to take advantage of Daylight Savings time.

I set my clock yesterday in anticipation. I am so ready. ;-)

[Fiddlstix]

...and for all anti-war clowns, please remember to set your clocks back 35 years.

ROFLMAO!
Good One!
LOL

[txhurl]

They will, but then we'll be late (or early) as we'll still be subtracting or adding an hour to whatever the clocks say.

[Skooz]

So, not content with stealing a huge portion of my income via oppressive taxation, the state will now steal one hour of my time??? Hmmmmm???????

[CaptRon]

Right you are red. But in my case it works, I just never set them back.

Still, I'm better off than, say, Saudi Arabia where it's still the 7th century.

[TheBigB]

But what about Dingell-Norwood?

[Conservative4Ever]

Off topic..but in reference to your tag. I am nursing three newborn kitties abandoned by their momma. It is a full time job. Where I go, they go. Good thing I am the boss at work. Staff want to talk to me, and they might find me nursing. :) The kitties are soooo cute. Black as night. After the will to live this past week, they could be dubbed the Viking Kittens. However, when they listen to jazz in my office, they are the Hep Cats. :) I consider this the ultimate sacrifice...I'm not even a cat person.

You don't live in the South, do you? :0)

[Cobra64]

"Effin' Kerry loves daylight savings time. It allows him to set his clock forward, but then set it back, every year."

Wasn't Al Bore the guy who invented Daylight Savings Time?

[Conservative4Ever]

I just never set them back.

You are a better man than I am...I would get so confused.

Red

[Grig]

I refuse to turn it ahead one hour. I will turn it back 23 hours instead. :)

[PrivateIdaho]

How about Idaho. It's my first spring here?

Well, in Southern Idaho you are already one hour ahead of us in the North - so I don't think it is necessary ;-}

[dread78645]

As well as giving him an opportunity to remind everyone that he is, in fact, a Vietnam veteran.

Which side ?

[steveo]

This should be in breaking news.

[FourtySeven]

This should be in breaking news.

I'll be in the shower...keep me updated!

[rogercolleridge]

You don't live in the South, do you? :0)

I wish I did! Nope, I'm in Connecticut -- it's not bad, but we need all the Spring we can get.

[jigsaw]

For democrats in FloriDUH, when the little hand is on the "2".......

lol - You might be a Democrat if.......

[RightWingMama]

For democrats in FloriDUH, when the little hand is on the "2", and the big hand is on the "12", it is dark outside, and you think it is still Saturday, that is when you take the little hand and move it to "3".

Good instructions for those who live in Rio Linda, also. ;-)

[Constitution Day]

I'm not moving it there. I got in trouble last time I did that. ;)

[Revolting cat!]

You got it all wrong again! Jeez! Remember people:

Spring back, Fall forward!

[TC Rider]

And this is a good weekend to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

Also a good time to take those home defense weapons out to the range and blow off whatever ammo you've kept in them, and reload with fresh charges.

(I just made this up, but hey, sounds like more fun than changing batteries. Now I need to convince my wife, it's the law!)

[wattsmag2]

Prudent thought of the day.

[Triple Word Score]

Daylight savings time: the one day a broken clock can be right three times a day....


But only in the fall.
