I don't know what I'm going to do when my teenagers leave home. Sit on my porch and read books by sunlight. :)

LOL! You could just keep having more children, so that you'll always have teenagers in the house ...

Even my teens can't figure out how to reset the clock on the car radio; we just have to subtract an hour until it's Daylight Savings Time again.

LOL! I had a car like that. I got to be very good at subtracting hours during the winter months. Then, a neighbor, for absolutely no explainable reason, set it for standard time. Who asked him? I sure didn’t. But I was confused until DST came around again.

Had the same problem until we doped out that by pressing the volume button, a menu canme up on the display. When we got to "clock" we hit "Scan" to up the hours and "Seek" for the minutes. Dunno how we ever figured it out without the manual, but now it's old hat as it seems to work on many other car radios. Still, the companies' big problem is that they don't make this stuff intuitive any more.
