Lose an hour of sleep tonight. Oh well.

My dad just called me on the phone to remind me to put my clock ahead one hour!

Family Ties Forever! · 03-13-2011, 11:53 AM

I set my alarm clock an hour ahead a few minutes ago. The computer is already at the correct time. I need to set my talking watch to the correct time.

Jenny,

A "talking watch" is one that tells you what time it is via audio, or is that just one option?

Retro4Life · 03-13-2011, 03:39 PM

Yeah I worked yesterday and go in tomorrow too so I REALLY didn't need to lose one hour this weekend. I wish they'd let me go in late to make up for it!

catlover79 · 03-13-2011, 09:17 PM

My computer, alarm clock and cell phone all change the time automatically, so I didn't have to worry about that. I definitely did feel the difference - because I nodded off in church this morning a bit during the sermon.

Thank goodness my mother was next to me to poke me (she doesn't usually come to the late service, so it's a good thing she was there)!!

The talking watch I have has a regular watch face with numbers and hands. There's also a button that when pressed tells you the time. I can't see what the watch says, so I use the talking button feature.

Neat, thanks for the explanation!

my computer and cell phone also change to the correct time automatticly, so the only things I had to adjust were my watch, clock radio, and our microwave.

catlover79 · 03-15-2011, 01:29 PM

Yes, I just had to change the microwave clock and the clock on our stove.

MrCleveland · 03-15-2011, 02:14 PM

My cell phone, cable box, and conmputer sprung ahead.

I really like it when DST starts...it means spring is coming. (But we have to wait for April Blizzard to make it official)!

OH Nuts! · 03-15-2011, 03:16 PM

Well, the mechanical things have all changed. Now just have to get my body, too. It takes me about a week to get used to that less hour.

In Cleveland, oh yes!! That's a tradition to have it snow on Easter!!

I always feel sorry for the little ones in the Easter egg hunts, when they have to wear their little mittens and heavy jackets/coats. That's not how it should be!

catlover79 · 03-15-2011, 08:57 PM

Yeah, we're used to it. Hey, we have to bundle them up on Halloween, too!!
