    A reminder to all living in Europe that you change your clocks this Saturday night/Sunday morning. You gain that hour you lost in the spring :)

    i like this, i like the shorter days and longer nights, darkness and cold weather are good things (although it's less great when the inside of my house is colder than the outside due to the boiler being kaput, but that will be fixed tomorrow :D )

    Gaining the hour is the only good thing about it. I hate coming out of work when its dark.

    Re: Time Change This Weekend

    I so failed :lol: I had to be at one place around 10am, I was really tired night before so I just set the alarm at 8:30 and of course phone didn't change time on its own and I got up and sat in front of comp and saw 7:54 :lol: :lol: I said a certain 4-letter word :lol:

    My friend called at 8 and ask what time it really is (erm...she was rather drunk and she suppose to be at the same place than me at the same time :lol: )

    Yes people it's that time of year, again, for those of us living in North America. This Saturday night or Sunday morning you need to set your clocks back one hour. We get that hours sleep back we lost in the spring. Now if someone could let our cats know this then life would be perfect on Sunday :lol:

    I've never changed my clocks for DST. I'm in one of those areas that doesn't "do" that whole thing. So... no hassle for me! Woo hoo!

    Fall back :p

    Whoever came up with that is a genius! :D :lol: I love this time of the year, now that we get two weeks instead of two hours more with our European friends as they're an hour closer to us!:D

    Good thing I saw this I completly forgot about the time change, I would have gotten up on Monday an hour early for Chem I would have been ticked. Nobody around to remind me so I will just do it on Saturday otherwise I will be completly screwed up time wise. I always feel off this time of the year anyway already though even before the time change :p

    Why do you wait a whole week to change the time on your clocks?

    On sunday morning (for a couple days ago..), I totally forgot to change it. Even forgot which day it was, as I was shocked when I saw the time when I used the computer as it showed another time than my cell phone (which I use as alarm clock, so I can get up in the mornings).

    My one computer is so old that it's on European time! It changed last weekend. :lol: At least that's one less thing to check this sunday Morning.

    Here in lies the big problem. Cats always tell time by their stomachs. Thomas will sit in the living room and cry until someone fixes his food. :lol:
