Sheesh.  Daylight Savings Time totally messed me up today.  I couldn't figure out why the "new" posts that kept showing up on JD were an hour old.  Then I remembered that last night was the day that most people set their clocks ahead - we don't touch 'em in Saskatchewan.  But it sure messes things up in relation to everyone else.  >:(   ;)

For the moment at least, I still don't have to play around with my clocks twice a year. ;)

I still don't understand why we do it. Certain states don't but most do.  ???

You'd be confused if someone was yanking on your udders at a different time of the morning too.   :P

While I enjoy getting the extra hour of sleep, I sorta dislike how it gets dark early now. It just turned 5:00, and the sun is already halfway down! It's crazy, I tells ya.

If any of you have a verizon wireless phone, did yu notice that the time didn't change on it until sometime this afternoon?

A friend of mine noticed it and askd me if my phone was off as well.  Good thing I don't use the alarm clock on it.

I have a Verizon phone and it didn't update the time until I got my first call this AM (around 9AM).  After that, it was fine.   ;)

Didn't change right away for me, either.

This year ****** me up.  I completely forgot about DST.  The baby woke up at 6am, so I change him, feed him and put him back to bed.  I'm thinking, sweet, he's sleeping through the night again.  Watch a little TV in bed and figure I'll let the wife sleep a little.  Make a pot of coffee and go down stairs to finish the movie I didn't finish the night before.  The clock on the cable box, which changes on it's own, says 6:43.  What the hell?  I've been up almost two hours and here the clock says I've only been up 43 minutes.  Then it hit me.  Daylight savings time.  So much for that extra hour of sleep.
