I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the clocks went FORWARD. Which means we all LOST an hour!

Personally, I think it should be daylight savings time all year round. I like it when the darkness comes later.

I never switched my clock ahead, so when I thought it was 3:00, it was really 4:00. Kinda messed my daily routine up a bit. But I got used to it. So the disadvantage of the lost hour is less sleep for me. :|

I put the clocks up last night right before bed.

Tonight, I'm going to the barn to provide moral support to my friend Julie, whose mare is due to foal any minute now. After dinner I'm going to whip together some brownies for us to munch on while we wait :)

Other reminder: <b>Have y'all changed your smoke detector batteries today?</b>

We changed ours a few weeks back. We heard one going off, replaced its battery, and replaced another, and another... I think the obsessive compulsive detective Adrian Monk from the Monk TV series must be fire chief of Pasadena, Texas, since our house has nine smoke detectors, including a smoke detector on both sides of most of our bedroom doors. I'm surprised every house doesn't have its own fire hydrant.

Daylight Savings Time has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. What's the point? Just keep it on one time and be done with it. Sheesh.

It doesn't particularly matter to me, or rather...it wouldn't, provided I didn't have to remember to set my clocks twice every damn year. I don't give a rat's a** about daylight. Bats are nocturnal.

:P

I so agree with you there :P What is the use of it? Why do we have to do that anyways? Just something else for us to worry about :roll:

It was orgignaly meant so that the factories can work later and they can still light out when they arrive. But yeah I hate it too, I feel so tired now. :yawn:

With the time change here where I am at, it stay daylight til about 8 pm. It sucks though because I had been so used to seeing it dark after 6 pm. Oh well.

Like I said, I'd rather they keep it one time all year round too...but, I'd want that time to be the time that it is during Daylight Savings. The night is cool and all, but I hate it when it starts getting dark at 5:30. When you get out of class at 3:00 or so, that doesn't leave much time to enjoy the sunshine.

Nope, and we don't bother wtih them.

We have a fireplace.

Every time we open the odor with a slightly smokey piece of wood, the damn thing would go off. So no alarm for us.

Ahhhmmmm...You want a smoke detector.
Take it from someone who's been in TWO house fires.
A house fire is hell on earth and you'll need every second you can get to escape and survive. My detector didn't work and I had maybe ten seconds to decide what I couldn't live without and get out before flashover engulfed the whole place.
You want one. Seriously. You <b>WANT</b> a smoke detector. Get your chimney cleaned, get a fireplace insert, and GET a smoke detector.

Something's very wrong with your fireplace then. Mine never sets the smoke detector off.


(My smoke detector is quite sensitive too, it'll trigger on half a year's worth of dust burning off of the heater coils, the smoke from that being pretty much invisible.)
