Not here. The bars close at 1am--before DST ends. Nebraskans have a thing against morale-boosting activities if it isn't Husker football.

That is why I posted the reminder a few days ago, for the members to not forget the time change. :) Now here in Puerto Rico I am one hour behind Eastern Standard Time until March 11 2007 when Daylight Savings Time returns.

I do not have a problem with changing any of my clocks except for one, my antique Grandfather clock. It is a pain in the rear, not to mention the thing is way taller than i am. :lol:

If some of you do not know, there is a clock radio that stays on if you lose electricity. It automatically resets to the time. I did not have to change that one because it automatically adjusts to the time change. I bought it at Walmart for about 18 bucks.

We have 2 of those in this house. The computer also changes automatically, so there's not as much work to do. :lol:

Hmm, it seems all the clocks in my house reset themselves automatically. Even the analog clock in my living room. I didn't know analog clocks could do that.

But then again, the person that sold me my analog clock said it was perfect for lazy people (and that's not the main reason why I bought it :wink: ).

It's weird sitting here at the computer looking at the angle of the sun and looking down at the time in the corner of my screen. I'll feel out of whack for a couple of weeks with the time change.

Yeah... my dad just had to remind me just now that the sun sets in less than 45 minutes.

:cry: :(

So depressing. I feel all weird today even though I slept the normal hours last night(yeah I stayed up through the 2nd 1am hour).

It must have someone living in it keeping the time correct. :wink:

I didn't change half my things with times on them from real time so no need to change them back. :lol:

Same here. I'm probably in the minority about liking the early dark. Then again, I also like the other time change because I like the longer daylight too. I guess by then I am not in the fall/winter mood anymore. :wink:

From now on it will be 4 less weeks of Standard Time as Daylight Savings time will start on the second sunday of March instead of the first sunday of April and it will go to the first sunday of November instead of the last sunday of October.

Yep. :D The shorter Standard Time is the better.

I was just outside soaking up the last few minutes of any sunlight. :(

I just found out what changed the time of my analog clock. It's the thing in my house called 'mom'. I guess she stood up early this morning and reset all the clocks.

I really liked the hour extra sleep. As a student, I think we should have more of these extra hours. :roll:
