No. I don't set my clocks back until today because there is no place I have to be at any special time. So I looked at the clock and asked Shane why he wasn't watching the Today Show? Duh! It was an hour too early.
I did the ones in the bedroom (more than one since I have three alarm times set, two on the plugin clock and one on a travel clock. I only activate the one I am going to use on any given day.) The one in the dining room I leave on daylight all year long, since standard is now much shorter than daylight, and mentally subtract. It's too hard to reach to change if it can be avoided. I'll get around to the kitchen appliances and the car eventually – and I don't wear watches any more since retiring. The computers set themselves. And that is surely more than you wanted to know.
I finally did when I was watching early news. Took me a while cause I need a new clock!! It is a (semi-working) electric one. You touch the buttons to change the alarm or time and the numbers disappear!
Now to today’s Ellipsoid Orb Worship! May the tall men hit their heads on the doorway and knock themselves dingy!! All hail The Great Peyton!!
I remembered, not that it makes much difference in my schedule right now. My computer and cell phone changed automatically. I just have to change the car clock which I'll do next time I drive somewhere. I haven't been out of the house for a week other than to the doctor's on Thursday afternoon.
When I lived in BC's Peace country (north east BC near the Alberta border), we stayed on standard time all year. The trouble came in remembering who was on what time . . . most of the rest of BC changed to daylight savings (what a misnomer) in the spring so from that point until the change back in the fall, we were at odds with BC. The rest of the year, we were at odds with Alberta. It drove me crazy at times.
Daylight Savings Time is something we could quite easily do without and should. We set our clocks back or forward as the year progresses because of why?? Because it benefits who, exactly? There may have been a time when it made sense, but that time has long passed. I would much rather adjust my daily routine, if necessary, according to the natural lengthening or shortening of daylight hours. OK, that's my curmudgeonly comment for the day.
Thanks aall. I remembered, My computer, cell phone and alarm clock that I love to sleep through are all automatic. I had to reset my watch and microwave by hand.
I frully agree with dave. Unless we can fall back twice a year for az few extra ZZZZs, I'd rather scrap it.
I reset my clocks yesterday evening and the computer is set up to run manually, not auto. Now that I am retired, I no longer need to worry about being on time for the noc shift at the hospital. Hah! It took us 30 minutes to change all clocks on the unit + a ladder. Spring ahead was a short shift and had to get everything done in 7 hours. Fall back made for a long shift, 9 hours. We also had to worry about who was staying overtime if someone forgot the time change. It will take a few weeks for my body to adjust to the time change. Since I no longer wear a watch, I just “feel” the time within 10 minutes of the actual time.

Yes I did–yet for some reason the time on my cell phone didn't automatically change this year leading to doublechecks.
Cell corrected itself when I went out and it switched cell towers.

No, actually I didn't, T.C. But hey, we were well over a month into DST before I set my clocks ahead, so I figure I've still got time.
Rats! Another Smiley MIA. Sigh!

I changed my clocks, but not my watch. I hate time change.

We changed our clocks a week ago, and Australia a few weeks before that as they start summer time!
