I'm mad! I'm upset! I've had it! It seems @thesource has posted on EACH AND EVERY forum that I have to move my clocks up at 2 a.m. next Sunday morning! Says if I don't move them up at 2 a.m., I will be late for events later that day. Well, I protest!!! This is absurd! At 2 a.m., this old man is sound asleep! Between my mid-afternoon naps and a good night's sleep, it's all I can do to build up strength to play golf every day. Now, I'm being told I have to wake up at 2 a.m. just to change clocks? Why? Ever since DST was invented... forced on us... legislated... I move our clocks before going to bed on Saturday night. Evidently this practicing of sensibility is not in conformance with the rules of TRF! Well, I'll tell you this, Mr. TheSource! You ain't gonna get me up at 2 a.m. to change clocks. They will be changed the evening before. If'n you don't like it, ban me!!! Sheesh! Getting more difficult every day to tolerate these young folks placing demands on us  . Respect your elders, you young whippersnapper!!!!   |

Yep, I agree. I change our clocks the night before too. In each and every forum...a tad bit OTT?  |

my iPhone, my computer, and my atomic clocks do so automatically.... It's the stove clock that is the problem as well as the car clocks. One needs an engineering degree to figure those out. Do I need to get up at 2am to work on those?

Do I need to get up at 2am to work on those? I've actually given up on my car clock. Now I just remember that it is an hour fast. When the time changes next week it will be right again. |

I protest! I'm not setting my clock forward! At least not until March 28th when we do it in the UK.  |

I want to set mine back, and get that extra hour of sleep, Nkat Hey! What a fantastic idea! If we set them back and hour, instead of forward, we'll be two hours late for everything. All meetings will be long over by the time we get there. Won't have to put up with gossiping, griping, useless yacking. When the busybodies who we wanted to avoid anyway ask why we weren't there... "I mistakenly set my clock back an hour." Easy explanation for a planned strategy. Think I'll do just that!!!!  |

Oh I knew the time change was coming but I guess it's this coming weekend. I can remember just falling back not long ago, a big adjustment in my body's clock. And here we go again...I did NOT see the constant reminders here. The authorities that be have been discussing this issue for eons...all TALK.

Not answering for 2old but the first thing that came to my mind - is a bunch of men and farmers and having to do with cow milking.
