Yes, we turn the clocks back Saturday night, October 29.
But they changed it for the future. Like you say, it will be a little later.
This is the info :
http://www.infoplease.com/spot/daylight1.html
At 2 a.m. on October 29, groggy Americans will turn their clocks back one hour, marking the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST).
The federal law that established "daylight time" in this country does not require any area to observe daylight saving time. But if a state chooses to observe DST, it must follow the starting and ending dates set by the law. From 1986 to 2006 this has been the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it will be observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to daylight saving time.
U.S. Daylight Saving Time Schedule :
2004: April 4 - October 31
2005: April 3 - October 30
2006: April 2 - October 29
New Federal Law In Effect :
2007: March 11 - Nov. 4
2008: March 9 - Nov. 2
2009: March 8 - Nov. 1
2010: March 14 - Nov. 7
2011: March 13 - Nov. 6
It's better than going in reverse!

Right now I have the grandson sleeping on the floor and I need to get dinner finished.
I know I had a strange event myself a few weeks ago. I woke up at 3:00 AM and I saw a strange figure at the edge of my bed, at first, it was kind of black but as I looked closer, it looked like my maternal grandmother and she was holding Pansy. Grandma passed on in 1997 and of course you know about Pansy. My grandmother always loved Pansy and always referred to her as "the cat with the tan stripe on her forehead." I said "hello and welcome" to them and when I went to touch them, they disappeared. I have other stories too.
I don't think it's server side--though what problems do you seem to be having?
This is true...
Not bad...
And some I didn't even know were dead until a day or two later. Those aren't fun.
I am finally reading through here tonight because I was really in pain last night and just saw your post.
I forgot to write about a few early dreams when I got the story together for Dolly to post.
Dreams can be a really cool way of getting used to it, so I am glad it isn't distressing to you. In time you will come to enjoy it like I do.
As for the first two dreams that stick to my memory...
The first was after my boyfriend died in a car accident and I dreamed he was in an elevator and there was someone else with him and he came to say "it wasn't my fault" and much later I told his mom and she seemed to understand. She had even dreamed of him at the foot of her bed and for a fleeting moment thought the police were wrong and they told the wrong family that their son had died, but after his dad looked throughout the entire house and couldn't find him, his mom accepted that it was a dream.
Then just a few weeks after my mom died, she came to me and she floated down from the right and had a beautiful flowing gown and she touched my stomach (I was about 15 or 16 weeks pregnant) and my son just started kicking and flipping around very furiously and I couldn't believe how strong his movement was so early on that I could feel.
Thanks for the FReepmail and I am only just starting to read through all of the posts.
It is hard to lose someone you love.
I spent years and years and years not being able to talk of some of it and refusing to talk much in general.
Between FR and a few great cyberfriends, I finally began speaking in general and not feeling afraid to talk. (Major psychological trauma as a toddler, need to speak and unable to get the words out...so I just refused to talk much if it was very emotional. The trauma was accidental and nobody meant to do such harm, just a very bright child putting too much together from a "simple" explanation.)
Please feelfree to FReepmail me any time you feel like talking.
I can't tell you how wonderful it is to hear your accounts. You're right - it's not an easy thing to talk about. I was blessed enough to grow up in a family that had these things happen all the time - some of my earliest memories are of my great grandmother telling us about her encounters with her "guardian angel". It was good to have an open family that had similar experiences. Even my disbelieving father reluctantly agrees that strange things happen from time to time!
One dream disturbed me greatly. I dreamt about a childhood neighbor. I dreamt that she was crying because "Joe" had died of sudden heart failure (Joe is the name of both her father and brother). I woke up very upset to the point that I almost asked my mother to check on her dad. Three days later my mother called to say they just found the brother dead in his apartment - he had a reaction to new medication and painkillers and had a heart attack (he was 34). That screwed me up for a long time. That was the only truly upsetting one.
It was about 3 months after we were married that I had that dream and I spent a full day upset and not sure if I should tell him or just suffer for 8 or 9 years. By the end of the day I remembered that he asked me long ago to tell him no matter what I saw, good or bad, so I told him and he insisted that in this case it was "just a dream" but I also know that it is not as horrific as being told you have 6 months from cancer or something.
That is a very long time for us to have lots of fun together and to enjoy life with my children and grandchild(ren).
That's pretty distressing. It took me a long time to assure myself that I couldn't have done anything with in the case of the neighbor. There was a lot of guilt.
I made one other judgement call on telling someone a dream once. A friend of a friend had been murdered and needless to say, it shook us all. A few weeks after the murder, my grandmother came to me in a dream and basically let me know that the murdered girl hadn't accepted that she was dead yet. Showed me people and objects associated with her that I couldn't verify. I decided to call my friend and tell her so she could verify the things in the dream - however it also required me to tell her that her friend hadn't "moved on" yet.
Thankfully I went to the psychic in Sedona about a year later. She actually touched on Danielle a bit. Again, bringing up things I couldn't verify. (I didn't know her). However, one of the first things she said was - "she knows now and is happy". My friend once again verified everything. I'm not sure why Danielle decided to get messages through me, as I never met her.
Many thanks. I wish you the best.
This is actually the most "open" or "candid" I have been with all of what I experienced and even now, there is a certain amount of privacy I need so that I can work through some aspects of the past ten years.
All you can do when you do get stuff is try to move with a clear heart and even the tough stuff will get ironed out.
It's the cool stuff that makes it fun.
My brother died in April of 2000 and on his birthday in November of 2000 I got a montage of visions that ranged from a family member being stationed much closer to me than where they had lived for the previous 10 years to the fact that the Diamondbacks would win the 2001 World Series. Things gradually happened as I had seen and even some stuff was still occuring in January of 2005 and on.
When I have gotten the globs of stuff all at once, I remembered things to varying degrees because I was still not used to knowing when I was seeing stuff and was actually thankful for the times when it was in night dreams instead of the day ones. I am to where now I know when it is happening when I am awake and have both day visions and night dreams that cover at least the next ten years in my professional life and about my husband, but I also have "seen" beyond that time when I am alone again and know that everything is for a reason.
What a wonderful story! I am sure you felt saddness, happiness, peace & confusion all wrapped together. Sometimes it is simplist to not try to figure all out but just look to these occurances as gifts
I know you are missing Pansy still & prolly will til you take your last breath
