What will you do with your extra hour?

I really wish there wasn't daylight savings... it makes it harder to take off enough time to go hunting after work.
To: WIMom
Thanks for the reminder, as I would have ended up at church an hour early...but Waffle House would have tasted pretty good.

The National Fire Protection Association says, "Change your clocks, change your BATTERIES"... in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors!

Dang, I just hate it when the picture shows in preview and doesn't come through in post. It's a picture of Benjamin Franklin.

That's what my ex used to say too. Also, you have to get up earlier on the weekends too.

What about TV? go to www.tvguide.com. There is no provision for this. Are they just going to replay everything that is on at 1:00?

I never thought of that. They probably fill it with infomercials or psychic hotlines. LOL!

Regain the sleep I gave up last spring, is what I'll do with my hour. I despise the daylight savings scenario, personally. Which states don't have it, again? Arizona and Indiana?
will everyone's individual time settings change here on FR?

"Extra Hour Of Sleep Tonight!" This title is really misleading. It should read "Extra Hour Of Bombing Tonight!" ;)

I will use my extra hour to surf Free Republic and will drink one extra beer tonight before going to bed. Maybe I will even stay up late and watch Saturday Night Live. Well...maybe I won't go that far.

Your, "Member Since," date will be backed up one hour...you'll automatically be labled a, "Newbie," by those posting in the previous hour, and by posters in states that don't subscribe to the concept...

Here's ol' Ben.
p.s. Even when a picture shows up on preview I always hit "refresh" once to make sure it doesn't go bye-bye.
To: WIMom
Very interesting! Thank you for this post.
One question though: what is meant by this?
When questioned as to why he didn't simply get up an hour earlier, Willett replied with typical British humor, "What?"
Now I'm as big a fan of Brit humor as anyone this side of the pond (addicted to Monty Python, 'Allo 'allo, and Whose Line is it Anyway). But this one escapes me.

"

I'll be either freepin' or sleepin'. :^)
To: WIMom
What will you do with your extra hour?I'll be at work - and I get to work that extra hour - and re-set the clocks on the mainframe computers...
To: WIMom
'Sleep'? What's that?
To: americalost
I despise the daylight savings scenario, personally. Which states don't have it, again? Arizona and Indiana?I know for sure that Indiana doesn't -- I live there. And quite honestly, I'm glad we don't.
Although, it does get irritating missing things going on over the internet that are set to EST, since half the year we correspond to Central Time, and the other half the year, to Eastern Time.
Better than having to set my clock an hour earlier or later every two seasons, I suppose.
