Love the clock, Ron.

So you Yanks changed last weekend? We don't change until March 27th.

All the clocks in my house are radio clocks so when the clocks change twice a year, mine do it themselves.

Most of mine are digital clocks, but the one on my living room wall has the traditional hands. Every now and then it adjusts itself, which means the hands suddenly start whirring around. Makes me jump every time. ;D

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I never change any off the time thingees as they are accurate somewhere in the world. Plus it annoys friends who still work

So, 10:10?  Could be 11:10, but looks more like 10 after 10.  But, how do we know whether it is a.m. or p.m.?  I like that there is still light out here around 8pm.  Louisville is on the very tail end of the Eastern Time Zone.  Around June 21st, there will still be light out around 9:45pm.  There was talk by some Congresspersons about just leaving it this way instead of falling back in the Fall.  I hate when we fall back and it is dark at 5pm.

I'm just about finished resetting all my time pieces. I have 32 of them to set. Even the two digital picture frames have frigging clocks in them. Although some of them are capable of doing it automatically I prefer to set them myself. They all have to be within a second or two of each other (just one of my quirks). The kicker is that I live in a three room apartment, kitchen, bathroom, living room.

tednlou...I would 10:10...probably after awhile you would be used to it and know what time it is....I used to have a watch that didn't have numbers but these itty bitty, teeny weeny ittle dots....but after awhile my mind just sort of filled in the numbers....


32 clocks Dale?  in virtually two rooms as the bathroom steam wouldn't be good for some of the working parts..

I thought I was bad...in my youth I would collect old clocks whether they ran or not...used to drive my ex crazy....We would be at the flea market or antique shop and I'd be clutching my latest prize and he'd be

"and just where are you going to put it?"....
