Forums General Chit-Chat Spring Ahead (Turn Your Clocks!)

It's that time again... time to mess with ... well, time! XD

If you're in an area that still does this silly (imo) ritual, it's time to turn your clocks ahead one hour. Emergency services also suggest that you check your smoke alarms, etc., as well.

Happy Spring.

@Totalanimefan: lol - oh, good luck with that snow thing! XD We had a storm front come through this morning... rain, of course... but it dropped temperatures noticeably and significantly in the hour or so that it was coming through. There's even a potential freeze warning in effect for tonight, with "Wind chills as low as 25 degrees expected." Ugh. But sunset here is already after 7pm. I feel for you, though - I remember those "4pm" sunsets and days when you never, ever, seem to see the sun. Your reprieve is on its way!!

@Anarchist Beauty: Yeah... I know the feeling. It's one reason why I think this whole "switch the clocks" thing is outdated and pointless - unless the goal is to screw everyone up for a couple of weeks, twice a year :/ Good luck :3

      @Wildfire: That's def the goal. Just to screw with people.
      I think it's kind of pointless, too.
      Like... No one wants it to be dark as midnight at 5:30.

@Totalanimefan: I have yet to check the garden - I didn't do anything to protect it other than to set up a windbreak around a couple of tropical plants and I put a towel over a cactus. I hope you're managing ok with the snow!!


@Anarchist Beauty: Yeah, at this point, I think it's just to mess with people too. They did try to not do it several years ago and unfortunately (or so the story goes) a kid at a bus stop got hit by a car (or something), so they decided to keep it in place. The real question though is "would the kid have been hit by a car regardless of the time change?"

I totally forgot.
Thank you for the reminder!

      @Wildfire: Yeah, time change doesn't account for bad driving.
      Not sure how they made that connection there.

@Koah: <3 Oh, you're welcome! The time change snuck up on me, so I figured somebody else would probably benefit from a reminder, so happy to help! :3


@Anarchist Beauty: Exactly... and yeah... I don't know how they got that conclusion either.


@Totalanimefan: Oh - congrats on getting through the storm. I hope you didn't have to go out in it!!
Eh... it's hard to tell how I'm feeling with the time change so far. Yesterday I spent the day on the couch, I didn't sleep well last night, and I had to get up extra early this morning (complicated by the time change), so I'm all kinds of sleep-weird right now. I should be fine in another day or two. How are you adjusting to the time change?

      @Wildfire: Saw a video where a dude said ice fishing would lead to prostitution, so clearly people just be connecting random crap together now.
      Like lego blocks with titles on em.
      Just reach your hand in, grab two, and connect em in anyway you can. lmao
