Yes, the time changed. Doesn't your computer show the correct time? Mine change automatically. My bedroom clock did too.

Yes we went back an hour last night :)

JoAnn posted about the time change last week, and I think there was another reminder. Sorry you missed it.

Somehow, you just passed this info over.

Good morning sunshine :)

Moni

Yep, time changed to DST. I change my clocks in the morning, so that I have an extra hour in the day.

I started making bread and rolls at 6:30 this morning.

You'd be aware if you watched any local or national news in the past few days. It was mentioned several times yesterday.

Caroline, I was feeling sense of uncertainty last night too, it had been a busy week, I don't think I had read our newspaper (not too unusual when DH gets to it first and has it all backwards and turned inside out)...I found myself checking online last night to be sure it was really the right night. You'd think if I'd heard someone say turn back your clocks before bed on Halloween, I'd have remembered that...We'd had company about three times during the day yesterday, I'd emailed back and forth with my mother and brother, no one mentioned Daylight Savings Time to me either.

We are not in Daylight Saving Time now, it just ended.

Arkansas_girl, thanks. I get those mixed up - whether we're in ST or DT (as in PST or PDT). And yes, I saw several references over the past week to changing our clocks this weekend. I'm going to miss that hour of sunlight.

I just let my clocks stay the same until someone else changes them, ha, ha. It is too hard on my shoulders and arms to be moving clocks off the wall and hanging them. I just look at my cell phone or computer.

Arkansas Girl, yes, I made a mistake, I meant Eastern Standard Time, which is what ours is called.

I love my computer; I love my iPod Touch even more. I usually remember to carry my cell phone but I have steadfastly refused to sink into a completely digital world. I'll be the last girl standing in the analog line! LOL

I name two days a week as "Internet Free." We turn off the TV/Radio/Phones for all meals and when there is company in the house.

I am normally more on the ball, and usually the time change will come up in conversation during the days leading up to it. I've been extra busy this week and not on the computer as much as usual. I've been watching DVDs instead of network television. The world slipped by me.

I've already marked my 2016 (paper) calendar so hopefully this won't happen again.

It totally threw me off when the cell phone showed one time and everything else said something different. I trusted the "clocks" instead of the iPod and phone!

I will turn 60 in February. I have a funny feeling the fun is just beginning! LOL

I have now re-set the...

bedroom alarm clock
sewing room's little cockoo clock
powder room night light/clock
microwave clock
telephone clock
kitchen wall clock
coffee pot clock
digital timer clock
stove-top clock
and my wrist watch.

I managed to mess up the settings on the Atomic weather clock when I recently changed the batteries. I do love that little bit of technology. Once I get that straightened out it should change its self in the Spring!

That just leaves the car's dashboard clock.

I have too many clocks!

You have reminded me that I too, have an abundance of clocks. Fortunately, DH is the 'type A" guy that changes them all.

I have 20 clocks including an 1730 tall case clock. Our local and national news said it at every broadcast last week. Thankfully some like the iPhone go back themselves. Wish they all did.

Usually there is a little more space between return to Standard Time and Halloween, and that may be why there wasn't as much reminding as usual - because Halloween was the focus. For many years it was the Sunday before Halloween, and now it's the Sunday after.

Evidently, people don't notice calendars and date books either, because they also indicate the end of Daylight Saving Time. I was inundated with ads in my e-mail box using it as a reason to "save" during the time change on products; and on the radio - talk shows used the time change as a topic of discussion - as they always do.

And as a little pet peeve, it's Saving, not Savings. Savings are money you put in the bank savings account. Daylight (at the end of the day so you can get more work done before it gets dark) is what you are saving during Daylight Saving Time.

We set our clocks backward/forward (depending on what time of the year it is) on Friday evening before the semi-annual event. This gives us the whole weekend to adapt. By Monday morning - we are back on track.

And before that, it was the second week in October!

Last night, late, I was watching an hour TV show on the DVR and doing a puzzle. The show started at 1:17. I started falling asleep, so put the puzzle aside and watched the end of the show. The DVR said it was 1:33. Half asleep, it weirded me out! Then I remember the time change. :) Most of my devices change themselves, nowadays.

Ok, so what are we in now? If California, are we in PST or PDT?

PST

It's so DARK!

Did you know there are people who think that by changing the hands on their clock they can control the amount of light and dark in the world. Yup. I know one. Can not explain it in a way that she understands that the moon and sun don't have a clue what time it is. They're in their own "little" world. Asking if she set her clock ahead 12 hours could she swap day and night just led to a whole 'nuther conversation!

I don't have magical thoughts about clocks. Just noting that at 5:00 p.m. it was nearly dark out today.

Though another issue is due to the tilt of the earth. From a bit before the autumnal equinox to a bit after the winter solstice, the quality of the darkness, at least around here, is darker (by perception, at least--I haven't measured absolute) than it is the rest of the year.

Changed the home office clock, bedroom clock, microwave clock and my watch..still have to change the stove clock and the family room clock...the computer and phone changed themselves.

the time change happens twice a year, every year. It's not a surprise. I am also 59 years old, and that's enough time to learn to anticipate it. I always look it up in advance so I'm prepared, especially since they changed the schedule in the last few years. Pretty darn easy to do if you have a computer, and you do. Most of us use our cell phones which automatically show the correct time. It's hardly worth mentioning any more.

With respect to the OP, I fail to see the logic in your statement:

"I love my computer; I love my iPod Touch even more. I usually remember
to carry my cell phone but I have steadfastly refused to sink into a
completely digital world."

I fail to see the difference here. If you are on the computer a lot, participating in fora, etc., I don't see a material difference in using your cell phone to connect to the wider world and be informed about the things to need to. You seem proud of yourself that you are two days internet free and don't always carry your cell phone. Although I do see some value in that, you are basically shooting yourself in the foot with that attitude these days.

Heard about at least every day last week, in forums and facebook, but most importantly it is on my paper calendar!

I really didn't have much of an excuse for not turning all my clocks back before I went to sleep on Saturday evening -- although I have had a cold and sore throat, and I have been falling asleep watching "Doc Martin" reruns on Netflix in the guest room (THAT clock I did change!). And, I saw the "fall back" reminder on the front page of my newspaper the day before. But I totally blew it this morning -- I looked at the kitchen clock, which had the wrong time. I gave myself a good 40 minutes to get to my appointment at the eye doctor, then -- when I was nearly there -- realized I hadn't touched my car clock, either. I was a full hour early. Ended up driving around, popping into the grocery store for something to eat and drink. It did teach me something, tho: Not a lot of places are open at 9 a.m. -- not even my library! (Plus, I'm a night owl -- getting up early is just not my thing!)

If you were running a Windows operating system on your computer and it was on-line or connected on-line sometime after midnight on Saturday night, it will automatically change its screen display clock by one hour.

Historical note: An early version of Windows had a time-change glitch. I think is was about version 3.0. It changed the display clock at midnight. If the computer was on at midnight, it set the clock back one hour and if the computer remained in use for another hour, midnight again would appear and the clock would be reset again. This would continue until the computer was shut down. The hazard was time stamps on files created during this period. Some applications were programmed to keep the newer versions of a file and delete the older version. Auto-save in word processors was a common feature. If a file was made just before the time change, then the next file would be made maybe 10 minutes later would have the setback date and appear as an older file. When the auto-save kicked in, it would toss out the new file and revert to the older file. The user would be staring at his work wondering what happened to the changes he had just made.
