For those of you in States that observe this, it's time to "Spring Forward". :D

On Sunday, March 9 (the second Sunday in March) at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time begins in the United States. This is the second year that Daylight Saving Time is four weeks longer due to the passage of the Energy Policy Act in 2005. The Act, which extends Daylight Saving Time by four weeks from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, is expected to save 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reduced use of power by businesses during daylight hours.

I'll have to be sure to sleep in to make up that hour. :rolleyes: :p :D

There's always a person or two who walks into the church service just as it is ending...the baffled looks are priceless.

One hour less sleep *sulk* :D

I could always call you and wake you up :) Unfortunately, I'll be awake all night (hopefully, anyway, since I'm working)

I thought that i had woke at 9:24, in reality, i had woke at 10:24. Forgot to set my clocks back last night, and the 2 things that reminded me was that my computers was 1 hour ahead and this thread :).

I really hate daylight savings time. I think it's so silly.
