i Started Changing The Clocks Now. 1 More Hour Of Sleep. Great!!

Or did you show up for Church an

Hour Early?

And how about those SMOKE DETECTORS?? >>>

While you're Changing Things ...

*CHANGE* the *BATTERY* in ALL
your SMOKE DETECTORS!!

And remember to *TEST* them with the Test Button, too!

Now how many of those Hidden Clocks & Timers did you forget?

A lot of "newer" appliances & timers will automatically adjust
for Daylight Saving Time ... but the older stuff needs your personal attention.

I've made THREE sweeps around the house - and I've prolly *missed* one or two!

Remember: All Those "Hidden Clocks" >>>

* the clock in the CAR
* clock in the Digital Camera
* in the Microwave
* on the Stove
* on the Water Softener
* in the TV
* in the VCR
* on the Outside Lights timer
* in the Answering Machine (3rd sweep found that one!)
* on your Pager (I'm doing it now)
* on your Cell Phone (it might auto-correct itself)
* on the Caller ID box (I'm holding out to see if it auto-corrects itself)
* the 'puter ought to be smart enough to change by itself
* Annnnnd - your Wrist Watch! (now ... WHERE are the Instructions!?)

OK ... I give up for now.
I *ALWAYS* miss at least one ... usually find it when Daylight Saving STARTS
in the spring!

And HAPPY Daylight Saving Time to all you Folks on the "Bottom Half"
of the ole Dirt Ball!

Cinder & Smoke that's a good list, thanks for the reminders!!

I was going to bump this thread for everyone but you've seemed to have beaten me to it!

Well I didn't get an extra hour of sleep, I woke up an hour earlier!

**Felix** · 10-30-2005, 07:12 AM

I had forgoten to change my clocks so I woke up thinking that it was 8:30 but it was really 7:30.

Thanks, Phred! I always miss one or two, although I was pleasantly surprised to find my new DVD/VCR changed the time itself.

And as for smoke alarms, I always tell myself I'm going to do it, but seem to forget. This time they reminded me by going off - they beep when the batteries get low. So all clocks, timers and now the smoke alarm are good to go. Loved the extra hour of sleep too.
