USA Members Don't Forget To Turn Those Clocks Back

WHAT "Extra Hour"????!!!!

So what did you do with that extra hour that "Fall Back" was supposed to save?

I still felt tired, (took a long nap after getting my daughter to school) no sun-up even at Seven, remaining dark and gloomy out until after Eight, and I didn't exactly throw a big party & let the neighbors over to celebrate Daylight Savings-Time that night, either...

--I just had the kid up as I came home from work enjoying her bed time being put off... So, really, time to rethink...

Ooh, forgot one ore thing:

I was told by my mom who was told by my grandpa to never turn an analog clock backwards, but couldn't stand to turn my few that I own, forward twenty-three times, so I hope it was okay...

We have a key wound mantel clock from Holland that chimes on the hour and half hour. The clock repair shop told us to never turn the hands backwards, but the instead lay the clock on its back for the amount of time that is needed to get the time set back. So I just set a timer for an hour after putting the clock on its back, and when hour is up, put the clock back on its feet and it begins to tick again. I also wind the clock once a week every Saturday morning at the same time, this also helps the clock remain accurate.

This clock has great sentimental value. My husband David bought it for his parents for their 25th wedding anniversary. He had to pay for it on layaway over almost a years time. When his Mom passed away the clock came to live with us. It is a real treasure, so we take very good care of it.
