General question for everyone in here: Which countries have moved their clocks back one hour this past weekend? Is this U.S.-centric or what?
No we haven't - actually with John Howard's Government we're turning the clock back about 50 years, especially with education!! :roll:

Daylight saving time also ended in Holland this weekend. It gets dark really early now... yesterday the sun already seemed to be setting at 4 pm. :(

Isn't there something with Maine and daylight saving time, that Maine is/was in a different timezone than the rest of the country? Can't remember what it was exactly.

I don't know about Maine, but Arizona and most (but not all) of Indiana don't observe Daylight Saving Time. Strange.

Since the U.S. Congress decided to extend DST in 2007, I guess the rest of the countries observing will follow? This is my country's energy conservation plan? (Way to go, W!) :roll:

*pours a glass of Droe Rooi for SnakeLady*

BTW, is there an English translation for that name? I used a web translation engine for Dutch to English and it gave me "Droe dig up."

I didn't think energy conservation was the reason we have DST... from what I understood we have it because without DST the sun starts to rise in summer at 4 am and that that is thought to be much too early.

Droe dig up??? That sounds tasty... :shock: The literal translation would be 'Dry Red'. In Dutch it's called 'Droge Rode, or Droge Rooie'. :)

I despise Daylight Savings Time. Maine legislature has been spinning the idea of abolishing it and keeping us in Atlantic time. If it ends up on a future referrendum, I'm voting for it! Give me back my afternoon sunlight!!!!!

Bumblefoot weren't my cup of tea either... I had thought their music would be way different than what I heard them play last night. It all sounded very much like punkrock.


Now this is just wrong......Bumblefoot is a god......in the last 10 years the man has lifted the bar in terms of guitar playing and you say he sounds like punkrock....shame S-Dip....bad S-Dip :evil:

He is an acquired taste though :lol:

Jonny, timeshifts confuse me so I may be wrong, but when DST gets abolished it would get dark in the afternoon earlier, wouldn't it? The clock goes backward one hour so 8 pm would be called 7pm... :?

The only people I know who like Bumblefoot are guitar players. Funny that. :D

I'd like some sort of cocktail tonight. Something fruity. Maybe a Fruit Tingle.

Yep, you're right. It was a tough shift and so I wasn't thinking straight.

Still not feeling okay? :( Keep your back and neck warm and take many, many hot showers is all I can advise... and a massage might help too!

I've been very busy today with getting the new laundry dryer installed... I thought it would be no problem at all, but it turned out to be a sequence of troubles to get it connected. But I've persisted and it's finally working! :D
