Don't forget!! Set your clocks back ONE HOUR this weekend
Edited on Fri Apr-01-05 04:22 PM by underpants
Saturday morning at 3 AM*

*Residents of Arizona and two counties in Indiana (Tippecanoe and another one) adopt the time zone that you had before the last change in the fall.

Canadians do whatever it is that you do with your metric clocks if you all are doing that this year 'cause there is no hockey

Don't forget!! Check the batteries in your metal detector too (some people forget that)

Please keep this :kick: ed for fellow DU'ers.

11. NO the conservatives attached a rider to the Schiavo bill
we have to set clocks back an hour every weekend until we get back to 1953-there's a thread in GD about it.

Every time you make a mistake scream out something about God forsaking you and smack him in the forehead.

Good luck. Go gravity!

53. Does it have a "Time of Day" button?
If so hit that and then punch in the correct time (one hour back)

If not it should have a TIME and a TIME COOK button. Set the tiem with the TIME button usually having to hit it again (like a TIME OD DAY button mentioned above) to actually set it.

Good luck
