How many clocks in your household will you have to turn forward tonight?

[dixiegrrrrl]

Counting puters and microwaves, etc.

I just realized we have an ungodly number of clocks and it takes us almost a half hour to wander around and re-set them 2x year.
11, counting the car.

[LAGC]

1. Oh shit, is that tonight already?

Stupid daylight savings time, who needs it anyway?

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. None...unless I want to.

;) Only 3.

[leftstreet]

3. Aren't they supposed to go forward?

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. YES!!!!!! hoooboy..

(corrected)
would have been hell to have do it twice.
Altho Mr. d HAS been known to argue about it halfway thru the process.

[SharonAnn]

24. 11 plus check 7 computer, 2 cell phones, etc., etc.

[Ptah]

4. Zero.

Arizona!

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. Oh wow..I forgot about your state.

Does that cause any problems for anyone there???

[Ptah]

58. The only problem I've noticed, if you could call TV schedule changes a problem,

are networks that carry sports shift Sunday morning talk shows.

Right now, 4pm (MST) KOLD(CBS) is airing Bob Schieffer's Face The Nation.

Usually aired at 9:30 am.

[Junkdrawer]

5. Spring FORWARD...(you lose an hour of sleep)....

Wishful thinking....

[regnaD kciN]

6. Answer: None -- you need to set them forward instead...

;-)

[davidinalameda]

13. and we have a winner

:toast:

[Lisa0825]

7. None... they update automatically, nt

[LiberalAndProud]

8. None, because I didn't set them last fall.

We've been subtracting an hour for the last 4 months. Hope I get used to reading the time again.

[elleng]

9. NONE! SPRING FORWARD!

[Skip_In_Boulder]

10. Just One (Spring Forward)

I'm trying to work on my Type A personality issues.

[Curmudgeoness]

11. I thought five, then remembered watch, and you mentioned the car.

So, I guess 7.

[blaze]

12. Hmmmmm

Let's see....

The tv, via dish, will update automatically
same with my computer...

So that leaves:

Microwave
alarm clock
watch
car clock
coffee pot
3 misc clocks

So I guess I have eight clocks to reset.

[david13]

14. All of them. Because the reset mechanism is on the back. dc

[Tx4obama]

15. Four. Microwave, stove, alarm clock, car clock. Computer & TVs are automatic. n/t

[rocktivity]

16. Not back, ahead.

If you don't "spring forward," you'll "fall behind."

:headbang:
rocktivity

[catabryna]

20. Good catch! nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. That may explain why it is only 4 pm in our house ( Central time.)

LOL

[catabryna]

17. Three...

I don't have to worry about the fourth... the batteries ran out months ago.

Edited to Add: I'm a dunce....


:dunce:

[dixiegrrrrl]

53. Setting the sun dial, now THERE's a chore!

:evilgrin:

[nonconformist]

22. Let's see....

Car
Microwave
2 wall clocks
my watch

My TVs (DirecTV) computer and phone will update automatically, and my alarm clock is synced to my phone (iPhone iHome dock)

That should be it, I think.

I hate springing forward. I miss that hour for weeks.

[Brigid]

23. Seven.

It's a pain.

[ejpoeta]

25. i'll do it tomorrow after i realize my phone is different than my

wall clock.

[northoftheborder]

26. Two, microwave & stove. Computer & phone change automatically.

Sorry, I accidentally hit "unrecommend" - did not mean to.

[quiller4]

33. 4 to reset-6 will reset automatically

Computer, furnace, phones and tv reset themselves. Will have to reset microwave, two watches and oven.

[Solly Mack]

27. None of them.

[underpants]

28. I think it is 8 - I basically lose the hour in the fall setting clocks back

We have one here in the den that has to be taken off the wall.


Oh and watches.....I am a bit of a time freak.

[1monster]

29. Four. Of the other time keepers, one is never right anymore; one is an atomic clock and

it will reset itself sometime btween the real two a.m. and daylight; two are computers and they will reset themselves; three are cell phones that will reset automatically. The bedroom alarm clock, the microwave oven clock and three watches will need to be manually reset. As for the clocks on the VCR and the DVD players -- you can set those clocks? :evilgrin:

[ellenfl]

30. just my car and my watches.

all my home clocks are atomic and my cable boxes and computers are set to automatic.

ellen fl

[ChazII]

31. No clocks

will have to be changed since I live in AZ.

[Shagbark Hickory]

32. It usually takes me a week or so to figure that one out.

The clocks on the phones are already moved forward. Thanks to Vonage I guess.

[FreeState]

34. 3 in the house - two cars (spring ahead) n/t

[hobbit709]

35. Only two

My alarm and the microwave. The clock on the stove quit working. The one on the wall I never changed so now it will be right again. The computers take care of themselves.

[former9thward]

36. None. I live in Arizona. We don't participate.

Which I'm happy about.

[ManiacJoe]

37. 16 seems about right.

That includes 3 watches and the car and two digital cameras. One clock and two computers self update.

[dixiegrrrrl]

50. Digital camera????

I had no idea my camera even had a clock. Have never set it, actually have no idea of how to find it.

[femmocrat]

38. Too many to count if you include wrist watches!

It's going to take awhile!

[mrmpa]

39. 10 & that's in a 2 bedroom home-that's crazy/that's clocks 5 & 5 watches

[dixiegrrrrl]

51. Not so crazy. We have 4 puters. For 2 people.

Makes me shake my head at times.

[Spirochete]

40. 4 or 5, I guess

One of them will be right for the first time in 6 months. I didn't bother to change it last time...
Computers change themselves.

[old mark]

41. 4 wrist watches of mine, one of my wife's, 3 dedicated clocks, the car, the stove and the microwave

ao altogether, 11...The TV and the computers take care of themselves.
It will take me at least 5 tries to re-set the damn micorwave clock.


mark

[gkhouston]

42. Six, including the cars. The puters do themselves. n/t

[Lyric]

43. Stove, microwave, and the mantel clock--3.

The computer and phones will set themselves. We use our phones as alarm clocks.

[StarryNite]

44. None...Arizona

Another Zonie chiming in here.

[Iggo]

45. 4.

Microwave oven digital
Regular oven digital
Large battery operated standard wall clock (the kids call it a "circle clock", the little darlings.)
Bedside digital alarm clock

Screw the coffeemaker clock. That one's never right anyway, so what's the point?

[defendandprotect]

46. Forgot about it -- !! Thanks!!

[Luminous Animal]

47. 2

The alarm clock and the stove clock. We don't have a microwave and we don't have a car and we never bother with the CD player. The computers set themselves.

[fishwax]

48. just two (plus the car)

the other clocks will all switch automatically :)

[Heidi]

49. Zero. (nt)

[dixiegrrrrl]

52. Does it drive you nutz to have to keep up with our time changes????

[Heidi]

54. Nah, I'm American.

I'm used to US time zones and changes. It's converting them to GMT/UTC+1 that makes my brain explode. Fortunately, I'm not above cheating: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

:rofl:

[Swede]

55. zero

We don't do daylight savings in my timezone.

[Codeine]

56. Counting the stove, car, and microwave

along with the regular clocks that's six. The phones and computers handle themselves.

I also have to adjust several clocks at work, as well as the computers and registers which - for whatever reason - do not update themselves properly or reliably despite being online.

[Nailzberg]

57. Microwave clock and AM/FM alarm clock.

That Alarm Clock is my secondary, I always set the alarm on my phone for 5 minutes before the clock alarm goes off. And the phone updated just fine.
