I think I may have finally reset my watch correctly.
It's one of those Timex Ironman watches with a whole bunch of setting buttons that are really hard to depress. Every time we switch back and forth from daylight saving time, either the day of the week screws up, or the day of the month, or the hour.

I see no real sense in changing your clocks twice a year and think it's a total waste of time, but then, I was raised in a place where they don't do it.

1. I don't wear a watch, so I don't have that problem.

2. I feel naked without one. Typical Pisces.
In fact, I'd almost say I check my wrist more when I'm out somewhere and I've forgotten to put my watch on after showering. I'm that obsessive about the time. Doesn't mean I'm obsessive about punctuality, though. I have to draw the line somewhere.

3. That's what I use my cell phone for.
It automatically updates for the time change, which is handy if you travel to Indiana or Arizona!

4. Or Hawaii -- or where I'm from, Saskatchewan.
Amazing, isn't it? Three of the four places that haven't found it necessary to institute daylight saving are noted for their sun. And then there's Indiana.

I'm trying to get through at least the first 50 years of my life without ever having had a cell phone or a credit card (mostly because everyone says I have to have one to get by, and I hate being told what to do). So far so good -- only 11 months to go.

My VDR automatically does the time change. Everything else I have to change manually.

7. Well yeah, Indiana is kind of odd when it comes to that.

My brother in indiana and his inlaws just can't agree on it.

Then again my sister is in Alaska, and the time zone just doesn't quite agree with anything!!

Ha-ha, that might be construed as a pun. :-)
