Not for me.  I don't set my clock back until I get to work.

The Halloweenies might be out late. We haven't had even one trick-or-treater for at least 6 years.

Tis the digital age.  All my timepieces automatically reset for DST, except my coffee pot. Had to hit one button to bring the time to DST. Oh yea I also had to turn my cell phone off and back on to rest time.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Same here.

I waited until I woke up this morning to adjust my clock backward.  That way, I got to enjoy the extra hour and not simply sleep through it.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

My computer, game consoles and such all change themselves and I can't be bothered to change the wall clocks. Actually I don't need to change the wall clocks as they're now correct again.

That's how we do it every DST.  :)  Otherwise it looks like I am being a loser and going to bed an hour earlier than usual on a Saturday night.

You aren't gaining an hour. Rather you are recapturing the hour lost at "spring ahead".  :tongue:
