Silliness Friday's Question of the week 28 October 2011.....

GeoffC · 10-28-2011, 02:27 AM

As we (in the UK) approach the changing of the clock (back one hour at 2AM Sunday 30 October), the last rays of a Summer's Sun will fade.

Are you ready for Winter in your part of the World ....... ! (Southern Hemisphere members, are you ready for Summer !!!!)

Christmas is nigh ....

No, I'm not ready. No one is ever ready for -30C and a 40km/h wind.

The clocks went forward at the beginning of October here. I'm not looking forward to the fire season!

poohbear_nc · 10-28-2011, 08:25 AM

We're having our first taste of cold & rain today - the coldest day so far this fall season. And no - I'm never ready! Don't want to be ready! [*whine*]

We still have to move our clocks, though. I think it happens the first weekend in November for us.

I don't mind "Falling Back" its "Springing Forward" that I can't stand.

My new nap habit will fix it. I try to think of it as a "siesta" anstead of laziness.

Egad! You remembered! I gave folks permission to remind me when I started whining about the cold weather - how much I hated the hot weather!
[won't stop the whining though .....

[hmmm .... maybe I'll have to find a frozen chicken avatar now]

Our beautiful fall weather only lasted a week or so .... *sob*

Yep and Yep! The night you put the clocks forward, the time fairy steals an hour from under your pillow. Now in the spring, if you are really, really good the fairy puts it back and the gift you get is to sleep in an extra hour for one day.

That's supposed to make up for the sleep deprived couple of weeks you have when you moved them forward in the first place.

Grumble grumble grumble stupid fairy!!

Winter? Isn't that where it's supposed to be cold and the frozen-wet is more likely to fall? I don't think we get those here in Vegas.

vivaldirules · 10-28-2011, 11:48 AM

I usually don't mind the change so much except when I'm traveling, as I will very soon. Also when I'm trying to schedule teleconferences with people in multiple time zones each of which changes on different dates. This doggie likes stability. And long naps.
