One analog clock, two digital clocks, the one on the microwave-

So that's 4 or 5.

How many clocks do you have to reset this weekend? Weren't we asked this just a couple of days ago? Let me count again........ I'll have to reset four clocks and two watched. The clocks are in my living room, bathroom, and two in the kitchen - stove and microwave. The clock on my nightstand will change automatically, as will the clocks on my electronics. Oh, and I'll need to reset the clock in my car as well.
When do you normally reset them, Saturday or Sunday? I'll get around to it sometime on Sunday. The important clocks will change automatically, so I won't have to worry about waking up at the right time in the morning.
Have you ever forgotten to reset your clocks, either forward or back 1 hour? I put it off sometimes, but I've never forgotten. Tell us more if you wish.
Bonus Question: When you think of the following items on the list below, what's the first thing that comes to mind about them? - Gold? Some of the fancy buildings I saw in Europe while on vacation. - Silver? The silver cross I'm wearing. - Sports Car? No thoughts on this. - Festival? The Jenever gin festival I attended in Hasselt, Belgium two weeks ago today. - Sports Event? Monday night's Bears game. - Shovel? I'll soon have to get out my snow shovel for the season. - Fan? There's a fan a couple feet away from me. I need to put it away till next spring. - Checkbook? I balanced mine earlier today. - Closet? Mine could use a good cleaning-out. - Desk? I'm sitting at one right now.
Just For Fun: Those are actual foods, so I'll have ask your feelings about them: Yum, Yuck, or more? - Crispy Seaweed? Don't know; have never tried it. - King Prawn? Yum! - Prawn Crackers? Never heard of them. - Squid? Love it! Er, I mean, Yum! - Honey Spare Ribs? Yum, but I think I wouldn't like them as much as those with plain (not sweet) BBQ sauce. - Beef with Pineapple? Yuck. - Beef With Oyster Sauce? Yuck.
November 3rd Is: - Housewives Day That leaves me out. - Sandwich Day I'll take a corned beef on rye with horseradish, please. - Zero Tasking Day Sounds good to me!
Everyone enjoy a wonderful Sunday, and remember this weekend is the end of DST in the United States, so you're going to get an extra hour of sleep this weekend.. Yay! I can always use that. And since it's already almost 1 a.m. here, I'd better hit the sack.
