I think GoofyMom's DH just did that, right?

for the reminder, EJ!! We're hardwired, but we're keeping an eye on my parents' house - we should probably run over there and change the batteries for them.

Hmmm....I wonder if he licked the old ones or the new ones?

I love that it's going to be lighter later now!

Our batteries were just changed 2 weeks ago by the property managers, so we have pretty new ones.

However . . . I think I need to change the batteries on a couple of my clocks in the house when I change them. haha

Yes:

don't forget to change the clocks.

Otherwise you will be late for your golf date, church or whatever appointment you made for Sunday morning

I love the extra hour of sleep in the fall, can't stand losing one in the spring!

Yep, we had to change ours last week because they were beeping. Normally we do change them when we change our clocks but for some reason they died early this year.

He actually licked both!

He licked the old ones because they were still laying on the desk waiting to be put in the recycling container he has for old batteries and he wanted to make sure they were the dead ones (even though I told them they were). He licked them and got a jolt, so he decided to lick a new one fresh out of the package to compare because he didn't think the "dead" ones were very dead. He found out that although the old ones had a little juice left, the new ones are a lot stronger....

My smoke detector started beeping Friday night but of course I forgot to get a new battery when I went to the store today. I did remember to turn ahead my clocks last night so I haven't been off all day

We are too, but they have battery backup, so they need to be changed at some point. The way my luck runs, they start chirping at 0300!

If you have a Carbon Monoxide detector, those need sensors or batteries replaced from time to time, too.
