How many clocks do you have and are they all set at the correct time??

[Kitty 34]

We have 7 clocks around the house but I think only three (my sons and DH's) is set at REAL time.

My alarm clock and kitchen clock are set 10 minutes fast in order to get everyone out of here on time in the morning!!!

My computer clock is a few minutes slow which drives me the most nuts and the clock on the stove just doesn't work!!!

There are 4 clocks in my kitchen (stove, microwave, coffee maker, wall clock) and I can never get them in sync -- they're always a minute apart from the next one. Then there's the mantel clock, VCR, and DVD in the family room, the clock in the living room, and three alarm clock in the bedrooms. It's a wonder we get anywhere when we're supposed to!

We only have four in our house right now. Our electric clocks do not work over here because Italy runs on a different voltage and the clocks lose time. We have a pendlum clock in our living room, and battery operated clocks in the kitchen and DS's bedroom and we bought an Italian digital for our bedroom. And no, they are not all set to the right time, drives me nuts too.

We have 7 clocks. Most of them are in sync, I think.

3, all set at separate times. If we want to know the proper time, we flick the view button on the Directv.

Lets see, 5 (actual clocks)

One at the computer, mantle, a backwards clock in the kitchen, and two clock radios upstairs.

Appliances that have clocks are the microwave, and the Palm (ok thats a handheld), the computer, the laptop, and DS's computer upstairs.

Thats 10!

(And yes, I hate not being on time, and for the most part they are in sync)

We have 10 clocks in our house and none of them are set for the same time unless I set them. DH isn't very good about keeping time like that so he sets them to what it "approximately" is. I like my clocks to be 3 minutes faster than work so all I touch are set to that time.

6, and I think they are all set right.

We have 2 in the kitchen (microwave and regular clock) set to real time.

We have 2 in the living room (VCR and regular clock) set to real time so we don't miss any tv shows.

One on the computer set to real time.

Two alarm clocks in the bedroom. Both are set about 10 minutes fast...but I know they are fast so I snooze more.

One in the second bedroom where I keep my clothes/shoes because that's where I get dressed in the morning. It's set to real time...I should make it faster, though.

I love clocks! Next time I go to Epcot, I want to buy one of the German cuckoo clocks, if I have enough money.

I have quite a few now. I have one that gives off a different bird chirp, at every hour. I have to set my alarm clock seven minutes fast to get up on time, lol!

including appliances that have clocks, we have about 15 or so, they are all within 5 minutes or so of real time, but most do not say the same time as the next clock over.

My husband says he needs to do algebra to figure out what time it is in our house. LOL!

I set them all at least slightly ahead. I tend to run late no matter what I'm doing, and psychologically, I think the faster times hurry me along. (No, it doesn't really work. )

Anyway, there is a clock in nearly every room (except the bathrooms). So, let's see.

Living room - 1 clock (beautiful carriage clock that I inherited from my mother) plus VCR time.

Kitchen - 1 clock over sink.

Dining Room - 1 clock (Lenox wedding present) in china cabinet. (Not running right now; needs batteries).

My Bedroom - 1 clock radio/alarm.

Spare Bedroom - 1 clock radio.

DS's Bedroom - 1 clock (wind-up Tigger alarm clock that I bought in WDW in 1976 when I was a kid) plus VCR time.

Basement - 1 clock (old kitchen clock).

That's 7 clocks plus 2 VCR's.
