Do you have clocks that chime where you live?

No, but I would love to have one of those fancy ones that have movement (carousels ro something) and chime tunes. Or I would like to have a large fancy one that goes bong....bong....

But not every hour and maybe not at night. there is nothing worse than not being able to sleep and hearing exactly what time it is by counting the bongs during the weeeee hours of the morning.

No, although there's a church nearby with bells that chime at noon and 6pm every day, and at random times on weekends, which I assume coincide with services. There's also a city-wide (I think) air raid siren that goes off at noon on Tuesdays.

Yes, but I've turned off the chimes (mostly). One of them still bongs once on the half hour.

There's a time and a place for bongs.

No

.....

Used to, hated it. My Dad got me a clock of birds once. A diff bird would sound off every hour, pretty at first. Got very annoying after a day.

No, but my parents have a clock that chimes; it used to be my great grandmother's.

I have a grandfather clock that's several hundred years old, but it needs about $1K worth of work before it will function again...

NO! Thank God!

I hear ya! That's why I like digital clocks so much - you have to look at them to know the time!

Yeah, usually on the weekends, at some party...

I guess that would be called a great-grandmother clock as opposed to a grand-father clock...

I got a cute clock for Christmas. It's in the shape of an egg, has a digital read out of the time, the temp, alarm...each time you push the 'mode' button in the back. Very simple very cute, so I thought I would put that in the bedroom becasue when you pick it up to see what it says it lights up, each mode has a different color.
So the first night I wake and it's dark out...but what time is it..? I gleefully pick up my cute wonderful clock anticipating a warm glo of cool colors and I'm thinking about checking out the temperature of the room while I am at it, and what other color glo shall I embrace... I turn it towards my face and it lights up blasting my retinas with a lasor beam that could have downed the Mother ship. I muffled a scream to frantically push buttons to make it stop but all I did was change from a blasting blue to eye gorging green and an eye watering yellow. I've not had anything that painful ever happen to my eyes so late at night, an experience that may have cured me of ever wanting to know what time it is in a dark room.

An Olympic event? har har

Damn... I love you Cloudy! I miss you....

*snicker* I wonder what's going to happen this Saturday - lots of crap going on and I'm still planning. Linda, unwittingly, is privy to the whole thing because I've been using her as a sound board as no one wants to hear about Pat anymore but I'll have you know that he's almost out the door. He hasn't been here in more than a week and a half, and when/if he shows ups; he knows it's to pick up his crap! I feel real good, depressed, but a good depressed - I think it's even passing now... Too much is happening and lots of it to keep me busy and away from him. I just have to live through this next weekend and then survive another 4 days, then I leave for 10 days to the Tremblant Blues Festival. More me time! It's all good!

I U 2!

Nope. Wouldn't want one making noise at all hours of the day and night.

Alas, no. I had a 250 year old heirloom cuckoo-clock growing up, but my bro has it currently.

No. But my grandparents have one (I gave to my grandfather). And their home is like my "other home".

OMG YES!!! LOL so irritating....damnear everyday
