Daylight Saving Time 2016: IT’S (Almost) OVER!!!

Daylight Saving Time. It’s finally here, people. Almost. In just a few short hours, it will be, and when that time comes, we will in fact save daylight, turning the clocks back FOR GOOD. Or at least until March 12, 2017 arrives. Let’s break it all down real quick here: Sunday morning (November 6), Americans will come together and turn their clocks back. The savings of time? One … entire … hour. For all you Americans looking forward to a long, dark winter and the sun setting at freaking 4:00 on the east coast, it’s a thing of beauty. Which is virtually no one ever. But whatever. Hey, at least you get an extra hour of sleep! Well, unless you have kids who have no idea what the f–k is going on and just get up after X hours of sleep like they otherwise would. Okay, scratch that too. This sucks! Anyway, Daylight Saving Time remains inherently confusing for some people for some reason, which is why is THG is here to assist. See helpful graphics above. BAM!! If that’s still not sufficient, here’s a more detailed rundown of Daylight Saving Time 2016, and what you can expect next year, to boot: Daylight Saving Time began on Sunday, March 13 at 2 a.m. Time “springs” forward in the spring (how appropriate, as shown in the diagram below) and “falls” back by one hour (above, also fitting). TIP: Set your clocks ahead an hour before you go to bed. OR stay up until 2 a.m., turn the clocks to 1 a.m., then sleep. iPhones will do this automatically. Microwaves? Not so much. If you can’t figure out how to change the effing clock in your car, don’t worry. Make a mental (or Post-It) note that it’s fast until 3/12/16. It’ll start getting dark at f–king 4:30, as we said before. S–t. The concept of Daylight Saving Time dates all the way back to 1895, when the U.S. economy was much more agriculturally-based. In recent years, the duration of DST was extended to save energy nationwide. Translation: At least it’s not October-April? Standard Time is a misnomer, as it’s a shorter chunk of the year. In 2017, Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 12 (above). Arizona, Hawaii and Puerto Rico residents: Disregard. There you go, people. After processing all of this vitally insightful and crucial information, you can consider yourselves officially prepared. Up top!!

Jessa Duggar Turns 24, Receives ADORABLE Birthday Message from Ben Seewald!

Yesterday, November 4th, was a big day for Jessa Duggar: it was her 24th birthday! Well, it’s been a big week for her, really, as she so handily explained on Instagram a few days ago. “So many milestones this week for our little family!” she wrote. “I’m overwhelmed by God’s kindness!” “Nov 1st @ben_seewald and I celebrate out anniversary, Nov 3rd baby #2 enters the 3rd trimester, and Nov 5th #SpurgeonElliotSeewald celebrates his 1st birthday!” With all those milestones, Jessa seemed to forget her own birthday, but don’t worry — her husband didn’t. Ben Seewald got on the couple’s website yesterday to share a little letter he wrote with Jessa. And yeah, sure, sometimes this family can be super gross , but this is adorable. “Dearest Jessa,” the letter begins. “It’s your birthday, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to call you some names.” OK, OK, that’s not a great start, but hold on, it gets cute real quick. “‘Jessa-Blessa’: Because you were such a blessing to your parents growing up, and because you’re such a blessing to your own little family now. (Plus it rhymes!)” But wait, there’s more! So much more you might get a toothache. From all the sweetness, get it? Do you get it? “‘Bride’: I could call you ‘wife’ but ‘bride’ carries more of the romantic sentiment of our wedding day. Because I want the young love to continue and remember the vows we made to each other, I’ll call you ‘Bride’ … ‘MY Bride!'” “‘Mother’: Throwing this one in here for Spurgeon and Baby #2 because you are such a loving and caring mother to them. Since they’re too young to say ‘Happy birthday,’ I’ll say it for them.” “‘Beautiful’: Because you are! Inside and out!” “‘Amazing’: Okay … maybe not a name, but you are amazing!” (Ben’s really selling it now, right?) “‘Beloved’: Because you’re my Beloved and you are beloved of God.” Ben wrapped things up by writing “I thank God that He brought you into the world and that He brought us together!” “You’ve blessed my life and the lives of others in so many ways! I love you from the depths of my heart!” “Happy birthday, Sweetheart!” Absolutely nauseating, right? Of course we’d take seeing this over some of the other examples of Duggar marriage sadness we’ve seen recently, but still, it’s a little overwhelming. A few of Jessa’s siblings wrote some simple little “Happy Birthday!” messages on social media, but her parents, good ol’ Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, were the only ones who came close to matching Ben’s thoughtfulness. They wrote a letter of their own, and they addressed it to “Jessa-Blessa,” so it looks like that’s actually a nickname of hers. “You are a blessing to us,” the OG Duggars wrote. “Happy Birthday!” “You went from being a high energy fun loving child, to a fun loving, responsible, mature, visionary, virtuous wife and mother.” “You have inspired thousands of young ladies to seek God, to wait for the one God has for them, and set an example how to dress modern, but modest.” “May God continue to bless your pregnancy, marriage and family. We love you, Jessa!” See? The Duggars can be OK! Sometimes! View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Pictures: Through the Years!
