3. Uh, don't you mean that's one LESS hour for you? |
|
We spring forward and lose an hour on Saturday night. Frankly, I don't care because I always celebrate having more sunlight each day -- I've been counting down to this since January! YAHOO!!!

4. Actually, you lose an hour's sleep. |
|
Because if you set the clock ahead one hour, but go to bed at the same time, you are getting up an hour earlier.

Thanks for the reminder----my mother reminded me to do it until she died and I was then in my sixties.

Being able to work in your yard up until 9:30pm is pretty damn cool.

13. But I hate changing all the clocks. Especially the one in my car. |
|
I have to get out the manual and read how to do it. I'm technically challenged. :-(
Now if they kept DST over the winter months, that would be better. Apparently, it is also better for the environment, something to do with the dissapation of car exhaust. :shrug:
So, maybe we should all just start our day an hour earlier.
