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.

12. I love DST.
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.
