I WANT TO MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR

[nini]

I freaking hate this freaking, twisted, makes no sense, time change.

Can we just leave it this way all the time so I don't have to go through this freaking nightmare of trying to fall asleep when my body doesn't want to????? huh??


:cry: :cry: :cry:


Thanks for letting me rant

:loveya:

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. move to Indiana

parts of that state don't follow daylight savings time.

[Dying Eagle]

3. ohhh

A Laker's fan in Indiana, Good Luck

[nini]

8. No problem, I can handle myself as a Laker fan there!

bring it on! :7

2. You could move to Arizona.

Then you could mock those that have to deal with the inanities of time changes.

I do like the longer summer nights, though. I can get in 9 holes of golf after work before it gets dark. ;-)

[nini]

9. I like the summer nights too,, just not these two weeks.

Makes me cranky - can you tell?


hissssssss

4. As I get older, I'm feeling the time changes a lot more than I used to...

Having to get my son up at 5:45 so he can be on the bus at 6:45 is bad enuff, but with my body clock still saying 4:45 this morning, I've been crusty all day...

I feel yer pain :)

5. I've been crazy with this for a long time!

I live along the Ohio-Indiana border! I went to school in Indiana for my BSN and had to drive to Richmond....I was always second guessing what time class was.......

[nini]

10. Oh YUK...

that sounds like no fun at all!

guess it could be worse for me. :-)

6. Join us in Indiana :)

Then you only have to deal with keeping track of what time it is where all of your other family and friends live :D

7. Better yet, move to Saskatchewan.

They don't have DST there, either. Which says something about the people who live there, that they'd rather switch between time zones than learn how to set a clock.

11. All I want to know is

what idiot ever thought up daylight savings time?

[nini]

12. some repuke who wanted his workers to work longer into the night

probably.

it's cruel and inhumane I tell ya!

[Don_G]

16. Actually....

It was Ben Franklin's idea. Edison just marketed it.

[2Sailsgirls]

14. This makes me sound like a know it all, but...

I belive it started during the energy crisis in the 70's as a way to conserve energy into the night. The thought was the later the sun went down the later people would have to turn on there lights.

[nini]

17. During that time.. we stayed on DST year round..

..instead of going back and forth.

the changing of the time has been going on for decades..

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. I agree...it sucks...Here we were in jammies lounging around this

morning and then I realized son had to be to Kindergarten in 15 minutes. :( That and my daughter missing church yesterday and ensuring my spot in Hell. ;)

[fudge stripe cookays]

15. It rules for gardeners

I can work on the weekends until 6:30 or something instead of packing it up early.

I like having the sun stay later. Maybe because I was afraid of the dark as a child.

It's just an hour. Toughen up! :P

18. I know what you mean Nini

We turned our clock back one hour in Australia the week before last. Even though it meant a much appreciated extra hour of sleep it also mean adjusting to the longer evenings, it being dark when you returned from work at 5PM and so on. The day just seems so slow

I’m used to it now though


On our Senate ballot paper a few years ago there was a candidate for a party that called itself the "Abolish Daylight Savings Party". He didn't get elected though and I'm not sure what happened to the party
