Dst--est ugh
I hate the time changing twice a year, don't you? Lose an hour, gain an hour, screws up everything either way!
|
Agree, even as a farm boy, I see it as troublesome.
|
well, considering we've had Daylight Savings Time in one for form or another for almost 100 years (originally enacted in the US in 1917), I would think we should all be used to it by now. I for one, enjoy the added daylight later in the day for outdoor activities and entertaining.
|
Would love to always see it stay lighter longer.
Love the night time. Guess it goes back to when I was working - leave home in the dark and return home in the dark ! Now that is an UGH !!!! |
I love the change in time - spring is coming -- fall is coming

More daylight for the grill.
Love it! |
I'm not thrilled about it, but I wouldn't say that it screws up everything. I like the longer days of summer. I don't think I'd like it getting light at 4:00 am and then dark at 8:00 pm in the middle of summer. Then again, if we didn't turn them back in the winter, we wouldn't see light until about 8:00 am.
My idea would be to push all the clocks ahead one half hour next fall and then leave them there. A side note. I spent my life running golf courses. Every year on the first day that we'd turn the clocks back in October, several people would miss their tee time. We have a pool in the golf shop to see who would do it. |

I hated the time change when our kids were babies, mainly because their internal clocks took so long to adjust--a couple weeks of getting up at 5 am instead of 6.
Now I love it. Especially the switch to DST. The more sun that's out while I am awake, the better I feel. We've had a lot of gloomy days this winter. Bring on the summer! |

Like mornings, I believe DST should be banned from life. Leave the time set (love the 1/2 hr suggestion by Dr. Boogie) and we'll have our share of daylight and I won't lose that hour's sleep. My internal clock doesn't adjust. My cats get confused. My dogs (when I had them) liked morning walks in the dark. Dumb idea in 1917, dumber idea in 2014.

I agree. |
I was raised in Jax Fl. I do not remember DST back in the 50s-60s. In the late 60s, I do remember that NJ had DST and we did not and we had to calculate the time to call the home office in NJ.
I remember that we just stayed out a little later in the summer months. Bedtime was still 9 PM when I was a kid. I have always hated the time changes. Z |
more daylight hours after 6 PM for me is a definite plus.
The change is = to less time than brushing one's teeth! |
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:48 PM. |
