I hate the time changing twice a year, don't you? Lose an hour, gain an hour, screws up everything either way!

[Golfingnut]

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well, considering we've had Daylight Savings Time in one for form or another for almost 100 years (originally enacted in the US in 1917), I would think we should all be used to it by now.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

Although I prefer the springtime change to DST, love the long days. One hour time change isn't that hard to overcome and esp when the days are longer, more time to get a nap...

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 like the extra daylight ... what irritates me is the occasional clock or timepiece that makes it complicated to change the hour. Most are easy ... a few require the manual to figure it out.

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!

I had a car once whose clock reset was unfathomable, even with the manual. My solution was to let it be wrong for six months.

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.

[zcaveman]

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.

more daylight hours after 6 PM for me is a definite plus.

The change is = to less time than brushing one's teeth!
