Default I HATE ending Daylight Savings!

This Sunday (11/2) we set the clocks back 1 hour.

Personally, I would rather push them ahead 2 to 3 hours.

Hate it getting dark so early. Yeah I know I am retired but. . . SO WHAT? LOL

AM I CRAZY AND ALONE ????

No you're not crazy. With the beautiful weather here we should be able to enjoy more daylight. Maybe Florida will become one of those states that decides not to partake in daylight savings time. In the mean time, we can make the best of it!!

But I love the mornings and find it hard to get out of bed when it's still mostly dark, I'd rather have more sun in the mornings.

When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said…

‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’

Same daylight no matter what your clock says. Although you did say "enjoy more daylight", so maybe it's just a matter of what time to get up. Sometimes in the summer time, after a full day of golf, exercise, and an adult beverage or three, I'll be really tired and want to go to bed early, but it's still light outside.

I enjoy the day, and it doesn't matter where the extended/lost hour might be. The day has 24 hours, so I just have to adapt to the daylight, not what the clock might tell me.

I like your attitude! Just wish I could emulate it.

Me too! Love to walk early early in the morning, but as it gets cooler and cooler I also like to stay in bed longer!

I wish the US would do away with DST and just have TIME. It was instituted for the purpose of energy savings and has not accomplished what was expected. It encourages people to lose sleep during the alleged "longer day" and just makes folks tired and cranky. Down with Daylight Savings Time!

For me personally, I don't much notice the difference and don't care one way or the other. So put me in with the "apathetic and lethargic" group on this one. It may be a party of one.
