I feel you. I'm having a hard time with it getting dark so early. it's kind of depressing.

It's cold. it finally feels like fall/winter in LA. I've been sleeping with an extra quilt.

we had daylight saving down here a few weeks ago - summer here so I had to get up an hour earlier. Boy that hurt. Getting up in the dark again... but it's all better now. Amazing how quickly dawn and dusk actually move.

Winter is better: sleeing in an extra hour. :)

It is uncharacteristically warm here in PA. 70+ degrees. I love it. I read something funny someone posted about daylight savings time....if we only changed the clock back one hour, why is it getting dark 3 hours earlier? Haha

I fucking HATE the time change! Messes my life for weeks two times a year! Why the H do we have to keep doing this?

Because "THEY SAY WE NEED IT!"

Boy, would I love to meet "THEY" some day and let them have it! I hate the time changes as well. Time to fire up the initiative process and get my state to drop the time changes!

The only thing that really bothers me about is how it gets dark so early now. I hate driving around in the dark really and I'm usually out in the evening time, so it can be a bit bothersome. It doesn't really effect the way I sleep or anything else that I know of.

I'll be blunt....

The time change is useless.
The time change "sucks."

And most of all, ..... "THEY" suck!

Daylight savings time is a relic of the past that for some reason we can't scrape off the bottom of our shoes. But here in the US we couldn't handle the metric system, so we are probably doomed to spend half our lives running around setting clocks and otherwise being late.

But that's just my opinion!

Daylight saving is only relevant in a world where people operate by clocks. In a world where they operated by 'dawn, get up, dusk go to bed' daylight saving was irrelevant.

The whole reason for it is that in winter, a day is this wide:

----------/----------
and in summer it's this wide
---------------/---------------

So you could have dawn at 5am, and then get up at 8 and go to work, or you can shift the day, have dawn at 6am and go to work, come home, and have an extra hour at that end.

this is why they adjust it, and remember they are adjusting the summer. they are returning to the status quo in winter; they are not adjusting the winter.

I have always hated daylight saving, until I was an adult. Until I had evening chores to do. My stepfather hated it always as a dairy farmer - his cows didn't like getting up early. But for me working a 9 - 5 job, adjusting that morning means my evenings have more daylight in them to do the garden, paint the windows, all those chores you have to do after work. You can't really do half that chore at 5am and the other half when you get home from work - and you wouldn't want to get up that early anyway.

If you hate the time change, set your clock 1/2 hr early for 2 weeks before it starts. :)

At 4:30 this afternoon ( I live in Tennessee, Central time zone ), I went into my husband's home office where he was working and looked out one of the windows and said ' gosh, it looks like it's going to rain, it's getting dark out there '.. then it dawned on me that it wasn't going to rain, it gets dark by 5:00 p.m.! I'm still not used to it and I don't like it getting dark so early either.

and I want to know who ' THEY' are too!

Because "THEY SAY WE NEED IT!"

Boy, would I love to meet "THEY" some day and let them have it! I hate the time changes as well. Time to fire up the initiative process and get my state to drop the time changes!
