I HATE it! WHY can't we just LEAVE them set at the "Spring Ahead"?? >:(

I chose hate it since I really don't like it, but it doesn't bother me that much. But, I do wonder if anyone else notices that the forum time isn't right? It's 21 minutes ahead of my time. Is it just me?

I love it...
on the first day only.

I always forget and then get that extra hour surprise the next day. It's like a mini-Christmas!

But I hate the over all result of it now getting dark outside at 6pm.  :(

:)

They convinced Jimmy Carter to do away with it during the energy crunch.  It resulted in a lot
of kids going to school in the early morning darkness, and people went wild.

I just wish they'd let everyone leave it at the Spring setting! As for the time difference with the forum....I don't mind as long as the board stays up! ;)

I remember...but I also remember my kids getting home and having less than an hour before the sun went down  :-\\

I thought it was to conserve on energy. Then why would he have done away with it during the energy crunch?
That doesn't make much sense  :-\\

I have always hated it. It just makes things very confusing. So what is worse, having kids walk to school in the dark or having kids walking home in the dark?  :-\\

Yes....and when you take into account all the after school things, that makes it even worse.

Arizona doesn't observe Daylight Savings time either.

Arizona doesn't observe Daylight Savings time either.
I found this and now I'm really confused!

No More Sunlight in Arizona and Hawaii


Arizona and Hawaii and the territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and American Samoa are the only places in the U.S. that do not observe DST but instead stay on "standard time" all year long. And if you've spent any time in the sweltering summer sun in those regions you can understand why residents don't need another hour of sunlight.


Indiana's Unique Timekeeping


And then there is Indiana. You can get yourself in quite a mess when you ask "What time is it?" in parts of Indiana.

The Hoosier State's unique system for observing daylight time is rooted in its once farming-dominated economy. Farmers prefer early daylight to dry their fields and and an early sunset to end their work at a reasonable hour. But some residents think the reason Indiana is missing out on the high-tech boom is that companies are turned off by all the confusion

Which may add some more fuel if (Republican Gubernatorial candidate) Mitch Daniels' political ads are to be believed. According to him (And a few sources), Indiana is the only state to LOSE high-tech jobs.  >:(

I chose 'like it' but I am not too bothered by it. In fact, it's great to have an extra hour in bed.  :)

But everybody LOSES an hour come April ::)

Well, we've got to take the rough with the smooth sometimes, Mark.  :)

I indeed live in the Hoosier State.  In most of the state (except for the northwest corner, which syncs its clocks to Chicago time), we do not change the clocks.  So in the summer, we are on Chicago Time.  In the winter, we are on New York Time.  :P  .

And guess what?  The trains still run, the crops get harvested, babies are born, and the cars still start.  I prefer the "do nothing" approach after having spent 39 years flipping my clock back and forth twice a year!  :)  .

Every couple of years, somebody in the Indiana Legistature who has an inferiority complex starts a movement to end the "medieval timekeeping practices" of our state.  And every time it gets resoundingly rejected.  8)  .

By the way... The South Bend and Elkhart Metropolitain area has the highest percentage of its workforce involved in manufacturing than ANY metro area in the United States!  Over 50% of our workforce is in maufacturing; the next closest metro area is at like 27%.

So people who say that Indiana "misses out on business" because of our time system are grossly misinformed.

I like it because of the extra hour of sleep...but it sucks getting dark so early.  I chose like it just because of the sleep.

it's a nuisance, i hate it...here in canada, the province of saskatchewan doesn't observe daylights savings time for the same reasons given for indiana.

But Dagny....you still lose that hour every April :-\\

I hate it because I always forget one clock and then I look at it and get all confused....I missed it last night though, was gonna stay up late seeing as I had the extra hour and I FELL ASLEEP  >:(
No winning is there!
Still, nice having the extra hour in bed. April's loss is a nightmare though...less sleep time is never good :P

;D ;)

Maybe I'll move to Hawaii, Indiana or Arizona :D ;)

If I ever do move there it'll be to Griffith, where Banasy lives :)

It feels like it's 9:00 right now but it's only 6:15.  Therefore I don't like it because it makes me very sleepy realy early.  But I do like it at times too.  I'm in-between :D

If I ever do move there it'll be to Griffith, where Banasy lives :)


Well, then you'll be changing your clock then.  :P

I used to live in Portage IN, about 5 miles from Griffith.

I haven't seen Banasy on the boards for quite some time. Is she alright, Mark?

Sorry for going off-topic.

How about Indianapolis?

i really enjoyed it this morning after being out late at a Halloween party(did i mention Jell-o shooters)..but dark at 5pm is rather sad

No Problem, Bobby :) I talked to her about a month ago and she's just been really busy :D

Indianapolis does not change its clocks.  You're safe there.  ;)

That's good. Say an hello from the people of the board for us.  :)

Now that Daylight Savings Time is over.The sun sets at 4:30pm-5pm.But,I don't mind.You just have to plan your day early in the morning,That's all!

speaking of time does anyone realize the clock next to your profile is 20 minutes fast? Did Chucky fix it yet? ???

I'm so used to wearing my sunglasses in the morning and when it reaches close to 5pm,I have to take them off! :(


Howard

I've always liked it.  I don't mind the early darkness at all.  I especially liked the extra hour this morning.  I had a hangover! 
;D

I always find the return to Daylight Savings in April a sweet time of year.  I'd miss it if it went away.
I worked out the best solution for the Daylight vs. Standard time problem.  I'm just having trouble convincing the sun to stay up an extra hour, old Sol drives a hard bargain!

I wonder who came up with Daylight Savings Time? I just don't like changing my clocks back and forth.It's so annoying. >:(


Howard

That's good. Say an hello from the people of the board for us.  :)
I just talked to her and she says to say "Hello" to all of you as well! She says she WILL be back soon ;)

Exactly why I don't like it! And again....you lose the hour of wonderful sleep in April anyway :-\\

But,now in the morning the sun will be up shortly! :)


Howard

Yay.  :D

I'm in the minority (which is cool). I like the Fall Back. The kids in my apartment complex go in earlier, which creates a quiet environment. I know, call me a meanie!

It just gets confusing in April and December.Why change it in the first place? I mean,you have to fix all of the clocks & watches and it gets crazy trying to remember which ones to set. ::)


Howard

  Eh...I'm used to it, by now...

:DThat's why I like it.It's not as dark in the morning,making it easier to get up.Plus you feel more cozy when it gets dark sometime before you go to bed.Cheers!

EXACTLY ;)

Set it back. Set it forward. I don't mind. I would prefer that they set the time so that it stays light out until 11:30 pm or so every night year around.

Wouldn't that be great? Plenty of sunshine until midnight (just forget the morning darkness) ??

;D

I haven't voted because there wasn't a "don't care either way" option.  I don't actively 'like' changing the clocks but then I don't hate it either.

I always change my clock and watch before I go to bed.  Husband always changes them on the Sunday.  this year he went round the house with my daughter changing all the clocks- including mine!  Guess he didn't look at the actual time before he did it. ::)

Well,zcrito the sun can't be up all day.There has to be a time for which the sun sets like during the Autumn months,the time for which it sets is 5pm and during the Summer months,the time for which it sets is between 8-9pm. :)

Howard

Has anyone ever forgotten to set their clocks when it began or ended Daylight Savings Time?  ;D

I'd like it to never be Daylight Savings Time.changing clocks are redundant. ::)

The local paper say sunrise is at 7:11am and sunset at 5:41pm.
A little over 10 hours of sunshine. No law that says those 10 hours can't be from noon till 10pm. Let's all just move our clocks up 5 hours.

Then I'd never get the kids in bed!  It's bad enough in the summer trying to convince them that it's bedtime even though it's still light.

Don't like it! I work 12+ hours a day so I like to have lots-o-light for more than an hour when I get home in the evenings. :)
Although it does work out well for Halloween :D

In my NYC paper,the sun comes up at about 6-7am and goes down at about 5pm.I really hate that cause by the time I get home I only have 2 hours of enjoying the sunshine. :(

Howard

THAT is perfect, Howard ;)



Let's say for example there wasn't a Daylight Savings Time,then what would happen? ;D


Howard

;)

Well,we have another 6 more months till we change the clocks back once again. ;D

Yep...and then the same people that loved that extra Hour of sleep, will be pissed because they lose an hour...see? They should just leave it alone :)

I like that extra daylight in the spring and summer....I tend to get the blahs when the clocks go back.
