Spring Forward vs. Fall Back

I put I missed my extra hour of sleep because you should have seen me at work this morning!!! Everyone was making fun of me at how out of it I was. Like when I was looking for a can opener to open some wet dog food for a sickie, this girl handed me a key to the clinic to go unlock it and get a can opener from there. I stared at the key in her hand and inched closer for about 20 or 30 seconds before realizing what it was then I asked her how I was supposed to open the cans with a key :eek:

I do like it being daylight longer, but I don't get home until after 9 anyway so I'm driving home in the dark regardless.

Pam, That is the way I feel - @ 8 or 9 in the evening during the summer I think nothing of being outside doing stuff. In the winter I feel like - it's take a bath and go to bed since it's dark & cold out.:rolleyes:

I just wish they would pick one and stick with it. I like the extra daylight in the summer, but it's a real pain to change back & forth.

I understand that the reason for changing time was so the kids that walk to school would have more daylight. Unfortunately, the kids all ride to school these days. Or at least most of them.

Indy doesn't change times. There have been
attempts made to conform to DST, but it never
gets passed. I would really miss the lost hr.
of sleep.Sometimes even 7-or 8 hrs is not enough.

:mad: It's a real pain every spring !! I really get mixed up by the loss of that one hour ... takes me at least one wek to adjust . This is quite odd , because I usually never suffer from jetlag and sometimes we miss several hours there !!! but that one hour of sleep less , I wish they would not do that anymore .... ! What's also very annoying , is the fact that most country do the change at a different date or even not at all . Confusing !!:confused:

Wow, I didn't know that!

I believe Arizona also does not "change clocks." The part of Indiana closest to Chicago (South Bend, Gary, Hammond) change but not the rest of the state of Indiana. I have lots of relatives in Indiana and half the year we are on the same time and half the year not! It can be very confusing! :confused:

I love DST! I need the sunshine! I have to work until 6 pm M - W so it's nice to get out and have the sun still shining! Or, around here, not necessarily shining but NOT dark out. I can at least get the dogs out for a walk before it gets dark! I do miss the sleep but I get over it in a few days!

Aly,

Yep. Our clocks don't change,and the time of
my postings are really 1 hr ahead of local time.
I've always heard the farmers oppose the time
change.? Liz.

I am very happy for Daylight Saving Time today!!!!! :D :D :D
