Happy Daylight Saving Time!

[Polybius]

It's that time of the year, so here is this annual post. I love this time of the season. Yeah, we lose an hour but to me this signifies the first important step to ending Winter, and that Spring is around the corner. Love that it gets dark later too! Some people don't like the adjustments, but it's never taken me more than day or two to used to. Anyway:

1. Time travel into the past...

Just keep it forever no need to fall back.

2. This this this!

For me, spring starts the day we spring forward!

Happy Spring, Mi Hale!

19. Same here! We keep hearing that there's bipartisan bill that the passed the Senate to keep DST

And that it was just brought up again. It was such a relief tonight not to have to drive in the dark!

4. My dogs didn't seem to notice the change.

[Polly Hennessey]

5. Well, maybe the dogs didn't but I did.

6. I hate this day.

I'm disoriented for several weeks from the time change every spring. It was really bad when I was working, but bad enough now. I wish they'd leave the clocks alone.

10. Same here. And, that 7:45 AM sunrise sucks.

It takes me weeks to adjust, as well. I wish they'd leave the clocks alone, too. There's no need for this kind of disruption.

11. What's wrong with 7:45 AM sunrise?

Can't you just get up a little later?

[CrispyQ]

26. Just curious if you're disoriented for weeks when we fall back, too? -nt

[Johonny]

28. Yup

I hate it. It's terrible for parents trying to get kids to school this week. We had baseball pictures at 8 am (7am) Sunday morning. I will vote to stop changing time back and forth as many times as it takes to end the stupidity.

7. BAH HUMBUG!

I hate DST. It's totally unnecessary. And the older I get the harder it is to adjust to the change.

8. Love it!

9. UGH 🤬 nt

[Wounded Bear]

12. You say that like it's a good thing...

[Polybius]

13. It's the most beautiful thing in the world

It gets dark an hour later, what's not to love?

[Wounded Bear]

16. It stays dark an hour longer...

[Polybius]

22. Who cares about the morning?

Dark mornings are kinda cool anyway.

[Ms. Toad]

17. No. It gets dark 2 minutes and 8 seconds later.

Just like it did between the two prior days, and the two subsequent days.

Clocks do not control the rising and setting of the sun.

[Polybius]

24. No kidding

I was obviously talking about clocks. I can tell this issue really bothers you, as I've seen your posts in the other threads. I can respect that you disagree.

21. I lost.an hour of sleep! It's now Monday!

Last week, it was still Sunday

14. Ugh, not a fan.

Also, hate the coming of summer as it's so hot in the south.

[Brother Buzz]

15. I'm bummed because Daylight Saving Time used to signal the beginning of MLB

I have to wait, like, three more weeks.

[Polybius]

23. It starts nice and early this year

March 31st, can't wait!

[Brother Buzz]

25. Think there will be any opening day snow games?

20. I lived in Michigan in the early 1970s

during the one year that the country decided to go on permanent daylight "savings" time. The sun didn't come up until after 9AM, which made going to an 8 AM class a real pain: you'd leave for class in the dark, and come back home in the dark.

I don't like changing times twice a year, but if we have to settle on one time let it be standard time!

27. AMEN!!!!! NT

I hate, hate, HATE getting up when it still dark. Oof!
