Its time for our obligatory squabble about Daylight Savings Time vs Standard Time

[brooklynite]

I, for one, want it to stay car in the morning when I’m asleep, and stay light in the evening when I’m out of work.

[Angry Dragon]

1. I have no time for this!!

[JHB]

4. Good news! You have a whole extra hour for it!

[Angry Dragon]

5. ........

[itsrobert]

2. Go to work early and leave early

Just solved your problem.

[Solly Mack]

3. This too shall pass

[Tikki]

6. I love daylight savings time..wish it would last all year long...

Love the light out later during the Summer.

27. Tikki for President!

Well, at least Secretary of Commerce, I think they are in charge of clocks, longitude, and the rising and setting of the sun.

8. Roger that. I drive a bus for a blood center for mobile blood drives. Most of the time, if we left

like it is in the warmer months, it would still at least be getting light on my drive to out of town mobiles. Then I would have many more trips with a little daylight left to drive back.

9. Just stick to one fucking time....

...and be done with it. All this does is fuck up everyone's sleeping patterns twice a year.

[Generic Other]

19. I feel this way too

But the control freaks must control everything.

[Sancho]

24. yes...pick one! stupid to play this game...

I hate changing clocks...

If schools or some business want to open in daylight or whatever - then just do it.

10. I lived in Indiana for a few years. It was weird in the summer. They should be CST

[NurseJackie]

11. I'll give you an hour...

... that's all the time I've got to give.

[struggle4progress]

12. Isn't Donna Brazile behind this?

[VOX]

13. Keep it on DST all year long!

Need daylight!

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. Then you'll have kids waiting for their school buses in the dark n/t

[k8conant]

14. Screw daylight shifting time...

keep time halfway normal by staying on standard time year-round. (That's what I grew up on in Michigan!)

If you want to have more evening daylight in the summer move to the northwest of your time zone!

[Codeine]

15. People cry about the stupidest things.

An hour isn't going to damage anyone's "sleep patterns."

[Blue_Adept]

23. Yeah, except for all that accumulated evidence that it does cause a lot of problems

Stupid facts.

[Duncan Grant]

16. Daylight Saving Time. Singular.

That should be good for an energetic sub-thread quibble.

[StarryNite]

18. I'm glad we don't have it in Arizona

except that since pretty much everybody changes it makes it all the more confusing for us if we're thinking outside the state.

20. Standard time sucks

I'm on Las Vegas time and will always be on Las Vegas time. Morning hours are worthless and really shouldn't exist. I need afternoon light to play those extra holes of golf. Starting this week my home course will demand the carts be turned in by 5:30.

[a kennedy]

21. Im up and thought it was 6:00 AND ITS REALLY ONLY 5:00am

I’m going back to bed!!!!!

[Orrex]

22. I adjusted my clock 58 minutes. In your face, George Hudson!

[whistler162]

25. Tough luck if people don't like it.....

It is my yearly birthday present, give or take a day or three, and I will share it with everyone in the US, well except for a few people in Indiana.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

28. Send some love to Indiana, too.

Indiana has been shifting its clocks for about a decade.

[whistler162]

34. I thought there was one area that was

a hold out to my gift!

[Squinch]

26. I like cheese.

[Siwsan]

29. I used to HATE the start of Daylight Savings and LOVE the return to normalcy

I started my day early, and hated going to bed while it was still light outside. Now that I'm retired, it gets a big 'Meh!' from me because I now can start and end my day whenever the heck I want to.

[Buns_of_Fire]

30. I call it "MOST" (My Own Sweet Time). nt

[Siwsan]

32. Oooo. I like that, and may just borrow!

[Buns_of_Fire]

31. Today is a day of national unity.

The one day (okay, two days) of the year when the majority of Americans unite in a common cause -- to figure out how to set the friggin' clock on the VCR so it stops flashing "12:00".

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. I'm pro DST.
