Once again ... ... I wish this was the last time.

I don't mind falling back & getting that extra hour, but I don't like the spring forward. I wish they would just get rid of it since it doesn't serve any purpose. Just me.

Well, we are right behind you, Holly. It is so depressing when it gets dark that early in the day. Now we have to wait until Dec. 22nd to start counting the minutes of daylight we gain each day. Sigh...............

Standard Time is God's Time. Daylight Savings Time is the work of the Devil.

Relax. When you're retired, clock time loses a lot of its relevance.

Now, instead of waking up at 3:30 am DST, and fighting to stay up past 8:00 pm so I won't wake up at 3:30 am, I'll be ready for bed at 7:30 pm and getting up at 2:30 am.

I hate all this time change crap.

 

[Marquest]

Grrrrr! I hate hate hate this crap!

Thanks for the heads up. I forget sometimes.

 

[mike4lorie]

Thanks for that info, seems late this year, and sure wish they would just drop the time change thing...

 

[Tommy]

I sure wish I didn't have any greater concerns than the semiannual time change.

 

[Deya]

I am sick of the time change, but not sick enough to move to Arizona.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Ruthanne]

Ok. I really hate this! It gets dark way to early. My SAD starts happening

We turned our clocks back last night. I don’t want us to get to the church an hour early and have to sit in the car twiddling our thumbs.

I always thought they had it backwards. The extra hour should be the fall and winter and the standard time for spring and summer. I dreaded the change when I delivered for UPS. Busiest time of year from Thanksgiving to Christmas and it was getting dark by 5 PM. I usually had 2 to 4 hours left on my route.

It really slowed progress for in town deliveries and was sometimes scary for rural when crossing a mountain with no one around for 20 miles. Snow coming down, road slick, truck heater struggling to keep truck cab above freezing, dual tire chains banging, creeping along at 30 MPH, thoughts of a warm dinner at 9 maybe 10 PM fading, and still miles to go.

An extra hour of daylight would have sure helped.

I’m an early bird and enjoy the sun coming up earlier.
