      I hate it. It messes with the kids' sleep schedule twice a year. Interestingly, they used to sleep till 8 until daylight savings ended 2 falls ago. When spring came I expected them to start sleeping till 8 again, but that never happened.

        I love daylight savings time. I just wish we did it year round instead of swapping twice a year.

          OMG six months of **** coming. LOML hates it and never stops b(female dog)ing until it changes back, Think Sunday I will very queitly go to church and not wake her up. Me I like it as I can be outside longer and take the dogs for longer walks or trips to the dog park.

            You all seem to be living in the wrong place. Here, it is year round Mountain Daylight time. Policitically, they call it Central Standard year round, but, when the sun is due South at 1 p.m. I call it Mountain Daylight. The only tough part is, twice a year the TV schedule gets discombobulated.

              Which way is it supposed to be before someone decided to play. I have one clock that is correct for part of a year.

                I'm with Chris and Tom. I like having the extra hour of daylight in the evening after work.

                    The clock in my shop will be correct again. It is on one of the digital thermometers from the Discovery Channel and I lost the instructions on how the reset the thing so it stays on DST all year round. LOML hasn't found out the time changes on Sunday yet. I am not going to say anything and change all the clock after she goes to sleep so maybe she won't notice.

                      If I had me druthers I'd rather have the extra hour in the morning to sleep and at night to play.....

                      Knew some folks who lived just west of Thunder Bay and had a fishing lodge, in the winter they were on Eastern time and the summer Central time.

                        I do like the extra hour

                        of daylight in the summer. Get to play more in the shop. Just hate switching back to standard time in the fall.
                        And yes Bill, the rain has already reached us in central Florida. Thanks

                          I do not like it! Just when I am about to start bicycle commuting it's once again dark for the trip in.

                            I don't care which way they go with it, but put the clocks in one place and leave them the heck alone!

                            Oh well at least the clock in the Saturn is right for 6 months out of the year!

                              Do tell how that goes - I've always wondered if anybody'd notice if not told?

                              (she might be surprised she doesn't feel rested enough for the sleep she thinks she got!)
