My favorite post ever, on daylight saving time discussions.

Your history facts are faulty...look it up. First started during WWI. Brought back in the 70s.

And not everyone despises it. As I posted earlier, I like the twice a year change. I like the longer light evenings in summer, and I like it shutting down dark by 4:30 in winter.

Shouldn't there be a question mark after this thread title? I've lived in places where they observe Daylight Savings Time, in places where they didn't, and in places where they were arguing about whether to have it or get rid of it.

I've taken to just observing the skies. If its dark, it's probably night. If it's sunny, it's probably daytime. That's close enough for me. I'm retired, my wage slave days are forever over and I get there when I get there. No stress.

Did you say it backwards on purpose to be funny? Or do you have it backwards without realizing it?

"Fall back, Spring forward" is the ditty invented to remember which way the clocks go.

I was so exhausted from resetting my clocks this morning I had to go back to bed.

When is this daylight saving time nightmare going to end?

I love it! I love the time change twice a year! I love the later light in summer and the early dark in winter. I hope it never gets stopped.

You know, with all the useless, do nothing, things the government does, don’t you think they could squeeze fixing this one into their busy schedule?

It’s dark ALREADY, I do not like it not one little bit.
Move clocks a half hour, and call it quits!
