I'm the other way - I would MUCH rather have it get light earlier. It sucks getting up in the dark. And *just* when it's starting to get light when I have to get up, we have to "spring forward" and it's dark when I get up again.

IT BITES.

Personally, I'd rather not have any Daylight Savings Time. This really gets old as you age. Just think when majormadmax gets older and his arthritic hands can't turn those analog clock dials.

Remember, it's not nice to fool Mother Nature!

I work night shift, so this means that I get to go home an hour early!

Thank you whoever came up with the Idea of daylight savings time. Woo Hoo!!!

We are fooling ourselves thinking that we are fooling mother nature.

I almost ROFLMAO everytime I hear somebody say that the daylight savings time is to help farmers.
As if the sun is gonna stay out longer by changing by our clocks.

I think Daylight Savings Time is a crock. But I'm a creature of the night. I wish it stayed on Standard Time all year.

They dropped the farmers explanation a long time ago. Now it's for the CHILDREN. So the poor babies won't have to stand in the dark while waiting on their bus. What a crock.....
