I love DST. It's a reminder to me that spring/summer is on the way. I'm glad the extended it from March thru Nov.

Daylight saving time is pointless. What about the nights? You're making the nights shorter. Have night saving time! Some of us are mobsters or farmers.

Yea but don't you like the longer days? Night time will always get here eventually. Stay up an hour later then and make up for it. I don't know, to me, it's nice having longer days especially in the summer.


TIS

The groundhog was wrong no early Spring here. More snow tonight and tomorrow. UGH!!!

Hey Mig,

Where have you been?


Well, it's like spring here today. Currently 81 and sunny and clear. I love it.



TIS

Can't come soon enough! I love the extended daylight hours. It's wonderful to be able to cook outside without a flashlight, sit out in the backyard after dinner. Just love it.

Hi TIS, I've been in hybernation. I poked my head out today to see if it was safe to come out. It's not I'm going back in. LOL

AZ ignores DST. The only net effect is to confuse our friends and relatives back East. Now they'll be three hours ahead of us, instead of two.

I don't like it. Spring forward indeed. I need the extra sleep!

I don't like DST because the extra hour of daylight burns the tomatos in my garden.

That's because you don't have it made in the shade.

I'm not crazy about losing the hour of sleep, but that extra hour of sunlight brightens the mood.

DST should be year-round! We need it during Winter more than anything, but noooooo.

It's well-worth "losing" an hour of sleep for more daylight!

Wasn't DST extended during the G.W. Bush administration? I remember being very happy w/ that decision but am still not used to the March time change even after 4+ years.

Always find myself saying....

ALREADY!?!?

I was very happy that the duration of DST was lengthened. The best part was trick or treating and it was still daylight!

Edit: taking the kids trick or treating, lest someone think I'm a creeper.

Cool. Did anyone go as a clown????

On the clock the day is 23 hours instead of 24. If you choose to lose the hour of sleep that is entirely up to you. I will still sleep the same amount of time, so I actually lose an hour of my waking day. You only lose an hour if you have to get up at a specified time.....like for church on Sunday morning.

Or work Monday thru Friday.

That's not even funny, Lilo.

I went as a pedophile once.

Come on, that's funny.

Sorry Vin, that's perverted...not funny, unless you're pedophile. The FBI might be tracking you as we speak..write...whatever.

You bring up a great point. Ok so for the FBI men, who are probably reading this with great concern. That was a pedophile joke everybody! I am not a pedophile. I LOVE CHILDREN. Ok, that ought to calm them. However, if you can't laugh at a few off color pedophile jokes, you may need to loosen up and have a Manhattan.

This is even better

I don't find those videos funny at all.

Really? Please tell me you're joking.

I would if I was.

Hmmm strange.

Lots of tasteless/immature humor is tolerated and laughed off on the Gangster BB. It's part of the fun.

BUT...you cannot joke about pedophiles any more than you can joke about rape. These people destroy lives and it's one of the few subjects where there is NO place for humor.

Use your brains, VG and realize that you are dealing with adults here, good people who have families and lives.

And if you don't understand that, maybe YOU need to loosen up and have a Manhattan (or better yet put it down).

Back to the subject of DST...woke up too late to get my daughter to religious ed class on time (8:30 a.m.). She has a nasty cold anyway so better she stayed in bed & we both got a decent Sunday morning sleep-in.

Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot joke about. Yeah all right, I'll play by the rules and try my best not to offend the puritans in here. You know, I happen to have a family myself. My ex gf was sexually abused by her stepfather. She used to wake up in the middle of the night screaming and crying hysterically. There is not a thing I hate more than pedophilia. I, however see nothing wrong with making fun of these disgusting people. Good luck with your opinions.

I concur with Geoff's and Apple's statements. It is unfortunate that from time to time this Board attracts posters who don't have the maturity that most of we Board members have.

You can choose not to joke about certain subjects because they are reprehensible to we Board members (with a few exceptions).

It's fitting that this thread is where some members spoke up against childish behavior.

Why is it fitting here in this thread?

Because it is about time.

I woke up at 11 and then felt better about sleeping in by telling myself that it was really only 10, so it wasn't that bad.

Well that's good. Because there's a place for everything and anything. This just isn't one of those places.

Usually, if you have to tell someone that something is funny, it isn't.

Probably in most cases, but we don't all have the same sense of humor. Some people like Andrew Dice Clay and some people hate Andrew Dice Clay. I happen to love him.

Watch this with an open mind and tell me he's not a genius.

It is a commie, sharia law plot.

VinnyGorgeous...you're trying too hard.

But if you insist...you might want to just start yourself another thread OR take your favorite videos to the YouTube Thread since Daylight Savings Time is quickly becoming old news.

Florida joins Hawaii and Arizona in saying FU to changing clocks !!

As long as it's for making daylight savings year around, I'm all for it. Screw these people who want to end daylight savings. There's a movement to do this in California. Retired boomers who want to go outside, talk loud, and wake the neighbors up at 4am instead of 5am.

Lol, you just made me home sick Oak. I had a nice elderly couple living next door to me out in Califonia, and you could set your watch to them being out on the front porch talking at 430 in the morning.

I too am all for Daylight Savings Time year round. I hope CA goes with it.





TIS

Me too TIS. I remember that as a kid in Pittsburgh I just couldn't wait for DST to begin and was sorry when it ended. I don't know why anyone would object to it.

CA. Should be its own country.

Daylight Savings TIME has come ! ! !

Don't forget "Daylight Savings Time" by Keith (??I think). From way back when,




TIS

I heartily agree!

I would like DayLight Savings Time to start first Saturday night of March and go until first Saturday night of October.

The way they have it now is confusing. 2am Sunday morning or such and second Sunday of March.

I was at first upset when George Bush changed it to March, but then really pleasantly loved it. Thing is before it seemed like a 2 hour difference in April. I don’t know why. But it just seems easier to adjust now at the start.

But DayLight Savings time goes on way too long. It should end in early October or late September. We’re getting garbage evening hour time right now in October, the sun’s already starting to turn orange at 7pm in late August. And even by late August it’s still dark out at 6:30am. The ladies I worked with at Avon were creeped out that we suddenly plunged into darkness going home in the evening when it fell back in November. If we did it in early October or late September it’d be easier to adjust.

Also the Sunday morning 2am thing is confusing. I’d do it Saturday night 11pm. You get an extra 10pm hour for one fall night and lose the 11pm hour for one spring night.

And for those who want it all year round I’d just say we either lose or gain 30 minutes (depending where we are) and stay there permantly. That way it’d be a happy medium.
