Daylight Saving Times is a problem
My body is trying to adjust to this time change. I refused to participate, but it is difficult since the rest of the country decided to go along with it. It is not a problem with women. They have no sense of time. Being a half hour or hour late is normal for them. So why would moving the clock forward or backwards effect them? It is the men who suffer from this. It is somewhat easier to adjust to the Spring time change. It is the Fall time change that really throws off my body clock.

The Amish in Ohio aren't going along with it.

Re: Daylight Saving Times is a problem
I slept until 1:00 in the afternoon the day we turned the clocks back. Everyone I know slept late. I like Daylight Savings Time. It makes the sun stay out longer.

Re: Daylight Saving Times is a problem
Try adjusting to Hawaiian time, then coming home and then having it be daylight savings time. I love church on that Sunday because everyone comes an hour late! Its entertaining to the rest of us!

Mr. Magoo, as usual I find your chauvenstic comment offensive. It is unfair to say that "all women" are late and that they have no sence of time. I for one make it a point to be on time for school, work, appointments, etc. And I am sure that I am not the only one. To make a generalized statement like that shows your ignorance to how women really are. It would be like me saying "All seniors" are cantankerous old cranks, certainly that would not be fair because not all seem as grouchy and one sided as you do most of the time...I recommend you increase the fiber in your diet to hopefully "jump start" your bodys clock, maybe reguarity will make you less irratable I thank you

Re: Daylight Saving Times is a problem
• DST was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 in an essay entitled An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light. • DST gives us more daylight during the summer, which saves energy for lights, helps prevent traffic accidents, and possibly reduces crime. • In 1974, Congress extended DST to ten months to counter the effects of the Arab oil embargo. It is estimated to have saved 600,000 barrels of oil. • DST is unnecessary near the equator - all days are nearly evenly split; 12 hours' daylight, 12 hours' darkness. • The only major industrialized country not to have introduced daylight saving: Japan

Re: Daylight Saving Times is a problem
I agree Donna, I love that it will not get dark until after 10 in the summer. It seems that only the weak minded have a hard time dealing with the time change. |

Re: Daylight Saving Times is a problem
uralashlz, may I assume you are a female? As I said, females have no concept of time. Being late means absolutely nothing to them because they are never on time. If we are going to the movies, I always tell the wife the movie starts 1 1/2 hours before it actually starts. Otherwise, we would be arriving about the time it is letting out. And you are NOT getting an extra hour of daylight. You cannot change the laws of the universe by moving the clock ahead one hour. You people are so easily fooled, no wonder you whine about the politicians. You believe anything they say. |
