Thread: Spring Forward Arghhhh ! Daylight Savings Time Begins At Midnight

I hate it. I have to admit I like "fall back" where I gain an hour, but the spring forward gets my goat.

Well, just move to Arizona and then you have nothing to worry about. No change there.

No time change here in Saskatchewan.

It takes 3-4 weeks for me to adjust to these time changes. I hate them.

Yeah and your curtains get more faded with the extra hour of daylight

the whole thing is poppycock. If you cut an inch off of a blanket and sew it on the other end it does not make the blanket longer.

Just set your clock 2 hours ahead and then you can fall back a little in a couple days. Everything seems right again after that :<0)

For me I never understood why we had to set the clocks back anyway. All the jobs I ever had I was there before daylight and left after dark. Nothing saved.

I have a brother who could not deal with the change. EVERY time, for the first week or two, he would ask, "is that the new time or the real time?" I'd blow up at him and yell, "it's the time!!!" but he just could not accept that.

My uncle who was married to my mother's sister owned and operated an Electrical Contracting Business here in Washington State. And he NEVER changed his clocks. He went by Standard Time 12 months out of the year.

He'd have an appointment at say 8:00am and he'd show up at 9:00am according to his watch and the customer would say; "You're Late"! He'd say, no, I"m right on time. The same thing happened if the appointment was at 8:00am and he'd show up at 7:00am according to his watch and the customer would say "You're Early"! He's say no, I'm right on time.

Yes he was 'different' but he made a good living for himself and his family. He also said once people understood his 'time keeping' it was never a problem.

OH! Jimmie, for some strange reason it actually starts at 2am and not at midnight
