    Default 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.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

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

    No time change here in Saskatchewan.
    Is it over there or over yonder?

    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.
