Time Changes!
 

Please Our Federal Govenment, Leave OUR Time Alone.:mad:

Next year, time change will be 3 weeks earlier.:eek:

Let the golfers golf, the farmers farm, the kids start walking instead of riding the bus in the early morning light.

How about the unhappy cows, pigs, and chickens? They dont count?:rolleyes:

Can i get an amen! lol :D i hate time changes ...it messes with me for a week to recover and get back on schedule again

I almost forgot about it this morning, thankfully my wife remembered and changed the clocks.

Are you kidding? All year long, I look forward to getting in that extra hour of sleep! (In college, it was an extra hour of partying... ah, yes, time does change) ;)

This is fall .....meaning "fallback" ..... you loose an hour of sleep not gaining an extra hr of partying:rolleyes: Loosing an hour of sleep is not my idea of happiness

No, you get an extra hour in fall. The clock goes from 2 to 2:59, then back to 2 again.

You lose sleep in the spring, when the clock goes from 1:59 to 3.

ummm, you gain an hour of sleep sweetums.....like when I woke up this morning in a drunken haze thinking it was 1:00 in the afternoon.......and then realizing that it was only noon.....thus, going back to sleep for another hour.

Oh my gosh your right! i dont know why i thought we would loose. I hate time changes should just leave it alone and stick to one time and be done with it.

I'd like to get rid of it as well. It really plays havok with my fellow insomniac's time clock. We can thank Ben Franklin for the dubious daylight saving time.

I'm all for getting rid of it.

I also look forward to DST in the fall!

I hate it too, I think we should just stay on DST.

On another note, does anyone else have Sprint for their cell phones? My phone didn't pick up the time change and I cannot find anywhere in the phone where I am supposed to update it myself...

exactly, not to mention that they have it backwards! (you need more light in the fall when it's darker normally)

seriously though, why cause all this trouble if they like DST so much just leave it, or leave it at regular time

It's because otherwise it gets light at like 3-4 in the morning during the summer... so we tack that on to the end of the day instead. But there's no getting extra light out of the winter months if it's dark at morning and again at 6pm

I used to have Sprint and it always took several hours for the phone to change to the correct time.

I love the time change...

I was working on a brief until 4AM, but thanks to the time change only 3AM!

Happy day.

I mixed up my AM/PM when I changed my alarm clock on Sunday and was almost late for work today!

I have T-Mobile & although T-Mobile does change the time automatically for most phones, some phones do not have the capability to change on their own. So it could be the model of phone you have, and not just your service provider.

On every phone I've owned it's under "Settings" ->"Phone Settings"

I didn't realize it was this weekend until this morning. This could explain why I fell asleep at 10:30 last night and woke up at 5 this morning...
I always enjoy the time change in the fall. Hooray extra hour of sleep!

Every clock (computer, cable box, and cell phone) I have automatically changed itself except for my oven and alarm clocks. It's pretty convenient.

I find this time of the year depressing. I can no longer deny that the winter is around the corner when the sun sets before 5 PM.

I have Sprint and they always screw up my time the Saturday night before the time change. When I got text messages Saturday night, they all showed up an hour later than it actually was, and I freaked because I thought I was late for the party.

Hawaii doesn't observe DST and I hope we never do.

Ben Franklin obviously DID NOT have small children when he came up with this time change idea. My one-year old eats and sleeps on a schedule, and he doesn't get the time change. So I was up at 5 (which used to be 6) this morning. Hopefully he adjusts to this soon (or by next spring when we go back).

I didn't realize it was Franklin's idea...I guess they can't all be winners.

I learned in HS civics that this was passed b/c of a coalition of special interest groups, which included corporate farms and candy mfgs, with the candy co.s thinking the extra light would in the fall, for halloween, so more candy sales, so they bankrolled it, and then got screwed in the language

I think that this site explains the history & rationale reasonably well.

Two years ago, and this year, I was out being "social" and my phone changed itself. I thought I had blacked out and lost an hour of my life, and then I realized it was time to change the clocks. I felt so dumb both times.

Usually turning it off and back on again resets it.

I tried the turn off and back on thing, but no luck yesterday. The good news is that sometime in the last hour it has decided to reset itself. You would think Sprint could keep up with something this simple. Oh well, cest la vie.

time change is such hassle...everyone I talked to was "off" because of it....it's even worse in the spring, when people loose sleep......

Yeah, I knew I was late today when it was light out. Then on my way out to the car I sprained my knee. AGAIN. It was not a good day. :(

in the fall they should fast forward one hour instead of rolling it back. yesterday i got off work at 6PM and it was dark outside.

I had Sprint before, and it doesnt---you have to change it yourself. Do you know where the "World Clock" is? The area where you can look at different times across the country & the world. Well when to get to that screen, there should be a little tab at the bottom that says something like "options" or something. If you open that tab, there should be an option for DST.
