Time Changes!

Please Our Federal Govenment, Leave OUR Time Alone.

Next year, time change will be 3 weeks earlier.

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?

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

Loosing an hour of sleep is not my idea of happiness

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...

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 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 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.
