I love it. I suffer from SAD and when the time changes it means it is light sooner and for longer, and my goodness it makes such a big difference.
I know some people can’t see the point and argue that it gets lighter naturally anyway, but to have something that makes a big song and dance about the lengthening of sunlight hours reinforces the point even more strongly and makes me a lot happier.

Its when the clocks change again for winter that the trouble starts all over again.

I suppose I’m just being selfish in my opinion though

I hate DST. 5am wake up call was a killer this morning. Tomorrow, I have to wake up at 4am (which is still 3am to my internal clock). I’m so tired right now, i’m going to go to bed in another 1/2 hour (it’s 8pm right now). ARGH

I *LOVE* DST. We should stay on it year-round!

I hate getting up in the morning when it’s dark, sitting in an office all day with awful artificial light, then out of work at 5:30 and walking out into the dark (or almost dark). Driving home in the dark is nerve-wracking because you can’t see the multitudes of deer lurking in the shadows beside the road, waiting to commit deer suicide. We basically get home, cook, eat, and watch TV. I stay tired all the time because I get no light. It’s completely depressing, and I get nothing done in the evenings in the winter.

Summer is another story altogether! I get out of work, drive home and enjoy the lovely views, take my 3 doggies for a walk in the park, cook dinner on the grill, eat in the gazebo or go for a picnic, water my herbs, chase the dogs around the yard, work on things around the house….

Yeah, but apparently so many people think there is that when they google it, they always put the ’s’ on…..so if I want to be found through search engines, I have to repeat the mistake! Silly, huh??

Psst!… There is no “s” at the end of “Daylight Saving”.

Thanks for the cartoon!

“Mother earth is a woman…” I so agree!

I’m totally anti time changing. It’s confusing, stupid, and I manage to forget about it unless way too many people remind me of it. I would be for any time switcheroo that would save us money and energy, but if it’s not doing that, then what’s the point?

Personally, the time switch makes me nuts. I end up feeling groggy for about a week until my body adjusts. There may have been a time when DST made sense, but in our 24/7 world, I just don’t see it any more.

Then again, TiVo is kind of like a technological DST. And I love my Tivo.
