Glad you said that! I just went and changed the time on my alarm clock!

I love that article!

Tonight, my house, to screw my Sunday up.

I just changed all mine. Lazy days of that extra hour are over.

Me too. I hate time changes. We never used to have them in my state.

Well, I guess it is what it is. Thank goodness cats don't deal with it. Imagine a bunch of sleep-deprived cats! Ack! Ha!

If I ever get my hands on the guy who invented Daylight Savings Time, he is dead meat. I will slowly murder that individual in new, hideous, and excruciatingly painful, ways. DST is the most asinine program ever dreamed up. All it does is screw everybody up twice a year.

I can't stand the time change. I've been 'off' all day.

Stop beating around the bush. What are you saying?

I never got the hate for it all. I don't love or hate it; it has its pros and cons. It's nice in the spring and summer because it stays light longer at the end of the day.

2am. Should be 1am. Ugh. :sick:

I feel unbalanced.

It is very hard on people *point at self* that work 10.5 hours days every weekend.

Amen to that Wols. Spring ahead to goofy time then fall back to regular. Being retired helps as we just ignore it as much as possible except for Mass time and other appointments.
