Have I mentioned before how much I hate the twice-a-year time change? Why, yes, I believe I have. But that's not going to stop me from mentioning it again. I think the whole thing is ridiculous. If I could find just one incontrovertible study that shows the switch is good for something, then I might feel better about it, but I can't find one. It seems to me that what we have is the massive disruption of millions of lives, and for no good reason. I say pick a time, Standard or Daylight Saving, and stick with it. Set it and forget it. Stop screwing around with my circadian rhythm!

couldn't agree with you more, Bill.
It takes my body weeks to agree with the clocks. I hate it!!! I like standard time because I don't like getting up before dawn this time of the year.
I realize we're not the only ones who do this, but what kind of country is so wishy washy that we can't settle on a time and stick with it? It doesn't bother me quite as much as it did before I retired, since now I don't have to get up at any particular time, but I still hate it. I'd prefer standard time, but I'd rather have year round DST than changing twice a year.
I agree. It's state option. Arizona and Indiana stay on standard time. I'd like to talk Montana into it.
Indiana doesn't anymore.
I only like the fall back part of it. Any excuse to sleep longer.
went back to read the previous post, and saw that a grandparent refused to have any truck with DST.my Grandpa did the same.. we wont'get into the language used! and I could not agree more.
btw, I'm one of your long-time readers.
Thanks, Miz J.
My Dad said "An Indian chief once complained that his blanket was too short - so the wise man of the village said to cut a piece off and sew it to the other end... Daylight Saving time came from that idea!
