Ready for it?

Still think its kinda silly and out dated

That being said, doesn't bother me that much.

Gonna go to bed when I get tired and sleep for 7 hours then get up. Will adjust the few clocks that need adjusting then. Same as when we change in the fall. Monday will get up and go to work and it will be a little bit darker out for a few weeks.

Never understood what the huge deal it was

I’ve never heard of it.

I thought the government banned it.

The government only bans good things.

Nope, I just googled it...it's true, near as I can understand it, the sun comes up later or something. How do they do that? Technology is amazing

Nope, I hate it. Wish they would leave it alone

I never understood why people care that much about it either way. I get a kick out of people bitching about losing an hour of sleep or whatever. I could not care less about an hour either way. I'm a farmer though so sleep is not all that important to me.

Here in Georgia, we'll lose an hour of rain.

Ditto, except getting up to go to work.

For those of us who have difficulty getting up in the morning anyway, it is brutal. More torture, for absolutely NO damn good reason at all.

Don't let the time change get you all wound up.

Bout right!

On the list of about a thousand things I wish Congress would do, this one shouldn't take more than 3 minutes to clear both houses and land on Capt.Fecalbrain's desk and yet these halfwits can't even pull that off. But they're " fighting hard for us"
GMAFB.

Myself, I'm retired, so I don't really care what time the clock says it is . . . but my garden does appreciate the extra hour of growing light during DST season.

Like in the summer?

The milking cows will be confused and the curtains will fade.

The chair is against the wall

I loved Jean Claude in that movie

Time change weekend used to be one of the funniest times of the year for me, back when I was writing.

It all started back in the early 2000s. I was trolling through the NWTF forum and stumbled on a thread discussing how the onset of DST was going to affect turkey hunting. I saw this as a golden bit of material and began writing reports on the effect of DST on the turkeys. In the fall, I did the same thing with the deer. Over the years, you'd be amazed at how many people bit.

Over time, I evolved the Blackhole Institute of [Deer in fall/Turkey in spring] Studies and staffed it with various characters borrowed from other bits of my apocryphal writing. Chief of these was poor Scooter. Scooter had originally been the orphan mascot of the pro-staffers at Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine. Some folks had the idea that the pro-staffers had some central facility where we met. Mind you, there were supposed to be one pro-staffer per state, although I doubled up and did Ohio as well as Kentucky. I and a couple of other pro-staffers fed the fantasy. Yes, we had a secret facility. Yes, we all hung out together. Yes, we even kept an orphan boy named Scooter, and were teaching him how to be a consummate deer hunter. Scooter had an elaborate back story, so I borrowed him for the Black Hole Institute.

You'd be surprised how many folks treated this seriously. Some of my fellow pro-staffers were sharing email with me. We were getting questions about how we had to prove our mettle as pro-staffers (feats of strength, woodsmanship, etc.) I got a heartfelt serious email from a high-schooler in Kentucky who wanted to dedicate his life to being a pro-staffer and wanted to know how to apply.

Scooter had a rough time of it. Every season, he'd get injured trying to place the temperature probe into the buck or gobbler. Or something else would happen while studying the effect of DST on game. At one point, I announced that we'd had a breakthrough and that the Blackhole Institute was now selling an anti-DST clock.

Announcing the Anti-DST Clock
That's #3 son, Angus, playing the part of Scooter. The idea of the clock was you set it to the old time and convince the deer or turkeys that nothing's changed.

At some point the schtick with Scooter kind of wore thin. By this time it had been a decade or so. I killed off Scooter and his girlfriend in some terrible lab accident and was left with their infant son, that (of course) was adopted by the Black Hole Institute. Wash Rinse Repeat. Shortly after that D&DH and T&TH closed their forums and did away with their pro-staff. I walked away with many fun memories of thoroughly catfished readers screaming that DST had nothing to do with game behavior and a few sad memories of the souls that bought in.

For a 9-5 guy, it is nice to be able to come home from work and do some stuff outside without it being dark. Allows me to hunt after work in the fall.

THIS !!!

Personally I would prefer to go to Daylight savings time and stay there.

This one kinda sucked...I had to get up at 0300, I woke up at 0150 and thought "Ah....one more hour of sleep." Nope! 10 more minutes of sleep! Oh well, it will buff out soon enough.

Ready for what??? It's not a big deal!

Well, here we are. Amazingly, the sun came up this morning and the birds are at the feeders.
I have carpal tunnel in my left hand. Actually, it's both hands but the left is a lot worse. It was acting up last night and I didn't get much sleep so I'm adjusting to the clock change by being dragged out. I'll need a long nap this afternoon. There's not much point in going to church because I'll just sleep through it.

Just one of those things the Amish find so amusing about us.

I hate std. time... Give me DST and I'll smile forever..

Have always hated it!

I'm retired. I get up when I feel like it.

wut?

'
My clocks all use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) over the Internet. Maybe one day some of the folks here will join the rest of us in the 21st century.

I hope this is satire

Pfft

We got people calling mineral surfaced roll, “tar paper”

JFC

I wish they would leave it DST year round, but the time change doesn't affect me one way or the other. It's one hour folks, you can do this.

I have no preference, just pick one and leave it that way. miles

Yes, yes it is/was. Couldn't find the satire emoji. ;-)
