Spring Forward

Since we are putting our clocks ahead an hour on Saturday night, I've got a question to ask.

Who thinks we need to change our clocks twice a year?

Re: Spring Forward

lol Jacki. I hate it as well. I didn't want to say anything in the first place because I wanted everyone's opinion as well.

I find that I gain an hour's sleep in the spring and loose an hour's sleep in the fall. Yes I know we put our clocks ahead in the spring and back an hour in the fall.

Re: Spring Forward

Its just annoying, easy to forget to do, then you're late for church or show up way early :) AND I don't like my sleep disrupted.

There are some places that don't do DST.

Re: Spring Forward

I don't like it either. In fact, I don't think I've ever met anyone that does, certainly no one who'd defend it.

Re: Spring Forward

me three or is that 4. I especially hate springing forward. I do kind of like that 25 hour day in the fall well in theory. I never recover well from it.
