.......The time change! It's a dark time, at least for a couple of weeks. It's over, did everyone survive? I'm excited, feel like I made it out of the dark hole of winter!!
The morning after.....

I'm dragging. I usually get up at 3 or 4am, but I slept until 5:30 ( which NOW is 6:30 
)
I'm usually making breakfast by now, and I'm still on my first cup of coffee.
This stupid time change throws my whole day(s) off.
It needs to stop. The country needs to pick a time and land on it
The "energy" we're supposed to be "saving" in the evenings we're using in the mornings.
Its just ridiculous

I've reset six watches, four battery-driven clocks, the stove, and the microwave. I forgot the coffee maker...gotta do that in a minute when I go down to refill.
WVDragonLady is right: this is ridiculous. Let's just stay on standard time and be done with it.

Do we really need this anymore? I thought it originated so farmers would have more daylight to work the fields. Farm technology today is more advanced than NASA. I really don't think they need the extra daylight.

I have a hard time with it. I can do the half hour increments, but the hour throws me. I just saw buggies go by for church on our road, and my clocks aren't changed yet.
Nope not started by farmers. They were actually against it as it messed with their critters. It was started by the gov. I'm much like the critters and have a difficult time with it.

Let's be like these people.... Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa. They are getting along just fine without switching their clocks and biorhythms twice a year.
We can switch back to year round standard time at a whim. The problem is that folks want to stay on daylight saving time and to do that we have to get congressional approval.
I am fine with standard time - it is governed by nature not politicians.

According to the movie "National Treasure," the idea of daylight savings time originated with Ben Franklin.

I slept till 9, which is rare but it was great.
All of you know that these are just numbers on a device that wants to tell you when to live your life right, I still don't care about the little devices that want to tell me when to do, they are a tool, your tool, not your boss
Do ya all know that there are people who think that by changing the time on the clock makes the days longer? As in the clocks are what has control over the sun.
There are some really stupid people out there in the real world

Makes you wonder, doesn't it, well more like confirms that idiocracy is a pandemic, which should be dealt with by make the afflicted live in close proximity to one another, OH wait that already exists, universities,

My mom tells a story about a great aunt she would stay with, she was a widow and needed help from time to time. She had one clock for "old time" and another for "new time". She'd ask mom to go tell her what old time was.
My Dad just use standard time all year, and would not even talk about it other than to point out how stupid it was, me I think clocks are a pain in the brain, but then I don't really think that most of what people think of as important is,
Amen! When I retired, they didn't mean much anymore.
I posted in another thread about having to get a new wall clock that told me what day of the week it is, so I wouldn't check the mail on Sunday. That's about how close I live 'by the clock' today.
When I get sleepy, I go to bed, when I get done sleeping, I get up.I reset 10 clocks today... almost all of them are 'for the girls'.

The Earth's tilt does that! The Earth is flat to some people
Occasionally I have to stop and think about what day of the week it is. Sometime I have to ask or look it up.
The first thing I did when I retired was get rid of my alarm clock. If I need to be up at a certain time I'm just up. No alarm needed.
I still have around 6 clocks that I haven't reset, not counting the cars. I never look at them so it's not a priority.

Only a white man would cut a foot off the top of his blanket, sew it to the bottom of his blanket and claim the blanket is now longer.

I couldn’t get to sleep until 5:30 this a.m. Had nothing to do with time change. I guess I’m in the wrong thread because I still like time change.
Hope you get some sleep tonight!!

SWEET DREAMS....
Random observation, Pearl started this thread ant 4:44 on sunday, according to my screen, And my phone decided to wake me up by beeping too tell the universe that it was done charging. at 4:45 Monday.
Well, that wasn't completely truthful.Amen! When I retired, they didn't mean much anymore.

I do have to confess that I do take my nightime meds at exactly 10pm so I don't forget.
If I go to sleep, then I don't remember.
Which specific hour is assigned to which specific rotational position of the Earth (or however you want to describe time) is completely arbitrary. Nature doesn't care about humanities need to assign a number to how far the Earth has rotated from an agreed upon randomly picked position. You could holler out, "It's 3:00am! Time for lunch!!!" and nature wouldn't care one bit. Politicians mostly wouldn't care either, except Biden would probably go get his sandwich.
Every time I read the thread heading I think we're talking about the morning after the night before.
You know like when you partied way too hard or woke up and asked who's that next to me in bed. That kind of morning after.

Its just an hour twice a year. I've never seen a problem with it.
I started the thread, so yeah, maybe, and then the time change was also involved!!
