Yea, why can't they just leave it alone. Someone is always mucking things up.

Agreed! GRRRR!! ><

I agree with everything you wrote, Dani.

I was just saying to someone at work the other day, I wish it would just stay the same...all year round. I don't like it changing like this now and then again in the Spring. Why mess with a good thing? :(

There are many states that do not change it any more. I wonder what it would take for our states to stop too!

I'm off to bed, so have a good night, my friend!

Hugs,
Dee

Thanks Dee for commenting. Sleep well my friend.
Love ya!

I agree with you dani!
The first day that is even a minute longer
is the happiest day of the year!
Shorter darker days...YUCK...
I bet it's worse where it snows!
At least that's not a problem here.
: )

Here either since we never get snow, lol. I wish we would though. I wouldn't know how to act!! :)

Thanks for your comment R.

I agree for the most part. I often fine winter sunsets far more magical then summer ones but thats just me. Plus with all the holidays coming up, I dont spend my time complaining about DST(though it is dreadful and hard to get use to at first)Try to focus on the good things, the winter celebrations and spending time with your family. Because those are the things that matter in life. You never know when it could be someones last.

Wishing you the best,
*Miss Nightmare*

I love winter alot. I wish we'd have snow here, but it ain't gonna happen. I'll have to check out a winter sunset one time & take a picture of it. Around 4 pm, I shut the blinds & turn on the lights. That transition from day to dusk, I can't stand to watch..so I don't see it happen if I can help it.

Spending time with family...is always a wonderful thing. I don't do it often enough. I should..you just never know, as you say.

Thank you Miss N..for your comment.

Most kids have to come inside from playing when it get's dark....consider it an extra hour of peace and quiet.Also if you want that extra hour of daytime then wake up ealier.Of course you can't feel gloomy when you're sleeping so mabey just stay in bed as much as possible.

I think DST was Ben Franklin's fault. Too late to hang, but you can curse his name.

I agree! I absolutely detest DST! :(. It's dark before I even get home from work in the evenings, now that's just a bummer!

I hate DST. It is depressing and for people like that already suffer from depression we do not need things that make even more depressed!! Great Post!

Yes..depressed made worse with DST, bah!! Thank you for commenting hunnie!

I never understod the need for this..and the worst part is I usually forget to set my clocks back so I wake up all confussed,and it takes me literally months to get my self back on track....I have one of those inner clocks,I never had the need for an alarm clock,so it really messes me up.....

Who was the genius that came up witht his idea anyway I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FEW WORDS WITH HIM,ABOUT HIS GREAT IDEA TO COMPLICATE THINGS....LOL

OK GETING OFF MY SOAP BOX....

Get back on your soap box gurl!
When we find that "genius", we will both give him a black eye! Hmph!!
Thank you for your comment love.

there is a lot written about this, many people get depressed because of this, strange, heh? That said, I don't care one way or the other, as long as I have people I love around me, doesn't matter.

An hour less that we'll all be WalkinOnSunshine!? No!!! Don't like it!! :)

Yes I know what you mean. I feel that also. Though it is annoying your photo and post is beautiful. Now keep walking on the sunshine that you are:) SMILE

yeah I don't like the time change either, it really sucks
you can buy a special lamp to help out with the feelings when the time change

I will have to look it up to show you what I am talking about

Oooooo! A special lamp?!?! Well I'm anxious to see that! Send me a link or an article on it! Yes, thank you.

FYI post.

DST is more about energy savings, because if it is longer light out in the summer (DST = Summer time), people are using less artificial light and therefore save enery.
This might not be much for one household, but for a whole nation it can make a difference.

Also, Daylight saving time is only in the summer, when the weather is hotter and we can enjoy longer sunshine in the evenings. It's the winter where the day starts and stops at the correct time.

But I agree with you. DST is a pain in the a$$

My son has followed his father into news paper work. Is now a columnist. He always calls switching into standard time "Daylight Losing Time." He and I would agree with you.

Oh trust me...I hate it. Sunday night when it gets dark at 5:30, Ima cry, lol. Not really, but I'll be thinking of it!! :)

NO, NO. PLEASE GET IT STRAIGHT. SUMMERTIME IS DST. WINTER TIME WE GO TO STANDARD TIME.
And Dani, Psychologists say the problem is light deprivation. They sell lights that can help you cope. Some towns even have clubs with a room you can go sit in front of a light, for a price. Better just to buy the lights.

I just don't like seeing the sun set early, lol. That's all. I'm not to that extreme. I have flourescent lights all over the house..I'm fine. There are alot of people that don't like the time change. I'm not alone.

Not sure this will make sense but does it really matter what time of day we have light or not? The bottom line is that the day will X number of daylight hours and Y number of night time hours. This has always confused me so maybe someone here to help me to understand it. Because the idea of actually changing our clocks, in this day and age seems outdated to me. AND a pain in my (husband's) ass. :P

Ok the ONLY thing I DON'T like about the time falling back, is the darkness descending too early in the afternoon for me. I prefer dusk later in the evening instead of 5:30 in the afternoon. If the sun rises at 6:00 in the morning, its alright, but the early nights...is what I don't like.

I totally agree with you on DST! I hate it too! I loooove a nice looooong warm, sunny afternoon, I am happy. But once it changes I swear to God my whole body and mood changes with it....Which I hate even more than DST! I hate it because once it starts getting darker earlier, I feel like there are even less hours in the day to get things done, and do not do as much as I normally would....I also start to get depressed and sleep later...Uhg it drives me crazy! And the cold, o man dont even get me started there! Hahah. Luckly I moved to GA, so it wont be as cold and no snow, which is nice. But still there has to be DST! Grrr... Hahah...

Okay well take care hunnie and much love as always!!!


xox Samantha xox

Damn Ben Franklin if he was to blame! I really hate it, too, yuck :(

I'm sorry to be the optimist ... but I like it.. Sunday I'll get to go to church an hour earlier...

... ahh.. but I will have to leave an hour earlier... NOOOO...

wait..

Can I change my mind??

wait...
....maybe....

Can I just move an hour up and pause it there for an hour??

Thats the one I pick.

LOL


I'm such a dork..
don't mind me.

LOL that was adorable..and yes you can change your mind! :)
My only complaint is having it dark at 5:30 in the afternoon. Other than that..I could deal with the hour back. I just like it to stay daylight til about 7:30 at night instead of so darned early as it will be Sunday night, yikes!!
Thanks for your comment, hunnie. ^_^

aw.. I'm not adorable.. but thanks :D And I see your point... I didn't have to worry about it too much tho.. church started at 6.... and I was there super early.. but I'll be noticing it tomorrow...

Yikes... I'll have to wake up early so I feel tired by the time it gets dark LOL .

If only......5.30? I wish, here it's getting dark around 4.30 on rainy days....

I remembered...I'm so proud of me!!! :)
