QL I am with you on that , only I don't care if they make it daylight nor standard or half way time .  JUST LEAVE it allyear once you decide.       Changing the clock to daylight time is like haveing your feet sticking out the bed sheet so you cut some meterial off the top and sew it on the bottom.   IT DON'T make sence.

I really, really liked having a time zone all to ourselves - it used to be when you set up a computer you would pick your time zone and there for all to see was the common sensibilites of Hoosiers cause we had our own time zone called appropriately Indiana Time.

Then some stoopid sawed off whipper snapper needed an issue to get his administration up and running so he convinced a bunch of sniveling legislatures that our great state was behind the times and loosing gazzilions of dollars because we never bothered to change our clocks twice a year.  What baloney  ::)

Life was good and then . . . DST.  WHAT A CROCK!!!!!!

not that it matters that much to me  :D

I like DST but I cant stand the change. It takes a couple weeks for me to get used to it.

Old men and dogs don't like change. Everytime I make a significant change i.e. moving a whack of logs or stack of lumber around here "Ol Red sulks for hours or days, directly proportional the the degree of change. I do my sulking right before the move.

I heard someone say that changing the clocks to get more daylight is like cuttin' yer head off and standin' on it to make yerself taller- kinda like what Don said. :D

The issue for me and family isn't about gaining daylight, can't do anything about that. But, we like the longer evenings after supper. Up here we eat around 5:00 and it's not going to be dark for over 3 hours afterward. ;D and even more daylight as June approaches obviously. 11.5 hours local daylight now, regardless of the clocks.  ;)

You guys over analyze stuff, life's much simpler. ;D

I just know I'd rather work in the dark at my "regular" job and work at home in the daylight. ;)

When I was working for someone else, I enjoyed DST. Had more time to do things that I wanted to. But now that I am retired, I can take it either way. My daily activities are by sun time and I don’t worry about clock time.

Since I retired, I adjust my personal time as to events and not the clock. And you can be sure that meal time is one of the events.
