So do we wish they would leave the time alone so we don't have to mess with changing our clocks, or do we like the time changes?
-
I wished they'd leave it alone.
-
I'm on Mountain Standard time and I know I lose an hour. I'm still trying to figure out what time it is now. Do our computers and cell phones automatically change?
That's my way of saying I'd like them to leave it alone, too.
:heart:

I wish they would leave it alone. It never made any sense to me, that we had to change the time. So we have a little more light in the evenings, big deal. Just decide whether we want the extra light in the morning or the evening and then leave the time alone. As far as computer and phone, mine changes automatic.
-
I agree no time change, makes life lot easier.
-
I would love to have my 1 hour sleep but it is not going to happen. The days are longer in the spring and summer, and it gets darker later in the evening.
-
Time changes are good times. It gives us more time in the daylight which is always really nice.
-
I wish "they" (whoever they are) could create a system where it stays lighter at night all year as opposed to getting dark at like 430 pm in the winter. That is depressing and add the cold from the Northeast it lends it itself to not being productive. Not sure why it is necessary to have it be light super early in the morning.
-
the day is longer and you save a hour of electricity, plus in the summer you have for daylight for your outdoors
-
I have love spring ahead but I hate fall back. I need lots of sun! Yes, the time change does screw me for about a week but if it means longer days I'm all for it! :peace: :wave:
-
I think the best "day" would be sunrise at 6am and sunset at 8:30pm.
Someone I was talking to said there would still be a natural shift in light. So, let it be. I agree.
You can see your way in the morning going to work (in winter, when it's dark, you can't see the ice on the roads up north).
I remember walking to the bus stop walking in the street trying to avoid ice. I hadn't a chance at 5:30 am to check the weather. I slipped and got the wind knocked out of me. I was able to get up, catch my breath and proceed to take the trip to work!
You can enjoy doing something after dinner in the evening when it's still light.
-
I like the time change.
-
I wish they'd leave it in this new "spring ahead" mode. I need my sunlight and I'm sure most other people do too! In fact, studies have shown that lack of sunlight affects your mood negatively.
Here's the thing that bugs me too is that the US "extended" daylight savings to start earlier. Some other countries have adopted our earlier start, but not all, so now there's inconsistent time zones. When you communicate with people all over the world, it's kind of a pain!
-
I don't like the time change the day of, but in the long run, I do enjoy light longer in the evening.
Spring is coming!!!
My husband woke me up thinking I was late this morning, but I had changed my alarm last night, so much for sleeping in!

Yes the computers and cell phones change themselves thankfully! :)
-
No matter how they try to change it around, we still get the same amount of daylight with Daylight Savings Time as we get with regular time. I don't like it. I don't see any point in messing things up twice a year. I wish they would ust pick one and stick with it :BangHead:

i dont need to get up but my husband did. He was suppose to be a work at 4 this morning but h got there at 5. He might get fired but i think they should give him a pass
-
I think the original intent of the time change had something to do with giving farmers a longer day in spring and summer, which is their growing season.
That being said, my daughter found a way yesterday to "fool" her boys, 9 and 7 yr old twins. She set all her clocks ahead at 5 pm. That was fine until they noticed that the computer and Ipod had the correct time and they questioned it. Her response was that they all change at midnight :). That worked and only a little white lie.
-
I'm still so happy about the mild winter we had I really don't care what time it is! Weeeeeeeeee! If that wasn't great enough now it will be spring in just a little time longer I saw a flower! Yeeeee Hah!!! In all seriousness I like it like it is change your clocks ahead one hour and enjoy the little nuances of life. :peace: :peace: :peace:
-
I am neither crazy about the time change nor dead-set against it. I do like having extra daylight at the end of the day. The only real issue I have is adjusting; my body is still asking me, "What am i doing out of bed?"
Good Morning to All :wave:
-
I don't like the time change, and it always takes me at least a week to adjust.

in puerto rico we dont have to do that actually :o
-
I would love for the time to stay the same one way or the other it would make things so much easier.
-
I really wish we would leave it alone.It takes some time to get used to the change every time.
-
I'd like for the time change to be abolished.
-
I hate having the time change. It would be so nice if they just left it alone. I don't think we need to do daylight Savings Time anymore.
-
You loose one hour then you get that hour back later, HUH! I think the clock's should stay the same time! :BangHead:
-
I wish the clocks could just be left alone.

Um, I think you'd have to talk to the guy in charge of putting the Sun away each day.
-
The time change works for me just great. I don't mind having longer days (sunlight that it) at the expense of getting up an hour earlier. The summer evenings are especially great having daylight well past 8 o"clock whert I live.
-
Everytime they we change the clocks I always feel a little off for about a week or so. :dontknow:
-
I wish they would just leave the time change go and get back to how we used to live.
-
My laptop and cell phone automatically adjust the time. I only adjust the time manually on my alarm clock and car clock.
-
I worked during the time change and I do not like not getting pay the hour I lost.
-
I think time change just gives the media more to yack about. It would be nice to be on a "solid" time year round. My opinion only.
-
It has never seeemed to bother me. I always get up early. Seems like the slighest crack of light and i am up. Wish i could sleep later. Oh well
-
I am so glad my clock does this on its own because I always forget to set the my clock back
-
Yeah it can be quite bothersome if you're not aware of the change of time.
-
They need to leave the time change alone. Dont like the hour forward. If it was me I would leave it on Standard Time.
-
I wish they would leave the time alone. I like it where it is at know. Don't like it when we turn it back.
-
I think they should just leave it be it will eventually come to get long days in the summer and short in the winter, thats the way it should be
