I hate daylight savings time

The decision makers on daylight savings time must have lived without children. Try adjusting three kids under 6 to the fact tomorrow morning church starts and hour earlier and you must go to bed an hour earlier and must be tired an hour earlier, you must eat your snack and wind down 60 minutes earlier than usual.

as i type our house is a circus...nice....thanks to whomever came up with this fiascso and to those who continue to screw up the lives of parents across the USA.

gotta go chase the chickens back into the coup

Even the chickens don’t like it, Doug.

Seems to me it would have been easier if the people affected by natures clock would just have adjusted their own schedules.

LDS--which is why i don’t get this. it’s no secret that DST hasn’t changed energy use. some reports show it increases. so why is reverting back so far under the radar?

I hate DTS too. It’s a bloody stupid idea.

It actually dates back to Ben Franklin--as a joke he made at the expense of partying Parisians.  More or less, by adjusting the clocks to make them think they were dancing the night away, they could be induced to drink & dance during the day, putting candle-makers out of business.

That’s what the government schools do to our sense of humor and getting a joke, I dare say.
