Anybody else hate losing an hour every Spring? Whoever came up with this idea should be tarred and feathered! Always takes me a few weeks to adjust after losing this stinking hour every year.

Yes, but I'm a genius.
I switch from five 8 hour days starting at 7:30 am to four 10 hour days starting at 6:00am.
And then the spring back thing happens. So I really get messed up on things.
Not like I sleep anyways. LOL! -
That's what you guys get when you own clocks and watches.

Yes this is the dumbest idea ever. How come Arizona and some county in Indiana don't have to follow the rules?

No time change in Arizona bwahahaha

No daylight savings here. We were left behind

CNN had an article at the beginning of the year about how to fix our time zone/DST issues. It was simple really and made way too much sense. So obviously, it won't happen. Get rid of DST. Combine EST with Central. Combine Pacific with Mountain Time. You now have the continental US with only two time zones. Forget three hour time changes for cross country travel. Forget East Coast bias in sports (because we don't stay up to watch California games).

Hayblet:No time change in Arizona bwahahaha
Well, as I understand it, that's only partly true. When my child bride and I did the "Four Corners" thing a few years ago, we found that the state of Arizona doesn't recognize DST. That portion of the state that is Navajo Reservation does, however, recognize it. Except that the Hopi Indian Reservations (plural) that are surrounded by Navajo Reservation land like small islands do NOT recognize it.
And that, boys and girls, endeth today's lesson on the simplicity of life. Hope that clarifies it for you..... LOL -
Only thing I don't like is having to set the time on my 9 watches

Imagine how much fun you'd have setting them all if you lived in Arizona.... Lol -

The only part I do like is having an extra hour of sunlight at night especially when I get off work.

+1. It only takes a day or so to get adjusted to the time change and that's worth having the extra hour of daylight. I like that plan from sleeveplz since I'm EST, but would be pissed if I was in CST.MorganGeo:The only part I do like is having an extra hour of sunlight at night especially when I get off work. -
