oh, it's very simple - people wanted a longer day, so they took some from the day before...
sorta like cutting off a sheet at the bottom to add to the top to make it longer
made sense to someone, i guess!
Yeah, simple but stupid!Originally Posted by laureen227

I love spring daylight savings time! But then, I grew up on a ranch, so we really appreciated the extra hour of light. We got more hay cut and baled because of it.
but you could've just gotten up an hour earlier, & it would've been the same thing.Originally Posted by Bijou's Mom

I don't like losing the hour
I do like the extra daylight though

Not really. We were always up at daybreak. You can't do much if it's still dark out.
i guess my point was this: the sun rises & sets at the same times, regardless of what time we choose to call it. so you don't really get an extra hour of daylight - people just go to work an hour earlier in order to get off an hour earlier - but they try to fool their minds that it's really an hour later than the sun says...
Yep. I already did mine at 11pm just so I wouldn't forget! The only thing I have to change is my answering machine. And in the morning check to make sure that my computer, VCR and TV switched.
i did it! late LOL, but i eventually did itOriginally Posted by Bijou's Mom

Gah....I'm gonna whine and complain about it until they give me back my hour this fall....because it drives me nuts!!!
We don't go on DST over here for a few more weeks, so I'm glad about this reminder.
I've gotten lazy, and gradually replaced the clocks in our house, and my watch, with radio-controlled ones, so I only have to worry about the phone and VCR.
