Question of the Day, Saturday the 6th of November, 2021

[Mia6]

Hello, Hello! Happy first Saturday of November!

Time change tonight for a lot of us, gaining an hour.

Do you like the time changes or wish they would stay the same?

I wish they would stay the same as I hate the spring forward.

What about you?

 

[NY cat man]

I think it should stay the same year 'round. About the only reason for the seasonal change is because it has been done for so long, regardless of the excuse given.

 

[Tik cat's mum]

The only thing that gets me really about the clocks changing is the cat's don't know so I never get that extra hour in bed.

 

[denice]

I wish they would keep it the same. The one in the Spring affects me the most but I don't care which one they keep year around. Just pick one and keep it.

 

[Winchester]

I would prefer to stay with Daylight Savings Time. Getting dark at 5:00 in the afternoon is horrible and depressing.

 

[di and bob]

I like the extra light in the mornings, especially in the hot summers and I am a morning person. But I don't like the change. So I vote just keep it the same all year round, I can handle early evenings, winter is a laid-back time anyway.

 

[vince]

I wish it would stay the same year 'round, particularly if it were to stay on standard time. 10 p.m. is too late for kids to be playing in the street or people to be mowing the lawn in summer. I like daylight wasting time!

 

[strider rose]

either one way or another would be fine with me

 

[muffy]

I wish they would just leave it alone. I like it getting dark earlier. Since I'm retired now changing the time does not really bother me. It did interfer with feeding times for the cats.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I wish they would leave it alone. I do feel bad for the kids getting on a school but in the dark; but gosh having it dark so early feels awful! Its only good for looking at Christmas lights!

 

[Jem]

I'm on team "quit changing it!". I'm such a creature of habit that I don't do well with the time change. It can take months for me to get used to it, just for it to change again a few months later...
Our province (Ontario) has started the process and it's been approved to stop the time change, but the only way for it to happen is if Quebec and I think New York also does it along with us...there may be a few other provinces/states involved, I'm not sure about that part. But if everyone gets on board, it will stop for us.

Edit...just double checked...it's only Quebec and New York. I do believe Quebec is on board...So to all you New Yorkers.....get on this!!!!!

 

[Willowy]

I would prefer to stay with Daylight Savings Time. Getting dark at 5:00 in the afternoon is horrible and depressing.

Me too! Even though driving to work in the dark stinks, I'd rather have more time to do stuff outside after work.

Or just compromise and leave it on the half-hour.

The farther North you get, the more it makes sense to keep the time changes, but it's still a pain.

 

[betsygee]

I wish they'd leave it the same year round. After four years of owning my car, I finally pulled out the owner's manual and learned how to change the clock. Now I have to do it again.

 

[Lari]

I'd prefer it to stay on standard time all year.

Thankfully, my baby's not on a rigid schedule, but I imagine it's harder for people that have set in stone bedtimes. We'll see how J does this time around. Last spring wasn't too bad.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I hate the change. I already get super confused by it getting dark at 6pm because it happens so suddenly it seems when it rolls into winter.

 

[susanm9006]

Don’t care which one but just pick one and stay with it. Not good for sleep to change the time ever six months.

 

[neely]

I think it should stay the same year 'round. About the only reason for the seasonal change is because it has been done for so long, regardless of the excuse given.

My thoughts exactly!!!

 

[game misconduct]

when i was out doing bad still i always felt like i lost an hour of darkness or gained depending upon if it went ahead or back. now it doesnt make much difference to me aside from the week or two for graycie adjusting to her feeding times or it could be me adjusting to it i dunno

 

[Talien]

Daylight savings time needs to be drawn and quartered then burned.

 

[fionasmom]

I never really "adjust" to DST and really dislike it. Early dark does not bother me either as I think it goes with the winter holiday season. Worst problem for me is that the ferals refuse to adjust their watches and are all plastered against the back kitchen door at the "same" time, so I have to get up earlier until they slowly figure out what is going on.
