I wish we could just settle on the half hour changefor the whole year for evermore and leave it at that!

    It messes with the animals too! The horses are like "WTH?? You're an hour late with our food!" And the cat and dog can't understand why their internal cycle says it's time to eat, but the food isn't there..

    It seems to me that people are far too regimental with their schedules. Children need food and sleep when they are hungry and tired, not when the clock says so. Animals are in the same situation, get up at sunrise and go about your chores and they won't know a difference.

    Actually for animals that is wrong. They are very regimented, even in the wild. They maintain schedules, even without a clock. They get up and sleep on
    A very close schedule. However, the soft rule on domestic horses is that you vary feed schedules to avoid barn sourness. But the time change still messes with them. They don't understand what a clock is, or why we keep changing the feed schedule. The also have no concept of repetitive time tables ( that we do this every six months), so it's not like they are able to mentally prepare for it, like we can. But, with kids, you are dead on.

    My point is that we shouldn't change the feed schedules for them, we should change them for us!

    Thank you, it drives me nuts when people say the get extra daylight. Nope, no you dont.

    You two must be great at parties.

    I do get an extra hour of daylight in the evening if I prefer daylight in the evening versus the morning.
  • PoncierPoncier Posts: 16,925
    And you lose it in the morning, net added daylight: zero.

    But that is not what people mean when they say they gain an hour of daylight.  I can golf until 9pm during the week in the summer because of daylight savings time instead of only golfing until 8pm.   That is what people mean when they say extra hour of daylight.  Yeah, I can’t golf at 5:30am instead of 6:30am,but most people prefer daylight in the evenings because they work in the mornings.

    If they don't mean that then don't say that. If people want to say they get an extra hour of light in the evenings then fine. But fucking with our clocks does not change the amount of daylight in a 24 hour period.

    You sir are correct.

    How did you do that?  I'm impressed!  I got one hour less sleep.

    When I got up this morning my wife (who is always up before I am) said, "Somebody stole an hour from my iPhone last night."  :lol:

    I don’t set an alarm on Sundays so I got the same amount of sleep. It was just a different time when I woke up.

    Truth!

    It's so dumb now.  Please make it stop!!!
  • ^ Me too Dyer! The funny thing with daylight saving time is that kids with i pads or kindles that update the time overnight don't seem to notice that there has been a time change. I told my daughter that it was 11 am this morning but felt like 10 am and she looked at me like I was crazy and said "It's 11! Look at my kindle!" :i_dunno:
