Daylight savings time, global warming. Coincidence? I think not!

I have recently concluded that daylight savings time is directly contributing to global warming.
Has anyone noticed our unusually warm spring this year? It started in my area RIGHT after we set the clocks forward. Daylight savings time started almost a month earlier than it did in prior years.
Setting the clocks forward has caused an extra hour of daylight which, of course, has a direct effect on the heating of the Earth.
I think that we can still help prevent further damage can still be prevented by setting the clocks BACK a month early in order to create an extra hour of darkness.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you write to your congressman!

    I think that this is now the appropriate time to ask the question.........

    "What is your name , Bob ??
    Come on Bob, what's your name ??????"

    Haha,,,, I know the answer to that question!


    I really do!


    Uhhhhh,,,,, let me check my drivers's license


    It's Bob!! :D



    Ok, and today I came up with the multi billion dollar invention, patent pending,,,, the shower curtain that comes on a roll. so when it's funky you pull it and rip it off to expose new curtain material just like the roll of paper on the doctor's table!

    Holy shit, that would be awesome! I've been needing to change mine and I can't stand looking at it. Those sprays just don't cut it. While you're buzzing on the painkillers, try to come up with an invention to keep your gutters clean. That's a real pain in the ass. :D

    I don't need painkillers to figure that out! :D


    If you have a one story house, a leaf blower with a hook shaped attachment on it works pretty well.
    If you have to do them by hand,,, a kitchen spatula works pretty well to get the funky stuff out that you should have gotten out a year ago.
    Otherwise, a shield called Gutter Helmet. That's the only thing I've seen that keeps leaves from getting in the gutters in all my years as a home inspector.


    Haha,,, now I'm feeling like a one footed info-mercial!

    Or, when I'm back on my feet,,,, a beer and a couch,,,,, I'll come over and get'm!

    Pressure washer is great, but, like you say, that ecosystem in the gutters can get nasty!
    Maybe disposable roll out gutters like the shower curtain? :cool:

    I'm a friend of the earth type, so I guess that won't fly. Too much metal :o


    Actually, I think we're hijacking this thread from it's original seriousness! :D

    Rip off the old gutter...roll out a new one! Hehe :p We can recycle all of our aluminum and old gutters back into new rolls of gutters. ;)

    Yes, yes...back to the pressing issue of the daylight saving time conspiracy!

    Do you have a basement or crawl space? Does your soil slope away from the house? Do you have a decent sized roof overhang?



    Do you really NEED gutters? :D

    I'd take the gutters OFF and add drains on the ground before I cut the trees! But we need to discuss that first.

    I think I could actually do away with them. I just have a crawl space and the yard does slope away on the left side. I was only worried about the grass and the flowers. So drains on the ground....hmmm. Well, this has certainly been most informatve. :D Thanks!

    Wellllllll, it DOES depend on what part of the country in which you're dancing in the moonlight. If it freezes a lot, then ground drains won't work in the winter because they freeze.

    If you live in the PROPER part of the country that doesn't freeze,, (Where I should be living!) then you can put a gravel lined "French Drain" (Excuse me,,, "Freedom Drain" ;) under where the roof spills off to carry the water away. That may be more work than "Cleaning the gutters", though! :D

    I live in the south...where the only good things are the weather and the beautiful landscape. :) So I should be in the clear! But 'Boo' on the more work...nah, it would probably be worth it in the long run. :p

    Time for me to get some hate......
    I don't believe in Global Warming. I think it's a crock. Along with the sun causing cancer.

    Ok, well, you may have asked the exact wrong person about the sun causing cancer. All the money and insurance and time and energy I had in this world went to trying to kick that a few years ago and there aren't many of us around. Look up Stage IV melanoma.

    No hate, though. We make the beds we sleep in. :)
