Topic: Daylight Savings

For those of us affected . Did you remember to turn your clocks back 1 hour. I forgot last night so I didn't get the extra hours sleep I could have .

I remembered but it still screwed my head up.

Re: Daylight Savings

I set the clocks back ahead of time. On the plus side. Me Tv showed Get Smart for 2 hours straight to compensate for the extra hour.

I have a body part named after a farm yard animal that whoever came up with the concept of daylight savings would be welcome to come and kiss.

Re: Daylight Savings

According to various on-line sources, Daylight Savings Time (DST) was originally proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, and was then re-proposed by an entymologist from New Zealand (George Vernon Hudson) in 1895. It was subsequently introduced in England by a builder (William Willett) in 1905, introduced to the House of Commons in 1908, and was made law in 1916. Here in Canada, we really get messed up because all of our provinces follow DST with the exception of Saskachewan. They stay on standard time year round.

I know ... who cares, right? (LOL)

Re: Daylight Savings

Here we are nearly a week in and my body still feels out of sync
I agree, don't need it, don't want it so get rid of it

Re: Daylight Savings

The kids and I now get up an "hour early" due to the daylight savings time.  Oh well... when we spring ahead next year we'll all be sleeping in an hour later.  Sigh...
