[Machias Banshee]

you know the drill.. :D

[Duke]

already change mine but thanks for the reminder.

[Cascadia]

all of my clocks are changed for the new time. :)

[Brinatello]

Okay, for PST peoples like myself, you should set your GMT clocks in here to 8 hours. It was 2 a.m., but my clock jumped back to 1 a.m. Ugh, it's gonna get dark by 5 p.m. now and I'm gonna haaaate it!

[That Matt Guy]

Feels like I got out of work early.

[DarkNinja]

It's Daylight Saving Time, not Daylights Savings Time, or Daylight Savings Time. :roll:

Yep. more sleep for me. :sleep:

[Taloniss]

Why change them? I'll just have to do it again in 6 months.

Yeh i know it was just a joke...

[Bowser_Koopa]

a bad joke i must say, still u haven't explaind this dailight thing

[MTN889]

we set our clocks back an hour to preserve something or other...

[That Matt Guy]

Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April. Time reverts to standard time at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. It has its origin in farming, because crops don't grow in the winter so there is no need for the extra hour of daylight.

[Bowser_Koopa]

ok that was more like it :)

[Cascadia]

someone told me that there is one state that does not need to change their clocks.....Indiana

[That Matt Guy]

Utah or Arizona, I believe do not either.

[Raven]

now i have to change my glow sticks that have clocks on them........

[Sparvid]

It has its origin in farming, because crops don't grow in the winter so there is no need for the extra hour of daylight.Really? Sweden has had Daylight Sav... err... Winter time (:P) since 1980, however it was tried once in 1916 (i think) but it didn't catch on because the farmers was complaining...

And I thought it was the winter time that was the "real" time..? :-?

[Reznorite420]

:roll: You know people do live outside the US, MTN889...Don't forget Arizona...

Oh yeah, I was quite relieved that an extra hour was added to my day; didn't find out about it until I turned my computer on, though.

[Lisardo]

Of course with HT and I, we don't havta worry about Daylight Savings Time cuz we're in Indiana and we never change. Yay! Of course id did kinda screw up the online tv schedules for us Hoosiers. Only in certain places in Indiana, particularlily the upper left corner (near Chicago) and lower left corner (Evansville) does it change. When, what date did it officially change Daylight savings?

[JameO]

Canada does this too it's not just US. Yeah I got my clock set back. But it sucks that at like 6pm it gets dark and by 7pm its pitch black.

[Machias Banshee]

We get dark at 430 now!

I used to come out of karate at 8, and watch the sunset...now I see it while i'm in my 330 class! :x

[Kameko]

Does anyone else get the feeling that DST exists solely to screw with our heads?

Seriously, by the time I got to school tonight, at about 6:30, it was already dark out. I almost had to turn on my brights to navigate the crowded parking lot because it was so dark (not only was the sun down, but it was cloudy as well, and the few lights that there are in the parking lot weren't even completely on yet... neither were the lights along the sidewalk. :tgrumble: ).

And how in God's name are you supposed to tell the difference between white stripes (student parking) and yellow stripes (staff parking) in the dark???

*twitches*

[Cascadia]

it does screw with our minds.....but we get an extra hour of sleep

[Lisardo]

It's dark anyway. It was only 6:15pm and it was completely dark. Man, not used to that. Always takes alittle gettin used to.

[That Matt Guy]

The sun starts coming up at like 5:30 AM now. It's usually daylight when I get out of work at 6:00 AM.

[JameO]

Yeah it truly sucks. Me and Michaelangelo went to zellers then toys r us to check on Canada's supply of tmnt toys. Then when we left TRU it was like 5:20 and was pitch black almost! That is horrible!

[Stone Ill]

Yeah. Yesterday, I went for a quick "nap" at 4pm and I woke up at 6pm. It was pitch black and if I didn't know what time it was, I would've sworn it was atleast 9:30pm.

[Dinny]

I dont like daylights savings time, coz now I get up at "11" and f***ing Teletubies and other sh*t was on TV. 1 time it went so far I had to READ, READ OH GOD.

:tread: Oh screw this Im doin my homework.

[HorseTechie]

Heh.. I like Indiana. Don't have to worry about changing the time and all that weirdness.

I hate the winter months though. I love the sunlight... come back here sunlight! Darkness and cold... brr.. no wonder I get so depressed this time of year... :dead:

Grrr.....and my bed is on the east side of my apartment and I have a large window. It is hard to sleep-in.

[Lisardo]

I don't care much for Indiana. It's ok temp. wise, but still there are better, more exciting places to live. And places with more job opps. It's ok, but just ok. One perk as you said is the no DST time change. I think that's pointless and a pain in the butt. Sorry to anyone who does like Indiana, but that's just my opinion.
