I don't know about the rest of the world,but when daylight savings time comes around I'm messed up for at least 4-5 days until I can get back in my groove.What about you?

**Tadpole** · 04-02-2005, 09:54 AM

I doesn't throw me off really. Everything does seems different beacuse I am use to a certain time haveing a certain amount of daylight.
I wonder what it would be like if you took a plane and "followed" daylight savings time around the world. Just get in a plane and for the next 24 hours just follow DST as 12 midnight reaches the next time zone. 24 hours would go by but techincally on 1 hour has ....Time travel haha

When I flew to Frankfurt last May I had 24 hours of day light. B/c of the time of the year and the route we flew, we flew completely over night time. It was crazy. I kept looking out the window expecting to see blackness...but it never happened.

I took off at 4pm PST time and landed at like 10am Frankfurt time. That and the jet lag really screwed me up.

But usually day light savings doesn't mess me up too bad, maybe for the first couple days.

I hate DST Indiana is one of the last states that does not do it and I love it... although this new govenor is trying to get that changed...asshole I new I sholdn't have voted republican

Well, where I live in Canada (Saskatchewan) doesn't have DST...it's nice to have the same time year round. Because of how the daylight can get during the summers and winters, an extra hour one way or the other wouldn't make a bit of difference.

i love it. it stays light out longer, which means more beach parties!!

and barbeques

I HATE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME......purely during spring time.....I hate having to turn the bloody clock forward & lose an entire HOUR of my time......

Other than the grogginess in the morning though, i dont tend to care either way

I get messed up to! I'm so bad at changing time zones because I always thing It's this time in Boston right now, I should be sleeping. And then I get tired at lunch, haha.

When my mom comes back from Singapore and Hong Kong for business her days become at least 40 hours. You take off in Singapre at 2pm and you land in LAX at 2pm the same day. Same with Hong Kong and Chicago. It's very crazy. She doesn't get messed up until 3 days after though.

I think we should have Tpunk time.Any ideas as to what we could make it?

**urOZm8** · 04-02-2005, 07:41 PM

I hate daylight savings - the curtins fade more.

**space virgin** · 04-02-2005, 11:02 PM

I'm more than willing to trade an hour of sleep for an extra hour of daylight!

Plenty of time to sleep in the grave.

**LostFarmboy** · 04-03-2005, 12:44 AM

man, i love daylight savings time, it means i can go riding for hours after i finish work. We've just gone back to normal time, it sucks.

**lost in texas** · 04-03-2005, 01:30 AM

Springing forward made me an hour late to work that morning. In Iraq. Who would have thought? For you military people, doesn't that f- up your tactical planning and stuff?

**blinkchick2134** · 04-03-2005, 06:44 PM

Yeah I was pretty confused this morning. Lucky I remember to set my alarm that is set to automatically do DST for me (I have two alarms...I'm sad).

Ewww, I was so cranky @ work today. I couldn't fall asleep until VERY late!!! It does mess with me, but then I ate some left over sloppy joes (No dirty talk now) and I'm feelin' much better. :D Cranky cst can screw off.
