Quote: What? Ok...just read that over again...lol. It was supposed to be for the farmers??? I thought it was for the golfers in the city who needed to golf and such.

I grew up in Saskatchewan where they don't change the clocks. Smart people. So what if the sun starts smiling at 4am? A person gets used to it. Pull the blinds, turn over and go back to sleep if you're job is 9-5 during the week and it happens to be Saturday morning.

on all this toopid clock changing. So sick of it.

(I just got the guys to "finally" change the bathroom clock, the one I can't reach, back to normal time with a new battery in January.)

I've got timers for my plants and the last time I decided NOT to change them. The plants couldn't care less, they still get the same amount of time.

When they used to change the time in October, the goofballs out here decided to wait till after Halloween so the kids had more daylight. Never heard such dumb stuff before in my life. Maybe people can make special requests for time changes to match their social activities.

Social activities is the reason for daylight savings. As someone else has pointed out, farmers work "from can to can't," whatever time that might be on a clock. It's the folks that work by the clock that benefit from daylight savings; they get an extra hour of light after work to do whatever leisure activity they might enjoy, at a time of year when it's fit weather to be out to enjoy it. The concept of energy savings was supposed to be in there, as well, but I don't know how that really plays out with modern lifestyles.

Mine look like that and they're not pregnant.

The vet said to stop feeding them grain.

She said nothing about the cookies.

I did my seed review yesterday and then despite having more seeds than I'll ever need, ordered 6 more packets from Johnny's.


Diva, they also eat Xmas trees...

Oh, why does that seem earlier than usual...glad you posted this. Will help my DH and me plan ahead for that day.

I believe the time change helps with the kids..catching the bus...walking to school. They aren't out in the dark.
Time change doesn't bother me.

Luckily, I don't have to worry about it. We have time change, but all of our important clocks adjust themselves, cell phones, computers etc. Cars and stove don't, but they are the only ones that don't keep up.
