what is wrong with you

<3

first one i've signed, take that kony.

Kids will be impossible to put to bed tonight. The four-year-old is still sleeping right now.

But I get SUNSHINE on my after work runs. Sorry about your kids.

Ha @ 11 Months Pass... Had I only waited five more hours...

farmer's market was a shit show this morning - half the stands were only just setting up, everyone late

couldn't sleep at all

so much bullshit, i dont want extra daytime yet it's only march ffs

Yes!!!! Can't they move it to April or May? Wasn't it in April or May?

I think it used to be early April. DST got extended in 2007 so there'd be four extra weeks of it.

>:(

I know, right? Also,

Wyoming Senator Michael Enzi and Michigan Representative Fred Upton advocated the extension from October into November especially to allow children to go trick-or-treating in more daylight.[11]

DST is an important milestone for us with extreme seasonal depression. It's something to look forward to, it gives us hope.

go back to the yay daylight savings thread, flunkie

sorry bout yr depression tho

^^ This is why I still favor the Electoral College. Give the flyover yards some equal footing while you Mid-Atlantic Northeasterners monkey with everybody's time.

That's beautiful.

sun all in my eyes again in the mornings

That's where you save the light.

DST is an important milestone for us with extreme seasonal depression. It's something to look forward to, it gives us hope.

Since Sunday I've felt a marked change for the better. I had an immediate improvement in my outlook and I've been doing things I want/need to do each evening and day instead of barely hanging on. A lot of important and fun shit has gone undone since December.

I would be all for making DST the year-round standard. Standard time is needlessly difficult, especially for those of us on the very eastern edge of a time zone. Sunset at 4:15 is bad and if it's cloudy, it can get fully dark by 3:30. That's really hard for me.

Only 7 more days until the sun sets at 7:00 PM.

ugh I hate the waking up difficulty. I was popping out of bed no problem at 6:30, and now it is such a fucking chore even if I give myself until 7:30!

That said, I bought some pansies and today I'm gonna put those bitches in a pot, so gardening season begins today!

the number of car accidents climbs 17 percent during the first week after the clocks spring forward

DST is killing people!

I guess it there still being sunlight when I get home from work is fun, but that's more than offset by the fact that I have to wake up while it's still dark, which is a horrible way to start a day

If they waited another month, as they used to do, the dark mornings would be as pronounced.

Wow, I feel all that SAD just evaporating! Thanks, 7-11!

I love going to work in the dark! So cozy. Wish they'd get rid of DST though. Especially the 2005 extended version. It's like a shitty time remix. I suspect folks in the extreme northern latitudes might hate winter DST hours though?

Poor Canada. Were they even consulted on that remix?

Rep. Meeks' proposal up there is a rarity for me as (1.) Something I endorse from a GOP lawmaker, (2.) Something I support even though I know it's a terrible, terrible idea, and (3.) Why in the world would we do such a thing, let's do this, I mean it.

I love going to work in the dark! So cozy.

Me too and I wish I could feel that way about evening darkness.

DST restores me so getting up in the morning is much easier, even if it's dark. That's not the norm, I know.

See, I don't mind leaving work in the dark. MY DAY IS DONE.

Going to work in the dark makes me feel like I'm rushing to the airport for an early flight or I'm being forced to go duck hunting again.

Going to work in the dark is fine with me. I can just sleepwalk through it, it's an extension of my sleeping.

Interesting to see the different takes on this. My wife is in the "I can't get up in the dark" camp (never mind that she's been doing it all winter) and I live for being able to come home from work, sit on my front step and have a beer in the sun.

She didn't wake up in daylight one day and darkness in the next all winter though. It was gradual, which was easier to get used to.

And again, wait another goddamm month. I'm glad everyone can sit on their stoops in 45-degree weather and drink a beer, but c'mon.

I'm with Jeff. Easier to get ready for work while pretending you are still asleep if it is still dark outside.

my mom:

"Politicians are the only people who think that if you cut the bottom off of a blanket and sew it to the top, you get a bigger blanket"

I live for being able to come home from work, sit on my front step and have a beer in the sun.
