My mom use to live in New Mexico, and she kept two sets of clocks, one set for when the time changed and the other for what she called "regular time"

Me too! I moved here to get away from crazy clock time. And now, thanks to MD we have it. UGH.

I don't like it, I'm tired and crabby. Especially hate it in the Fall when it's dark so early.

I also keep two clocks for time. Somehow it comforts me. I wish time would not be changed.

Daylight saving time is nuts! Like cutting a piece off one end of fabric and sewing it back on the other. Accomplishes nothing. Most people are smart enough to get up earlier (or later) if they need to adjust. The rest of us are just aggravated for the convenience of a few. Rant over now.

Just leave it one or the other. It's the changing back and forth that bothers me. Daylight savings time is 7 months long now anyway...why change it for 5 months?! Tennessee has a bill in the works to keep DST all the time. That would work for me. It has passed the first 'hurdle' but not sure when it comes up for a vote again. Sure hope it passes. I know I will vote to keep just ONE time.

I just want it to stay the same, no changes. the sun is the sun and the moon the moon. They don't need any help, nor do plants and animals. it's hard enough for me to get up each morning, but I made it. again!

AZ is my home and so glad I don't have to change clocks and adjust my sleeping pattern.

I agree, I don't know what it serves (now); it had a purpose when we were farming, but it's crazy for right now.
