I just wish they would set it at one time or another. This changing stuff is not good.

Hate DST. Why don't they compromise and just go back 1/2 hour this fall and leave it. :)

I hate DST. It reeks havoc with my fibromyalgia. Personally I like it to get dark earlier. I'm a night person and that is when I like to do my quilting when it is dark outside.

She's speaking to everyone in Australia.
The USA is "falling back" while they "spring forward" since they're in the southern hemisphere.

I live in Qld in Aussie and we dont have it - It is really annoying cause there is only NT/QLD and WA that dont have it. I love it - lived in the other states in my younger days with young children and loved it. We are a bit backwards here - I hear it fades the curtans and the cows dont know when to come in to be milked - totally incorrect - bring it on
