    We have pendulum clocks and my husband is in charge! So he just stops the pendulum (they are wind up clocks, not battery) and waits until the corrected time to start the pendulums swinging again. Saves all the aggravation.

    I agree with you....

    I'm with you.. I'd rather turn my headlights on at 4 a.m rather then 4 p.m.

    Either would be fine with me. I just wish it could stay one way or the other.

    I agree totally. Time change is so stupid. Just leave it on Standard. It stays light long enough in the summer. If you can't do it before 8pm, too bad.

    I HATE resetting the time. There are 24 hours in the day no matter how you slice it. If you want to get up earlier or later, Fine, but leave the clocks alone. It takes me several weeks to adjust to the clock change. My internal clock doesn't change much and it drives me nuts! My husband repairs clocks and you can't imagine what a job it is sometimes when he has a bunch in the house to reset them all.

    Oh me too. Or how about we just make a half hour change and make it permanent. Would that make everyone happy?

    This is what I have always said. You have 24 hours per day and the same number of daylight/ dark hours so matter what you call it. Just leave it at one place and forget it.

    Me too. I just get the dogs used to sleeping later & the time changes.
