Oh yeah, back to standard time - the clock ....
 

Will have to sit and press the chimes button on my old pendulum clock 11 times to reset! So much easier to just add one in the spring! I always mess it up or loose count and have lived with it "dinging" 2 more times for each hour this summer because I gave up on it! Course I could just take the battery out!

Just one more reason to crab about even going back to standard time! Can't we just stay on daylight? I remember when I lived in Australia and they just introduced DST. Farmers were so upset for their crops and animals with the extra hour of daylight! Don't we wish?!

Actually, I love "falling back". However, I live in an area where we don't actually have seasons. If I lived someplace with cold/snowy winters I'd probably feel differently.

I agree with you, I love the extra light in the evening. The one bad thing here is the children trying to get to school and bus stops in the dark morning hours.

I spent some time this morning resetting all the clocks and plant light timers in the the house. I still have to do the clocks in the trucks and in the shop and the timers for the dogs heaters.

On the phones I just use the cell phone to call the land line and visa versa.:) to set the time.

I just love this time of year..... falling back..... looked forward to it for weeks! I don't care if it's dark at 5p.m..... I want to see the sun at 6am..... makes me "happy, happy, happy!"

I have a big old grandfathers clock and I just stop it till the time rolls around again and start the pendulum again.

Exactly how I feel too. My body is set to this time. I love cold, and snowy weather. We just don't get much snow.

I hate changing time, especially the falling back business, it takes me about 3 weeks to adjust. It's going to take much longer for my dogs, they got me up at 4:30 this morning, I looked at the one clock I forgot to change, the one right by my bed and I got up thinking it was 5:30! I understand the desire to give the kids more light in the morning but it wasn't light at 6:30 this morning when I went to the barn but it was pitch dark yesterday at 5:15 in the afternoon! It has taken my almost 3 years of retirement to get the dogs use to getting up around 5:30 instead of 4:15 when I was working, now it will take me months to get them to sleep in a bit. My girlfriend put it in a different light when she complained about it, she said it isn't fair we have to change times, she can't change her age!

Since the good Lord saw no good reason to change the time, I don't either. For millions of years the time was just fine, now quit messing with it and leave it at Standard Time all year.

The studies show Daylight Savings doesn't have the benefits it was thought to have. I don't like the dark, I prefer it to be light outside as long as possible.

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.

I love standard time!

When we had our first basenji, at her regular feeding time she grabbed her bowl and sat in front of the tv news, a place she was sure someone would notice her.
Ever since then I gradually get them used to the new time for abut a week. Funny, they never did anything about getting dinner early in the spring!

I agree with this statement personally....but if "we" have to keep moving the clocks back and forth;I say why not just "move" them to a half hour (back now) and leave time alone as it is then? That way "we" arent re-adjusting the clocks and its a compromise to" the spring ahead-fall back" notion ;)

Me, too! I love the long, dark evenings best.

I hate changing the time either forward or backwards nobody tell the animals. Having just gone back one hour.my dogs and cat expect feeding at 4oclock instead of 5 o'clock.
Will someone please invent A way of explaining the change to animals.
