I was perfectly happy living without DST. Then we moved to Manitoba and I had to get used to the whole "Spring forward, Fall back" nonsense. Can you tell I'm not a fan?<br /><br />Thanks for letting me vent,<br />JanaJana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-11065144226554278872010-03-30T01:29:57.809+02:002010-03-30T01:29:57.809+02:00I have to admit, I'm a creature of darkness an...I have to admit, I'm a creature of darkness and a winter lover, maybe a bear in a past life? I'm sluggish springing forward in the spring and I perk up when we turn the clocks back in the fall. Must be the bio-rhythms or something...the DH says it's all in my head. :)Maeve Greysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947265251857551496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-81713678883854900292010-03-29T15:45:38.539+02:002010-03-29T15:45:38.539+02:00Personally I've never understood the benefits ...Personally I've never understood the benefits to the time change. If you need to get up with sun or have sunlight late in the day what does it matter what the clock says? Time is relative so I basically ignore the whole change. Doesn't affect me one way or the other except when I attend my RWA chapter meetings. In the winter it is dark around 5:30 and I hate to drive in the dark. The meeting is two hours away so when it ends at 3:00 I'm driving in full dark the last 45 minutes or so which means I don't attend :( I guess the DST is a plus for me then...just argued against my claim, lol!Rachel Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558320176729409822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225509207139912540.post-50713389708460034392010-03-29T14:35:06.545+02:002010-03-29T14:35:06.545+02:00I agree, I'm a summer person and love any extr...I agree, I'm a summer person and love any extra daylight I can squeeze out.

For a few weeks more, anyway.<br /><br />By the time we're in full Summer, the sun is starting to rise shortly before five a.m., anyway. And it doesn't fully set until nearly ten p.m. Why the rush to get to that??? Ugh.<br /><br />No, I'm not a summer person. Does it show? LOL! I love long, dark nights - it spurs my creativity and encourages cuddling. What more could I possibly want?Ms Menozzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480995671913061266noreply@blogger.com
