    Exclamation An Alarming Thought

    As if the campaign hasn't been long enough, it gains an extra hour overnight as Daylight Savings Time ends. This is the night to set your clocks back an hour.

    On the bright side, you get to sleep through that extra hour of campaigning...

    One wouldn't think an hour would make much difference in one's body clock, but I usually take up to a week to adjust to this new schedule. I wish they'd just leave it alone. Anyone else struggle with this change?

    Huh, we already had ours a week ago.

    I actually quite like it, here it's dark by the time I leave work even before the clocks go back so it doesn't make any difference there, while it means I get to work an hour earlier every day without needing to adjust my schedule at all.

    In the UK we had ours last week.

    I'm with PBI, I quite like the idea. It makes it a bit easier to get up in the morning and its nice and dark when I come home.

    If McCain says he will get rid of day light savings time, I will vote for him.


    ............not really, but they do need to get rid of it.

    I've got absolutely no problem with it but then my sleeping times are changinfg all the time anyway, for example Thursday I went to bed at 4am(actually Friday) and Saturday I got up at 4am so I had a rather short Friday. An hour here or there doesn't really change much then.

    What sorcery is this Daylight Savings Time? How can there be day not composed of twenty four hours?

    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
