It seems I'm getting to be a little like my '82 Isuzu diesel truck. It doesn't start up real well, especially on cold dark mornings. It's sort of herky-jerky for about ten minutes, just like me. Some effing idiot in Germany came up with a way to win the war (WWI) with something called daylight savings time. Perfect psycho warfare. If he wasn't dead already, I'd kill him. Instead, I cut my lip shaving.

(7,911 posts)that now that I'm retired, I can ignore it.
Friday I went to bed at 11:00 pm and got up around 7:00 am.
Saturday night I set my clocks ahead and went to bed at 12:00 and got up around 8:00 am.
Nothing in my life changed except meaningless pointers on the face of a numbered dial. I can ignore that. My schedule, measured by the sun and stars, is the same as before.

(111,255 posts)Every year it's like going into a dark, depressing tunnel for 4 1/2 months. It was especially bad in Boston, when the only way to see the sun was to sprint outside for a few secods after bolting your lunch at work.
Keep DST year round, no more changes. If suburbanites want to complain about their kids waiting for the bus in the dark, let the schools start an hour later. Teenagers would love it.

(178 posts)And another thing, if you have DST for 7.5 months then that is standard time and rename as such. As for current standard time, that could be renamed, too.

CreekDog
(46,192 posts)but maybe why you really joined DU is:
88. His economic policies sucked and
his presidency was nothing but one scandal after another (with her eagerly participating). The republicans will have to do a tv add of one scandal every day to get all of them out in the time between her selection and her loss in the general.
Why else do you think her negatives are over 50 percent even among democrats?

well, whatever, MIRT can deal with this.

(354 posts)cut my lip shaving. It's usually due to old age and happens most often in the wee hours of the morning. Unfortunately for you, I tell the truth. I joined DU because I want to enjoy the company of people that are smart, educated and USUALLY have a sense of humor.
As far as Bill 'I feel your pain' Clintons' economic policies:
They sucked. I lived through them all the way to today.
Take a chill pill.

You wouldn't believe what my brother has managed to pull off.
Except his tongue. We had to pour water over it for a while to release it from the shelf. Coolest looking tongue wound I've ever seen.

I don't eat popsicles of any sort.

Started laughing and managed to snort a bunch through my nose.
Didn't get any dates for awhile after that.

(27,677 posts)It's a French Press. It's not complicated. Boil some water, grind some beans, mix, etc.
The problem is that I need to be awake to make coffee and I'm not awake until I've had some coffee.
One time I skipped the grinding step and mixed whole beans and hot water.

(354 posts)It's a crappy drip machine but at least it's coffee, hot and too early to care.
I do have to remember to make it though.
