Somebody tell me how to keep this Sunday from happening...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Daylight Savings Time just sucks. :(

[Critters2]

1. At least it's not Easter. Getting up for Easter sunrise service on DST Sunday.

My idea of hell.

[Parche]

4. Easter: Eggselent Day

Bunny how you say that today, that is eggsactly what I was thinking...:hi:

[Critters2]

7. I don't want to hear another Peep!!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

54. I prefer the birds' nests made out of coconut

I like the birds' nests made out of coconut with jellybean eggs. Yummy!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. When you eat Easter Sunday dinner...

do you use JellyBean-o to keep from getting gas?

[trof]

21. EGG SALAD!!!

Love it.
The perennial fallout from Easter.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. That's only 2 weeks later...

Not enough time to get used to DST.

[Critters2]

8. Still better than it being the first morning of DST.

Most important day of the church year, and I get 4 hours of sleep or whatever. BTDT.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. The Church should operate on flextime too.

[Ptah]

2. Move to Arizona

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. With Big Sunflower watching me?

I dunno...That's scary! :rofl:

[KamaAina]

23. or better yet, Hawai'i

and best of all, no semi-humanoid sunflowers!!! :scared:

[Ptah]

24. And what is wrong with semi-humanoid sunflowers?

[KamaAina]

26. Nothing that a good combination from a gray and white boxing cat couldn't cure

:P

[Ptah]

28. We will grow more, maybe export them

[Skittles]

56. I am going to kick that flower's ass

I am

[GoddessOfGuinness]

58. Do flowers have asses?

:rofl:

[Skittles]

69. "BUDDS"

:rofl:

[Forkboy]

3. Saturday Night Suicide?

That may be a bit extreme, but it will work. :evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. I'm looking for non-violent solutions here...

:spank:

[Forkboy]

14. Ahh...hmmmmmm

Can you fly around the world like Superman did and reverse time?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. Now there's a thought...

Let me try.
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHOOOOOOOSH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

Is it working?

[Forkboy]

49. I'll let you know yesterday.

:)

[grace0418]

5. I'm sorry for you. But for me, it's the only time of year when I get to see the sun

from Monday through Friday. I work in a horrible, sprawling office building with almost no access to windows. If I don't go out at lunch there are days when I don't see the sun at all. So for me, DST is heaven.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. It seems to me...

That instead of inflicting DST on everybody, they should adopt a flextime schedule wherever it would help businesses cut costs.

[grace0418]

16. Or I could quit my horrible job.

Except that the economy is tanking and it's not the best time to do that.

[DarkTirade]

15. Normally I'd suggest going back in time and offing the creator of it before he does it...

unfortunately the creator did a lot of rather important things over the years. :\

Out of all of his crazy and interesting inventions... THIS is the one that sticks. (*&%.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. Who IS responsible for this?

He needs a good smacking. :spank:

[Shakespeare]

17. Eeeep! No! More daylight in the evening end of the day is a good thing!

FINALLY I can hike the canyon after work again!! I've been pouty about that since last October.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. The days will get longer no matter what time we decide it is...

[Shakespeare]

39. Yes, but with the time change, I actually get a chunk of daylight after I get off work....

...without having to wait until mid-May. THAT is a good, good thing for me (and my workout regimen).

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Daylight-saving time is one of man's greatest inventions

It means we can play outside until after 9 p.m. :bounce:

[pink-o]

27. Yes, yes!

Remember when we were kids, and we got so excited that we could stay outside for an extra hour? What do kids do now--jump up and down that they get more time in front of the computer????

The only bad side to DST is that I get up @ 3:30 am to go to work--in June I find I'm going to bed before it's completely dark. I hate that--feels like punishment.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. Or you could go to work earlier

and play outside until after 8...

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. Then I'd have to go to bed earlier

to get up earlier, to...









This is gonna turn into a bit from "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House." :crazy:

[alarimer]

19. It's way too early for this shit

And it does not save energy either like they claim. It makes my days in April a hour longer than they used to be. okay, that sounded kind of dumb but some of my work depends on when sunset it, so if it is later, then I work longer. If that makes any sense.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. And it means some kids are going to school in the dark...

Not good.

[Arugula Latte]

20. If Superman reverses the Earth's rotation,

then time will go backwards. Or something.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

36. That's what Forkboy suggested

I tried it, but I don't think I was successful. Maybe I just need Superman.

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. It doesn't at Chuck E. Cheeses!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

38. Maybe that's why I like Chuck E Cheese

Sensible little rodent.

[youthere]

25. Create a tear in the the time-space continuim....

Don't know if it will stop DST...but it will be interesting to see what happens.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. Don't we have enough of those?

[Fox Mulder]

30. It's this Sunday? Already?

Geez!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. If they HAD to have it,

they could have made it happen in a respectable month, like April or May.

[Robeson]

33. You must learn to live in your own space and time.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

44. I'd like that...

but few wish to accept my versions of space and time. Must I isolate myself?

[Robeson]

48. Actually , it was kind of tongue-in-cheek....

...I kinda' ripped that off from Easy Rider. But it always sounds good, though not very practical...;-)

[bridgit]

37. Spring forward, right?

:dunce: George Harrison - Here Comes The Sun B-)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

46. Sad, but true...

Thanks for the lovely memory! :hug:

[Lil Missy]

40. That's next Sunday? Already? I thought that was in April?? n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

47. It used to be...

Until Congress fucked with it again. :grr:

[SeattleGirl]

41. I love daylight savings time.

Been a long, dark winter. I'm ready for some light.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

50. I'll be ready for light next month...

When I can wake up and find that it isn't still dark outside! :D

[SeattleGirl]

53. Oh right. I forgot it stays darker longer in the morning initially.

Not being a morning person, though, I often miss that.

[Flaxbee]

45. already??! I knew it had been moved up, but I am just NOT

prepared! Why the fuck can't we just wait until spring? Please?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

51. Maybe we should call our reps

and tell them we'd like to vote for them again, but we're going to need that extra hour of sleep we lost. :evilgrin:

[Skittles]

55. OK - GOG

unless you too have to spend 12 - 14 hours, ALL NIGHT - that's no lunch, no breaks, punching mainframe computer systems there is no way in hell you will drum up any sympathy from me :o

[GoddessOfGuinness]

60. That's why the world seriously needs

flextime...

You shouldn't have to work those ridiculous hours. :hug:

[Skittles]

68. and get this

time change is NOT EVEN MY SCHEDULED NIGHT TO WORK - but both night shifts have to work time change!!! :o

[Heidi]

57. Come to Switzerland! DST doesn't start here until March 30!

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

62. I would love to go to Switzerland...

Do they need violinists there?

[DS1]

59. You mean I'll have some light after work?

:bounce:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

63. To make up for the extra dark you'll have in the morning...

:(

[DS1]

65. SCREW the morning!

oh hell yeah!


How can we make Sunday arrive earlier?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

66. It's already arriving a month earlier than it used to.

Suckage. Total suckage.

[ceile]

61. I love DST

Come July and August it's daylight 'til almost 9!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

64. It's great in July and August...even in May and June

But in March, it sucks.

[trackfan]

67. Eight months of phony clock time now.

I complained about it last year too:
