I am sure she was referring to JR who consistently downvotes Disney/Marvel releases . Honestly, its childish at best...he votes "one" without having watch the movies.

I know. But I was just stating my reasons. So i'm not lumped in too.

Don't I have that right? I can stop doing it.

[Show spoiler]BTW it is only Marvel movies some of which I have seen and then voted on. The ones I have seen deserved the rating the got.

You are only supposed to vote "If you have seen the movie". Obviously, you have not seen any of them since you always vote "1".

I live in Arizona. We're not affected by DST.

Did they see Civil War as well? It's got the lovely 1 star too. How lame.

Ugh, does anyone actually like Daylight Savings? I really can't think of a time skipping an entire hour made me happy.

I love it.

The extra light in the evenings makes the summers seem a lot longer...and I appreciate that.

Best of all, I enjoy hearing people whine about it. It hilarious as hell when I hear people complain about being tired or having trouble adjusting. Funny stuff. I'm 58 years old and I've had cancer a couple of times...and I'll wake up tomorrow, rarin' to go with no adjustment period at all required. Anybody who can't tolerate an hour change needs to go to a doctor because you are in seriously bad shape.

Bring it on!

I don't mind gaining the hour of sleep, but the losing the hour of sleep is what really bugs me, and I think most people I know. It's not about people being in bad shape. It just messes with the internal clock. Same way jet lag does. I live in Texas, and they're trying to pass a bill to do away with daylight savings. I would be very happy if they do.

[Jett Rink]

No DST here.

[Dex Robinson]

For countless generations, tens of millions of people have worked shifts. It's a 24 hour world.

At the risk of sounding harsh, if people can't adjust quickly, they are either sickly or they have a weak constitution.

I thinks it's usually the latter. Specifically, they have a weak psychological constitution. Folks are conditioned to believe that they are delicate. I tend to regard a disturbed internal clock in the same way I regard lactose intolerance...for every one person who actually has problems with their internal clock, there are another fifty people who THINK they have a problem.

I long for the abolishment of Daylight Saving Time. I hate the fact that there is still daylight at often nearly 9 o'clock at night. Ugh! Just end it already and keep the country on non-DST time. Some areas of the US already get by without using DST, so if they can then the rest of the country can, too.

Daylight Saving Time starts in March and lasts until November. It's in the summer, not winter.

How many of you remember when Daylight Saving Time began in April and ended in October? Twelve years ago, they changed it from April/October to March/November.

The 2007 U.S. change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005; previously, from 1987 through 2006, the start and end dates were the first Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October, and Congress retains the right to go back to the previous dates now that an energy-consumption study has been done. Proponents for permanently retaining November as the month for ending DST point to Halloween as a reason to delay the change—to provide extra daylight on October 31.

Makes me wonder if it will ever switch back to April/October?

I remember distinctly. It had been an annual ritual I was sort of obsessed with ("fixing" time just seemed entertainingly sci-fi -ish lol). Not so enthused by the ritual these days but I wish it went back to April/October. March seems WAY too early for this. If they don't do this, what would that mean? Sunsets at 3:30 PM in the dead of Winter and Sunrise at like close to 9:00 AM? THAT would be cool

[Batman1980]

I think tonight is daylight savings, it'd bother me more if I cared about being lucid at work.

[Waboman]

I really dislike losing an hour tonight.

[Head bugs]

I love getting up @5:30-6:00 and the sun is out, then around 6-7pm it's already dark. I'm a morning person.

[GLaDOS]

That means I gotta sleep at 8 tomorrow if I'm gonna get up for work at 5 on Monday.

Thank God I’m off the next 3 days.

i'm jealous

i have to work tomorrow and monday, off tuesday and wednesday, then work thursday, then off friday and saturday (my normal off-days every week).

that thursday shift is just messing my week up. i'd much rather just work on tuesday and have the 4 days off in a row. ah well, it's only a half-shift, so it shouldn't be that bad.


ot: changing times in the spring has never really affected me. it's the one in the fall that affects me. i always window up getting up earlier than planned on the morning of the day we change. i normally wake up about 6:00 every day. on days i don't have to work, i usually get up, use the bathroom and get back in bed for another hour or so. and during the "time gain", i'll wake up about 5:00 i'll do the same thing. even if i go to bed an hour later, it won't help. i know that's weird, but it's always been that way with me. and i can go to bed at my normal time on the spring time change and be as rested as normally would with another hour. as it is, i only sleep about 6 hours a night, anyway. and i always wake up by myself before my alarm clock goes off. i just lay in bed resting until to does, and then i get up. on off day, though, i don't set my alarm unless i have plans that require me getting up early.
