Feeling a little out of sorts

[Rye Miles #13621]

It usually doesn’t affect me but this time change has me feeling weird. Anyone else? 
 I usually get up around 6:00  but today I got up at 5:45…….but it was really 4:45 old time. 🙄Yea this time change baloney is crazy!

HATE IT 

[Subdeacon Joe]

I never like time changes.  I'd rather stay on standard time all year.

I don’t care really, I just want one or the other!🙄

I often get up wishing for an extra hour of sleep, and the clocks show it is about 6.

 

Today was different, I got up wishing for an extra hour of sleep and the devices showed it was about 7. Except the oven and microwave showed about 6, so I reset those while my coffee was brewing.

Come to think of it, I was late for pee this morning!! 🤪🤣

Changed my smoke alarm battery and it started giving me the low-voltage chirps.

The "new" battery wasn't as new as I thought -- no fault of the battery, I realized I'd had it far longer than I realized!

I'll pick up new 9-volt batteries next trip out.

Clocks are all reset, including the one my wife said to not bother hanging back up, she wants to paint that wall.

Pardon me.

I need to move some furniture.

We don't do that in Arizona.

[Rip Snorter]

Give the smoke alarm a shot of canned air when you replace the battery.Google it!  They also don't last forever.

Eliminating Daylight Saving Time!!  Oh Sure.  Just another one of those unfulfilled "Promises."  Don't hold yer breath.

I know the rest of us are jealous, well at least I am! BTW Hawaii doesn’t change either.

Best proposal I’ve heard in years is to split the difference between DST and standard time and leave it there. 
 

‘Half-daylight saving time’ could become permanent under new bill

 

While most of the daylight saving time-related bills in Congress have focused on locking the clocks an hour ahead of standard time, a newly introduced piece of legislation is taking half that approach.
 

The Daylight Act of 2026, introduced by Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) earlier this month, calls for our clocks to slide forward a half hour from where they are now, and for the twice-annual clock changes to end.
 

Though losing a half-hour of sleep would be less harmful than a whole hour, setting our clocks forward at all is still less desirable for our health in the long run, experts say. “Medically, a half hour delay would be less harmful than a full hour delay of permanent daylight saving time and would have the benefit of ending the biannual change,” Dr. Karin Johnson, spokesperson for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and co-chair of the Coalition for Permanent Standard Time, told Nexstar via email.  What if our clocks didn’t ‘spring forward’ when daylight saving time starts? However, Johnson added, it would still lead to fewer morning hours of daylight, which health experts agree is better for us. Permanent standard time would also prevent “the confusion of trying to sync schedules that are offset by a half hour,”

Whatever as long as it stops changing the @#$& clocks!

Which would take the rest of the world out of sync with us. International Business would go nuts.

[Cypress Sun]

I absolutely detest the time changes. Make it one way or the other and then dump the 'Daylight Savings Time' mirage into the history bin. 

 

And yes, I feel out of sorts today.

 No more so than it is now with the current 1 hour changes twice a year. 
 

 The proposal I referenced would split the difference and do away with the twice a year shift. 

[Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L]

I thought it was strange that my phone had a message on it that said it changed time zones. I had never seen that message before.

 

I did not realize that the time changed for most of you last night.

[Tex Jones, SASS 2263]

Try explaining time change to dogs.   Mine complain if there is a five minute change.

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

Didn't bother me a bit.

 Milk cows don’t do time changes at all. 

[Buckshot Bear]

We've still got another month still till we change to Winter time, I HATE daylight savings. 

[Buckshot Bear]

That extra hour a day really fades the curtains so much quicker!!!!

[Duffield, SASS #23454]

Let's all petition our governments  to use Zulu time.

[watab kid]

yes , i used to enjoy that extra hour of sleep in the fall but could sluff off the lost one in the spring , but this year i really felt it , i think its my elder years - im getting more set in my ways and less flexible , i wish they would pick a time standard and stay with it , the program was invented in a time when daylight made more difference - today it really doesnt

I had to look it up……..
 

Zulu time is the same as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It’s the standard time used worldwide in aviation, the military, navigation, and weather reports. The letter “Z” (for Zulu) comes from the NATO phonetic alphabet.

 

 

Key points

 

 

• Zulu Time = UTC
• It never changes for daylight saving time.
• Written with the letter Z after the time (for example: 14:30Z).

Your advice is sound, and I shall take it, thank you!

[Rip Snorter]

You may have forgot, there used to be Local Time and Railroad Time - there were even special watches.  Imagine that mess.

[Utah Bob #35998]

Time change has got me bamboozled. Instead of gettin up at 5, by the time I roll out at 6 and get situated I’m burnin daylight. Birds are outside screaming for breakfast and next thing I know it’s lunchtime! if I have to go into town it’s late afternoon when I get back.

Leave the dang time alone or I swear I’ll move to Arizona!!

im all for that - never have to reset the clocks or gain/loose an hour of sleep , everyone could calculate their time anywhere on the globe as needed , i think this is what GPS works on [adjusted for offsets] perfect solution ........and not metric so no conversion factors
