So..what are people's thoughts about Daylight Savings Time and such?
Good idea to switch our clocks back and forth twice a year? Do people find it useful?
Should the weeks that it happens during the year be different than they are now?

Oh, btw, today, March 14th..is PIE DAY :) 3.14....

I love it when the days get longer!! I do have a difficult time adjusting to the difference for a couple weeks, though, both in spring and fall.

I didn't have any trouble getting up early even with the losing one hour.  I like to wake up to light.

I hate losing that hour!  Especially today.  My son was up sick last night so the morning came early.  But its a small price to pay for spring!!  I usually rise before the sun so it takes me a bit to re-adjust.  Maybe a I can sneak to be d a bit early tonight.

The extra hour of daylight is a welcome change!  Winter is so dark and dreary.

I find it hard to adjust for a week or so. My body is out of sync and I still wake up at the old time which means I lose an hour of sleep every day for about a week. Yawn!!!!

I hate losing the hour one night.  But, then I remember come November I get a night with a whole extra hour.

Plus, how can you complain about there being daylight longer and longer each day?  Come summer solstice, it doesn't get dark until like 10pm here.  I tire of the long, dark winters rather quickly.  :P
