Once a Daylight Saving???

[Richard Ellis]

The timing seems to have got screwed up since Daylight saving came in. My availability is all over the map - none one day, two the next. Anybody else having the same problem? Since it was the USA that changed the traditional dates, you would think they would get their act together.

Nope - never missed a beat here. I sleep so little anyway the hour I lost wasn't even missed. :D

We have a trial daylight saving this summer and I can't wait for it to finish. When the maximum temperature is 39 C (like we had a couple of weeks ago) it is still far too hot to do anything at 6pm :mad: and it is dark at 7am!!

Western Australia has had three other trials over the years and a referendum at the end of each one which voted overwhelmingly AGAINST daylight saving. I don't think we daylight saving in Western Australia just because they have it in the east - Queensland and the Northern Territory do not have it.

I will get off my soap box now.

Well I think it is sheer nonsense -- it doesn't save energy since we are so much a 24/7 nation now. It is a political gimmick in my opinion. I DO NOT LIKE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.

I read a day or so ago that some wise men in the UK were proposing they should go to DST with a 1-hour shift in the winter months and a 2-hour shift in the summer. (they did the 2-hour bit during WWII, and I think WWI, calling it "war time").

I sure hope some of the idiots in our government don't pick up on this as a good idea we should do as well.

This is my first post - just been checking out the forum. I have had some problem getting the lesson. Today when I checked it said tomorrow at this time, so I guess I will wait. Does anyone have trouble with the sound? I am not sure if it is my computer or Lesson 9.
I want to thank all of you who help us newbies. I do appreciate it.:).

Hi Rusty ...

Things are always being talked about but I don't think anyone is taking it seriously :)

I think the whole lot of it is a bunch of ....'stuff'.
somehow we all get to where we need to be, regardless.
and Nancy, I don't sleep much either!:D
maybe...go 30 minutes and be done!

Just my 2 cents here. I too hate it. It is a pain. I don't think it really makes any difference. It does make it nice to be dark longer during the summer but hey, I'm not a kid anymore and don't have to be in when the street lights come on anymore.:D Indiana has the right idea. They just don't do it and they get through it every year with me problems.

Back when it was fashionable, people claimed DST was a communist plot. I lived two years in the interior of Alaska. It didn't make a difference in daylight. We had it all the time. We put foil on our windows so we could get some dark for sleeping. Boy I strayed off teh subject.
