I'm retired, and it still messes me up. And don't even get me started with my 3 cat's breakfast time!

I think it's unnecessary and the 2 cats don't understand why breakfast is late.

It is extremely silly to listen to people say by changing the clock they actually get extra time added to the day. It is only a mental game that has been marketed with great success.

It's hard to adjust to the new time twice a year. It throws off my sleep pattern.

It affects my circadian clock for a week, so I don't sleep right. While my son, when he was a baby, would still wake up at the old hour causing me to lise that hour of needed sleep. It also affects our pets who are used to being fed at certain times.

Even though I'm retired and attempt to schedule appointments mid day, the time change messes with my sleep.

Because I am good at what I do and I like it. I just wish I could come back and do it better.

THIS year's was definitely positive due to our new president! But please don't tell my pooch, she is terrified of them!

They're very beautiful, even though I know the noises can be hard on little kids and animals.

I live in the city. Someone very near us was shooting off fireworks. High flying, beautiful but dangerous for the area, thank you. I’m not sure who called the police.
