Is the DST messing anyone else up?? I couldn’t go to sleep at my usual time, tossed and turned, finally got to sleep and slept until the old time when my body woke up. And discovered it was the old time so now an hour behind!🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm not sure what's causing it. DST or ds's screwy schedule. I'm currently up to 4.5 hours of sleep since dinner yesterday:banghead: Nap will happen right after lunch

I'm retired and I think it is stupid and useless. It had purpose once but doesn't anymore. There are very few family farms around these days.

We haven't changed yet, but I'm sure it will throw me. I wish we'd just pick a time and stick with it. I actually kind of wish we would switch right now because I'm home anyway. Though A is still going to school, but other than that, we don't have a schedule right now. E has test week at school that she's missing because she's got covid, so there are no lessons for her to follow along with. I can't go to work, and my husband has been working from home since E got the positive self tests, and it looks like he's got it now, too. So now would be an ideal time to switch with mimimum effect on us. But we still have a couple of weeks.

I would think some retired and or FIRE ( Financially Independent Retire Early ) don't really care about the time change.

Perhaps for some retirees, the time change might not (usually) be an issue, if they don't have to report to work at a specified hour, as in the past.

That said, some retired individuals may have other time-dependent responsibilities. Some may be caring for young grandchildren, while the parents work outside of the home. Other retirees may just prefer to schedule their days early, with specific routines (exercise, catching up with the news, connecting with friends, taking a class, etc.), and accomplish more in a time-structured framework. (Those were just a few thoughts, off the top of my head.) Basically, everyone's different, and losing an hour of sleep can throw off anyone.)

I know this is old, but I wanted to explain what I was talking about... lol. And no, I definitely don't have all the answers.

First, I was 100% wrong about the park direction at Epcot. I just got confused while on stream. I remember Martin short talking about heading to the real Canada via Spaceship Earth in the pervious Canada film, and I should have remembered that.

Secondly, when I mentioned Jack Wagner, I believe it was in reference to the breakdown narration that can often be heard throughout the park at MK (like when Peoplemover breaks down.) The weird thing is that I actually knew that Vic Perrin was the first narrator of Spaceship Earth until Cronkite took over in 1986, followed by Irons and then Dench. I even have an mp3 of Vic Perrin doing his narration that I downloaded years ago. Anyway... if I said Jack Wagner for SSE, then my brain must have been overheated. LOL. That's embarrassing.

Jack Wagner of course was the original monorail spiel narrator among other things (as you mentioned).

Anyway, thanks for setting me straight on stream and for being so kind about it here. lol

None of us are perfect.

No worries, I didn’t wanna’ seem like a total beeeeehind, so I posted the rest here, which I had no clue you were even a member of…!!!!! :D:hilarious: And, IIRC, you were pretty long into your stream, and I’m sure it’s gets beyond tiring, at some point.
Anyway, you’re usually spot-on with such things, so it was a bit unusual…I think you just may have needed a Coke…!!! ;)

I know some of my buddies that love to go to bars, one more hour of drinking during the fall time change ( bar closing 2am ). The local cops know this and set up drunk driving checkpoints all around town but that's not too much an issue with seniors.
