Well, guess what "They" have done now! Monkied with my birthday, that's what. For 62 years, now, I have grown accustomed to having 24 hours in my birthday every March 11, without fail. But not this year, no. Somebody up there in the Hallowed Halls has decided to extend their stupid old daylight savings time and start it on March 11.
Now I've barely been able to stand them taking an hour away from me once a year as it is. I only endure it because I know that in October there will come this wonderful day when I get 25 hours instead of 24. I plan all summer what I'll do with that extra hour when it comes. But even the thought of Fall Back day isn't going to get me over this one. I don't want to Spring Forward on my birthday. It's not fair! Doesn't the Constitution say something about everybody being entitled to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and a full 24 hours on her birthday? Who do I write to about this?

In case they don't listen to you and change the system, I think that you should just take two March 11ths, and skip March 12. Who needs a March 12 anyway (except those people with birthdays then).

I have a friend who missed his birthday completely flying to Australia one year so only one hour isn't terrible. Of course, that is easy for me to say since my birthday is in November.

LOL! I've been wondering the same thing ... mine is on December 24th, so I am lucky to get a few hours out of the day to enjoy as my own! Guess there are some things that are just too big to compete with. Have a great Birthday, this will be one you won't forget too soon!
