*7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

*5 to flame the spell checkers.

*11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum.

*7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

*4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's.

*3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group, which therefore makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

*4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

*1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

*4 to say "This thread is six months old!"

*1 to say how hurtful and offensive the whole thread is to people who, for whatever reason, have made the decision for their families NOT to use lightbulbs. Followed by a six-page slinging match to include the phrases "big girl panties," "how dare you?" "I agree," and "entitled to my opinion," along with at least one quote from the Bible.

and 1 moderator to shut the whole thread down.

I'm pretty sure there was a light bulb (or lightbulb or lamp) thread here just like that.

Did you know you can use a potato to remove a broken light bulb from a socket

My husband is a master electrician and active on several electrical forums. I will forward this to him for the proper evaluation.

Thanks for the laugh.

The real answer is -0-

Real men are not afraid of the dark.

I work hard for my potatoes and don't appreciate you trying to make me feel bad about it. If you worked as hard as I do you could have potatoes too

You forgot that the OP has to come back on and make 1 last post to YAGE, then make 5 more posts about how this time they really are leaving but to justify why they YAGE'd.

I appreciate your suggestion of a potato. I only eat sweet potatoes, can I substitute those? Does the potato have to be new or can it have eyes? Will the eyes help it remove the light bulb or get in the way?

Well, I have a gift potato!

 

[mrsbert]

Should I bring up how I spell potato thus, crashing the thread and spinning it in a whole direction?

 

[Belle0101]

Well I didn't read the whole post

Was there one on there about how the owner of said bulb knows they changed the bulb correctly even though other posters have given links that inexplicably prove that they were wrong but said owner refuses to accept they are wrong?

 

[Green Tea]

Is the bulb actually in need of replacement. Maybe it is just lOOse. Before you lOse the bad one, make sure it isn't just lOOse.

I had no idea when I posted this what it would turn into. I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone. SNIFF. I won't be coming back to this thread...

 

[AshleyW]

Well my family doesn't even use light bulbs. They are hazardous to your health!!! Your kids will all grow up to be very sickly with very weird disorders that can only be diagnosed via the DIS. Don't say I didn't tell you so!
