Too funny Day, thanks you shed light on the topic for me . I am now enlightened and wonder how the poor light bulbs feel? If they like to be referred by their watts or their volts? what the expression "a bright light and the end of the tunnel" really means to them? anyone care to share any more light for me, be it frosted or clear?

really Diva
how much time have you spent observing light bulbs in their boxes?
snort
lol

Ugh! Seriously!!!!

Why does everyone want to CHANGE the bulb?? Why can't the bulb just be how it is and that be ok? Just because we're not a bulb in the same way doesn't mean that bulbs can't be here too. There is enough room in this community for all bulbs, red, green, purple, orange, frosted, 3-way, flood and even burnouts.

I personally am tired of bulbs being expected to change just so that everyone else can see the light and feel comfortable.

[Random]

1000157217821 to form a committy to discuse if light bulbs really even exist and if they do, then do we really need them...

[SassyLeo]

....*snort*

[waxnrope]

I think that light bulbs are fine, but what about candles? they are energy efficient and have more than one use ...

I think this is really silencing. What about those light bulbs that aren't really sure if they want to change or not. Maybe they are what they started out as but then decided that change is good. Who are we to say that burnout really isn't just a 3-way taking a break. I mean, is it really our call?

Ok look. Coming from my me place, I know that I have struggled for a place to shine in my own way. Some bulbs feel burned on the INSIDE. Not everyone WANTS to be a sparkly red or blue. And I think you have actually proven my point which is that Mahi Mahi does really have kind of a tuna taste. I for one can appreciate that.

Thanks Day for starting this thread.

Don't derail the single girl.......it's all I got!
(Was that inappropriate and random enough, 'Dusa? )


Editing so Y'all know that when I say "..it's all I got" I clearly know it is inappropriate for "..it's all I have..."

Go look.

[BullDog]

I can't believe you left out the LyteBulbs!
