oooohhhhh, aaaaaahhhhh! Where diid you get that?

From a lady on Ebay, don't know if I can post a link to her store here but I can PM you her store link if you like, she's got lots of pretties, very reasonable prices compared to most of the custom work out there.

ETA: She's also got her own website here: http://usaglassdriptips.com/

Ok, so....Iffy likes these, some think it may be too much heat for a cover on em, Bells says CR hasn't reviewed em yet.....what's the general consensus on these ones for a good all around use in anything in the house bulb???
I'll let you know when I get them. I ordered the maximum allowed number of 3, supposed to be here on Tuesday. I needed a new 3-quart sauce pan too, and that was enough to meet the Amazon Prime free shipping for the bulbs. "Fully enclosed" and "covered" are two different animals. I have plenty of fixtures with covers that are not fully enclosed, and that's where I'll put the bulbs.

Confused about the petition Ken......It seemed to be geared toward Floridians, would it do any good to have non Floridians sign it?
There's no way to know the location of the signers, since all that's asked is name and email address. Physical address is not requested. Sign it! If you do, I'll let you slide for mentioning your affections for FauxNews, lol! (They're still a fine collection of ignorant and often physically attractive bigots, though. I watch them enough to keep up with what the misled are thinking. I subscribe to TownHall and Jack Kingston's newsletter for the same purpose.) Flame-proof suit on!

Love Roku. We still have Dish, but have the Amazon prime and netflix, although haven't been watching netflix too much as of late. We take spells with it. Have been wondering about hulu, but it would have to be good enough to replace netflix.



Love me some TCM!! I bout had a cow when DISH took it off, but it didn't stay off long. Seems like they took off a lot of channels to see how much of a stink folks would make about it. They heard from me as well, when they took off Fox news too for about a week or two. Jup I'm one of them! lol Was very glad they put that back too.



So sorry hun......hope it's better soon.......and you too Run......and you too Janet!! And anyone else who may be feelin poorly, injured, or in Run's case, both!!
Netflix has a new series from Marvel. 10 episode series of Daredevil available for binge viewing as of April 10th

Summertime, summertime, sum, sum, summertime. I can't wait for summertime!

True about covered and fully enclosed, but we have both, and I don't want to have to remember which bulb goes where, cuz that aint gonna happen. lol that's why I said all around, anywhere in the house bulb.
As to news.......same can be said for some folks on all of the major channels! But I won't put down what you watch. :)

oh....and forgot to say that is a gorgeous drip tip Kim!!

I watch it all... a politically aware animal am I. Frankly, I would not order the Philips LED bulbs if there was a possibility of me putting them in fully enclosed fixtures. In fact, I can use all 3 of the ones I'm getting in open or semi-open outdoor fixtures and then I won't have to worry about it any further. Probably safe to put them in enclosed fixtures but since I don't know for sure, I'll put them only in locations that are not fully enclosed.

thanks bells. By the time we see how Iffy's fare in all fixtures, something else will be out. lol Or prices on others will drop. It'll likely be a bit before SIL is interested in actually getting these bulbs, but trying to learn about them before hand.

I completely agree. Prices can only come down, IMHO.

I must admit that I'm not familiar with Greg Gutfeld, although it's quite possible I have heard him without attaching his name. Anyone who speaks sense about vaping is a friend to me. I don't know of any reason for vaping to be a partisan issue.

Ok.....now for some closer to home (for all of us) vape news. This was posted by Rolygate, seems next week, ECF will be moving to a new software. Hope there aren't too many growing pains associated with it and that it ends up being a great thing. Regardless, seems like it's necessary to keep ECF on the air so to speak.

There isn't anything in the petition that asks where you live, so go for it. Just your name & email address. You'll get emails but can block or unsubscribe later.

already did, cuz the petition itself said "we Americans believe" I'm one of them :) No idea if they'll check them or not, but with name and email, I have no doubt they can find where you live these days.

Ok, read the petition and it said.... we Americans believe ........ I'm one o them, so I signed it :)

So... Yes. If you or any member of your family could visit the Sunshine state anytime in the next one thousand years, every signature will help.
I make sure to sign any such petition regardless of state or country. Some won't let you, but I always give it a shot.

Amazon.com: Philips 433227 60 Watt Equivalent SlimStyle A19 LED Light Bulb Soft White, Dimmable: Home Improvement

Ok, so....Iffy likes these, some think it may be too much heat for a cover on em, Bells says CR hasn't reviewed em yet.....what's the general consensus on these ones for a good all around use in anything in the house bulb??? Don't need dimmable since we don't have dimmer switches.

Those are the ones I got at Home Depot. Been in use for about five months now - no problems. They do generate heat though - thus the warning about not putting them in an enclosed fixture. They are kinda weird looking because of their flatness but it does give off 360 degree light. We have one in a desk lamp with dimmer that has a "half shade" so to speak so the bulb is partially visible, and that one looks odd because it 'lands' at at angle once it's screwed in place. Don't care - it's nice to have an energy efficient bulb in that one that works with the dimmer again. For a 60 watt equivalent bulb these suckers are bright. Better than incandescent and a lot better than older CF bulbs.

And... the price on Amazon went back up to $4.97 - which is what I paid for them at Home Depot. :2c:
