We still use those . . . a lot. Very versatile. :)

Winning that kind of money would immediately paint a large target on your back. It would certainly change your life. ;)

I like the fact that I can use a much brighter bulb in a fixture rated for a lower wattage incandescent. For me, in most cases more light is better. Old ceiling fixtures designed to hold three 60W bulbs now have three 100W-equivalent bulbs. :D I started out with Cree LEDs and not one has yet...

Do people actually sit down and THINK THROUGH what it would be like if they won that much $$. I imagine, like as not, it would be an ongoing nightmare.

Do you miss the old incandescent bulbs? How have you adapted to the change?

I really, really liked the actual eight-inch, tongue-and-groove, knotty pine paneling in my grandparents house that they built in the early 1950s. Unfortunately, that forever colored my view of this 1960s-70s particle board stuff. It has always seemed cheap looking to me. That said, I've...

I negotiate on major purchases (e.g., houses, cars). I value shop. But I never haggle over price on everyday things. Either pay the asking price or walk away.

I, too, have never heard of such geese. When our kids were young, those pink plastic flamingos became a bit of a running family joke. We somehow acquired a pair of them for the lawn. They were given the names George and Gracie (any Burns and Allen fans here?). For a couple of years they...

We still have one that we picked up in Maine in the 90's. It wasn't inexpensive. I don't really care for it but my wife does so . . . well, needs must. :rolleyes:

Great picture for this thread. @RadishRose (y)

I like the guy's hat in picture #4. If I saw one in a store, I'd buy it! (y)

I told the surgeon that I wanted to be able to see the front sight and the 10 ring clearly. A shooter himself, he didn't need any further explanation. :LOL:

For us, Christmas is a glorious time but our joy has nothing whatsoever to do with gifting, Santa, or decorations. (y)

At any give point in time, 98% of the earth's water is salt water. Of the remaining 2% that is fresh water, 87% is locked up in ice near the poles. Of the remaining 13% of freshwater that is liquid, 12% exists as groundwater and only 1% is found in lakes and rivers. Of that 1%, about 21% of...

I used to love motorcycles. Cars are obviously fine. That thing looks like it offers the worst features of both. No! No! No! (n)
