14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the
light bulb could have been changed differently

bulb" is perfectly correct

I was tempted to cut and paste just to say 'ditto', but I won't or maybe I will later... LOL

Too funny.

Jeez---it's dead right on. That's really, really funny. Not just sort of humorous. Don't have to look too far to see it being played out. I'm definitely gonna steal it.

Becky. Are you are troll? This is totally off topic. You're just making trouble. I think you are only worried about this because the light bulb is white. If it was a black light bulb, you'd not be concerned.

The bigger issue (enter CShell) is that conservation of electrical resources is generally ignored by our government. Save the planet!

Do you think we're stupid (enter Tart)?

I'm not using any lights until we resolve this (enter Blu).

There is a parable about light bulbs who went int othe forest (enter Sherri).

Let's wait until all of the light bulbs have been changed, then see who is right (enter Ron)

What Ron said (enter Pia)

I think you are all right and please settle in while i explain myself...this could get confusing so get yourself a drink so you'll understand me (enter DreamConch)

I can only say what I think on the "other forum" cus y'all are too mean (enter Connie)

I no longer change lightbulbs, but I understand those who do (enter Teresa)

This is an outrage! There is nothing wrong with lightbulb changers and you should all be ashamed for metioning it (Weary)

Forget this thread- let's just make jokes (enter Promo)

Who did I forget?

You forgot LLBL,
Promo Teresa, Mountain Girl, Weary.

And further more, I'm the only one who's right, and I'm a lot more funny, so if you're confused,
have another drink so I can explain my jokes.

How many forum members does it take to lift the ladder Becky is standing on, and
circle around the outlet till it's screwed in???

DC, I can't take the controversy - so I'm gonna bail, along with LLBL, Promo ,Teresa, Mountain Girl, Weary.

Personally, I'm just wondering when the thread will get locked.... 🙂

Let's approach this logically (enter MG)

I'll let you knwow what I think once I surface from underneath my pool's surface. I'm still in the dentist's chair, wearing my yellow cowgirl hait, and trying to get my trip booked (enter LLBL)

I hope they don't "lock" us up.

If they have to, I hope I get my own cell.

Becky - in order for the thread to be locked, a moderator is required...

I think I need to go suck on a genip and get my lips pursed up.

Do y'all really want to lock this thread? Why is Tart pursing her lips?

I'm so confused!

If it doesn't work, it has to be George W. Bush's fault, everything else is!!

Oh man! I forgot Eagles Landed!

This thread is a wonderful way to distract attention from the less positive threads - please keep it going - I'll post 10 more like it and Pia and Ron will follow (enter EL)
