        oh pshaw. why does maria want me to boycott CFLs?? -- nm - drumstick jones Nov 2, 14:00 18
        
        cause the damn gub'mit is trying to tell us what light bulbs we're allowed to buy! -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 14:15
        
        three downs, bigger field. makes it all confusing-like. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 14:13
        
        they're being phased out. they eat a lot of juice. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 14:01 13
        
        can I have a link on this? because we just replaced every bulb at work with twisty bulbs. -- nm - drumstick jones Nov 2, 14:02 6
        
        no, I had it backwards. the new ones are less juicy. I just hate the light. - loosilu Nov 2, 14:04 4
        
        agree with the IM -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 14:09
        
        Fluorescents are not being phased out. Their efficiency standards have been raised. There are new ones on the shelves right now that meet the standard -- nm - mara Nov 2, 14:06 2
        
        once again: I had them backwards. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 14:06 1

        i think loosilu was confusing cfls with old timey bubs. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 2, 14:03
        
        oh wait, she doesn't like the CFLs. I hate them, personally. The light is a horrid color and they are not nearly as bright as they claim. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 14:01 5
        
        I'm not an artiste, so I don't need pure light. I just want to know why they're the devil. -- nm - drumstick jones Nov 2, 14:03 1
        
        what tru said. they contain a small amount of mercury, which means they should be specially recycled, not thrown out. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 14:15
        
        Color varies a lot. -- nm - psilotum Nov 2, 14:03 1

        i have no idea. is she all about LEDs? -- nm - Andie Nov 2, 14:01
        
        the mercury in the bulbs probably. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 2, 14:00
      - they have mercury in them -- nm - Karl_S Nov 2, 13:59
- dont they destroy the ozone or something? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 2, 13:56 1
  - but isn't that offset by the vast reduction in greenhouse gases? and in environmental waste? -- nm - drumstick jones Nov 2, 13:57

  - I sleep with them every night, they're fine - con_carne Nov 2, 13:58 4
    - yep, i wore them for a while. they don't block out *everything*, but they muffle tons. i still heard my alarm every morning though (but i am a light - Andie Nov 2, 14:02 3
      - I'm lucky I can hear it now. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 14:05 2
        
        then someone's snoring probably wouldn't keep you awake. :) -- nm - Andie Nov 2, 14:09

- i do not snore since i got pregnant. i *snort*. help me convince my husband there's a difference. - kare Nov 2, 13:53 1
  - the first = means longer period of no sex after baby. the second - means a little bit shorter longer period of no sex. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 2, 13:54
- Do you snore only on your back? I have heard people attach tennis balls to their backs to force them to sleep on their side. -- nm - psilotum Nov 2, 13:48
- earplugs work. so does (a) losing weight. (b) separate bedrooms. :) -- nm - Andie Nov 2, 13:42 2
  - losing weight is what helped with both my wife and me -- nm - sycor Nov 2, 13:46 1
    - Weight loss has definitely improved mine considerably, but not eliminated it. -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 13:50
- decongestant before bed? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 2, 13:40

- obviously you need to visit kc, i have plenty of house work projects you could work on for me... -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 2, 13:43 2
  - I have plenty of those to do here - why do you think I want to go *out* :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 2, 13:44 1
    - because you are a lazy old hag. wait, what? - tRuMaN Nov 2, 13:51

  - that makes more sense -- nm - z'nuff garlic 'n butter to eat snails Nov 2, 13:50
- Hmmm. The best show I ever saw was Ben Folds, alone with a piano. But... - Dr.Johnny Vermin Nov 2, 13:35 4
  - assuming znu is talking about the current Back to Bass tour, it's not just him and a bass. it's a five piece, stripped down band, behind him. -- nm - Andie Nov 2, 13:41 3
