Should I get rid of my standard light bulbs for those curlicue fluorescent ones?
  • Depressing? Yeah...

    Wren makes a good point, worth expanding upon. The prospect of living forever bathed in florescent lighting is *very* lamentable. Make the conversion and henceforth all who visit your den will be cursed to look like gargoyles, as will you. Maybe younger progressives will bid farewell without a tear the personally cosmetic charms of an incandescent bulb; but, my dears, you're not immune. I've seen you, too, under florescents, and it's...not good. Not good. So if we're going to do this thing, let's at least take full note of and credit for the sacrifice we're making. An instant demotion in Earth's pecking order of personal beauty would depress almost anyone. If it doesn't you, you ain't never been perdy.
