I had to pay 7 damn dollars for a single light bulb yesterday

[Gracie]

I have a huge box of lightbulbs...all from yard sales, already in old funky lamps. We either scrap the lamps or donate them to thrift shops...but not until we take out the bulbs!

Is it next to your stash of rotary phones, Betamax VCR's, manual typewriters, and disco 8-tracks?

Yeah. And that funky styrofoam wall clock in that funky stash pile out in the shed brought me 700 bucks on ebay, so read 'em and weep.

Oh, great. Another thread about the slippery slope from light bulbs to FEMA camps....

This isn't just a slippery slope. This is a greased rail. The guvmints going to put us in the FEMA camps with no light bulbs. Of any kind.

We will all be in the dark just like the Republicans. Damn Obama.

I have candles out in my junk pile.

Why??? WTF was wrong with traditional bulbs? What government entity thought this was a smart idea? Did they include subsidies for the poor to be able to afford these bulbs?

Got a cellphone? Eat fastfood or delivery pizzas? Have cable tv?

If so, shut up. You enjoy wasting money, you're just too lazy and/or stupid to have shopped around and probably found a bulb for a lot cheaper but couldn't get a refund.

CFL or LED?

CFL Reveal I assume. It was the only 3 way bulb available at my grocer. And I wasn't gonna make a special trip somewhere else for one bulb.

You bought a much more expensive bulb ( a three way) at an expensive place to buy bulbs (grocery store).

But it's all Obama's fault you paid 7 bucks for a bulb.

I think this one's on you.

Where did I mention Obama? Paranoid much?

Now there is some sound logic. Consumers using cell phones deserve to not have choices & be gouged at the same time.

Hows life in your straw hut?

I rather pay $7.00 for a light bulb than a bottle of Listerine since the Light Bulb will last a lot longer


Still $7 is High

Correction, consumers with the newest IPhones should not have choices lol

Just think, you'll die wa-aaay before it burns out.

Incandescent light bulbs cause climate change so they had to go as do cow farts not sure how they will accomplish that one.

1. Invent a flatulence capture device.

2. Pander to the left.

3. Fuck over average Americans as you rake in the profits

Was that light bulb to replace the one that appears over your head when you have a good idea?

...because you could really use that one...

And Wavy Lays! Have you seen the price of those suckers these days?????

 

[NYcarbineer]

I can't imagine why anyone would use incandescent bulbs anymore.

 

[NYcarbineer]

But on the bright side (no pun intended) Grampa got a steal on AA batteries,

only 4 bucks apiece!!!!!!

He's got to cry about something...anything...besides his own choices.

It would be cheaper to buy corks and stick them in the cows ass though that would be one hell of a gas attack when they popped out.
