I like Ted Poe. I've met him a couple of times and he's an absolute gentleman.

I'm sure it has something to do with Al Gore.

Or West Virginia. Robert Byrd had a nice long career.

CFL bulbs don't have any more mercury in them than regular fluorescent bulbs, so why the outcry about CFL bulbs? :confused:

This is all.They also burn out quicker even tho they supposedly last longer.

No they don't. I'm going on nearly three years with having almost exclusively CFLs and I've had a grand total of one burn out. They don't deal with power fluctuations as well as incandescents though; that could shorten the lives of the ones you're using.

Did you dispose of the one that burned out properly?

Probably because very few people have fluorescent lighting in their homes.

I have fluorescent lighting in my kitchen, my laundry room, my workshop in the basement, in the master bedroom closet, my daughter's closet, and my garage. These are all the standard 48 inch tubes.

That's nice, but it does nothing to disprove my statement.
