You wanna know the fastest way to piss me off?

Say that I'm receiving $38 in overpayment then suddenly take that away and make me pay $59.

That'll do it :D.

What's worse?  Owing about $340 combined to the State of Illinois and the Federal Government this year.  Lovely, just lovely :rolleyes:

Well...I got back a whole whoppin $30 Fed and State combined.  :lol:

Interesting, we just had a CFL burn out in my kitchen stove light, and it's only been installed since November of last year. :wacko: I don't think it's the bulb that went out, though, since when it went out, we messed with it and it came back on for a few seconds, and then went back off. I'm guessing the ballast failed or overheated in this case.

Gil, this was just one bulb that failed. I have several others in my house that have been running for about 1 and 1/2 years (and are still running). :yes:

that's swell, but still. I haven't had a regular bulb ever do anything like that. And, I can't justify paying a lot of money for CFL bulbs. I will ALWAYS use incandescents.

NO! GRRRRR. I mean, I haven't had a regular bulb act weird like that. No balasts or overheating with incandescents. Sounds like CFL's are plagued with bugs.

Stop with the attitude, please. <_<

Funny how you should mention "plagued with bugs", because the bulb was, literally, plagued with bugs. :P This bulb was installed over our kitchen stove, and it had TONS of dead flies on it. :sick:

Why do you have bugs in your house? Regardless, I'm still highly opposed to CFL bulbs. I've never had a problem with incandescents, theres absolutely NO reason for me to stop using them. Besides, CFL's contain mercury. Poisonous.

I don't. Just the ones that manage to get in my house are attracted to light bulbs for some reason, both incandescent and compact fluorescent.
