Every time I go to the grocery store I pick up a pack of 60 watt incandescent light bulbs. I think the compact fluorescent bulbs suck and when they die, long before their advertised life span is up, I throw them in the trash.

I will not deal with the mess that has been inflicted on us.

Use incandescent in the winter. (They give off a lot of heat)

Use fluorescent, LED, etc. in the summer.

Since you only use them part of the year, they should last longer as well.

Bravo! I hate the dang things too. One of them ruined one of my sockets in my office fixture. It really popped and I had to clear the dogs and myself out of the house and air it out for a half hour before I felt it safe to go back. That bulb along with all of the other hopey changey ones I am forced to endure will go into my regular trash. I will be damned if I will make a hazardous waste run to the dump with six dollar a gallon gas.

Same here - my goal is to have a lifetime supply by 2012. I may buy extras and sell them at a premium to the suckers that didn't think ahead.

Guess the muzzies in the White House won’t be decorating for Christmas this year.
(They’ll use ‘saving on electricity’ as an excuse)

The curly CFL bulbs are ugly and are awful dust catchers. Do not want.

Oops! You're not supposed to throw them in the trsh, becauase they can break, and when they do, it's up to you to spend about an hour following all of the iinstructions to clean up the glass covered with toxic mercury.
