Don't ALL wives do that, along with leaving all the cabinet doors open?

I've read stories where guys have removed all of the cabinet doors and put them in the attic when they do that. Like training a child.

OMG. Mine will open a cabinet door/drawer and leave it and look at me like I had 3 eyes if I question the need to have it open while she is 25 feet away doing something else. Have you ever run into an open drawer?

Sure have, David. At my height, the drawer usually hit in a VERY sensitive area.

You will still be able to buy 60w yellow 'bug' bulbs, and 150w and 200w incandescents are still available. Three way bulbs also. They are just two-filament bulbs. screwed into a regular bulb socket, you will get the lower filament. So a 50-100-150 three way bulb will give you 50w. You may have to go to a good hardware store to get these 'specialty' bulbs, but they can still be purchased.

200Watt bulbs are $8 each and WallyWorld doubled their prices on incan bulbs here.

Menards has a good supply.I picked up a few boxes of 60s both clear and frosted 10 packs for $4 each

They are $4.59 at your neighborhood hardware store. If they are getting $8.00, they consider it a 'blind' item, and are raping you.

Yup. Wally has drastically raised their prices when looking at certain products. Ironically I stopped one corner over at a Lowes and found everything cheaper. Bought a cart load of 100watt clear halogens for $3.50 or so and they are so-called double life. Now I'm good for a while
