bulb" is perfectly correct

It's okay Becky, you can always play on a Roller Derby team.

I had a light bulb go off in my head this morning.

Wouldn't it be great if Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter married each other, and moved to
another country??!

OK OK. I felt my ears ringing. And I still have my teeth, cowboy hat, and slip slops! As for light bulbs, I only have one joke to offer:

How many men does it take to screw in a light bulb?
One. One to hold the bulb in place and wait for the world to revolve around them!!

Check out the "other" forum :

I was TOTALLY busted by ODH (Old Deckhand a.k.a. my hubby) on the topic of how to get my next trip planned to STT...

OOPS!

My advice to LLBL is to never attempt turning on a light bulb while in the swimming pool.
You may however, turn on your ODH there, anytime you want.

Chris - Not that I know of! I let him have a "family pass" to go out last night with the boys. Haven't had a chance to talk about it. Something tells me......no. Or if it does happen, it will be very, very last minute.

Ha ha Dream Conch - - you are quite the funny one....

STTRes,
That English thing you do, you know looking down your nose, reminds me of being on top
of a really steep ski slope, with my friends waiting at the bottom yelling for me to hurry up!

Promo's okay, he's rearranging the palm tree in his phone booth so, he can see to work.
The fronds were blocking out the overhead light, and in the way of the file cabinet drawers where he keeps
the carbon credit vouchers.

I want to know what kind of light bulb did they change? Was it incandescent, Halogen, or the new fluorescent ones that save energy.

My wife would probably ask if it worked after I had "fixed" it.

This is all very amusing.

Well, LLBL, at least he came forward to show that he was reading the forum before anything worse had come up!

Hey Promo,
I'll be going to New Mexico for the weekend, I'll look around for some good Mexican food there. Although, it might be too far for you to drive.
Adios.

Blu,
I'm sorry and I'll never do it again.
