I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've gone all CFL with a couple of natural spectrum here and there. I foolishly bought some 100 Watt equivalent bulbs by noit paying attention and those are way bright, but otherwise I'm not noticing the CFLs particularly. Last time I made sure I had natural spectrum everywhere I really noticed it, though. I think I've got mire windows, here.

Good luck with the endocrinologist, Hil.

The VA couldn't figure out for a couple weeks that my SIL was pregnant. Of course, neither could she, but they had equiptment and tests and shit, they just didn't know how to use them correctly. So she had weeks where they kept pushing all these horrible diagnoses on her. That were wrong. When she ran into one of the stupid people months later, she held T up and said "I was pregnant, you dumbass." She really isn't tactful or forgiving. But she's pretty funny about it.

I don't like them either and snarl at JZ whenever she tries to sneak them into the house.

Can the CFL lightbulbs not be hidden by pretty light fixtures?

We got led lights for the Christmas tree, and they are SO blue. You don't notice it much when the tree is the only thing lit in the house, but when any other light is on - we are mostly CFL but have a few incandescent lights left - SO blue.

They are a bit bigger than regular light bulbs, but the newest ones manage to coil them pretty tight. Most of ours are behind fixtures now.

I have CFL in the bathroom and livingroom. I like them in the bathroom because it makes a noticeable temp difference in the summer.

I begrudge the one in the livingroom. Really, I want my halogen back!

I think tact and forgiveness need to be avoided when it comes to the VA. Or at least, the VA where they are. They've screwed up so much with her, with potentially really bad consequences, it really isn't funny.
