Got mercury poisoning

This is one of the reasons I bought 4 dozen 100w incandescents before the ban.

The other reasons:

• Florescent light is unnatural and just plain sucks.
• Even the highest output compacts are too dim for reading.
• I'll be damned if I'll let libtard, tree-hugging environazis dictate my lifestyle.

We thought we’d save money “as advertised”.

When your light bill is almost $700 a month, you look for ways to cut back.

This was not a good way, obviously.

You can still find 100w incandescent bulbs. Most large chain home improvement store don’t have them anymore but I have had good luck at some dollar/discount stores.

100 watt incandescents are still available. I think so far they’ve only banned the 40 watt bulbs. Mainly because most light fixtures say “40 watt maximum”. If the fixture holds 2 bulbs, put on 75 watt bulb in it. If it hold 3 bulbs, put one 100 watt bulb or 2 60 watt bulbs in it.

60, 75 and 100 watt A19 and A21 medium base incandescent bulbs are still being sold at Home Depot.
