A special message from the Department of Troll Control, come and get it!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans and ban certain undesirables from using our airlines. They demand the right to criticize and blaspheeme the name of our supreme commander and cheef George W Bush while forcing multiculturalism down our throats and praising Bill Clinton. We all know however that it's totally Clintons fult for everything bad in america. Now we are at war and we must make a decision. support the safty of America and defeat terrorists, or support civil liberties and give victory to the enemy. Its all because of Bill Clinton and civil liberties that we are in this war so it is only fair that we give it up. no one said life was supposed to be fair you liberal crybabys. Dont give me that rubbish about equality and diversity. WE ARE AT WAR! If your not for Bush and against civil liberties your a terrorist! Your probably even a Communist and should be detained. Therefore fellow Americans we must throw all of our trust and resources behind George W Bush and behind this war with no ifs ands or buts. Be sure to report any and all detractors and freedom supporters to your local military and never question. Bush knows what hes doing and we will win this war once and for all. Thank you and May God bless America.

I will try to post some from there. But I am not sure how good the hookup will be. I might only be able to post text. But when I get back I will be posting.

just like this.

Takes the little tiny candle bulbs. Has at least 2 tiers of bulbs. Think it is between 20-25.

"Nice picture of a red "X," Bob!"

When presented with a red X:
Right click on the image,
Copy the Properties info,
Paste it into the Address box above your current viewing window,
Press return, view picture, and then Press back.

Often the picture will remain visible when you return.

If they come back on when tapped on, it means the bulb's filament (the part the electricity moves through) is broken, but makes contact when you move it around.

Try to find bulbs rated at 125 to 130 volts. They are made with thicker filament, and can with stand more vibration.

I knew it! You were blaming me for your mind!

Guilty as charged.

:-)

Thank you. I will try that.

I would sure hate to have the darn thing rewired...

It's too pretty to get rid of and I like it a lot.

If you can only post text once, to let us know you're OK, that's good. When you get back you can show us all the slides of your winter vacation while we stuff ourselves on ice cream!

:o]

Isn't it funny,

The question:
What wattage are your bulbs, and how many are there?... is usually answered with some variation of....

Lots of those little ones.

No offense Red, but it's funny.

My bad. Please forgive.

Those look like what we call night light or Christmas light bulbs.

Look around to see if you can find LED bulbs, perhaps in a string, to replace them.

Alternatively, you may have loose wire connections. The only part that is accessible without dismantling the chandelier is the base of the lamp socket.

Using a typing eraser pencil, with the off-white compound as its "lead", polish the bottom of the socket to remove oxidation, then blow out the little pieces of eraser.

There should be no danger, but turn the circuit off first just for general principles.

If loose wires are the problem, you may need to get a qualified, (and trusted), repair person to get into it to check and/or replace the wires. Probably depends on the age of the fixture.
