Luckily I gave them baths this afternoon or else it would have been another night without a bath b/c I'm so tired and down in the evenings.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Sue, I know what you mean about the dark... Have you thought of buying the flourescent bulbs? They are rather expensive, BUT, they are so much cheaper to use and the don't burn out fast either. You can get 100 watt bulbs that use only 15 watts of electricity. I love them. I have slowly put them in all the rooms now... SOOOO much brighter. --- Sue Huls sue@...> wrote: > Oh boy do I hate it when our time changes. It's 5:15 here and it's > already getting dark out side.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 We have the ceiling light also, the kind in the ceiling fan. The light we got say bright white. I hate that yellow tinge that flourescents had, but these don't seem to have that problem. Maybe there is a difference? I got some of them at W-mart and some we bought at Sam's (4 pack for $20). --- Sue Huls sue@...> wrote: Kathy, We've tried them but to me they make the outside of the room look more yellow.
