dave, yeah, the candelabra bulbs are also an issue. And I have a great antique floor lamp from my grandmother, which lights an entire room, and it has 3 candelabra bulbs, and a bulb with a giant/oversized base that’s hard enough to replace, and no way is there a CFL for it.
ditto…there was some Filipino dishing at lunch. Some of the others weren’t very familair with some of the finer points of Filipino culture and behaviour.
Moving the UN would free up a lot of parking space with all those “diplomats” parking taking their scofflaw butts and parking their black SUVs someplace else.

They are closing the Liberace museum in Las Vegas.
Where will all the boas and furs go????
Denton popped up – welcome surprise.
Ditto, if you came by to spy on us, did you pick out where we were sitting? I was scanning the folks walking by, staring in, etc. to see if any of them could be you (but truthfully, I was looking for eye candy as the stroll to the place was 100% candy-FREE)
chandeliers lol

I always thought that the UN building would make a fantastic condo conversion project.
I’m usually on the same page politically with benson ut rarely architecturally but I agree with this.
Plus it adds a lot to the tax base. get rid of all those consulates and we have a lot of nice rowhouse porn.
bxgrl, those bulbs have the appearance of incandescent, but they do not have the lighting. I have some in my apartment now and I hate them.
dibs – There are bulbs for the smaller receptacles &, in fact, they work pretty well & seem to be worth the extra they cost. They come in a package w/ an adapter for a standard lamp too.
