luckily I'm tall enough to be able to change a light buld without resorting to a stepladder. I just make sure I use shoes with rubber soles.

I am quite happy to report I didn't spot any spelling errors...I could be wrong, I'm not as astute as Richey or Mugabe on these matters....However, Hal, did not start his sentences with capital letters......

This forum isn't about light bulbs!
Well, I think this URL here goes to show that there is a connection between the Sisters and light bulbs (check the entry for Doug Engelbart), however tenuous it may be, so they are a valid topic for discussion.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
