THE GREEN GUY!
With everyone going "Green" I had already replaced every lamp in my apartment with these cool twister-looking bulbs. Don't they look cool and inspire you? Other changes: I've had it with Cable TV, so I canceled it and don't miss CNN's Glenn Beck or their news segments with that silly game where people e-mail captions to stories and Anderson Cooper has the embarrassing task of playing along with Erica Hill (replete with Musak playing in the background with sound effects).
Hey, a friend of mine in Florida was picked out of the phone directory to have her home made greener by the local utility company. It was very cool. She had loads of new appliances and energy-saving stuff installed! It was FREE! So she called me sounding very excited!

Michael, good to see you going green!
Due to my husbands position, we have been using those bulbs for the past 5 - 6 years. Several years ago, the national energy conference gave them away to each state director to use before they implemented them into their programs. They do last a long time.
One thing I noticed is that they take an extra second to light up after you flip the light switch, and a couple of my lamps has a low "hum" while they're on.
Carolyn: Wow, 5-6 years! The packaging is right then!! No hum in mine, but, The Rolling Stones "No Security" CD contains their song "Flip The Switch"! ;)
We have changed most of the bulbs in our house and we love them too. Plus we are working hard to keep things turned off and unplugged as often as possible.
Have fun saving energy!
So green guy. You've planted Kermit the Frog's song in my head - It's Not Easy Being Green... :) Have a great weekend.
Working on Relay and thinking of Gunnar. Thanks for the intro....
Snoopmurph! AREN'T WE COOL? :D)!
Kinnichick: I will be introducing another boy next week who is 2. Great news about the Relay! Very Positive!!!:)
Hey Michael,
I think it is cool that going green can save some green.
Thanks for a cool post.

Glenn: These bulbs are cool in themselves! :D
I changed over most of ours quite awhile ago and really didn't see any savings..."YMMV", as they say...
Yep I love the twisty bulbs and they even come in COLORS!
mr. l: Hey, thanks for stopping by! I have replaced all of the lamp lights with those twizlers. I will look at my bill and see if anything has improved! I'll be by your site for a visit!
Hey Patti: I DID see a Green one standing in line at Home Depot. You're right! :)
