Chinese Manufactured CFL Light Bulbs
This is very
interesting…..
Below is a picture of a CFL light bulb from my bathroom. I
turned it on the other day and then smelled smoke after a few minutes. Four
inch flames were spewing out of the side of the ballast like a blow torch!
I immediately turned off the lights. But I'm sure it would have
caused a fire if I was not right there. Imagine if the kids had left the
lights on as usual when they were not in the room.
I took the bulb to the Fire Department to report the
incident. The Fireman wasn't at all surprised and said that it was not
an uncommon occurrence. Apparently, sometimes when the bulb burns
out there is a chance that the ballast can start a fire. He told me that
the Fire Marshall had issued reports about the dangers of these bulbs.
Upon doing some Internet research, it seems that
bulbs made by “Globe” in China seem to have the lion’s share of problems.
Lots of fires have been blamed on misuse of CFL bulbs, like using them
in recessed lighting, pot lights, dimmers or in track lighting. Mine was
installed in a normal light socket.
I bought these at Wal-Mart. I will be removing all the Globe bulbs from
my house. CFL bulbs are a great energy saver but make sure you buy a name
brand like Sylvania , Phillips or GE and not the ones from China .

This Is Pretty Dang Good!
I Am the
Democratic Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare.
I am an White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker.
I am a Master leatherworker. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a
living.
I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others.
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and I believe
in American products and buy them whenever I can.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental
functionary, Democratic or Republican, that wants to share it with others who
don't work!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not
entitle you to anything. Get over it!
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do
it in English. I believe there should be no other language option.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they
want to.
My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and
Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, nor was a slave. I haven't burned any witches or been
persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came
from and change your own country!
This is AMERICA ...We like it the way it is and more so the way it was ...so
stop trying to change it to look like Russia or China, or other socialist
country!
If you were born here and don't like it... you are free to move to any Socialist
country that will have you. (And take Barack Hussein Obama and his group
with you.) Massachusetts started the ball rolling. Keep it
going.
I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the White House, the
seat of our biggest problems.
I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend Jesse Jackson
preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and
not the solution.
Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the
law, regardless of what color you are, but not just because you happen to ride a
bike
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license.
I think it's good.... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money..
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you
deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the
next four years.
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or
trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause.... Get a job
and do your part to support yourself and your family!
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two
parents....
I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !
If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.
If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know....
We want our country back!
********************************************************************* My
Country.....
I hope this offends all illegal aliens.
My great, great, great, great grandfather watched and bled as his friends died
in the Revolution & the War of 1812.
My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Mexican
American War,
My great, great grandfather watched as his friends & brothers died in the
Civil War,
My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Spanish-American War,
My grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I,
My father watched as his friends died in WW II,
I watched as my friends died in Vietnam, Panama & Desert Storm.
My son watched & bled as his friends a have died in Afghanistan and Iraq .
None of them died for the Mexican Flag. Everyone died for the American flag.
Texas high school students raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole, other
students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.
California high school students were sent home on Cinco de Mayo,
because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.
Enough is enough
This message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to
stand up for America .
We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand.
I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for
this country, and for the American flag.
If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know. I
will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.
And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

Subject: Law of the Garbage Truck!
Law Of The Garbage Truck!
One
day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a
parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes,
skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car
whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
My
taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really
friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and
sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now
call, 'The
Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full
of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As
their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll
dump it on you. Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and
spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over
their day.
Life's
too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so
... Love the people who treat you right.
Pray
for the ones who don't.
Life
is ten percent what you make
it
and ninety percent how you take
it!
Have
a garbage-free
day!

is not believing God can, it
is knowing that God will."

"It Just Hit Me!"
My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
He has his food prepared for him. He can eat
whenever he wants, 24/7/365.
His meals are provided at no cost to him.
He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup,
and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing
and nothing is required of him.
He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that
is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it
up.
He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
He is living like a King, and has absolutely no
expenses whatsoever.
All of his costs are picked up by others who go
out and earn a living every day.
I was just thinking about all this, and
suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head,
My dog is a POLITICIAN!
