With all the different boards I am on, I have seen this happen with all types of subjects. Just substitute anything else for "lightbulbs" and there you go. :)

You forgot......


Don't use lightbulbs!!!
They are bad for your health and waste a lot of energy.

Record how much energy you use for one week and all of your allergies. After that week, DON'T USE any lightbulbs. You will see that your energy use goes down and your allergies will be better.
