Kitt, I use them too and never have had a flicker. Sorry I can't be more help.

Kitt, have you tried another low energy bulb in the same socket yet? Could be the bulb, however, if it does the same thing, I'm not positive, but it may be a loose wire in the switch.

TURN OFF the breaker to those light switches before removing the coverplate. It just takes a screwdriver. When you remove the switch coverplate you can see the wiring and whether or not it is connected securely. If it looks okay, then you have a problem much more complicated in the wiring itself.

I have an extra ticket to see Crosby Stills Nash & Young tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden Theater. We get them through a VIP concert ticket service that my friend's friend owns. But, we have to buy it in 2s or 4s. We only are 3 of us going. So, I would like to sell the other ticket. It is for tomorrow. It is $150 and I just figured I would ask if anyone from NY area is interested in it. Let me know if you are.

Fun, Ginger! Tim & I are going to see them in Milwaukee on the 6th! Can you post a note maybe in my folder afterward and let me know how it was- we're wondering how mellow it will be, if it'll be more of Neil's new stuff ("Living with War") or more the whole group's older stuff, etc. If you can let me know, that would be great! Thanks!!

I said they should see if it works the same with a different bulb too, but haven't heard back from them yet. It's the "much more complicated" problem I'm concerned about! I'll suggest they look under the plates, thank you.

Kaili, my friend saw them in Jersey the other night and said they were great. They do everything, including a few of Neil's new songs.
I saw them 3 years ago, and they were great. They are my all time favorite band. I love love love Graham Nash

My dad vetoed even the try another bulb idea, Urgrace! I don't think he wanted to risk the possibility of confirming there was something wrong with the switch! They've gone back to the normal bulb. It's been ok for 30 years so I've got to hope whatever the problem is, it's not dangerous.

Kitt: Asked my dad (he's a real electrical engineer & also has experience with home wiring) about your folks' light bulb mystery. He thinks the new bulb is probably a compact fluorescent. If that's the case, the problem probably isn't with the switch itself but rather with the grounding wire. He said while it's not a serious problem, if they want to do something about it, it should be pretty inexpensive & easy to fix. To check, turn off all breakers that go to the light and then see if the white wire is loose. (I see Urgrace recommended the same thing!)

It's possible there is "leakage" from the switch but he thinks if that were the case, they'd probably see a glow from a regular old incandescent light bulb too.

Thanks Calamity! That does make me feel a bit better, I don't think they're going to address the problem any more and I'm too far away to do anything myself, so it's good to know it's not serious. Maybe when I'm next there I'll have a look and see if I can spot the problem. Thanks for taking the time to ask, I appreciate it.

Yahoo! Okay Kitt, just hope the bulb was a flourescent flicker-er!

Silly questions ahead. Once a bottle of something had been opened, and then refrigerated, how long should it last before it goes bad? I have a bottle of bbq sauce, italian dressing and a jar of pizza sauce. All of which were refrigerated right after using. Usually I'd follow the if in doubt throw it out rule, but all three of them are almost full and if they'll last forever and a day I don't want to waste them.

According to a chart at the Hormal website-
LINK

Tomato Sauce or Paste- 12 to 18 months

Salad Dressings 10 months - unopened, 3 months - opened, refrigerated

Ketchup, Mustard, Pickles, & Relishes- 4 to 6 months

I'm guessing the pizza sauce fits with pasta sauce and maybe steak sauce with the ketchup category.

Oh wow, Kaili, thank you! I never thought to check a website for that info, lol. They've been there at most a month, because I know I bought all three at the same time and it pizza is on the calendar for August 7, lol.

Wargod, do any of them have dates on them? Or is that date the date that they need to be opened by (as opposed to used by?)

Yeah they had dates, all of them for 2007 but I wasn't sure if that was if they were opened or unopened.

Any kind of red, tomato based thing in my fridge is good until it starts growing mold. The extremely acid base of the tomatoes is a great preservative.

I have stuff like that in my fridge for months. The only time I throw it out is if I don't remember having used it in months, then I look at the expiration date and see its several months past that. I figure by then I better get a new bottle. The only thing I don't keep that length of time is spaghetti sauce, cause I get some with meat bits in it. Even at that, I assume the "meat flavoring" of the cheaper stuff is just something I'd not be comfortable keeping around.

Last batch of spaghetti I made, we had it for a few nights, then grew tired of it. Still lots of left over pasta as usual. I usually fry some up as a yummy side dish, but then we still get tired of it. So last time around, I got another jar of spaghetti sauce, mixed it all up in the left over pasta, then froze the mixture into containers later meals. It worked out perfectly!

On the top of the posting box, Kiersten... right beside the smiley graphic button is a drop down of font colours to choose from. I know there's a listing of codes you can use as well for more colours offered, but I don't know exactly where that's posted.

What do you see right above where you write your message? There should be a bold button, italics, etc. and three drop down boxes, color, font, and size. You don't see those??

On this Labor Day Holiday I wanted to thank all the Moderators, Administrators and other's who operate the board for their hard work.
Is there a better place to do this? I thought that this was probably a dumb question BUT there are so many threads and I am new here. Where is the right place to put my thank you?
