Totally agree about gas for cooking. And good idea about TVCHer names adorning each brick! Lance, how inspired! Wasn't sure about halogen bulbs. Good caution, there, Lance. I have no idee whut you talkin bout with them there sodium vapor babies, though!

Sodium vapor lamps took the place of mercury vapor lamps for many streets. They are better environmentally speaking, and they are probably the brightest lights used for streets that i'm aware of. They give off kind of a yellowish light, especially at first being turned on. It is a very bright light. They aren't used in stadiums because of the yellow tint issues. Spy, I'll by a brick.

Oh! What did I do? Besides getting Weinermr a floor lamp, you mean? Sheesh, you people don't want much. I thought that was a great accomplishment for one day. Okay, okay, here is what I did. Mentioned the almost perfect not available ones to Bigdog, and he liked the idea of the white. We decided to look again at the halogen ones at the local lamp store. I think I ruled them out before because of price. Then I went to take my shower. And then I ate my salad. And then I realized I might be in trouble with Tess for blocking up the trivia thread if she was waiting for me. And then I thought about Spygirl's house and how we could all shop for it. And then I decided I might order the white Tabbyking smartbargains lamps tomorrow. They better not sell out overnight!! Ack! Thanks for all the help, everybody. It sure was fun.

Didn't know that! Thanks, Lance. This is the kind of male (??) tidbit that always makes me scratch my head, wondering where I've been and why I don't know these things! Ahem. Now see how sweet you are, Mr. Hands- Clutching-the-Microscope!?! (Whereas I sometimes risk being slightly offensive simply TRYING to be slightly humorous.)

i know they went to sodium vapor for airports, too. supposedly, pilots flying over large cities were blinded by the myriad 'white' streetlights when looking for runway landing lights and the yellowish light helped. not that i think anyone will be flying into juju or spy's houses, but evidentally, we can just tie a message to a brick and fling it spy's way when the time comes! damn. didn't i say i was going to bed at least half an hour ago? time to brush my one remaining tooth......

oh, i think if spy charges each tvch'er about 10k a brick, she should be well on her way to a house to rival that of jim and tammy faye baker's dog's house, don't you think? a/c and all.....

tabby honey, if i had 10k, i'd be getting me a paint job (see "What do you drive" thread). and then spy could get her own dang air conditioned dog house! besides... ummm... why would we be building spy a separate guest room for juju? she can't stay in the house? you know...there are too dang many questions for a monday!!

i did see your 'what i drive' post, landi, and i giggled because i think you are the most educated person in the history of this board, but have no pretensions whatsoever that makes you doubly loved, IMO i set the brick price at 10k, so spy would only have to hit up a few dozen of us tvch'ers LOL

Oh, and last night while I was brushing my teeth, I realized I need a floor lamp too!!!!!1 Hahahahahahaha! Oh well, tonight is another night, and I know about smartbargains now, thanks to Tabbyking. Haven't gone out to the lamp shop yet. Might have some more viruses. I got hit twice last night and once this morning with e-mails with virus attachments, and even though I didn't open the attachments, my computer started doing a couple mildly screwy things. Maybe we can shop for floor lamps tonight? LOL.

Hey! Lookee here! I was just about to finalize getting the white lamps on smartbargains when I decided I might as well look at floor lamps there too, and I found this light I liked about as well:
AND they have it in stock in polished brass!!!!!!! Hahahahahaha!!! Went this morning to Target. They have lamps, but no wall lamps. Went to lamp store and looked at halogens. Lance is right. They are hot. So might get two of the one above. After I get done looking at floor lamps.

juju, didn't you look at that page last night?! once you got the page up, you could go to other pages, you silly girl! make sure you put the items in your cart while you are still looking. that will hold them for you; otherwise, they could sell out. i actually held two in white for you last night, LOL. when you didn't seem to be convinced, i removed them this morning. i was holding them in case all the rest went, then i could make sure you and i were in at the same time, where i would empty my cart and you could snatch them up

Hehehehe, no, Tabbyking. I got tunnel vision once you found the perfect one for me, and then when they didn't have it in polished brass and I decided to go look some more, I didn't even think to look at the rest of the lamps. Okay, so now I have two of the ones in 1:50 pm post in my shopping cart while I finish looking at floor lamps. Thanks for holding my hand, er basket, lol.

Yes!!!! And thank goodness, Dra, since I just finalized my order at smartbargains.com. AND, I got such a good deal on the wall lamps that I went ahead and got a new foyer light that I have halfway been looking for for some time. Here is the foyer light:
It is a Quoizel, which I have come to find out in the past couple days is a very good brand of lamp. The two I originally posted in this thread were Quoizels.

juju, quoizel is a very good brand and when it's an item on 'the price is right', a pretty expensive brand. i liked this foyer light, too, but we have a cathedral ceiling in the entry hall and have a massive italian murano 3 section thingie from an old hotel. dra, thanks for the laugh on the floor lamp.

Dra, I LOVE that lamp you found for me. Or, actually for someone else on the board. Good thing I didn't see it last night, LOL. We would be changing to a jungle theme. Yeah, Melfster, it was a very good shopping trip. LOL. I like the 3-fer too.
