Well, seeing how Laurie David was instrumental in getting the incandescent light bulb banned, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before congress caves to her friend Sheryl Crow and mandates that we all limit ourselves to one square of toilet paper per bathroom visit.

How about wiping you're a##, you forgot that one.

Incandescent: Yes, heavy duty industrial.
I'll buy them when my current stash runs low.

CFL vs LED: As I understand, it's mercury vs arsenic. But you really have to go out of your way to smash an LED bulb.

Same here. Did you know that there is a loophole by which incandescent bulbs can still be made?

Also, I thought LED ones were great until I started looking at the manufacturing of them. Turns out they are arguably as toxic to the environment as CFL's. I'm not a tree hugger, but I'm still looking for a solution that uses the same amount of energy as an LED, but doesn't have the harmful byproducts.

I was so ticked off when Congress caved that I started stockpiling incandescent bulbs.
I haven't come close to making a dent yet.
I might consider the new LED bulbs.
But those also weren't forced on me.

My biggest gripe with them was even before I read the stupid disposal routines, it was that despite costing 10x as much, they weren't even lasting as long as my standard bulbs!

I've read those.
I will *not* have a CFL in my house.

Next up - how to safely roast Starbursts.

And if you haven't tried them, they are delicious.

Reminds me of the asinine instructions for safely disposing of a CFL which - if you haven't seen them - are just short of calling a bomb squad. They actually DO suggest calling HazMat if you break one.

Better idea: get rid of CFL's! The standard lightbulb works just fine!

yes. they have just finished their stint in Teachers For America, in which they did not make enough money to live, so their parents kept them on their insurance and they were given supplementary SNAP cards. (that's a true story)

...and I'll bet it cost more than $100,000 to publish. Who said the government doesn't create anything. More kindling, anyone?

+! here

I'd bet there is, if we just look hard enough. Lol

I wonder what they would say about my roasting a
boot sole when my feet were freezing! -- j

New Michelle Obama recommended and Fascist Regime mandated: Tofumores!

Just the thing to make your cookout safe, nutritious, and government approved.

MMM-mmm!
Tofumores!
Kids love 'em!

Anyone want to bet that there is an Ivy League PhD responsible for this paper?

Or better yet, a pool on *how many* Ivy League PhDs are responsible for this paper?

I'm actually reminded of the fall of The Soviet Union.
If I remember right, the Politburo was in a heated debate over the peoples' nylon stocking benefits.

Hahaha!! That's how I like my marshmallows also. That burnt exterior complements the inside perfectly. Mmmm! But the fact that there are government minions coming up with this crap, on MY DIME is inexcusable. This is what should have gotten torched during the sequester, not turning veterans away from memorials.

tag...you're it

Lolol!!

But I bet they want it included in Common Core content.

I just got the "update your list of contacts frequently" as instruction for the zombie apocalypse. Lol

It seems that the government has official approved protocols for everything now. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure somewhere in the multitude of official documents is buried (or not) instructions for the proper use of toilet paper, particularly after the EPA hallway defecator's attacks.
