Yes, there was one of those that made the paper here a few months ago. :(

Very brave for the victim to swallow embarrassment and come out as a warning to others. :thumbup:

Really alarming for those whose English is a bit shaky. They got my son a bit alarmed a few months ago...he thought it was a scam, but was not sure. My elderly neighbour gets worried with this stuff too.

I generally notice that Canadians are often utterly useless at speaking to non first language English people. They don't slow down at all, they don't pause or give them time to catch up, but just shout it a bit louder, that happens here at any rate, and they wonder why we have a problem with immigrant retention.

I wish they would not put in ceiling fixtures in rental apartments that require bulbs that are 10 bucks each and have 11 of the suckers in the ceiling.

Sounds like you've gone up market as well as upstairs. :unsure:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

We have the same bulbs in our current place, but only 4 are needed, in the new place there are many more fixtures and with the high cost of bulbs these days, nobody leaves them behind anymore, and bulbs are not included in the rent...lol

These bulbs seem popular in rentals for whatever reason, every rental we have had in the last few years used them.

No idea what makes these little bulbs so costly.

The halogen version is cheaper, but the fixtures say they are designed for LED bulbs with a max of 10 watts, so putting in the halogen version with all the heat into the ceiling is likely a bad idea...

The fixtures are similiar to this one, built into the ceiling.

Short term thinking always ends up costing more, when will planners and politicians learn?

Preident's Choice 'Poseur label' Ontario Peach Spread (jam) is very nice. But then it should be at $6 a jar.

I was wondering why I’ve been bombarded by Sears ads & sale notifications recently...
