7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb"
... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

I have no spare bulbs to replace the one that just blew, can anyone give me suggestions on where to get some? What kind to get?
Also, are there any special techniques available to me, you know, ones that the pros use? I wanna be a pro bulb changer.
Oh, and my friend just got a cat. She named him bubbles.

This is the lightbulb I use at home :
However I recommend we use either of these, since the wattage on the above 'light-it-up 2000' can be slightly overated imo.
