Michael, sorry to hear that you're in that situation. It's a very hard thing to do but you'll know when that day arrives. With an almost 13 year old diabetic it might not be that far off for me but for now everything is fine. Not fun to think about, but part of life.

I'm looking at light bulbs. Specifically dimmable compact fluorescents which keep getting better, and I need to get some for three very often used fixtures in our house. Saw a show called Kilowatt Ours on the documentary channel yesterday - happy Earth Day a day late...
