| Is it the light or the buzzing sound? The light has never bothered me, but the sound by my head is torture. know LED bulbs don't make that sound, and last longer than compact fluorescent. I think The CF bulbs will probably start to go away once the price on LED lights goes down. Both, I notice a sl... |

| I have a light dimmer switch so the light intensity can be turned down a lot. I think it helps. I am not sure that florescent light bulbs can be dimmed without damaging them, unless that newer tech has some kind of dimming technology added. Have you tried LED lightbulbs? They're quite expensive but... |

| I have read about Dr. Gabor Mate and while I don't agree with some of the things he says, but there is some truth about the destruction of society caused by the ruling class that has enslaved us through capitalism.

| The first thing you should know is that you are not a "Weirdo", that is only a word someone like a NT that doesn't understand you would give. If you lived in a country where everyone was like you, you would be the same as everyone else and normal. Here you are as equal is everyone else. |

Hopefully, here I can come to understand myself and others better. PS. The Binary in the title converts ... |

| As Incandescent light bulbs are going to be banned what is everyone else in the community that is sensitive to Compact Fluorescent Lights going to be doing? I don't know if I should stock up on a lifetime of the old light bulbs, the problem is I don't have much room to store old light bulbs. I wish ... |

| As a child I avoided parties, sometimes I would get invitations at school and I would throw them out before I got home, so my mom wouldn't see them. |
