Boy, I am glad I am not the only one with this short life problem. I buy 
CFL's at Home Depot and 3 months later they go back but it is getting to be 
a royal pain to keep track of receipts & dates.
So back to incandescents.......

Anyhow, 20 years from now, I doubt you'll find a CFL anywhere. Fragile.

20 years from now you won't find many of us either.

My 2 cents
