Good afternoon denizens of the DIC! I wish you all a great day...

As usual, you’ve done a great job with the Ask An Author feature, Carlos. And, thanks to all the authors for their interesting and insightful answers.

I’m in the same time zone as tim and Def, but my brain is calling for tea not sleep, so I’m going to have some, before I head off to bed. Good night DiCers...

I was going to say it’s because you’re a night owl, but I like your explanation better.

It is isn’t it? Good night BB...happy dreams

Good night Def...happy dreams

Good night tim...sweet dreamz tonight and always

I’ve heard about that method, but it sounds messy to me. I can just picture bits of potato stuck on the socket - with my luck, anyway - and just thinking about trying to clean that out? No, just no...

Feeling quite impressed with myself, I am. I was changing a burnt out bulb last night and discovered the new one wouldn’t screw in for some reason. Well damn, the end of the old one broke away from the bulb and was stuck in the socket. What to do, what to do? Why ask Mr. Google, of course, because surely he knew what to do. Sure enough. he did. Cut the power to be safe than used pliers (they need to be open and pressed against the sides of the silver piece ( no idea what it’s called) and turned the pliers to unscrew it. Lo and behold, the silver piece came loose and I was able to get it out, so I could put in a new bulb. It may may just be me, but I found I had to use two hands, because I couldn’t keep the pliers open doing it one-handed. I know I’m probably preaching to the choir for at least some of you, but hey, I learned some new and helpful (no need to purchase a bulb extractor tool) so I thought I’d share it with you all.

and quite wonderful, too.

Bit late, but anyways. Good night tim... sweet dreamz tonight and always xoxo

It’s pretty as a picture when seen from inside where it’s nice and cosy.

It’s snowing quite merrily now....lots and lots of big flakes.

Hey tim It’s like blink and you’ll miss it, but I can see snow blowing around outside. The gloomy gray clouds kinda rule right now.

Beautifully said, tim. Good afternoon everyone and have a great day...

Good night Thorn...happy dreams

No, thankfully, but the mess - not how I planned to spend the start of my day. Oh well, it’s Saturday, so I have time to make another full cup, so, there’s that.
