My lamp shades that snap onto the round bulbs? Sorry, but they'll be useless too. And these "wonder bulbs" that are supposed to last for 4-7 years? They DON'T. We've only been in this house for 3 1/2 years, and didn't start using them until about 2 years ago. We've had four -- FOUR -- go dead on us. This one today was probably in the kids' bathroom for a year. And these things are NOT cheap! I bought a box of 6 today (60 watt equivalency) for $11.68. Ugh. If this is progress, take me BACK, please.

Fallish Fun at Wally World
Gotta love the candy overload at Wally World, just before Halloween! Lookie here:
Orange is my LEAST favorite color. Still, I usually spring for one bag of these for the kids. I've never liked them much, but I notice that they disappear in the candy dish at home :)
And see what we found in the center aisle everything-you-could-need-to-bake-during-the-fall-season display! Giant marshmallows for campfire roasting! I've never, ever seen these before. What a great idea! These monsters must be twice as big as the regular "large" ones. Super-size me! Well, actually I didn't buy any, even though Julia would LOVE some.
I did get this little box. It's the flavor -- pumpkin anything! I'm not excited about the "instant" part of it though. I prefer cooked pudding, from scratch. Might need to dredge up a recipe on that one, and let you know.
This last pic is NOT a fun item from Wally World today. This one is a disappointment. We all know what's going on in the world of light bulbs these days. The old round ones are soon to be gone forever. We're left with these:
