Question for one of ya'll handy type guys.
One of the bulbs in my ceiling fan just blew off its top! Now the screw-in silver part is stuck in the socket and I have no idea how to get it out to change the bulb. Any solutions?

Well first of all be absolutely sure there is no power going to the light or you will get electrocuted or shocked very badly. We do not want that to happen. Then sometimes you can grab what is left with pliers and twist what is left out. I hate when light bulbs do that. And remember
Make sure there is no power going to it

If I turn the light switch off in the room, is that good, or do I need to throw the breaker switch? Geez. I hate to be so pitiful. My cousin has a handyman, but she has to watch him and instruct him on the fine points! I don't want to borrow him! :P

I think I would completely turn the power off to the fixture. The light switch may work, but we don't want to take any chances. I would say be safe rather than sorry. And you don't sound pitiful.
