Turning the switch won't always guarantee that. Next git ya a tater. push it up in the there and then turn and you should be able to unscrew it that way.

No sir -- you aren't too late. I haven't done it yet because I'll have to restart my computer and stuff when I throw the breaker, so I'm procrastinating-- it's on the same one as the light. A potato? Like a whole raw one? Do I peel it or leave on the skin? :P
You Georgia boys! ;D

Yep, the potato idea is out there. I heard that you should cut the potato in half, then press it against the broken bulb, then turn it.
Speaking of those new bulbs, I haven't had much luck with them lasting longer than regular bulbs, especially in my kitchen ceiling fixture. My friend thinks it's because that fixture takes a lower wattage, and the new bulbs are a higher wattage, which makes them burn out sooner. ??? I don't know, but I was bummed when they burned out, because I thought I wouldn't have to haul out the ladder to change the bulbs for a good long time. >:(

I thought they were supposed to last a number of years as well.

Tell you what, I got a bunch of those new light bulbs for Christmas, too. I actually asked for them! :o My dad likes them, and I thought they were supposed to last a long time and cure global warming. :(
Meryl:
Well, if they conk out early, let us know. Hope you have better luck. ::)
