I wish your grandma a quick recovery.

Thumpalumpacus , Same with you, man.
 
I am really despising LED lightbulbs. They cost a fortune and don't last anywhere near their advertised lifespan. Maybe they mean the bulb will last that long in the box. Mine don't last any longer than the old incandescent bulbs.
At least they don't spew toxic mercury vapor through your house like CFLs when they go bad.
 
LED bulbs should last a considerable length of time.

One major killer of LEDs, is line voltage. They're designed to operate within 110vac to 120vac and if the line current is above 120vac, it shortens their lifespan and it doesn't take much.

The other issue I've seen recently, is low quality manufacturers competing against high-end manufacturers.

I stick with GE, Phillips and Feit - anything else has been a disappointment.
 
No. This is America. We still use gallons. A full tank is 15 gallons, so about $3.00 extra.
Don't give them any ideas, though.
Fuel with you guys is so cheap. We also got a raise of 10ct (euro) , but that's per liter. Still a far cry from the ~2.50 euro we paid last summer, but we already pay 1.90euro/liter at the cheaper pumps.
