This is not a joke. The question is -- how many quilters does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is -- more than this one quilter writing this message!
I can't believe what happened. The light bulb in the fan/light in my dining room ceiling burned out. So I tried to unscrew the bulb to replace it. I have done this many times in the years I have lived here. The bulb came out -- unattached from the metal part that has the threads. So the little metal part is still threaded into that ceramic-like light socket.
How do I get it out?
I tried a pair of pliers to twist it. Little metal pieces started breaking off.
Luckily I also have floor lamps in the dining room. That's where I do all my quilting. And it's right by a window, so this afternoon I have enough light.
Please tell me there is an easy "duh" solution.
