| Or, GOTDT for short.
Basically, this is exactly what it sounds like. It is a topic for general discussion on things like what's new in people's lives, anything interesting the want to share, or discussions too small to warrant their own topic.
It is NOT a spam topic. Just make sure you realize that.
Aaaaaand go. |

| I don't know if any of you followed it before, but the webcomic City of Reality, has started updating again. T/Th.
And if you haven't read it before, I recommend checking it out. |

| The light bulb in my room just died. Again. I don't get it; the packaging says it would last, what, at least a year or two? The last two light bulbs I bought kicked the can mere weeks after I bought them Of course, I may be plugging them wrong... or something... since all non-game related technology hates me. |

| I keep wanting my lightbulb a to burn out so I don't have to get up and turn out the lights after every time someone comes into my room to bother me and flicks them on. |

Are they incandescent light bulbs or halogen? Incandescent lights last for a hilariously short amount of time. Also, how long are you leaving the lights on? If you leave the lights on for long periods of time everyday, the bulb's life will be a lot shorter. The time on the box is more or less an average of how long the bulb will last with having the lights on for only a few hours each day. I'm really excited about tomorrow. The other day I had ordered a wood carving tool, and it's supposed to come in sometime tomorrow. I just hope it'll be while I'm still at home before I leave for work. |

| The package says they're halogen light bulbs. I leave the lights on for around... 16 hours a day :S I guess that's bad? |

| Holy canoles dude. It's not necessarily bad, but leaving the lights on that long uses up the bulb's life faster. I think the average life span of a halogen light bulb is a year or two with an average of the light being on six hours a day. At least halogen lights use half the amount of energy that incandescent lights use. |

THAT'S THE JOKE! I was honestly confused why her name was orange for a good five minutes. I remember reading that thread, but I'm always kind of off an on. I'm not really around for most things that happen. Also, I guess I should ask W!tch or acid, but do you guys know if the art subforum is going to be more for fanart or can it be any art as long as it's sfw? |

Butts are fine. Also fine is VERY tasteful nudity of adults. Like, Greek Statues of women tasteful. |

So how long am I supposed to keep them on, on average? This is a serious question; any input is appreciated! |

| If you are not in the room turn them off. If you can use a window for light use it! That's what i do! |

| Sadly, I'm in the room all the time. Easter break, so I don't have classes to attend. I always turn the lights off when I leave. Window... Not enough light, because trees block most of it from coming in through my window |

| Just telling what that webcomic and/or what my country is would be no fun. Take a guess! You can ask me questions! |
