Electrical/light bulb question

I’m in the process of setting up my seed starting area, and trying to figure out lighting.  I have a batch of small light fixtures that I used to use for my fish tanks, that all say to use type A bulbs.  Which is the “normal” type bulb.  Which is all well and cool….but looking at bulbs that come in the right type of light needed to grow plants and what not, can I put a PAR bulb into these as long as the bulb itself otherwise fits and I don’t go over the recommended wattage?  It looks to ME like they’re the same kind of base, but I hate to assume when it comes to electrical stuff…..


Who or what

is Gunspec.com?  They’ve linked to me as one of “Five Northeast Gun Sites Holding the Line”, and while I suppose any additional traffic is cool, I could point them to some far better (IMO) blogs for that purpose.  An internet search doesn’t net much about them, other than that TTAG likes them, which I’m not sure is a good thing…..


The entitled youth of today

Found via Lagniappe’s Lair:

Megan Thode as decided she’s a special snowflake.  After proving incapable of maintaining a professional demeanor in class, thus earning herself a C+ in a class where a B was required to move on, she is now suing school for allowing her to not move forward in her chosen program.  After all daddy works there, so she wasn’t even having to pay for her education, so why SHOULD she have to meet the requirements?

Yah, I didn’t think so either.  I hope the judge forces her to pay the school’s court costs.


Blog looks

Doing some playing around with additional work with child themes and might change up some colors while I’m at it.  If something looks screwy please let me know, or if you see a color set that looks off to your eyes also please let me know, otherwise I’ll assume the changes don’t look bad!


Comment moderation

The number of spam messages is simply nuts.  I’ve already shut off commenting on older posts, and have a quite long list of sites and emails and the like that automatically puts the comment in the spam column.  And I’m still catching spam comments several times a day.  So now I’m turning on the function where everyone’s first post has to be approved by me.  At least this way I can keep the spam comments from getting air time.  I’m not sure what this means for those of you who’ve commented before, it may require me to approve your first comment too.  Just an FYI.
