    My house already has CFL's but I have LED bulbs from when I moved this summer. I replaced all of my bathroom lights and dining room lights with LED and then I used the CFL's to get rid of the incandescent bulbs in the garage.

    I moved facebook, twitter, and pinterest off of my home screen on my phone so they wouldn't be readily available to check.  We will see how long it lasts.
