Ms. Spam Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I am not alone in my overhead lighting hate! The reason for my hatred of them is that they make me uglier and hurt my eyes. As for Polish Maids - bwahahaha! It's true too. There's actually a Polish Credit Union that services Chicago and NYC maids. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Huge Polish communities in those cities. I didn't realize how unique it was until I left. My dad had to always have someone on staff who spoke fluent Polish and they drove him nuts because they would always try to barter or bargain. Like, can you examine my eyes for a nice home-cooked meal? These glasses are too expensive, I pay you $20 less. My parents grew up in a small Czech farming community in Nebraska, apparently no one tried anything like that there. Overhead lights don't bother me, but I think they went a little overboard in our house. Our table lamps are completely superfluous, I mostly keep them so we can put them on timers when we leave town.

monkeygirl Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't mind overhead lighting but it has to be done right. NO old flourescents and if harsh, they need to be dimmable. Lighting is a HUGE deal to me. I'm way pickier than most humans. I prefer incandescent but I'm getting used to the new halogen. I had some small halogen spots in my old house, in my art studio and they were awesome. Clean rays, hardly any color, dimmable without getting that horrid buzzing. EXPENSIVE but almost worth it. I prefer candle light and have over 50 holders in my apartment but I don't use them as much as I'd like to-given my dope smoking schedule. I don't want to start a fire.
