Who has CFL's in their home?

[JEBB]

I've got several of CFLs, the ones with spiral shape that replace regular incondescent bulbs. On the first ones I installed I wrote the date of installation.

So far they aren't lasting any longer than regular bulbs. And of course the CFLs cost ten times more than regular bulbs. So I'm not likely to buy any more. I feel I've been sold a bill of goods.
