You know your old when ...your son and his BFF invite me to tag along with them to see the new star wars and my initial reaction is way too excited because these 18 year olds dont mind hanging out with me because I AM that cool and second I get nauseous in theater because its 3D. Hmmmmm when did that happen? I never used to get sick during 3D

It's hereditary. My mom used to run an antique lighting shop... I'm used to fancy pants ambience and something about LED lights rub me the wrong way. Possibly because I can't help associating them with all of those cheapo flashlights that betrayed me while out in the woods in the rain at night, and fluorescent light bulbs (different, I know), which hypothetically can give you cancer.
LEDS are actually the opposite of flourescent bulbs. Flourescents give off radiation, LEDs don't because they don't operate via chemically reacting gases. They're just little semiconductors. When electricity is connected to an LED, it makes photons which is just pure unadulterated light. It's what light is made of. If you're looking at any type of light you're looking at photons. Its almost like magic.
Here's an explanation. You only have to watch the first 50 seconds to understand it..

It was, and being related to antique dealer definitely has it's perks... having to load and unload their recent purchases isn't one of them, but getting a newly rewired copper and brass table lamp from 1910-1920 for Christmas with all of the original parts (sans old wiring) is definitely is one of them.

I used to love watching antique roadshow on pbs. How do those expert people know so much about those things?? 
On the other hand, some of them are legit history nurds. Rare history knowledge-facts + a good find = $$$ in the right market.
I wish I could, but I left it back down in TX while I'm up in school!
^^This one is slightly like it; the base for mine has a funny crescent arch to it and has a brass shade with holes punched in it that form designs. The shade is a shallow cone shape, rather than bugle-ish.
