I just got home. When I walked into my bedroom I noticed the boob light over my sitting area was hanging down from the ceiling by it's wires. It's obviously not supposed to be that way.

I'm not getting any electricity in there either. I checked the breaker box and the switch was tripped.

I really am not sure if I should leave the switch off or try to flip it back on and see what happens.

I suppose the light falling out of the ceiling caused it to trip.

Can someone tell me what to do until Dan gets home so he can deal with it?

Should I just leave the switch alone?

are the wires still connected? any bare wires?

yeah, they all look like they're connected. There's a bare copper wire but I'm assuming that one is supposed to be bare because the whole thing is exposed. There are no other bare wires, that I can see anyway.

If you need what else that breaker runs....can you just turn the power off to that light...then flip the breaker? If that light did not have power when it tripped, however, would leave it alone.

Why do you think it fell?

It knocked out the power to my whole master bedroom including my master closet & the sitting area. There's no power to any light or the ceiling fan or any of the outlets.

I suppose the light fell due to Fort Bragg shooting off their tunderboomers. It tends to knock the pictures off the walls sometimes.

That wire is always exposed. You can disregard it.

Did it bust the light bulb?

boob light? do they sell those at the porn store?

like this... http://www.rensup.com/Ceiling-Lights/99891.htm?adsrc=9000002

If the breaker is currently off, then turn the switch off for the exposed light, effectively killing any juice running to that light. You'll be fine to flip the breaker back after that.

Did that. :)

No.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
