kiwimade64, "Our praying mantis' eat the caterpillars, eggs and chrysalis Sad so I don't plant swan plants anymore."
I thought that by eating Swan plants the Monarch offspring where ever they are in the birth cycle become poisonous, that is why they do, it's a surprise to hear your praying mantises are eating all of the stages and living, maybe they die without reproducing and as time goes on the mantises will reduce in numbers.
popeye333, it's a common thing that when you move a piece of equipment with a blown bulb in it the bulb often starts working again for a while, on and off. This is especially true with car indicator lights. The filament burns out and leaves a gap in the filament but if the bulb is physically disturbed by knocking it about, during a move or banging the outside of the case with a fist the filament will move and reconnect and for a time rejoin the burned out part. Won't work for long though.
Don't know about the tv except that if reception is marginal channels will work perfectly fine some days and not if there are rainstorms about etc it can vary depending on the channel frequencies when they will and won't work.

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
