8. Does anyone know about safety issues re: the plug?

It gave some pretty scary warnings about not using a properly grounded, three-pronged socket. This house was built in 1950, and mostly I have ungrounded, two-pronged sockets. But there are two sockets that take 3-pronged plugs. They both have little circuit breakers in them. I called the old landlord (the guy who sold me the house and who used to maintain it himself). Is anyone familiar with that kind of wall socket? Is it safe.

I also got adapters, but the warning said "no adapters."

Does everyone else have grounded sockets? Does anyone here cheat?
