Got a three bulb fixture in the kitchen. Nothing fancy, about a 15"
round woodtone base with three sockets that each hold a 60 watt bulb
and a frosted globe.
Bulbs in the one socket burn out about three to four times in ratio to
one bulb burning out in one of the other two sockets. Sometimes a new
bulb in this socket will burn out in a day or two.
Any idea what's causing this??

Bulbs can be affected by vibration, which is why you buy rough duty bulbs
for drop lights. Is there a source of vibration above the fixture? Maybe
foot traffic? If yes, you'd think it would affect all the bulbs, but not
necessarily.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.
