Last lightbulb factory closes - sniff

[The Daring Dufas]

I wasn't referring to Jews, perhaps my little Mexican homey should have said "jou have a beeg nose" but the double meaning of the joke wouldn't have worked.

Tape. I hadn't thought of that. I was stressing over how to get the last miniscule pieces without vacuuming.

By Jove, I think this Internet thing might actually catch on.

Thanks,

By the time you finish with your wisk and dust pan, there's not enough glass, or glass and mercury to be concerned with.

Perhaps I'm the world's worst whisker. There were still plenty of really tiny pieces of glass. I dropped the bulb on the subfloor where we're about to put down cork flooring, and I wanted to get up as much as possible.

I'm not really worried about the mercury; I probably get more in me when I eat fish.

DH asked if the bulb was hot (it wasn't); if it had been hot, the mercury would likely have mostly been released into the air rather than stuck to the glass.

I'll take that as a reference to the last word of this thread's subject.
