I was cleaning my room today and I was almost done. I was reaching for the toilet paper that Mr. Wonderful pushes all the way back of the linen closet. (To let you know Mr. Wonderful is 6'3" and I am 5' 1" so his reach is a bit longer then mine.)
Back to my story...As I was reaching, one of those light bulbs, the ones that have mercury in them, fell and blew up! Now, I didn't know what to do so I called 311. You know the non emergency number. So here we go..... the fire dept came over in there big red truck and disposed of it. Stop laughing!!!!!!!!! It gets a bit funnier the firemen were all woman. Oh I just could of died.
Now, I will tell you why I called. I had seen a show that said it needed to be disposed by someone wearing gloves and a jumper. I really didn't know what to do. So this is why I called. Now for the chuckle, as they left, they gave me a pair of gloves for the next time, boy did I feel silly!

Its nearly 3am and the house is dead quiet and I read this, started cracking up and woke the dog! I can so see you and the Firewomen! What did Mr. Wonderful say when you told him?
That's funny but to make you feel better, I wouldn't have known you should clean it up with gloves on so at least you are trying to be safe!
That is awesome!!! You got your most embarrasing moment out of the way early this year! Plus, the media gets us all freaked out about those light bulbs...how were you to know??
Cindy...Mr Wonderful did what he always does to me...Rolled his eyes!
