COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHTBULBS

I want to post a warning about the dangers of those Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs that we are all encouraged to use. I use them too, but I wasn't fully aware that if they get broken, they release mercury! Safe cleanup precautions: If a CFL breaks in your home, open nearby windows to disperse any vapor that may escape, carefully sweep up the fragments (do not use your hands) and wipe the area with a disposable paper towel to remove all glass fragments. Do not use a vacuum. Place all fragments in a sealed plastic bag and follow disposal
instructions above. Obviously extreme precautions must be taken if there is a parrot or any pet in the area!
This is just a cute photo that I snapped of Buster watching Aidan cleaning the cages. "Whatcha Doin?" can get a little tiring after the umteenth time!

The wall hanging is actually a foam waffle mattress pad covered with a cloth shower curtain. This is a sound deadening device for the "loud room". Buster was just visiting to supervise Aidan!
