You put all that temptation on in front of him and think he won't consider it... Geez Witchy... You above all I would expect something different...

And I was wondering why Kilifi had a sort of obsession for lights. She is always pawing the table lamps. ( I have CFLs so they are not hot.)

CFL's VERY VERY BAD... Use extreme caution... When I worked in Salisbury, MD there was a news article about the dangers of them. One guy changed one of the light bulbs barefooted... Accidentally dropped one and it of course broke. He then got a piece of glass out of his foot, and rinsed it out with Water and Alcohol. Later that night he was woke up with foot pain and had to call 911.

The problem was the Mercury that was in the bulb was now in his foot. He lost his middle tow and his foot was split in too 2" behind the center tow. This was in the local newspaper, and I am not sure why this is not a major concern item... The Mercury in those bulbs make them very very bad...

Now imagine one of Savannahs getting cut, biting into a piece of it when we are not looking. This could be quite deadly.... I WILL NOT allow these things into my house.....

Excerpt from another article:

The EPA suggests the following:
o People and pets should immediately leave the room.

o Open a window and/or door and Air out the room for 5 to 10 minutes.

o Turn off the central forced air heating/air-conditioning system.

o Thoroughly collect broken glass and visible powder using wet cloths. Never use vacuum cleaners or brooms.

o Put all debris and cleanup materials in a sealable container and put outdoors in a trash container or protected area until materials can be disposed of properly. Do not leaving bulb fragments or cleanup materials indoors.

o If practical, continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the heating/air conditioning system shut off for several hours.
