Broke a CFL lightbulb.....

gazelle77 · ‎03-01-2013

I cleaned it up.... THEN saw what I should have done! Whoops! I did it all wrong! Hope I do not die... These bulbs may save energy, but they are a toxic waste mess if you break one! Oh well.....I just screwed in the replacement bulb.... What the heck, I am being vaporized in mercury vapors as we speak....... Too late now.

We all have to die from something, might as well be from a govt. mandated light bulb. lol

In California it says on the packaging of CFL lightbulbs, you are suppose to leave the house and call the EPA to clean it up. ${#emotions_dlg.thumbdown}$

I hear that's how the government plans on cutting costs in the new AHC. Most people will bite the dust within 3 months of breaking one of these new mandated light bulbs. And voila! One less person to insure!

I was suppose to leave the room for an hour..... I am doing the canary test right now as my birds are in this room. So far they are still alive and well!

Who needs 'death panels' when you have lethal light bulbs?

Edited to add that in my experience these new bulbs last longer than the old type, at least so far. I haven't had one burn out since I put them in years ago.
