Mercury clean up

[shilala]

I used to save mercury from mercury switches every time I changed a thermostat or retrofitted an old piece of equipment.
I played with and let the kids play with it.
Now it's like a federal crime.
Aspartame damn near killed me, and it's okay to drink that stuff every day.
You're damned if you do, damned if you don't.

You're not kidding. After the container broke I looked online to see the easiest way to pick it up off the floor and everything I read makes it into a chemical train wreck situation. I wasn't much worried until I starting reading on picking it up.

I believe my dad would bring it home from work and we'd toss it on the kiitchen table and roll it back and forth.
