because I consider myself pretty "in the know" when it comes to "natural"/"green living" stuff and I am not sure I knew this. If a CFL bulb breaks DO NOT vacuum it up. I think I may have (with our old vacuum thank God as since we've gotten our dyson I've been a vacuuming freak ;)) though I can't recall if the bulb was a CFL or one of our last remaining "old style cheapy" bulbs. I just remember vacuuming on my hands and knees either very pg or with Elias like "5 minutes" old in the house! I think dh knocked the lamp over while bringing the birth pool in from outside after we cleaned it out. So yeah E was like 2 days old!
