lol

a cpl days ago

1 of my cats decided to jump ON TOP of my computer case, wher i had placed a lamp

he of course toppled the lamp, which had a glass shade

it of course fell on my desk and shattered on impact

a wile after that i got a piece of glass in my foot, which had to be removed by sum1 else since i couldnt reach it very easily much less see it

anyway'

i bought a can of compressed air for cleanimng

and im wondering

is a can of compressed air good for blowing glass fragments off a hard surface and onto the floor?

and does any1 have any good suggestions for the cleanup of this glass?

nono the vacuum works great

its just that wen u vaccuum glass its really only good for bigger pieces

cuz u cant always see little pieces, and the littlew pieces r the 1s giving me the trouble


so i thot i could blow em or brush em off my desk and onto the carpet, wher theyd all get sucked up

i wanna brush my desk off onto the floor and then suk em all up

or i could disassemble it, take the pieces outside and aim a hose at it

but thatd prolly wreck it lol

i really hate glass sumtimes

ther shouldnt even b glass anymore

lexan plastic should replace all glass and glass like substances

If you think animals are a hazzard to you computer just wait until you have a 3 year old in the house!

(Red Green would probably try this first)..

thanx m10bob

good idea

ill use that in conjunction with a good wipe down and sum spraying

time is not in any way an issue as long as i get all the glass in the garbage wher it belongs

i hate glass

idc how long it takes as long as its in the garbage

hmm

perhaps i shoud drop a cpl 500 pounders on it...



or a nuke

that would take care iof it

in classically overkill fashion


o

the trinity test in NM turned the sand to glass for a radius out to about 800 yards or so

from the heat of course

thats how america mass produces GREEN glass...

get it? GREEN glass?



(glowing green)

ehh...

u guys do better!

Status: offline 		Why are you talking about cleaning? Isn't there a woman (wife/mother/girlfriend/maid) that can do this for you? Better yet, wife and/or girlfriend in a maid's outfit?

While she is at it have her bring you a drink and a snack. This could be a long turn.

You have more important things to do like play WiTP!

Feign incompetence and she will eventually do it for you. This has worked for me.
