[BlindTlk] House Cleaning

Wed Jul 21 13:47:49 UTC 2021

I get down on the floor, or wherever it is, and carefully pick up all the 
pieces I can find.  Then, I take the vacuum, and try to vacuum up all the 
smaller pieces and splinters I can find.  Sometimes, I still find glass 
afterwards, though.  Pam.

Another house cleaning question for everyone. How do you clean up broken 
glass?

Don’t worry about it. I probably read it too fast. Sometimes I get bombarded 
with emails and can’t keep things straight either. I think it happens to all 
of us at sometime or another. I’m just glad you’re here!

I suck at technology. Sometimes whether you type or dictate it doesn’t come 
out the way you want it anyhow. And I’m certainly guilty of not correcting 
dictators. Since I moved my phone has been doing more and more dictate 
errors lately. perhaps my phone doesn’t like the move. :-)
