Comments on: Mercury Isn’t Retrograde; It’s On the Floor Next To the Bed http://lillhawkins.com/2008/06/09/mercury-isnt-retrograde-its-on-the-floor-next-to-the-bed/ Unschooling, Writing and Living in Maine - Mostly Humorously Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:30:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Mother Earth http://lillhawkins.com/2008/06/09/mercury-isnt-retrograde-its-on-the-floor-next-to-the-bed/#comment-1047 Mother Earth Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:46:02 +0000 http://lillhawkins.com/2008/06/09/mercury-isnt-retrograde-its-on-the-floor-next-to-the-bed/#comment-1047 very cool parallel to astrology - clever indeed. Nat'l geographic did this article once about plastics - they emptied all things plastic in the lawn - the volume of which was astonishing. I have since imagined what our green graves might look like if instead of markers we would have our " estate " that does not degrade piled up instead. Can you imagine? Some folks would have piles as high as the moon. I have similar images about the whole CFL thing, how dare they downplay and say oh by the way these have a pinprick of mercury in them please find a different way of disposing these. I fear when these bulbs time runs out they are going to become another larger problem - I am curious how this turns out for you - should you test your blood etc. PS I lifted and que'd a guest post of you for June 16th - thank you again. If I can return the favor - please let me know. very cool parallel to astrology - clever indeed.

We have them only in the recessed lights in the closets and the spare bathroom. These all have a diffuser-cover so you can't see the bulb. If a disposal must occur, EG will have to do it. I refuse to touch the durn things let alone read by them. I live with Engineering Geek, and he had to get those cotton-pickin’ Mercury impregnated bulbs.
