Mercury Problem

Knocked a 20+ year old oral mercury thermometer in its holder off the shelf early this morning, and it hit the edge of the toilette tank. Holder survived intact, but the thermometer broke into one large, one small and a few tiny pieces. Cleaned up the broken glass as best I could by hand, but I didn't find the bulb or any liquid mercury. I spread powdered sulfur around and am letting it set. I plan to clean this from where I can with dampened paper towels, then get the rest from the cracks around the edges of the vinyl flooring with my Kirby. It has a HEPA rated bag, which I will discard after this use. (It was nearly full anyway.)

Any comments? Suggestions? Words for next-of-kin?

Oog...

There is definitely a weather aspect to my gut troubles. I was fine most of the week, but starting about mid-day yesterday I've been having increasing problems. If we get a good rain out of this front I won't mind, though...
