memphismom:

just came here to relax after picking up and vacuuming of four bags of broken glass - two heavy heavy glass shelves came doww in the bars we re-designed two years ago - breaking every glass on them - we were of courese getting ready for a party which is why we were wiping donw all the shelves and glassware . sigh.

We had a similar thing in the Master bath a few years ago. DH and I decided to go for a, ahem, dip in the jacuzzi tub. He had lit several candles and one of them was sitting on a counter with glass shelves above it (WARNING: DO NOT DO THIS!!!). After he put the candle out we left the bathroom and suddenly there was a giant crash as one of the glass shelves shattered and dumped it’s contents on the bathroom floor. The crystal Orrefors dish cracked one of the ceramic tiles on the floor and the whole thing made a big mess :(.

To everything there is a lesson, and a cost to every lesson under the sun.
