Why Do These Things Happen To Me?

[Caran]

I was wearing a long black and white necklace, suddenly it broke, beads everywhere, as well as lots of black and white normal sized beads there are hundreds and hundreds of tiny black ones, the size of a pin head. It's amazing where they can get to. It's taken me nearly an hour to gather them all up. Thought I'd got them, then I stood up. They had deposited themselves in my clothes and in my underwear. All over the floor. I've put them in plastic bags as daughter and granddaughter make and sell jewellery.

Trust me, it's not just you - been there and done that, on a dance floor once!
Could have been a major incident.

Never had that happen Mamya. I'm still finding the tiny ones, they keep falling from my clothes. Just shaken my bra, amazing the amount that fell out.

[Mamyalynne]

Nuisance, you'll be finding them for days.

Could have turned into a roller disco then, Mamya.


Vac them up if I were you, Caran.

Ooh! A thread about the contents of Caran's underwear! This site is looking up!

I am with Tonya-v - just vacuum them up - somebody could slip and break a hip. Get rid - they're only oul beads. Now if they were pure gold - that's different.

I don't know if this would work for beads but do know if you have broken glass - loads of wet newspaper soak them up - whether that will help with beads - I don't know. But they are just a pair of ould beads.
