here is a tip for all.. it worked for me anyway.. I had broken a glass in the kitchen.. cleaned up all the pieces and even ran the vacumn.. you guessed it.. missed a tiny little sliver and since I walk around bare footed, yep in my foot.. could not find that piece in my foot, so I took a large piece of tape and stuck it to the area where it was bothering me and left it on for a few minutes then took it off and the sliver of glass came with it.. yeaaaaaaaaaaa.. it worked like a charm..

yes it's true when glass breaks into pieces you find still pieces after a long time even when you vacumn as well as you can

Smart thinking-I mean with the tape, not about trying to find slivers with bare feet. (hehe)

Kathy, that sounds so painful - glad you were able to use the tape and get that sliver out - I wish you a speedy healing.

Tip for broken glass. Use a soapbar to pick the tiny little sliver up. It works. Love Marie

I was laughing not because you got the glass in your foot but remembering my son with his hand covered in white school glue waiting for it to dry. Some kid told him that after it dries it will pull out the glass. It did work but the tape sounds a lot quicker.
