Home Improvement? Name: Marianne form Maryland            This is supposedly a true story right out of a small local paper: Glue Leaves Woman in Self-adhesive Mess            A 34-year-old woman simply wanted to surprise her fiancé Sunday with her home-improvement prowess. With the help of her two daughter's, ages 9 and 10, the woman planned to lay linoleum in her kitchen and save the $700 it would cost for someone else to do the work. Unfortunately, the woman - who asked to identified only by her first name, Anne - didn't realize how sticky the situation would become.            Anne's headaches started after she spread a coat of glue on the kitchen floor. While trying to start laying the tile, she slipped and hit a wall before falling face first into the glue, she said. "Have you ever see a fly land on sticky paper?" she said. "That's what it appeared I was."            While she struggled on the floor, her Yorkshire terrier, Cleopatra, licked her face and became stuck as well - as her daughters began laughing hysterically. Finally one of them managed to pull her up, Anne said. After flinging some of the excess glue off, Anne realized she better lay the linoleum before the glue dried. With her daughters' help, they spread the tiles within 20 minutes, no sweat.            The problem was the excess glue and how to get it off. She called a glue emergency hot line, but no one answered. So she walked to her office and tried calling a contractor in Texas who had been helping her with the tiling project over the phone. He had no answers. That's when the real trouble began. During the conversation, the excess glue on her body hardened. Her right foot was cemented to the floor. Her legs, which she had earlier crossed, stuck together. The cordless phone stuck to her hand. She had no choice but to call 911. "I had to dial 911 with my nose, " she said.            When five county firefighters and paramedics arrived shortly after 5 p.m. at the home they found Anne still stuck to the satin chair, clad only in her working clothes - which happened to be her underwear, said Battalion Chief John M. Scholz, a county Fire Department spokesman. "I've never had a call like that, and if I work this job 1,000 more years, I bet I won't have another," said paramedic Keith Lefler, who responded to the call.            When the emergency crew arrived, Anne was still holding the phone. Mr. Lefler said one of lieutenants told her she could hang it up, since help had finally arrived. But, of course, she couldn't. It was stuck, too. "That was one of the funniest things," Mr. Lefler said.            The crews, who laughed until they cried, scrubbed Anne with solvent-dipped sterile gauze pads, eventually freeing her legs, hand and extremities within an hour. Mr. Lefler said Anne handled the sticky situation with humor. "She made light about it, which made it easier," he said. "There was a lot of comedy going on."            Anne declined to go to the hospital. She was given mineral spirits to wash the rest of the glue off, she said. Though her fiancé was pleased with the kitchen floor, he won't allow her to do home-improvement projects anymore, she said. "The bottom line is the floor looks good," she said.
