        Well it works for me, and my guys.  It's one of those real thick
fitted mattress pads.  Also once you put the sheets on there is no way
my guys can get at the corners or under it.  And like I said they love
that bed.  In fact just this morning we had a rough and tumble game on
it.  I almost forgot what time it was and had to rush to work.  Thank-
fully the space shuttle was going up so I used traffic as na excuse. :)

        Okay my two scents.  Frist of all Hawaii is one of the few places
in the world that is not frozen that does not have snakes.  The mongoose
was brought over to controll the rat population.  Brought to the island
by our lovely shipping industry.  The only thing besides plants and bugs
native to hawaii is birds.
 
        I got into a long conversation with a gentleman (ie. jerk) abought
ferrets in hawaii  I was wrong of course.  There is thousands of wild
ferrets in hawaii. NOT.
 
        Have a good weekend everyone.
