To pam & Belgarath, et.al. It seems last year that one of my guys developed a passion for a particular electric cord, as it looked like someone hacked away at it with a knife! I suspect it was Timmy as before he was sick he bit clear thru a phone cord, which is what made us suspect a blockage b4 the operation where the lymph nodes were found 10x normal size. (Timmy is still fully healed & doing fine, I'm thankful to say). Anyway, it seemed that after a bottle of bitter lemon, that what worked better by a factor of 3 or 4, was bitter lime! It seems hard to find, but it seems to have worked very well for me. Hiding the cord under a layer of duct tape works also, or behind one of those plastic molding strips is even better. Be persistant, and good luck, it is worth the effort! Sincerely, Gary Violence is not strength, Compassion is not weakness. From Camelot. [Posted in FML issue 1393]
