thanks so much for both your comments. they're all excellent ideas. and i'll give it all a shot. but vini, you said something about "tchi chi". can you explain a little more what exactly that is.
all of your help is greatly appreciated to the both of you. you have no idea how good it feels to have someone who can help you and give you advice on things like this when all else just feels kind of lost..but anyway thanks again
any other ideas are greatly appreciated as well.
