Hi Marianne,
I like it, being a louse in the fur! I think that any of your suggested 
modes may be useful- it's what suits each individual.

There are certainly other ways of doing things. And Marianne, you are not a 
failure- all that is required of any of us is to do what we can- the 
outcome, while not unimportant, is not a reflection of our success in 
retaining integrity.
