I'm using a blade, remember. And I keep it OUT of reach when there are prople I don't know in the house. I can still reach it inside a second, but I have to THINK about it, and hence wake up a lot more. byt to be honest, it's not really applied to that. I was refering there to threatening with weapon versus USING weapon. Andy Dawn Falcon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
