I want to say thanks for all my virtual friends and let them know that even though my favorite activity is to eat string, I've only ever done it once successfully (hrmph!) and the outcome wasn't one I'd care to repeat.

However, my abode seems curiosly devoid of the stuff and if by chance I do find a shoelace, I'm can only gnaw on the end. And in my new apartment I did find these lovely stings from the blinds and before I could blink they were too high for me to get to to -- and I tried!

So thank you for all your caring thoughts - I am deeply touched.
