Catrin, I feel for ya. Bike time will definitely help. And thanks for the suggestions!

I started using simplynoise.com yesterday after I posted that... and man, as dubious as I was, it really helps.

I hope it works. It seems to be working a little so far.

I wish she would get a bike. It would probably help her.
