Once the dead rat is in there...don't you have to throw the whole pot of soup out and start all over again? Or is that not a good analogy????????????? Peggy *********************************************************************** Back in his college days, Jim had a group over and fixed a big pot of spaghetti....which, as the story goes, he burned, then tried to cover up the taste with sugar....Needless to say, it tasted like c__p! Moral of the story.....if you're drinking beer (a lot of beer) and cooking, don't forget to keep it on low heat.......Is there an analogy in there somewhere??!!
