Well, after a month spent pestering everyone I know about this vexed question (amazingly, they're still speaking to me <g>), and drawing up a weighted table of pros and cons, I finally made my decision.
And the final choice is...
<insert drum roll>A Bath!
You know when you've made a decision, and immediately you just
know it's the right one? Well, that's exactly how I feel.
Thanks again for helping me.
