(...) Janey - don't feel too bad...we have all been there. Though I would say Steve has had to bear the most aingst about those little soccer balls.

(...) Thanks Brian. (...) I actually was too embarrassed my first post to mention I took one to the eye. Holy that hurt...

(...) This place is as good as any to post GBC questions. You could post to the ITlug forum, but they prefer the posts in Italian. :) I always have to run the page through google translate, type a reply, and run it back through google translate (...)
