Thanks a lot, Janet... I'll forward your information on to my friend. The poor guy has had a coupla tough weeks with this problem, so I KNOW this information will be quite a relief to him. Hmmm.... (thinking).... I just hadda terrible thought. What if, after all this reassurance that he's just gotta adjust his meds to get rid of the "nite-noises," someone really IS trying to break into Carl's house? YIKES!!!
