Another alternative is white noise (e.g. the hum of one of those cheap air cleaners). I have no idea what you could do to keep from getting jealous, however. In elementary school, whenever a kid tried chewing gum or eating in class, the teacher would ask, "Did you bring enough for everybody?" I don't know if that would work in your case. :-) Frank Silbermann
