the only solution is to dive in completely - none of the Achilles' mother holding one ankle out of the water crap. You see how that turned out for him.
I recommend bidding on so many things that you kinda hope that you don't win 'em all cuz winning them all means building a new collerador and SOON. If you don't have a few hundred sticks that you are unlikely to get to in the course of you lifetime, you haven't jumped in far enough.
If you are truly serious, you need to have the sleeping-pillow-dor just in case you get that urge in the wee hours so that you don't have to get dressed to partake. Of course, if you live remote enough, you can just walk outside sans cloth no prob. For some of our more urban BOTL/SOTL, they have reported this behaviour as sleep-herfing when found outside with nothing to protect them but their Xikar.
Oh, and i'm completely kidding (probably......)
