    Jim, how long have you found to be not "very long"? I did a necklace
    with a rubber cord about 6 1/2 years ago, and when I last saw it
    (about a year ago) it was still just as flexible as when it was
    brand new. I don't use it very often, but it just seems to fit with
    some things, so I have some more, too, that looks just fine, although
    I suppose it's all from the same original purchase. Do you mean a
    longer time than that? Obviously I want it to be nice for a VERY
    long time, but I would assume "not very long" to be a year or two, or
    even less, and this has certainly passed that. Just wondering what to
    expect. Maybe, too, it depends on what type you get, and some last
    longer than others. 

Thanks,

Lisa
