Good grief, indeed. My house is and will remain a monkey-free zone. My son has moved out now and his 'wanna monkey' phase has passed, thankfully. Maybe I should ask him if he wants me to get him a monkey for Christmas. I bet he doesn't want a poo-slinger in his new house.

That last guy I dated wanted to be babied. I didn't even baby my own kid, so I sure wasn't going to enable that guy's dependency. Oh, the stories I could tell. Imagine if you will, me on the back of his Harley motorcycle. He almost sounds cool there, except I could look in the side mirrors and see ... HIS PARENTS ... following us in their truck. You know, in case it rained and Jr. needed shelter from weather. I kid you not. There are a hundred more such instances which would make a very humorous book. ;)

The family is doing well; I've been the pathetic one lately health-wise. I'm working on an update, to make it short and concise ... I've seen 6 specialists this year and now down to 10 meds. Last diagnosis was chronic daily migraines. Fortunately I haven't lost my sense of humor, and I'm not feeling down about it. Just have to be thankful I'm still plugging along, albeit much slower. ;)

The Harley-guy is the fourth similar story i've heard in a week. Funny how men do not differ in their arrested development despite different cultures and time zones.
