It really makes me angry that we can domesticate all this stuff, but we can't figure out how to get monkeys domesticated. It's just too much for me to handle. Sometimes when I go to the zoo, I get angry that I can't have a pet monkey.<br /><br />By the way, "I could rent out her favorite store for a private shopping spree. I could buy her the largest diamond possible, and she could wear it around her neck on a rope." <-- I wish I had your tax return!<br /><br />JohnJohnhttp://fatherhoody.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292188936537697563.post-44396279113218355672010-02-16T17:49:08.293-06:002010-02-16T17:49:08.293-06:00What isn't going towards gear for baby #2 is g...What isn't going towards gear for baby #2 is going in the bank this year.
