EddyTeddyFreddy! Gorillaman! Marshmallow! Starving Artist – you are the most generous guy here!
Monstro, I was on my way to leave your name when I saw your post. My highest hopes are for you. What you see in me is your own potential. Yep! I really mean it!
Scyllia?
I’m a jerk for forgetting to reply to this, but he’s doing really well. He’ll go to Boston next month for a checkup, but hasn’t had any problems. His voice is somewhat better although he refuses to do a lot of exercises - if you assign him work, you can rely on him not to do it - and he’s doing the stuff he’s supposed to be doing at 15.
Yeah, the cow-proof swimming pool cover was Scylla.
Woo-hoo! Scylla!! Thanks, NajaNivea & jayjay! (& bbs2k too.) I’m off to the search function.
(Marley23, great to hear from you again. I’ve been wondering how you & your brother were, too.)
You know that Seattle Doper Trivia thread that resurfaces in MPSIMS every Tuesday? Well, I’ve been missing trivia since September because of a year-long class that meets Tuesday evenings, so I don’t have a chance to see the following very good people, who are friendly and smart and lots of fun to be around: stargazer, Interrobang!?, Aguecheek, Cervaise, Saltire, inkysplotchy, amarinth, and the other occasional participants. Good fellows all.
That is SO awesome! 
Thanks for the update!
Herding cats is highly over-rated on the scale of things that are difficult to do. 
I herd my three all the time. Herd 'em out of the bedroom, herd 'em out the door…
They get used to it after a while.
Now, herding Dopers! THAT’s difficult. 
Glad to be of service
