We'll send a hunk over to catch you should you need one, 2200! He's low maintenance and works for cookies... Just let him run free in the yard.  :)

 

And what could be more fun than...

Since you're all Wizard of Oz fans, did you know Buddy Ebsen was almost cast as the Tin Man?

Shook,"''What in tarnation!"" ;D

 

Good trivia there about him almost getting the tin man role!

You're quite distinguished. In fact, many people look up to you in awe and amazement. It's important to act like a role model at all times. You never know who's watching.

I'm a terrifying Spider Monkey!

"You may frighten really easy, but you pride yourself on your ability to express emotions and wear your heart on your sleeve. Never take this quality for granted."

 

True, that.

 

I went from Harlequin Romance hunk to a weeny Spider Monkey...  :laugh:

Hi everybody,

 

I am so glad that you are able to pick each others spirits up!  There are such nice people on this thread.  I love  the pics you all have posted.

 

Hang in there and stay strong!  The dizziness goes away!  (it just takes its sweet time)

Hello All!

It's a teary, crappy day for me too. Been up since 3:20 a.m. Cried myself to sleep last night. However, now that abcd has allowed me to figure out what kind of monkey I am, I feel slightly better. I'm actually the same type as abcd -- the Emperor Tamarin! I have no idea what that means. Perhaps it's because we don't like the humidity, or because we prefer Curious George to the rest. Who knows!

 

Thanks so much, Steph, for dropping in to encourage us! I need that kind of thing all the time. Yesterday I had another 8, and it felt like an internal war between the part that wanted me to fall and the part that wanted me to stay upright. By bedtime, I was a wreck.

 

Take care, All. Make friends with a monkey -- or a Harlequin Romance dude. Whichever works for you.  ;)

Lapis,sorry about the crummy day!I know this will turn around one day for you! :hug:

 

If it helps any,I also picked Curious George out of the lineup on the monkey test!

 

Great minds think alike! ;D

I knew you would, Shook! And you're just like I pictured you -- albeit a bit more hairy.

 

2200, I think a "squirrel monkey" is perfect for you! So cute! Nuts and all! Of course, Curious George rocks! Or it may be that we're both of "a certain era" and just weren't as familiar with the other options. The Flying Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz scare the peedoodle out of me.

 

I just tried to walk a bit, and even though it's a less dizzy day for me, I still had a near-fall. My calves tightened right up. ARGH! I'm so tired. Fewer than four hours of sleep just doesn't cut it when you're trying to re-learn how to walk.

That is so funny Lapis,I just posted that the Wizard of Oz monkeys scared the peedoodle out of me too!They did.I couldn't sleep after watching that show as a kid!

 

I like Curious George too,he seems really cool and friendly!

 

Be careful you don't fall Lapis!

 

I think those walk in tubs they advertise on TV would be so nice when you are dizzy and have sore muscles!Unfortunately,I think they cost like a million dollars!

I know! I noticed your peedoodle post right after I posted mine. Great (or dizzy...or greatly dizzy) minds think alike!  ;D

 

I'm definitely trying not to fall. I haven't yet. But I've had lots of near-misses. The goal is to stay upright at all costs, but the costs can be sore muscles, a surge of adrenaline, and a pounding heart until the moment passes.
