But I gotta tell ya the story about Homer... our polar bear... (my school mascot)
It started in 2003, when we bought the house... I spotted him in the window of the Salvation Army store in town... He was sitting in a high chair. When I went over to the window, incredible... there was a couple looking at Homer. (he wasn't named Homer at the time... that came later). Anyway, as the couple was looking, I rudely reached in and grabbed him away. Got a strange look from the couple, then realized they weren't looking at Homer, but the high chair. So, anyway $2.00 brought him home to our new house.
Tensions were a little bit high between DW and self... buying furniture, deciding on colors etc... and on a tight time schedule. Uptight to the point of almost not speaking. That's when it began... instead of talking to each other, we began talking through Homer, as the mediator. That began the saga of Homer the ombudsman.
For the past ten years, Homer has been part of the family. He travels with us on trips, goes to Florida for the winter, and maintains a place in the living room or the car (always placed so he can look out the window). We talk to him during the day, and every relative, friend and neighbor knows him, what he does, and they never fail to talk to him and say hello, when they come to visit, except for one lady who calls him "Morgan". Homer has gotten us through some tough times...hugs when things are sad, and always able to garner a smile to break any tension. We're at a point when folks don't think we're odd (at least to our face)... and sometimes actually go to him for counsel.
Along with other considerations for the retirement home, I'd really recommend getting a "Homer"...
... and, right... no poop!
