        Sorry Sis, 
But I don&apos;t want to be snurfled.  And the rest of it sounds smothering.  I only want them to come when summoned, do my bidding, leave when the hint is dropped, and miss me tremendously when they are not with me.  I have no time for the rest of that list.

Purchase new car every year
Pay for monthly spa treatment with professional massuese
Provide large house with separate bathroom you and she with maid
Write &quot;I Love You&quot; in your own blood every day

        Who caused you to think we needed all this?  Man, I thought I was high maintenance!  I don&apos;t need half this stuff.

1) An open mind and a healthy appetite (for all things)
2) A sincere belief that I am the greatest thing since sliced bread.
3) The ability to amuse yourself when I am off doing my own thing.
4) A high enough I.Q. that I am never bored.
5) A purpose in life greater than yourself.

See? Much shorter list.

Also, show up naked.
