Daily Monitor Summary Enjoy your weekend, while I go check whether my local supermarket is accepting cement in place of money! Advertisement Brethren, welcome to May, my birthday month! Please contact my editor in case you are wondering how to send me your gifts of live goats, cows, chicken and cash. Do you not just love it when your friends move a step forward in life? If you have friends who are in the process of building their own home, please indulge them when they talk passionately about the project. Nod sympathetically when they tell you how they have just discovered their foreman has been conniving with some thuggish elements to steal their materials. Gasp along when they tell you how at the beginning, they would buy things at double the price because they simply had no idea. Forgive them when they cannot concentrate on talking to you because they are busy looking at paint samples and scrolling through Pinterest to get ideas.
