Installed Busysync by Busymac - works like a charm. I think they may have done some work with MM. Now my contacts and appts are syncing. I am taking no chances until there is official notification that MM is 100% fix and I don't see anymore (or atleast the number of posts reduce).
On the other hand, now that MM is working (well for tonight on my mac) and I have busy sync - I can sync my MM and my google calendars.
