Default how to calculate x months from today

Months are such a terrible unit to perform math with. As an example, if you
add 6 months to the date August 31, 2009, what date do you expect to have
returned to you?

Excel 2003: I have a "date" in a cell (eg: 6/16/09), and want to calculate
the date which is 6 months from now?
The issue I'm having is that some months are 29, 30, 31 days.

The "date" call value may change and the "x" months period could also
change.

Hope this is clear.
THANKS!
Gene:)
