I am in the dirty dog house

Well, let's just hope she doesn't get tired of giving you massages before the year is up Norman.

And Handy Andy is the man to have nearby. Can we borrow him from time to time?

 

I find that if you say "hello" (hola) right after you pick up the phone, people tend to start talking.

yeah, from experience i have noticed women from latin or romance countries are very firey-tempered. they get mad and when they do....its nasty.
(my wife is VERY italian) maybe some well placed flowers...or a gift from mexico that reminds her of home or her childhood, will melt her a lil.

 

That's what I do. I pick up, listen for background noise, say hello, listen again and wait for the hello or hang up. If the basturds are going to use my phone for their sales, they can take a flying leap at rolling donut.

 

Norm, my wife is Spanish and Romanian.
If I forgot her birthday I'd go rob a bank just to get locked up and have something really sturdy (bars) between us.

 

I know what you mean! Which language does she prefer to warm up her larynx in?

 

She's terrible with both languages.
Her grandmother (father's side) came from a now gone town called Lupe (wolf) in the Transylvanian mountains. All the women in the family albums look like Nakita Kruschev with a head scarf.
I heard "true" stories at family gatherings that make my leprachans and banshees sound like pussy cats.

 

Trrranssylvaniah! Who was it that did that so well in the old black and white horror flicks! The name escapes me. Borris Karloff? Now your wife can rant me instead!!!

 

Bella Lagosi (sp) but Lon Chaney did the old silent version and his son, L C jr did the original Wolfman.
Boris Karloff was the Frankenstien monster.
