If you wish to keep the flood of biblical proportions under control, then Keep 'it' in the cage, tigeress.

P.S.
Ironically, it was I (her daughter) who was caught stealing (sort of) this weekend.

Well, that's the key, Rcky ... not saying it (so) aloud.

Madame....
I hate to say it but I would tend to agree with your mom! Only maybe I would not have shouted it out! LOL

Thank you, Rcky ...
my mother
claims I've been portraying her unfairly. So, I'll try to rectify that later this week.

I thought the funniest was in the last paragraph. It is a good technique of writing. I'm trying to pick up good pointers for humor.

Mademoiselle,
Well, if your mother
is the Russian side of your family, you've just proved your point.

Yes, Passion, it has been averted ...
This time last year, however, we were not
quite so fortunate.

I think it's unforgiveable that plumbers would track 'gunk'
On your carpet...also, that they would hit on you. I hope you got your 'flood of biblical proportions' stopped at least.

That's not really her strongsuit, Blanche ...
She tends to speak her mind ... and rather vociferously so.

Mademoiselle,
You just summed up in one neat phrase why I didn't pursue any business opportunities with Russians. "They're crooks, every last one of them". Not to mention, a tad bit emotional. Although, your mother could have been just a tad more discreet.

You should have excused yourself and told them that you were going to add to their problem and add a little more poop on the pile just for them.

I'll keep that in mind, Bell Keeper ...
Though I would have thought my beauty and intellect might be intimidating enough.

Great story...
Stereotype or not...keep an eye on ANYONE doing work inside of your home. May not be a bad idea to imply that you are armed, too! LOL
Take care...

Thanks for the advice, Samhain ...
I'm actually fairly knowledgable about sports, anyway (due to my brother and boyfriend).

Mademoiselle - when I was a kid, all of the plumbers spoke Czech - it's similar to Russian except that there is more spitting - none of them ever came on to me - probably because it was the 50s and I was a boy - thank God for small favors - best of luck with all of this - p.s. I've learned from experience - when talking to men, if you don't know what to say, just ask "So, what'd you think about that game?" - I'm not sure what it really means but, it seems to soothe them.
