Joe, the itchy left palm -- means ... it means...
you're the Christmas Bonus she's been hoping for... I can see it now, shaving pups with one hand, dialing her travel agent and arranging for brunch in Bermuda with the other. :)

Joe...
I can only imagine how much it costs to have a number of dogs groomed. The wife had the cat shaved - I mean "Drill Sergeant" shaved - and I remember how I reacted when she told me that it cost us thirty-five dollars.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Joe...

with you it's rainin' dogs (minus the cats) is it?

Itchy palm? As far as I know, it's a portent of lucre, filthy or otherwise. Her evil intent on your money has manifested itself in her palm...can't wait for the next chapter...

Joe .. I am ashamed that I haven't welcomed you back sooner. My intention was different than my action. I want to wish sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

An itchy palm? Doesn't that mean she is going to come into money?
Your money I bet.


So did she do what you wanted...and for how much?
I'm waiting.

Hiya, Wifey
I can't believe you don't know what an itching left palm is supposed to signify. In fact, you're just going to have to google it to find out. (sigh)
As for the youngens' names. . , thanks for taking the bait. (grin)
