Wow! That was priceless! Thanks for that post. I needed a laugh tonight.
sounds like quite an experience on the phone there. wow. and what patience you had, my friend!
Your spellings were perfect for translating...and I'm almost positive that I have spoken with this exact same person before! I just know it!! This was too funny...thanks for sharing!
So laughing out loud at work is embarrasing, but that's what happened just now when I checked up on you. Hysterical! And I want to know if you actually DO get the necklace to go with the bracelet, or just get to have two bracelets. And how much did it cost you for all this trubbel withthe fox jewry? =D
