Claudia,
You very nice lady! I can really use it. Please do not listen to Joanna - I am NEVER fickle or difficult. The woman truly doesn't understand me!
I want to thank you for your generous openness of spirit - it will stand you well during this currect membership drive we are having for the harem! The most senior member may be leaving soon, so her vacant position could be filled by you - I'll advise later. The membership drive we are having will only replace smart alecky current members, so Karen's fears of having to share the jewelry with another lady is unfounded. I thank you for the tea set, and ask Karen "When do I get my chuck cheese tea set?"

The Sheik rides again!
