What??? Can't you tell from my hot latino look??? You need new glasses Jeff!

>I have never detected the slightest hint of accent in your post. You hide it very well.

I actually sound russian or israeli (depending on who's listening). Must be because the four people I learnt English from were (in that order): Israeli, "USian", French, and British, and then had the most chances to practice with a Colombian-born Texan and a brazilian-born Brooklynite.

But fearrrrr not my frrrrrriend, I can speek jos' like Rrrrrricki Rrrrricardo if I have to! ;-)

>Or are you still talking in context of wifes. I know they can read our mind. I just have never figured out how they do it????

I used to write down bits of wisdon that I'd hear here and there years ago (a quotes book?). Barney Rubble said one of the few I still remember:

"These things are like radars. You put them on your finger and your wife automatically knows everything about you!"
