I think Spicey has a thing for you, Dasha. He's just like a shy little boy, so he's being bad, to get your attention. Laughing


I doubt it. Every comment he makes, he mentions my husband. He probably has a thing for my husband. Razz


Hollllllleeeeee!!! Shocked You know, I never even thought of that. You may be on to something there. Or maybe Spicey could be on to something, Laughing Laughing

well if he's on her husband...Houston we have a problem! But I doubt it! Overseas Expat...I fully agree with all that you said...I've had this conversation with quite a few Russians...thing is...there are always a select few who have total wealth...if it wasn't the current Oligarchs well then it would be someone else...In the USA the Clintons had nothing prior to being in the white house and now they have all sorts of wealth

Top 5 guesses about Daria's husband's promotion:

5) He was allowed to use a bigger bathroom
4) He got a desk near a window
3) He was given free company underwear with a company logo on it
2) His lunch break was extended to 20 minutes
1) He was granted free access to the company's porn collection

well perhaps we should get off the topic of her husband...I think kids and spouses should be off limits...I mean come on...what if he is not good looking...too I know in so much of the corporate world for promotions some times I hear you have to give head to get a head

Wow, Spicy, your company is pretty creative; I'm impressed. But, no, our company is way too traditional. All they gave us are 20 % raise and a new car. Oh well. I can live with that.

Who told you that? Your father? Don't listen to him. Some people do have a brain and they use it!

Good to hear he is hot then...becuase I would expect only the best for you Laughing no my father never told me that...I was always told to be my own boss and that you never make any real money working for some one else. Which is true because he is very successful and retired at age 40 wealthy. Oh and I was told that it takes money to make money. The saying I quoted was what I told the last person...and she got a huge promotion!
