We have a cleaning lady come in once a week who speaks very little English, only Polish... I've told her MANY times not to touch the tank, but caught her in the act last week, and now there are streak marks on my newly cleaned tank that weren't there this morning :mad: If she were still here I'd wring her neck :mad:
Can anyone tell me how to write...
Eva, NEVER, EVER, TOUCH THE FISH TANKS !!!
Thanks in advance :)

Voytek,
Thanks :) Was ready to kill her the other day, but....I went back on the translator Earl had found and got a way to say PLEASE don't touch or clean.. so I'll use yours since it's the correct nice way... however,,, if I EVER catch her again I'll physically throw her out... lol she's a small woman fortunately... lol

Well,
Eva came today, and I had a sign hanging on the tank, written in Polish using the "nice" way of saying it Voytek was kind enough to give me. Also did get a few more phrases off the translator (cleaning chemicals dangerous to the fish) and (fish scare easily).
She read it and smiled and said... ok, I understand :)
now... only if she really does :confused:

Jim,
Maybe you should get dressed up in a little cleaning outfit complete with feather duster and have your wife take a pic of you in front of your tanks. :lipsrseal
Next step; print out the pic and place a bright red circle around it with a slash through it...hang it up in the center of the fishroom and voila you'll be all set! :idea: :grin:
Howie
P.S.
Don't forget to post the pic here so we can see it! :vanish:

Howie... LOVE your idea :) Just might take you up on posting a pic like that :D Remember the old adage... be careful what you ask for .... :D
Jim
... wish I would have thought of that before writing the sign in Polish lol
