I suggest trying to be nicer to her. I understand they like shiny things. Especially if made of carbon...
I have found that Vitreous Corundum also works well especially if accompanied by carbon.

It has to work better than vitreous humor at soothing the savage beast.

My monthly Vonage bill is increased by over 41% due to taxes, fees and other charges.
And why am I charged an "Intellectual Property Fee"?

Magic Jack here, no monthly bill, no monthly taxes/fees no County/City/Municipal charges... same Internet, I paid something like $69.00 for 5 years in 2008, I'll pay again in a couple more years for another 5 years worth.
Free long distance and local calls, and 911 works
Verizon "data only" phone line and Internet costs me $21 a month .... and I tell everyone I do not want to give my phone number to "I do not have *telephone service* where I live" and it's the truth.... I cancelled "telephone" and just use the Internet.... like Vonage does, but cheaper.
I plug a "main/base" wireless/cordless phone into the Magic Jack, and have 4 other "satellite" phones on chargers around the house in bedrooms etc.

41%? Yeouch.
I pay by the minute with my LD carrier, but my usual monthly bills are under $20. Often under $12. Guess if you're not chatty, Vonage isn't always the best answer.
And I have to admit - I use an IP phone for work all day - sometimes the connections are such that it is completely unusable. I hang up and try again and sometimes it gets better. I and my co-workers have gotten used to learning to identify and work around the 3 to 4 second delay between speaking and being heard that happens regularly. I know 3 seconds doesn't sound like much, but try to have a conversation where it takes 3 seconds from what you say to be heard by your partner, and then have them respond. Makes for a very disjointed conversation, believe me. You learn to start talking like in the old-tyme movies about transAtlantic calls where you say a phrase, then pause and wait for the response. :-)

I know some if not all of this is a repeat, but felt inclined to share.
"If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it:
A; Guns have only 2 enemies -rust and politicians.
B; It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
C; Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
D; Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.
E; Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.
F; The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.
G; The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win, if necessary, cheat.
H; Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty.
I; If you're in a gun fight: 1. If you're not shooting, you should be loading. 2. If you're not loading, you should be moving. 3. If you're not moving, you're dead.
J; In a life and death situation, do something. It may be wrong, but do something!
K; If you carry a gun, people may call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
L; You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language.
M; You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
If you support your 2nd Amendment rights, please share!"

I respectfully disagree.
