Just had a purchase blocked for being "suspicious activity"...

Because it was an overseas purchase.

Just thought I'd let the UK pet talkers know that my bank's fraud department automatically flags purchases made in the UK as probable fraud.

Evidently they haven't heard about this funny thing called a global economy.

Last year they "protected" me from buying a television in a store in person.

Wow, that's odd! Can you call them and get them to okay it?

I was tempted to make this a puzzle but decided to put it here instead. "The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk." -- Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking

Oh, one more thing. Today's Dog of the Day Meadow is a Podenco Ibicenco who was rescued from Spain and now lives in California. Last week we had a Dog of the Day named Baltasar, who was also rescued from Spain and lives in Canada - he is a Galgo Dog, though. Two dogs from Spain in the same month on Dog of the Day! Thank you, Karen and Paul for selecting these two dogs because I learned a lot from each one AND I got to enjoy their wonderful stories and pictures. I hope they will both have very long, happy, fun-filled lives!

So glad you enjoyed them! we love sharing happy stories and different dogs' tales with the world!

I dearly wish I could go into work and NOT be involved in the politics of the Union...

however I basically burned that bridge when I transferred into a facility with extremely weak leadership in the Union and a lot of members looking for change.
