Hey, you're the one doing all the work.  In other news my CC company flagged the transaction as potential fraud since you're on the other side of the pond.  I told them it was authorized so no worries.  Having been a victim of ID theft before, I actually appreciate this.

Heh.  And mine didn't have a problem with it.  I'm not sure if that should make me happy or paranoid...

Do you often send pounds sterling across the pond?

Nope, not much.  I must just have a very trusting bank.

Then again mine was a credit union Visa.  Any losses they take actually can make a difference, whereas the too big to fail banks can always get a bailout to cover any losses.

I am so grateful to all of you who have helped me out. I worked in care for two years and I hate Alzheimer's and what it does to people and their families. So thank you again.

And now for something completely different : www.niccisixx.com it's a bit sparse right now, but it will be filled with neat-o things very soon.

Out. x

Back when I was in my first year at UCD I was accused of being a racist because I started a parody club called S.E.D. (Students of English Decent).  They had all these Afro/chicano/every asian variety clubs on campus and I said to myself, "self, where are the clubs for my ethnicity?"  Anyway, I'm a 'merican citizen but many of my ancestors were from the British isles.

Joey, your post was entirely off-topic, which, since this is the off-topic topic, makes it entirely on-topic, thus violating the off-topic premise of this topic.

Please try to stay on-topic.

Thank you.
