Welcome, Austin, though you've entered when everyone is asleep in Cold Dark Corners.
This is the Cold Dark Room.
Grab a coffee, pull up an armadillo to sit on and relax.
And have 3 points to begin.

Well, thank goodness for technology!
Earlier this evenings hubby got a "scam alert" email about our primary credit card. One phone call and a mere 10 min later: the number was used by someone in New York to make a very small purchase, but was outside of the pattern of our purchases. That account is now inactive and we've got a new card coming within 2 working days!
WHEW!!!! I am SO GRATEFUL this got caught so quickly!

I used to be annoyed at the credit card companies for tracking our buying patterns, feeling it was intrusive. BUT NO MORE RESENTMENT!
I will tolerate unsolicited advertisements since they are so quick to notice aberrant purchases and let us know!

Impressed with their efficiency, but was probably down to technology they got the number in the first place.
Still, no harm done
Yep, fair play to them.I used to be annoyed at the credit card companies for tracking our buying patterns, feeling it was intrusive. BUT NO MORE RESENTMENT!

Crikey, it's lonely and quiet in The Cold Dark Room tonight.
Listerine is a mouthwash that is antiseptic.
Septic is ordinary Cockney rhyming slang for an American as in "septic tank" = yank)
So an antiseptic is a step further as in a Londoner who doesn't like Americans.
So another stage on a Listerine is the same.
I am NOT a Listerine.

Still very quiet.
Alone with the armadillos.

The worst is when you catch something but can't dispute it until after it officially posts.
Also Cockney rhyming slang.

That's because you need lights ,heater,and air freshener in here . ha-ha
In terms of foreigner 'terms of endearment' for Americans, where does this rank compared to 'merkin'? Better or worse?
No lights, no heater, but air freshener is definitely needed.
I thought you were going to bring some along ?
If you can, post a screen shot in the 'Help' section. Do you visit the forum from a mobile device or desktop?
Who calls Americans merkins ?
I thought I knew what a merkin was, but nothing related to Americans.
Because it sounds similar ?
People may be using it on the net, but I think I'll give it a miss, thanks.
And an American claims to have invented it! (in it's new usage).
Gosh, i didn't know that.
