Well, if you lived in an old house like we do (1865 or something) with 2
yellow lab puppies, 1 9yr. old black lab, and 4 feral kitties, you might
welcome it coming out of your nose Lol - you know, clear the sinuses. :) 
eeeek :)

haha I bet.  The dogs messed up our debit card as well.. Aetna doesn't use
the 3 character security code on the backs of cards, that some banks
require, and of course my bank does require it... so the bank put a freeze
on my card because they saw three failed attempts by the Aetna nitwits. 
Argh.. so after I got that straight with our bank, Aetna says I can send a
check.. My bank was on the phone with their credit card services division
for about an hour while I was "holding", so I was being told the
status of stuff  Only to find out from the aetna person, that they
cannot add the sec. code field to their software hahahahahaha  I almost
told them to let me write them a new program
