  • Scotiabank Does Not Honour Do-Not-Call List?

    For the past month or two, several times per week, Scotiabank has been calling me from 1-888-882-3811 to tempt me with a “Special Offer”.  Despite declining  it and requesting that they not call back, the calls have continued.  For awhile I stopped answering, hoping that my request to be spared from their marketing machine would…

While I’ve since lost another one that I arguably loved even more, Murph was the first loss I experienced for any of my “adult” pets. It was both unexpected and isolated from any comparable pain. It was difficult to endure, but…
