    Yes, he would and we're quite pleased that you have. Welcome back, SweetSexyLoverBoyBear....:wub:
    You are MUCH too kind! :wub:

    ..........

    Hoping everybody has as good a Sunday as you possibly can, given
    everybody's situations (whatever they may be).

    ..........

    Tibs... I hope you are able to see some new progress with every
    visit to DH. You know him better than any of us (yep, it's me...
    "Captain Obvious") so you know how to lift his spirits and urge him
    on in his rehab.

    Good morning Bear :)

    It says in ^that^ article online retailers "must" have an age verification
    process in place as of tomorrow. (I imaging it means US online retailers
    only.) Anybody here see any place which is using a REAL age check
    system... and not just a check box "yes, I am over 18"?
    I haven't actually filled any out yet but have received a couple of e-mails asking for different information.

    What type of info are they asking for? Nothing has come my way yet.
    One asked me to go into my account and edit my shipping information and while in there to simply input my date of birth. That's simple enough.
    Someone wanted picture ID ... that probably won't happen. I've seen one that wants your driver's license held up next to your face in a selfie photo :blink: Yeah, NO.

    I'm kind of thinking a simple "date of birth" will not fly with the FDA.

    I'll scan and send my license... with PRIVATE info blurred out. They already
    have my name, address and if they need DOB, fine. However, I'm thinking
    the FDA will want them to use a REAL age verification service... like:
    Age Verification - Veratad Technologies - Identity Verification Solutions
    Instant Age Verify - LexisNexis
    or
    Age Verification - Age Verification - IDology
    ...among many others.

    And if they want to see MY face next to MY license, then I will NOT be held
    responsible for any lasting damage to their eyeballs or psyche. The phrase
    "that which has been seen cannot be UNseen" comes to mind.

    Remember... they already have your CC number, expiration date
    and security code. What more damage could they do with a scan
    of a license? (I just checked and mine does not have SSN.)

    You're probably right about the DOB.

    So far I can't think of anything I want/need bad enough to do the selfie thing :unsure:
    We shall see ...
