Yes, thank you Gen for that correction! Congrats Andy!

We have a winner..by a dog's nose! It was was a close race between Doc's Cuban Man and Colblimp's Man and His Dog. It's over to you Colin!! Congrats! And thank you to all who voted, I think we have a record of over 60 votes!! I am sorry I couldn't put more images in the final cut, so many were worthy! It was a joy to go through them all and heartache to cull them down to only 8! Michael

I have never understood why dental is separated from all other medical health issues, so most people have to buy stand alone dental insurance or pay out of pocket. At least that is the case in the U.S.

We have a "horse race" going on here! So please vote if you haven't yet! I love a close competition but we still have 5 days yet til the poll closes.

I know it seems odd but Alamy treats Stockimo as a separate entity and wants to keep it that way. I don’t make the rules, just try to play by them.

Hi Sarah, Sorry but Stockimo can't be discussed on this Alamy forum. You will need to contact Stockimo directly with a question or maybe there is a users group on Facebook. Michael
