Good to know. The primary card I use is a generic Citibank. I used it when in Prague, but need to check if there are fees now.

I love how we know everything.

Why I asked here even as I was googling. Google is confusing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Slate is Chase, and not affiliated with MC or VISA. She's bound to have problems.

Never have I had an issue with VISA. I've never used a MC overseas.

This is awesome and up-to-date.

Thanks. I have CitiMC which I used 16 years ago in Praha, but plenty other Visa cards if it comes to that.

In the UK, we use credit cards everywhere and for everything (hotels, restaurants, gas pumps, car rental, bars, funeral/cremation service) with zero problems. We use our home bank debit cards to take out cash, and the bank fees are usually cheaper than using a US bank Atm that isn't ours. No problemo.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

LEE! pack your stuff! RIGHT NOW!

I cleaned my room, like a lot today. My mom was here to help, so that was embarrassing, but it got done and I even moved my bed around and changed the sheets. tomorrow we are cleaning off the tops of dressers, side tables and maybe the kitchen counter. CRAZY.

sitting in my computer chair the last two nights, I smell smoke. I thought it was my hair yesterday because I had been at the house of a person who smokes inside, but I showered and today in this chair I still smell it. no one ever smokes here and when I smell the actual chair it does't smell of smoke. wth?

what has changed on the board in the last few months that the posting box auto-corrects like a lot now? or is that my computer and not the board?

You're welcome. I started paying attention to this stuff when my father went ballistic after the rental car charges for one month in Italy also came with a foreign transaction fee of almost $50.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Must be your browser; the board doesn't autocorrect.

Okay, towels are in the wash! I cheated on the linens since the SO already did the guest room and I don't wanna do the master until I can do launder and get them back on. We only have one set of flannels. So I used the time to put away laundry OMG!

Next up: clean mirrors & door glass.
