Go Liese! I've moved from the kitchen island to the couch in the living room.
If anyone sees my motivation, send it back please.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I figure if I can use my MC and Visa in Jamaica and Kenya, one should be good with either option most places.
And then I realise I don't visit the First World much.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Report: the Trader Joe's dark chocolate bar with speculoos is so good that it makes me not mind the fact that it's dark chocolate (and, seriously, I don't like dark chocolate; I'll generally turn down chocolate if dark is the only option). I would eat the hell out of that on a regular basis if I could. So I think I'm glad the speculoos is off-limits for me (I ate one tiny piece from Tim's bar).
Totally unrelatedly, Tim made a Pandora station based on the Cocteau Twins, and I feel SO FUCKING OLD. It's like the 1990 playlist of my college radio station. Which, don't get me wrong, was pretty good stuff, but still, that's over 20 years ago. t weeps

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
LEE! pack your stuff! RIGHT NOW!
I WAS. And then I got to the part where I have to figure out what to do with Perkins' crate, so now I am wallowing for a few minutes.
I gave myself until 9:00.

I love my husband, but his politics are wronger than the idea of a threesome with Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. Argh. If Clinton deserved to be tarred and feathered for committing adultery, then Gingrich does as well. Tit for tat.

Steph, I totally need to look for that, because that sounds like the best use of speculoos I've heard of yet!
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 think the issue you may be thinking of is what some Americans have found in train stations, that the automated ticket machines will only accept the chip-and-pin type credit cards. Many restaurants/shops PREFER those, but are ABLE to do the old-school kind that we Americans have. There are a couple of banks starting to offer them for people here, and you can also get a prepaid debit card that has the chip and pin, but you should be OK, and able to get cash from the ATM--the issue will be more foreign transaction fees (most credit cards charge an additional 3%, but a few like the Cap One card don't)
