I hear you! [emoji23] And then you’re left to collect the pieces, literally, because the child is small, and it takes forever, and it’s actually faster just to do it yourself without their whining by your side. [emoji23][emoji23]

And after said structure has been demolished, you either vacuum up the bits you failed to pick up with a dreadful clatter... or step on a bit with bare feet which is total agony!

It’s a way of using a bank card without bank fees, and in multiple currencies. I have set up the Danish kroner one and requested a USD and Euro card too. Helps if you travel and don’t want to lose on the exchange rate, which can be disadvantageous in touristy places, or if you need to transfer money abroad.

Good to know.. thank you!

Sounds like a good card to have if you travel.

It would seem that we all have experience here [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I have a wardrobe upstairs that has been here for ever.
When my nephews and nieces were small they used to love the tin of Lego which was kept upstairs and would hide their creations under the wardrobe so that when they visited again they could continue with their models.
To this day it is still called the Lego wardrobe! In the past I have had to explain to friends that it isn't actually made of Lego but is a storage place for it!

I think you have to donate or something.
I THINK it works like this: You send a donation check (one time donation) and you get the Tortoise Club banner. Or, if you sign up to send a recurring amount that automatically comes out of one of your accounts, you get the Platimum Tortoise Club banner. When that happens the first banner is supposed to drop off. Obviously Josh still has some work to do.
