I believe Schawb not only does not charge ATM fees but the also pay the fees charged by the bank you use

Chime does charge for some ATM usage: Foreign Transaction Fee $0 ATM Fee (in-network) $0 ATM Fees (out-of-network) and Over The Counter Fees ** $2.50

My AX card does not need to be notified. When I tried to do it online says not necessary they track things. No real explanation. Other cards are fairly easy to notify online. Charles Schwab is the best I have found. I have used all over Asia and Europe. I am not aware of any fees although I do not track things as closely as I ahould. DP's point about no foreign transaction fees is very important. The can be more than the ATM fees. BTW, just put $10k in telling them you will be investing soon. Best not to mention you are just looking for free ATM use. They send you the card automatically.

Nation Breathes Sigh Of Relief As Ocasio-Cortez Comes Out Against Having Children U.S.—The nation breathed a collective sigh of relief Monday while watching footage in which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared to come out against the concept of reproducing. Stating they realized that we really dodged a bullet this time, citizens all over the country expressed their sudden sense of comfort and serenity at the fact that Ocasio-Cortez would probably never have children. Fear and trepidation had swept the nation upon the realization that Ocasio-Cortez likely possessed the capability to reproduce actual human children, whom she would then ingrain with her values and politics for their entire childhoods before they would go on to have political careers of their own. "This is a huge burden off my chest," said Lyle Billings of Lawrence, Kansas. "I suddenly realized that there could be two, three, or even four little Ocasio-Cortezes running around one day. So I totally support the congresswoman's position against having children. It's really what's best for the nation as a whole." While the nation is typically baffled at Ocasio-Cortez's positions, her bold stand against having children has become her most popular policy position yet, garnering a 97% approval rating.

We just returned from vacation. Worn, tired and bad weather we stayed home this last weekend. Binge watched season 3 of the Last Kingdom on Netflix. Simple, easy to follow, very watchable like the first two seasons. I think my wife has the hots for the star although she will not admit it. Speaking of Daniel Craig. We watched Casino Royale on Netflix, the reboot of the James Bond series and Daniel Craig's premiere as Bond. Excellent movie. Craig is a first class Bond - swept the wife off her feet when the movie premiered 12-13 years ago. She admitted it then....I cannot image her ever fooling around on me, BUT - I would never leave her alone with him.... Another series we finished over the weekend on Netflix (I think) was Bad Blood. A mafia drama set in Montreal. At times watchable, I found it somewhat boring, a cheap Godfather knockoff (they blatantly stole several key lines). The wife liked it more than me. Perhaps because one of the main stars was also in Sons of Anarchy, a big favorite of hers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Blood_(TV_series)

The storied French fashion house Louis Vuitton, known for its luxury logo-bedecked leather goods, is entering into the gaming arena. Louis Vuitton’s latest release will have Hasbro shaking in its boots or LV chunky dad sneakers. ANNA WINTER REVEALS THOUGHTS ON MEGHAN MARKLE'S WEDDING LOOK Enter: FW Jenga. Yes, you read that right. Louis Vuitton is releasing a Jenga set. The game comes after the much-anticipated second menswear collection from much-hyped creative director Virgil Abloh, which attracted an impressive front-row lineup — Timothee Chalamet, Naomi Campbell, Offset and Frank Ocean — to view Michael Jackson-inspired crystal-beaded jackets and a set reimagined from the NYC sidewalk from the “Billie Jean” video. CHANEL DEBUTS BRIDAL-INSPIRED SWIMSUIT IN PARIS But don’t be fooled — this isn’t your typical, old-school, wood-balancing-block game. LV’s luxury upgrade features 54 LV monogrammed plexiglass cubes that will set you back a cool $2,400. Totally worth it, right? An official release date hasn’t been put on the books but we think it’s safe to assume the FW Jenga set will likely sell out despite its high price tag.

Whew! Figuring things out can be a challenge for the dyslectic! I shall muddle through. One thing I am noticing upper left hand corner is it says the site is not secure? Maybe the old one was the same and I just did not notice? The old site had a button something like "View new" where you could see a listing of everything new regardless of topics, etc.? Is the same thing on this site somewhere too?

Nice!

Does one receive a discount if you bring your Aston Martin?

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme. None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why. The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag. Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied. A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight. On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside. On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed: "A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country". On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside. There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard. Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals. A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London. He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey. The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin. It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son... THIS is the reason we wear poppies. We do not glorify war. We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted. Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Where is this?

Last Monday, Nov 5 my wife and I attended an event in Hollywood hosted by the LA Times. On a small stage was Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman), Co-creator Peter Gould and executive producer Thomas Schnauz. Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring) was supposed to attend but did not show. Peter and Thomas revealed that a feature film based on Breaking Bad in the works. Apparently most of the original cast is signed. They expressed remorse at losing one key producer to the "Deadwood" film in production. They talked about what a challenge the first season of BCS was. How they got a bit carried away trying to set it up and develop the characters, etc. "We got a little too detailed and carried away perhaps. Took a season and into the next to get where we wanted." Bob Odenkirk was a kick very dynamic, hyper like his character. Apparently he got his start in stand up comedy. He left early "because I have a "Get Out The Vote" event in fucking Orange County" (this was election eve). Spoiler Alert: If you have not finished season 4 might be best not to read below: One thing Bob talked about was how much he enjoys doing the show. "It was a ball playing Jimmy McGill. Dull at times playing the part of a guy trying to be a button down conservative lawyer like his brother At the end of season four we metamorphosed from Jimmy to Saul Goodman, the conniving, break every rule slimeball attorney. In season 5, I pull out all the stops. Insane, absolutely wild and crazy. Everything leading up to Breaking Bad.....(I paraphrase of course)" It sounded quite exciting. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/tv/la-en-st-better-call-saul-live-20181108-story.html ‘Better Call Saul’ team discusses endgame plans and another potential character death By LOS ANGELES TIMES STAFF NOV 08, 2018 | 1:45 PM "Better Call Saul" star Bob Odenkirk, left, and co-creator Peter Gould take part in an Envelope Live screening and discussion at the Montalbán.

But is the end of the road in sight for its prequel series, "Better Call Saul"? Co-creator Peter Gould and executive producer Thomas Schnauz played it (somewhat) coy but also offered some very telling hints when discussing "Saul's" lifespan at an Envelope Live event Monday at the Montalbán in Hollywood. Play Video "Breaking Bad" lasted five seasons. "Better Call Saul" just wrapped Season 4. Is the end in sight? Co-creator Peter Gould reveals his feelings about the prequel's possible endgame at the Envelope Live.

The finale ended with Odenkirk's Jimmy McGill beginning his transition into the Saul Goodman that "Breaking Bad" viewers know so well. "I loved the energy of that ending," Odenkirk said. "It's literally what these four years have been building up to." However, the Emmy-nominated actor also admitted he had some hesitations about the pivotal moment as well. Play Video "Better Call Saul" star Bob Odenkirk talks about Jimmy McGill stepping over the line and his transition into alter ego Saul Goodman at an Envelope Live screening. As if two identities weren't enough, Odenkirk also shared his thoughts on more potential appearances for Cinnabon employee Gene — the persona that Jimmy takes on after the events of "Breaking Bad."

While Gould noted that "this story is in a lot of ways a tragedy" — eliciting boos from the crowd — he also offered some mildly optimistic notes to worried viewers.
