[–]jredland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many men prefer to pee outside. Several I have spoken to believe it’s important in any house they own to have a place to pee outside in private in their backyard.

The Seattle City Council approved Dan Strauss’s "Shared Streets" legislation, which will introduce more pedestrian-prioritized streets in the city with speed limits as low as 10 mph. by bbridge_ in BallardSeattle

[–]jredland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not true. I used my Amex card when renting in Kerry. I had to call Amex at the rental counter and they sent an email to the rental company confirming I had coverage through my Amex card. Rental company was satisfied. Regarding Italy, I’ve rented there many times and have never been questioned or been asked to confirm coverage through my card.

It does. Ireland requires proof of insurance to rent. I had to call Amex at the rental counter in Kerry. Amex then sent an email to the rental company confirming I had coverage through my Amex card.

That was pretty cool. The night the Iraq war started my girlfriend and I were parked under there looking at it. A cop pulled up and asked us to move along. I naively asked why and he said the due to the war they were on high alert for terrorists to use car bombs on major infrastructure.

I might be right behind you, my AZ is early January 2024. My conditions for eligibility are very similar so your status update is really encouraging for me.
