Schif Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 So the behind the scenes stuff where money actually moves from account to account is facilitated by one of the major companies, Visa, Amex, MasterCard. A debit card will almost always have an affiliation with one of those. An ATM card typically isn't partnered with one of those companies and works to directly access your account at a bank, typically a small local bank or a credit union.

poconoceancity Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 I’m getting unofficial reports that NJ will close all schools from before thanksgiving until after MLK weekend. If that’s the case we will live in the POKES this winter and get out on the hill every afternoon during the week, if the hills are open. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steezy...your area doesn’t seem to be that bad with Covid cases. My friend who’s a Philly teacher is renting a house in Ventnor until May for cheap(only $1,000 a month plus utilities) and she’s loving it and they’ll likely be virtual the entire school year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I saw this post it looked familiar. Bottom left on the back should say "IDEMIA4 73..." Your bank just ordered 2000 more of them and they are currently in production in Colombia. Super basic card. No chip, no antenna. Just a basic HiCo black magstripe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do actually have a debit/check card in my wallet. Is it an ATM card as well? i think so, but i havent used the thing since like February, and i was never a big fan of going to an ATM to take out money. I always used it for groceries. Why? i have no idea. now i just put everything on the CC, because most times you can just wave it at the machine, or toss it in the card reader without having to touch the pin pad. Its probably time for me to shred it. 11 minutes ago, GrilledSteezeSandwich said: Steezy...your area doesn’t seem to be that bad with Covid cases.

And Carbon County is way low. But i would bet there would be an influx of people over the winter. I doubt that POC is the only one thinking of doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon county is no longer way low. Their per capita case rates are just as bad as the Lehigh valley and Philly suburbs if not worse. 33 new cases in Carbon yesterday population 64,000 170 new cases in Delco yesterday population 566,000 Edited November 11, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was at liberty to move anywhere for the winter for proximity to skiing 7 days a week I can't say the poconos would be in the running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes from 12/26-2/15, if it continues we will definitely be heading North, South or West until April 1st when my business fires up for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Law Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 9 hours ago, Barb said: Our school district just announced they will be 100% remote learning until at least January. They said they can no longer handle schools on an individual basis. They were really trying to keep k-2 in person as studies have shown that age bracket does the worst with remote learning. My son’s lung collapsed again and he had the surgery to fuse it to his chest wall yesterday and is now in ICU. Now I am just really concerned about COVID for him. I have been careful myself, but now I feel I should up my game even more since he is in my bubble. Sorry to hear about your son ! Don't forget to take care of yourself too and posi vibes sent for a quick recovery! ++++++++ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
