Geez, that's not cheap fun any more. Last time we cruised (awhile ago admittedly!) I think Bingo cards were $5 each! What happened??

Sounds like Atrial Fibrillation to me. She should already be on meds, long ago! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

Privacy? What Privacy? I gave up on that illusion about 20-25 yrs. ago. We have no privacy. Big Brother already knows everything about you! Ditch your phone. It tracks your every move down to the nearest 3 metres (accuracy)!

^ That is not a pretty sight! lol

WTH IS that?? Seriously. I need an ID.

Card stock might be that old but the laminate layer goes on with your info printed on it, just before you arrive! Incidentally, they used to change the cute card design (around mid-year) every two years or so, but not sure if that still obtains.

Some folks collect them over time and have neat collections established now. Here are a few items in my collection.

As a cardiac patient myself, this ^ is interesting! I didn't know what you've outlined. Myself... I got away with just a stent (and meds) when I had my STEMI heart attack two years ago now but it's always good to know med.technology.

Solution to the peeling problem: Get away from the cost-cutting on laminate/glue and watch the peeling stop dead in its tracks. Get back to what was in use 5-7 years ago when peeling simply was not a problem! People have no idea the silly extremes to which Corporations are going to save 6.4 cents on every 100 cards issued.

And you're probably going to carry that purse anyway -card or no card! They're always trying to build a better mousetrap, even though it's been perfect already, and for ages now! IS the card system broken? NO it isn't. Leave it alone.

No no no, you're an amateur. SO much more effective to take note of their cabin number and ring them with a cheerful wake-up call. Several times. Anonymous AF too!

CARD for me: I collect the stupid things and have a collection worthy of note. Seriously. I'm trying to figure out how my future collection of wrist-bands will be stored in an album. lol Card goes in wallet. Wallet goes in left hand pants pocket. OH the sheer burden of it all! It's scary -and breaks me out in a sweat every time I have to exert all that energy and burn calories to get it out! 'First World Problem' I reckon.........
