Our bit of lemonade without the sugar today, reached a difficult decision regarding our elderly dog Biscuit and had her put down. 15 years since we adopted her at the Richmond shelter. No data as to how old she was then. Blinded by some genetic condition, hobbled by arthritis, and mentally she just wasn't with us as anymore. The vet agreed, my wife agreed, so why do I feel like s**t? Lion King

Hoping for the best for your fellow passenger

dignified and beautiful, thanks for sharing mysty

daggone it Jazz! I also got an email today saying "sorry" but it ain't happening (well, folks in California don't say it like that) but I'm getting zero. Substitutions were proposed so of course I said send them. And add a red or 2 while you're at it. Save 1 of those six Jazz, so we can split it some day

That is kind of funny Lirio! Of course not actually freezing. To invoke a local expression, that's "sweater weather" around here! But my mom would have called it good sleeping weather, as she turned down the thermostat & had a last glass of chardonnay.

We might need a little help to pull that off, even with pretzels and cheese - if you're in the neighborhood, we'd be delighted to have you stop by!

No stress! Agreed it is subjective, but now our first glass comes with a story behind it - so thanks for that. Besides I held back and only ordered 6 😌

OK Jazz, just ordered a half-case Auntsfield SB based on your rec which was endorsed by Dave in a chat at wine.com. Added a couple Aglianico reds from Italy to meet a coupon, & because I fell in love with Aglianico in Sorrento.

JP that sounds delicious! I read it aloud to my wife and she agrees. We've been baking halibut in various ways for dinner, this innovation sounds worth pursuing!

Yes. Some days nothing beats a chilled sauvignon blanc

@mysty Feels like a red wine night tonight...

@Dolcevita Diva our heartfelt condolences. He was a beautiful cat, heart breaks at your pictures. I do believe our loved deceased pets wait for us somewhere, somehow in the next life.

Leo August 17 here Could someone pass the wine?

can't help myself - can you say more? - my dear Uncle Harold was a mortician, we had such fun in his basement while the grown-ups enjoyed their wine

Then yes, you are correct. If I remember right, the same relaxed dress code holds at the Grill, Spaccanapoli, and of course room service is always available.

If only things never changed...

so we may be but from here in Virginia, comforted by your "ya all"

End of May not that far away. Have a great time Lois 🧡

Based on our experience, you won't be disappointed, tip or no tip. There is no need to tip.

So today was replace the kitchen faucet day. I had done so 20 or so years ago and felt certain I could do so again (always saving up $ for the next Silversea cruise). What I didn't account for was our recently rescued cat's assistance...

Your approach will work fine. We also put money in the crew appreciation fund on checkout. Lots of threads on this if you want more details or other opinions.

Yes. And maybe 15 months ago we were on the RCL Quantum of the Seas. I have no experience with Celebrity. Wish I was better with words, but I'll just give it a try. I had a wonderful time on both of these cruises & I was not at all confident I would! They both lose in comparison with Silversea IMO, but neither trip was unpleasant. They were both clean. Someone else cooked every meal and cleaned the room every day. On both trips, the room attendant was polite and pleasant. We were on the ocean (soothing for me) and visited some interesting places. There was a good TV in the room, etc. I hope this isn't presumptuous, but I hope that you find a good cruise, be it on any line, for this Spring.

Looks like fun!
