Seven pages in, and I don’t know how I missed the start of this. Oh well, I am adding one more LIVE that I can’t keep up with. I like the drink list. It is great to have a goal.

That’s why I like our zoned heating. Three thermostats in our house, so we keep bedrooms a little cooler. Other areas set at different temperatures.

Our heat has probably been on for the last month. Too many cold nights.

I think I may have a photo of me from 2006, pulling a heaving line that was attached to the mooring line of the Serenade.

I have really been having trouble keeping up with this thread and the LIVEs. Today was a day for errands. Lunch today. It was cloudy, windy, and a temperature that said feels like 31°, so it was hard to get motivated to go out for a walk. But we did, and saw this. IMG_6105.MOV I think if I would have stood there long enough, she would have walked up to me.

One thing you didn’t mention, is that you can use the Starbucks app to pay for your drinks at Starbucks on the ship. You will also earn stars, but you can’t use stars on the ship to pay for the drinks.

Greg, that is such a wonderful story. I am sure Elaine was glad she met you and Linda, and that she was able to share remembrances with you. I wish you and Linda a happy anniversary, and many more.

I think it was one of the Oasis cruises we did last January, they were still using those horrible paper straws. Anyhow, it was interesting that we saw the captain’s officers getting handfuls of the Starbucks straws every morning, and nothing else from there. They must have hated those paper ones also.

Now I am getting confused between your thread and John’s thread, with who is eating what meals. All I know is it all looks good, and it is making me hungry. I think we will have hibachi for lunch today. 😋

Yes she is. I think it is aggravated by her asthma. Her temp is down to 100.4° this morning, but she still sounds like crap.

I have found that to happen when I have several tabs open. I have found that hitting the refresh on the page will correct the problem for me. Although, refreshing the page will sometimes then show me as logged out, and I need to log in again.

I probably would have picked the “Island Time” one. Last time we were in Honolulu, we hiked from the Duke statue, up through the tunnel, to the top of Diamond Head, then back to Duke’s for some Hula Pie. Hope you got to have some while you were there.

Greg was posting some pretty good Starlink numbers from his cruise. They must have it up and running on his ship.

Those numbers from Starlink look so much better than what we have been getting on their ships.

So did they recommend you put a screen over the intake, to keep leaves from getting sucked in? Happened once to us, on a holiday weekend, no less. We have a screen on ours now. When you said work station, I was envisioning new computer with multiple large monitors.

She has good days and bad days. Taking things a day at a time. Thanks for asking. One of Susan’s sisters tested positive today. Surprised this is the first time she got it, since she is an RN, and has worked at the hospital all through the pandemic. Fever of 104° and trouble breathing. Not sure what strain she got, but she just got the latest booster a couple weeks ago.

What, you mean everyone doesn’t have one of these? Don’t ask.

That looks so nice. Much better than the 36° and rain that we have this morning.

@Luckynana. Maryann, sorry to hear about Jim. Glad he got good care, and you are home now. Can’t believe how many pages this grew overnight.

There is also one free plug under the desk We use the one under the bed to plug in our charging tower, and put all the devices on the shelves of that tiny bedside table.

While driving to the library to pick up some books, I saw this. Seriously, who pays extra for that special plate. Oh, wait, maybe @Sea Dog Greg would.

We had a busy day, splitting our time between two games at the same time. Grandson’s team had their first loss today. Although the leaves have turned, and there are a ton still on the trees, we managed to bag up 22 bags of leaves today, plus a couple yard carts full. By the time the last of them are down, we will go through over 200 bags.

We use to get gator bites at one of the local restaurants that had unusual appetizers and mains.

Sometimes, I will just do a screenshot of a photo and upload it. Those look just as good as the photo, when viewed on my phone, iPad, or computer, and that is on a 27” monitor. They load much quicker.

Looks like a great family get together. We have a family reunion that they have kept going each year, for 120 years. Of course, Covid years were not well attended. It includes the descendants of my great great grandfather. When those older generations had a dozen kids, the numbers really add up.
