On an anti-Samsung and pro Samsung topic. I ordered a new MacBook Pro 3 Max. I think it cost as much as my first car. I ordered a Samsung T9 SSD drive. jc

Ok, then just to make sure I don’t get out of the atmosphere, I cry at Cats, too.🤣

Ha Ha! I think this only means you are older than me! Captain Kirk and the Tholian Web was devastating to me at 8.

I have 33 nights coming up on the Voyager. I was amazed how quickly about a month ago, I filed online, and had the three OBCs within 3 days from filling. I think but don’t remember off the top of my head it was like$450 jc

I am a cryer, aka a Romantic. I think the first thing I remember crying at was Old Yeller at the theatre. First time I remember crying at home on TV (world of 4 over the air channels) was when Captain Kirk got caught in the Tholian Web. I cry every single time at Mama Mia…. I wish I didn’t. Everytime, I start talking about the people who sacrificed for us to have what we have now… yep. So, you all may think of me as a hard case, and I am, but I am quite aware and appreciative, as well.

I am not that good. I am sort of old man pretty good. 🤣 Have looked out from the building over the falls eating lunch. That was 20 years ago, last time I was in Washington State. Wow…. Time flies

I think this is probably the correct answer. Lawyers do not want to give the other team ammunition. That said her posts her have always been pretty non confrontational.

She is one of the few if not only person I have actually met. Before covid we were on an Allure Roll Call together, and she came up and watched me FlowRide one time. We didn’t talk much, but she seemed nice.

I don’t have you Tube TV, but internet is a separate transaction typically. I use DirectV Stream, but it is the same only more expensive and I can’t watch my local CBS affiliate because they are in a dispute. I only stream. At my house, we have a fiber option, that is 65 a month and can deliver between 300 and 1000 MPS. At our lake house we are now using T-mobile home internet (50 per month) which is a 5G cellular service that delivers between 100 and 200. It will be going with us in January, along with my wife’s AT&T cell phone and my Verizon cell phone where she pays $60 a month and I am paying 90. If when we are in the Airstream I get frustrated, I will buy Starlink for about 600 and another 150 a month (pausible) for the Airstream. The content is expensive but having the internet provider much more expensive. Especially if you are like us in the Airstream needing multiple because you want internet when you get to your campsite, and who knows what system works best there.

The bow is fine, it is that stupid Dutch oven lid over the bow, that makes it fugly. how does the designer who built that get a job?

You prefer the nasty litter box to going for a walk with the dog? 🤣

Yep, exactly!

Fries, chips, are the best healthy version. It does really well making buffalo chicken wings, although my DW prefers Asian wings, so usually made with a sweet chili or teriyaki sauce. It is ok for coconut shrimp. Deep fryer wins but it is a healthier option. It is best to replicate frying without the large amount of oil. So, use it for things that are fried. Hence the name air fryer. It can do other things, but those are its sweet spot.

Where is the snow? You live in Rhode Island in late November and there is no snow, nor rain, nor a cloud in the sky?

I am on the fence about decorating. I have a blow up army, that I don’t want to deal with this year, since we are leaving on the Airstream trip first week of January. That is my Christmas. We have no kids, my mother and father are long deceased, my brother and sister are deceased. My nephews have kids and no great need to be with us. I am definitely not putting up the 12 foot tree and all of the ornaments. If we do a tree it will be a small one. Blow ups…. Hmmm…. Such a pain to keep upright in the wind and snow and rain. Ah humbug. 🤣

I bought a frozen butterball today, smallest I could find, 14.05 # cost $13.08 plus tax. It is in the Yeti in the garage, hopefully thawing by Friday. DW’s 86 year old aunt is coming to town from New Orleans it has been several years since we have seen her, so, going to cousins house for two lunches on Thursday, then to the lake Thursday night. cooking turkey on Friday so I have leftovers to make our favorite turkey tetrazzini. Probably freeze half of it for more Turkey Tetrazzini at Christmas time. I have bought the fresh high dollar turkeys in the past, and I will say they are better, but only marginally. I liked looking at the date on the frozen bird, good until sometime in late 2025…. I am pretty sure I don’t want to eat a two year old frozen turkey. 🤣 jc

Yes sports package black no chrome red trim on mirrors race red. Couldn’t pick a color last year so figured race red was the answer. LEER cap with Thule bars. Not sure I will ever put anything up there. Trying to make it look like I am no an old man. Probably a fail. 🤪

I have a brand new iPhone 15 pro. I haven’t used it for more than 3 days. I haven’t tried to post a photo with it. I am now going to post a photo and I expect it to post with zero effort. Let’s see what happens as I am going to post whether the picture appears or not. Viola. My new truck shell to protect my pinnarello dyodo from thieves

That is some very generous tip money

George C, sorry to hear about your kitty.

Wow thanks Jimbo… such a helpful and insightful comment. I am pretty certain this thread, is the perfect indicator for Royals success or failures. lord j

Top 40 sucks. I love music, have a multiple massive audio systems, and I don’t really know any of Taylor’s music. I have heard it, but it just doesn’t stick. Top 40 is just commercial noise. Making money for the system… not interested. That said, the 70s parties have always been well attended in the main promenade, the hush stuff usually gets stuck in a smaller venue to have a full audience. TS… nope. Has anyone seen the movie Nope… Yep… NOPE

Queen definitely did their best work in the 70s. MJ is good for the 60s 70s or 80s. Journey broke up in 87, but they were definitely part of the 70s. I hated them in both decades. I think the 80s would be more about the bands like (we are only talking pop music, not real music aka rock and roll) Depeche Mode U2, REM, ABC, World Party, Adam Ant, Culture Club, Go Gos, the Police, etc…. I hate dance music, but disco aka 70s party is way better than the dance electronics stuff of the 80s. Not a fan of either. But I would rather dance to YMCA than Come on Eileen. JMHO and YMMV jc

As someone who has used the key several times. If you can show up before first boarding times, you will be on within 30 minutes of the key. The activities included is worthwhile if you would considering booking the FlowRider for a private session, but it doesn’t really matter for anything else. It is like buying the internet, but since everyone is supposed to buy the key 2 people in a cabin means you each have internet, but in reality, unless you live on the internet you can share one package. Unfortunately, you have way more than 2 people in the cabin, it is going to cost a fortune for you all to have the key. You can buy Chops lunch reasonably if you want that do that. Do not buy the key.😇 jc

Clearly ought to be the house band. We saw Todd about 7 or 8 years ago in St Louis at the Pageant. He was being Todd, which means he played stuff nobody ever heard of, like a weird Loren Green song (yes Bonanza Loren Green), one of the guys playing then was Kasim Sulton from Utopia. Anyway, he would stop and tell silly stories, my favorite and I think appropriate for the Utopia of the Seas, was the one about Daft Punk. There was a party after they won the Grammy, and Todd and wife were invited. They arrive, and figured since Daft Punk recorded some of his songs on their early albums Todd thought they would be at the main table, but they were quickly redirected to a far distant corner of the room. He said Daft Punk was brilliant, because with the masks, Todd said they he could have toured forever, and just had someone else do all of the touring while he stayed at home counting the money. jc
