Have a wonderful, relaxing 2 weeks. I hope the weather holds up for you. I know you're in your happy place. Keep enjoying.🏖️

More severe weather coming our way until 9pm tonight. Severe thunderstorms, large hail, possible tornadoes, the trifecta of North Texas weather. No car damage from hail a few days ago. I wish we were where @A&L_Ont Andrew and family are!

VERY scary. Glad she's ok. I love my countertop air fryer. Enjoy your new electric range. What made the old one "explode"?

Duplicate. Not sure why it appeared again after replying.

@grapau27 Graham your videos are spectacular. And I appreciated the audio!

We haven't checked our car yet but will soon. We're putting it off! 🫣

Wishing you lots of luck!

They have a wonderful son! I never tire looking at your photos, of a place I never got to "see" until I came into this thread.

Just had some bad usual TX weather. Tornado siren and hail stopped...sigh. I hope our car that's parked outside isn't damaged. Hopefully @GeorgeC @firefly333 and @TravelGirlinDallas are safe with no damage. Roofers do very well here after a hail storm. 🤨

So sweet!

Dani, saying I look forward to meeting you on Bella 2 would be an understatement!! Jack is looking forward to it also! I hope it works out for you and DH and meanwhile you have a wonderful cruise meeting up with your cousin. I know you all will have the best time.

Remember, Bella 01 was during Spring break. I never encountered bad behavior by these kids. Although very evident around the ship, no kids running amok in the WJ, pressing elevator buttons or disrupting anything we were engaged in. We were busy having a great cruise. Just our perception. We enjoyed going to Solarium for breakfast and I too would be unhappy if it was closed to us. Park Cafe was always quiet and Central Park a lovely, quiet oasis. After all we WERE on the Oasis for Bella 01. 😃 As far as Yeshiva week, I would try to avoid any cruise with a large group. I prefer having all venues open to me.

I was just in the "humor" thread now located in Floataway Lounge. I don't know why people complain that they won't go in there anymore because it takes too much time to hunt it down. I have the threads I go in regularly listed in my favorite places. Not hard to find at all. I also do not understand why posters who never posted in here ask if THIS thread will be transferring to Floataway Lounge. I think we have posters in here that for some reason cannot post in Floataway. That would make me sad. The reason I'm posting in here and not "there" is because this is my comfort zone.

Wow great and very useful info! We saw "O" at The Bellagio approx. 20 years ago at the rate of $99. Best show ever.

Hope your sun burn isn't too painful. Knowing how well prepared you always are, I'm sure you have something in your bag of tricks to take away some of that unpleasant burn. I know aloe works well. I wonder if their version of cream is the real deal or just a coffee lightener like coffee mate?

I just heard a wonderful Carole King song, I had never heard before, "Been To Canaan". I'll attempt to post the link. If you're a fan, enjoy! Photos shown during the video enhance the song.

I can't imagine how bad the wildfires impact is on areas close to the actual fires. The pictures posted here are chilling and unbelievable. I hope the fires can be contained ASAP but I read that will only come when the weather changes. I hope our Canada friends in here are safe and not impacted greatly.

Maryann, so wonderful that you and Jim can celebrate your grandkids wonderful achievements. I know they'll continue for a long time to come! The gift that keeps on giving! Happy birthday to Susan from me too!

My NJ grandson is 15, granddaughter 10 love their TX visits to spend time with us. That is a constant that will lovingly always be in our lives, yours too!

We usually stayed in what was the Las Vegas Hilton many years ago since Jack's trade show was based in their convention center. It was located off the strip and therefore more quiet. However, we did stay at the Flamingo Hilton once and I do remember how beautiful and serene that pool was, so "unVegas like". You described it very well. So sorry to hear what it's turned into. I don't think I embrace progress very well. There was a wonderful Chinese restaurant in the hotel next door, I think Oriental Palace. So good!

Great photo. I spotted you right away without the tip. The eyes never lie. My husband exhibited at the Vegas ASD trade show. It was how I was able to visit Vegas so many times. Wonderful memories getting together with other exhibitors through the years.

@Sea Dog Greg, may your dear friend's memory always be a blessing to you. Two years ago, I lost a dear friend of 45 years. We're lucky to have had their friendship.

Hope everyone stays safe from those awful fires. Lots of schools are banning outdoor activities, NY included due to the hazardous air quality.

Congratulations, Sue, but why am I not surprised?? 😉
