  1. OK, I have my limit for the ski season. It is almost April and it just will not go away 😞 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM WEDNESDAY TO 4 AM MDT FRIDAY... * WHAT...While a few light snow showers are possible today and tonight, it now appears the most significant snowfall will not start until Wednesday morning. Total snow accumulations from Wednesday morning through early Friday morning of 6 to 12 inches are expected from passes to valley floors, with locally higher amounts of 12 to 18 inches in the backcountry above about 8,500 feet. * WHERE...The Sawtooths, Stanley Basin, Sun Valley region, Big Lost Highlands, and Copper Basin, including but not limited to Banner Summit, Stanley, Galena Summit, Ketchum, and Sun Valley.
  2. We will see. Actually, Cramer touted Silicon Valley Bank as a Buy most recently. Buy a Serta mattress and all is good. 😉
  3. Relating to the bank failures. A week ago, Cramer touted the Titanic as a "Buy" 😉 I had to add some humor while we all chug a few glasses of wine waiting for tomorrow.
  4. We had some of it shoveled off yesterday. LOL! Early this morning we had 14 inches in 24 hrs and it is still snowing hard. Probably another 4 to 5 since early this morning has fallen. It is good for the rivers and the forests and helping to keep the forest fires low this year.
  5. and it is still snowing hard. DH went out skiing and there are avalanche warnings, delayed opening, etc. I am staying home and making a chicken posole in the crockpot for a warm, cozy dinner tonight. 🙂 Spicy!
  6. @Daveywavey70 Little Bertie would not last long in my neck of the woods today 😉 My front deck and the heat melt is on.
  7. Except we are here in Sun Valley and back to the lake in May. Could be a wild ski day. I just came in from the slopes and think I will hunker down tomorrow in front of the fireplace.
  8. Batten down the hatches! Oh my! We like snow, but no this much. Yikes!
  9. We enjoyed Ponant, as well. Here is a tip: if the cruise is not full, they will offer an upgrade and it is negotiable 🙂 We were able to upgrade to the Owners suite on our Antarctica 14 day trip with them for $5000. Well worth it while in that neck of the woods 😉 Are you staying at the Four Seasons on the bay when in Bali? We were there many years ago on a land trip and it is lovely. Also, played golf at 2 courses in Bali. Hot but fun.
  10. Thank Goodness! The blonde brain here was having a panic attack about the kidney stones. I eat most of the foods on Que's list and think I may be doomed. 😞
  11. Ok. I actually like Kale. LOL. I add it to soups (or spinach) and do not mind a bit of it in salads. Great in Zuppa Toscana. When visiting my Grandson in Newport Beach we go to a place called True Foods Kitchen. They have a beverage called Kale Aid. I always order it and actually bought a juicer a few years back to make it fresh at home. My Grandson asked for a sip of mine while at the restaurant and he liked it. He then asked if he could have one too. I was surprised! Kale, cucumber, lemon, apple, and celery blended and served over ice. It is quite refreshing.:) As for Tofu, Yuck! I do not like fried foods either except for French fries and who can pass up a donut?
  12. Do you also have morning sickness? I am not a Dr. but may be able to provide a diagnosis.
  13. I actually owned one almost identical a few moons ago. She is older than I am 😉
  14. My condolences to all of the men in mourning today. A rare beauty and au natural. No fillers anywhere 😉
  15. They add a bit of fentanyl to each carton of eggs 😉
  16. I have done both S Georgia and Antarctica with Ponant a few years ago (pre Covid). This cruise was their 1st of the season and it is quite pristine and not as much penguin poo. It was truly beautiful although once was enough for me. I had been to the Falklands prior with a cruise around all of S. America. Here are the Roaring Forties we encountered for 4 days getting to S. Georgia. Baguettes and wine helped us get our sea legs 😉
  17. Yes! Set your alarm for the sail in. It is worth it. Hope you dock in the Harbour too. Perfect place.
  18. Yes, that was what I was alluding to when I made my post. They are handling their disappointment quite graciously. I do hope they have the opportunity in the future to return to both OZ and NZ. I enjoyed my time in both places immensely and happy to have "completed" that part of the World I had always wanted to visit. 🙂 It is a very long flight and no plans to return but wonderful memories.
  19. Geez, flying to NZ and OZ from the USA is very costly and takes lots of planning due to length of flights. We did this cruise with X a few years ago and so happy to have done the part of the World. If we had to float around on the ship and miss what we basically paid for, we would be livid. Many of you are much more easy going than I would be. That is a good thing. Best of luck.
  20. Actually, my 1st post ever on CC was due to a problem I had with a cruise line and some mold issues growing under my bed. I was very upset and was also called a drive by because I was new here. I am sympathetic towards the family that were clearly very upset and needed to vent. Have some compassion.
  21. I would suggest Tauck. They provide luxury and excellent tours along with special venues only they have access to.
  22. @MamaFej You have had some wonderful experiences and that is all that matters. In all honesty, nobody cares if you are middle class, what type of handbag you carry etc. We are all cruising to see the world and that is what we all have in common. Next time on board a ship, strike up a conversation with someone wearing a Rolex or carrying an LV handbag. You would be surprised that many of us never grew up with a silver spoon either. We just worked hard and got lucky 😉 But let me add, most that own those items do not bring them on cruises because they do not want to stand out or get robbed. You never know who you will meet and your experiences are what we want to hear about.
