It's important to remember that not everyone can hear, or hear well. I haven't read a comic book in years. I can't say that I agree with the quote, although I can look up almost anything, I think it's important to remember things and not look them up (my phone number for example). The meal sounds good, we love pasta. Hope the drink and wine are tasty too. Prayers for everyone in the wake of Fiona. Hope @kazuis okay. Stay safe. I cannot hear very well if people are wearing masks unless they speak very loud. Jim. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL4NOW Posted September 25, 2022 #57 Share Posted September 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Quartzsite Cruiser said: @HAL4NOW Thanks for the update on the Bolt Creek Fire and the pictures. I am hoping the firefighters have been able to bring the fire more under control during the time it has been moving slower. Stay safe. The strategic objectives on this fire mostly call for containment and monitoring. The fire crews have used this time to cut lines of defense, but since those lines haven't all been tested by the fire it is only considered 7% contained at this point. A lot of resources are being used to monitor the progress of the fire. It has only grown about 200 acres in the past three days, so that is considered progress. There is no plan to even attempt to contain the fire on the northern boundary, as that goes into designated wilderness area and the rules of engagement are different. Many natural barriers to fire growth (like steep rock faces and streams) exist on the north side of this fire. 14 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live4cruises Posted September 25, 2022 #61 Share Posted September 25, 2022 @TiogaCruiser, Oh yeah on Cantore. We have family in coastal NC, and when Jim shows up at Wrightsville Beach, you can bet there’s going to be a storm. @smitty34877, thank you so much for letting us know about Camilla’s dad, what a relief! Eternal Father, Strong to Save - I do love the Navy Hymn. @marshhawk, your idea of a rotisserie bed is a good one! My right hip particularly likes it. O Canada, so sorry for the misery visited on you by Fiona. Florida, may Ian decide to just be a meteorological fizzzle.

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted September 25, 2022 #62 Share Posted September 25, 2022 So far this has been a rather lazy morning. If I want to be comfortable sitting outside, I have to go out early in the day before it gets too hot. That is exactly what I did yesterday morning and this morning. As is typical for Texas, our forecast has changed again. Beginning tomorrow we should have six days with the highs in the upper 80sF, followed by six days in the lower 90sF before dropping back into the 80s. I say we should have since Texas weather is so changeable. @*Miss G* I hate add a negative, but I had a reaction to the first shingles vaccine. I was tired, had chills and fever, and a bad headache, in additiom to a sore arm. It only lasted about 12 hours except the sore arm lasted about five days.. This was only the second time I've had a reaction. Everyone reacts differently to vaccines. @HAL4NOW Thanks for the detailed explanation of the plan going forward on the fire. You always hear on the news about fires being controlled. @TiogaCruiser HAPPY 96TH BIRTHDAY to your father. @summer slope Dixie, I'm glad you are prepared to ride out Ian. Please stay safe. @rafinmd On a couple of eastbound TAs on BHBs, the clocks were put forward at 2 pm. Everyone except one grumpy passenger liked it. That passenger complained she lost an hour of daily activities each time it happened. I hope all the Dailyites living in Florida and others in Ian's path stay safe and don't have much damage.

Cruising-along Posted September 25, 2022 #63 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Good morning all! It's a cool 54 degrees F now, heading for mid 70's and up to the high 70's tomorrow and Tuesday. Summer isn't letting go just yet. Happy Rosh Hashanah to all our Jewish friends! There are several members of DH's family who are deaf, and the only comic books I've ever read were (aging myself here) Little Lulu and Archie and Veronica. My sisters and I would read them for hours. Funny quote, especially since it was written pre-Google days 😉 I'll pass on the wine and drink, but the first recipe looks good to me. Monterey holds a special place in our hearts. DH and I met in Monterey on May 18, 1968. I was living in Los Gatos, DH was in the military. We were married a year and a half later. How fitting to have it as the port today, during the week of our anniversary. My photos are from a Pacific Coastal on Celebrity that we took in 2017. I think it was our first time back to Monterey in 49 years. To help pass our 2 weeks of self-isolation before our cruise, I've started putting up my Christmas Village. I know it's *very* early, but after returning from the cruise on Nov. 5, we'll have a house guest for a week in early December. I'm planning a surprise 75th birthday celebration for DH and am flying his sister out from Savannah. This year I'm putting up all 3 long tables for the Village, in other words, the whole shebang! So it will take the full 2 weeks to do it. DGS requested I put it all up this year, and why not -- I have nothing else to do other than pack! LOL Just hoping I can keep the party a secret from DH (he doesn't read CC)! Debbie @dfishI was SO happy to see that you and Sue found a house that you like. Now to get a quick and positive response from the sellers. 🙂 Annie @marshhawkas others have said, on a TA the ship will change time every few days (or more often). It's so much better than flying, no jet lag and so much more civilized! 😁 Jacqui @kazuI'm relieved you had no damage. Wow on that tree across the street!! Thankfully the branch came down away from houses and not onto them. Here are photos from our time in Monterey in 2017. We took the 17-Mile Drive tour that day. Look at that sky! 28 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshhawk Posted September 25, 2022 #65 Share Posted September 25, 2022 When I see the name Jim Cantore I always laugh. For two reasons. When we got off our first Maine Windjammer Cruise, which really does disconnect you from the 21st century, we walked into our inn, and there was a girl at the front desk with her back turned away from the front door ,watching the TV. OMG! A giant hurricane in the gulf, huge, it was called Katrina. The girl sighed and turned back to us, and said, "Isn't Jim Cantore the cutest thing?" And two, when Jim started on the Weather Channel, every woman within four months of starting there, got pregnant. It was odd to say the least. And then I read that Jim and his wife got a divorce. She still ran the channel, and he was still the big star. Although he isn't that tall at all. However you know it's going to be bad, when Jim shows up. 15 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a good idea to have someone around if possible. However, I would rather put up with the reaction that have days of misery with shingles. The pharmacist who gave the injection thought most bad reactions were with the second dose, but told me that if I had any reaction, even a sore arm to have the second dose nearer the end of the six month period between shots and not nearer the two month mark when I could get the second dose.

Rare rafinmd Posted September 25, 2022 #68 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I have a had a good report on my relative in Nova Scotia. I think of him as a cousin but my branch of the family was very slow to reproduce and while Ron is several years older than me my cousin was actually his mother. He lost power for several hours twice but is now apparently has it back for good and is ok. Unfortunately, his sister is near Hilton Head. I thought she was further inland and will be thinking of her as Ion passes. Roy 19 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyV Posted September 25, 2022 #71 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Happy Rosh Hashanah to those who celebrate. Best to those living with deafness. I used to like comic books and still have a collection of Star Trek ones. Good quote, except for taking tests where you had to have memorized things. I like the meal recipes. Pass on the drink, but I'll take the wine. I haven't been to Monterey. Thanks for the photos. I'm cold. I can't get used to these lower temps yet. It's 64F. We had some rain this morning and more possible this afternoon. I didn't sleep well last night with hip pain (bursitis) and knee pain. Getting old isn't for sissies, as they say! @grapau27 Thanks for today's sermon. I have the same as you; some loss of high pitch sounds and tinnitus (which is being particularly annoying recently). Prayers for Fr. David's biopsy report to be not serious. @kazu It's good to hear you came through Fiona relatively unscathed. I saw on the news how PEI and other areas suffered tremendous damage. @Cruzin Terri I hope you are out of the way of storms, but best to be prepared. I do hope you get to your anniversary trip. @0106 Thanks for the recipes. @HAL4NOW Sorry to hear the Bolt Creek fire is expected to flare up and travel again. @smitty34877 Good to hear that Camilla's Dad is ok. @dfish Thanks for checking in. Yay on finding a house you and Sue like, and prayers that your offer is accepted! @TiogaCruiser Early Happy 96th Birthday to your DD! @Cruising-along Nice way to spend your self-isolation time. And a nice surprise for DH's birthday, having his DS there! @*Miss G* I had that same reaction to the shingles vaccine, chills, headache, fatigue for about 36 hours. @rafinmd Good to hear that your relative in NS is ok. Prayers for the Care List. Prayers for those affected by Fiona and those in the path of Ian. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe and healthy everyone. 21 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasick Sailor Posted September 25, 2022 #73 Share Posted September 25, 2022 My first shingles shot was not traumatic. The 2nd one I was fine, went to bed, rolled over and thought I was struck by lightening. Took a few Tylenol and back to bed. Ok but not 100% til the following afternoon. 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will leave on Rome time, with a stop in Spain, two stops on Portuguese islands and then Grand Turk, the end up in Tampa. 15 days. Plenty of time to readjust to new time zones. Are you taking the Pride back to Tampa, 10/28/23, perhaps a voyage you booked on the Ecstasy. Looks like a nice journey. The Pride was my only Carnival Cruise that wasn't Fantasy class, when she was sailing from Baltimore. I do enjoy those long repos, and was due to bring the Carnival Legend home to Baltimore last year, but of course it didn't happen. I am planing to bring Vision OTS to Baltimore next spring when it replaces Enchantment. Roy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
