NHProud

There’s an article in today’s Wall Street Journal about The Math Behind The Megaships and the Icon is mentioned. It is powered by liquified natural gas , can hook up to shore power , treats its own waste, and can produce nearly almost its own water through desalination. The hull has a special coating to reduce friction. Almost a self sustaining floating apartment building . I’m curious about the life boats . How many and how large ? Some ports are not welcoming cruise ships because of the effect they are having on the environment . Who will welcome this big boat ?

Can I ask how you got to San Pedro ? Have a wonderful time !

It had me puzzled too until I came up with black Friday .

It’s been a year so trying to keep this going. Cruise less would help in saving some money otherwise don’t buy anything on board .

J . You’ll recognize the cute white dog on the first page . I was flagged twice yesterday !

My husband and daughter are at the Apple Store right now to try to get our statement clarified . Being charged by Yahoo to talk to customer service is outrageous. Shame on them. I hope , you get some resolution to your problem. It is very frustrating for certain. I’ve tried removing the phone app and reinstalling it . We like the Geek Squad at BB .

666 like in witchcraft !

There’s a tip line on on-line food delivery. I also noticed a tip option on Walmart shipping or maybe it’s delivery.

The cruise and festivities start soon with a pre-cruise gala formal dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami according to the web page.

It is private. Ask to join and you will get a warm welcome.

Stunning !

The cost at the low end started at 30K /yr and one interviewee was paying in that range. J ‘s WC is in the 70K neighborhood for fewer months. Super M in an interview told us he averages ~ 80K /yr .for an inside cabin with no frills like specialty restaurants. You’ll be able to read about J’s adventures on that other social media platform. He intends to post frequently according to L . You can register with a nom de plume . Just inform of your screen name or use it .

@Jimbo Good Morning America Sunday did a segment this morning about the cruise to nowhere. You can find it at 42 minutes. Two women are interviewed and one mentions no insurance company would touch it.

Rebooting helps except the time I held the reset button down too long on the modem and erased all of my TV recordings . That was very bad Google advice .

I’m the least tech savvy person on here so no solutions here except I get that message frequently when I try to mail a link or page to myself using WiFi. It goes to outgoing mail . I’ve found success in deleting my name at From and entering my e-mail instead . I’ve read that you should have the addresses in your contact list which I assume you do have already . Right now my daughter is not receiving texts from me . I don’t know why because she was receiving them before.

I had mentioned this cruise to J quite a while ago and he was dubious about it . Obviously ,they didn’t do their due diligence before signing up and divesting themselves of their “ stuff “.

Wow , that is a lot to deal with . Wishing you and Linda a quick resolution to your problems.

That’s great progress. Congratulations !

@Sea Dog It must nice to be so knowledgeable about technology. When I was in school we used an abacus and graduated to a slide rule . Have you been walking outside besides your doc appointments?

So sorry for your loss .

@George C So sorry you are having such a bad day .

My husband’s cousin is an artist and once worked for Hallmark. She has a negative opinion about the company.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. , Greg ! Are you elevating your surgical leg and icing your knee ? Hubby and I went for a walk this morning and he outlasted me and it’s been 6 months since his knee surgery and a year since his first knee replacement. PT guy was at our home the next day after surgery. As you know he was discharged 8 hours after his surgery. PT didn’t bother him all that much so I guess hubby was very lucky . Good luck !

Enjoy the sea days and Hawaii.

Congratulations on your new knee !
