Greg, good to read that you are walking that long with no pain.  Keep it up, it only gets better, or so I am told.

 

I have found that taking off some excess pounds has worked wonders for the way I feel.  Now if I can just keep those extras off while my grandson is here for the summer.

Thanks Mark! I have been working hard at losing weight but it’s coming off slowly. I’m still down 50 pounds but would like to lose another 30-40.

And that interest is.....

She dates an acquaintance of mine. You might have heard of him.

Ok, I am deeply concerned about my mental well-being. I was driving in the car listening to XM Coffee House and one of my dear friend's, TS, new songs came on..... and I liked it.🫨🥹🥹

I bought her new album. I like it. I also have a vested interest in her now.

Last time I walked a mexican neighbors dog attacked me. Scared here to walk ever since. 

Yikes! I’m sorry that happened to you. Luckily in my neighborhood most homes have wooden back yard fences. There are a few dogs that bark at me when I walk by. It’s funny that it’s mainly all the little dogs. A German shepherd and a large Great Dane just wag their tails at me.

I have had severe knee pain and was told i needed replacements, I started taking an over the counter drug Instaflex advanced and I now rarely have any pain , this was about a decade ago. I know Seadog tried it but it didn’t help him . 

Agreed anything anyone can do to avoid knee replacement is good. While I don’t regret getting mine replaced it’s a hard surgery and a long rehab. You have to ready for a new normal. That being said I now walk 50 minutes a day without any knee pain. Before I couldn’t even walk. From the car to the store without pain and limping.

What site do you use to keep up on the BD happenings?

What @reallyitsmema says is what I use also along with the Monsters and Critics website.

Thank God Gary is gone. Apparently he’s still in denial about his disgusting behavior. Totally agree with @Sea Dogabout both Gary and Ben. Luka, who I really liked at first was also getting a little creepy in the way he was acting towards the stews. As far as I’m concerned I don’t care if they don’t bring back BDSY at all. I’ve never been a big fan.

I have not heard he is officially gone. Last I heard he and Daisy were shooting episodes for the newest season. Unless something else has changed I am not sure what is going on. I know Colin will not be back as he is sailing around the world and has his own YouTube channel. Sure would like to find out what is really going on.

Great question. 
 

Greg it is a quarter machine. 
That you can play .25 cents a spin 

up to $$12.50 a spin. 
 

I play around

Anywhere from $1.25 a spin 

up to $5. 
 

I have been hitting on the $5 amount. 
 

Once I hit max bet. 
It took $12.50 on one spin. 
A tad to expensive. 
 

And yes I use some of the winnings to keep on playing. 
 

Still ahead. 
 

Be safe. 

Thank you! I find this very interesting in learning about slot strategies.

Below Deck Med is coming back early because of all the issues with Gary from Below Deck Sailing Yacht.  They were filming season five with Gary as part of the cast when sexual assault allegations were filed against him from a makeup artist.  He has posted on another social media site, laying in a field of daisies, saying that he was "cancelled because of a lie". Captain Glenn has posted recently that he will be back in 2024 but nothing more than that.  Not sure if they totally reshot a new season or what as they are all under NDA's.

Interesting. I had heard about the allegations but had not heard anything new. Gary is a predator and should have been gone from the show years ago. Currently Ben on BD reminds me of Gary. Maybe not as creepy but way to handsy on the stews.

QUICKIE UPDATE. 

 

Last night I hit a third jackpot for $1,650. 
 

My camera did not catch the picture. 
 

My spouse as my witness. 
 

Phone not broke. 
 

Alcohol effect

 

Later 

I would be curious to know and I understand if you don’t want to answer but would like to know how long did you play before hitting that jackpot and how much money did you put in before it paid out and what denomination were you playing with?

I saw the new trailer for the new season of Below Deck Med with Captain Sandy. Looks interesting as Aiesha is coming on board to be chief stew.

What I’m confused about is that it was my understanding that the new season of Below Deck Sailing would be airing after Below   Deck season 11. I wonder what happened?

2 security guards escorted thru the badge area a family of adults and children with their luggage. 
The did not look happy. 
The family was very quiet and one of the children was very upset to the point of crying. 

Was she a teenager from the hallway escapades? Would be interesting if it was. I still would love to know what happened to cause them to be escorted off.

Keeping the spirit alive

 

Congratulations Sue! Way to go!!

This is very disappointing that teens would do this without any regard to others. I'm even more surprised that it was a group of girls. I would hate to see what their parents are like.

Echoing Lenny's post.  For those celebrating, have a meaningful Passover.  Tonight starts Passover; mainly no bread, pasta, pastries of any kind that contain flour. 

 

This is a very emotional holiday for me personally.  Tomorrow marks the anniversary of my mom's passing.  Each year at this time, I use her huge Passover pot to make chicken soup.  As the soup simmers, I tear up thinking of wonderful memories.

 

Tonight our family (11 of us) gather for our special "seder" holiday meal.  We go around the table and each of us tells mostly funny stories about mom.  

 

Hoping your memories are as happy as mine!

 

 

 

 

Wishing you a happy Passover and many fond memories of your mom.

Today, the excitement ramped up even further.  We dressed in four layers then headed to our Whale watch tour out of Nanaimo, where we were provided with a head to toe expedition suit and goggles.  Boarded our zodiac with 7 others + naturalist + crew/photographer and Captain.  Then spent the most wonderful 4 hours on the water.  After seeing stellar sea lions, harbour seals, humpback whale, we continued on all the way up near to Squamish in the water.  In this absolutely beautiful water, surrounded by snow capped mountains and we saw ORCAS!!!  We spent about an hour just drifting as this family of four orcas (mum & 3 sons - one only 1 year old) swam nearby.  Our Zodiac was the only one there.  We had this magic to ourselves.  I was almost in tears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Took a solid 1hr high speed ride back to Nanaimo but it was so worth it and in all the gear, ours & theirs, we were toasty warm despite the cold temps on the open zodiac.
 

Those are fantastic pictures. Thank you for sharing.

5 pulls at a total of $20 a pull. So $ 100 dollars of free play. 
 

Immediately sent $3500 to the safe kept $$1500 for future slot pulls. 
It was. “ spit fire” and I got the $$$$ on the 7 extra spins. 
 

❤️

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. My luck would be losing that $100 very quickly.

@Lionesss I would be interested in knowing what slot it was and how much you put in before the jackpot? I told Linda about it and she wants you to rub your luck onto her. 😉

When my wife’s mother passed she inherited 3 sets of China that she paid to ship from Buffalo to Dallas where it will never be used. 

When my parents died and I had to have an estate sale, they asked me if I wanted to keep my parents china. I said no as I would probably never use it. It got sold but only for a fraction my parents paid for it. Seems now a days people are not impressed with china.
