Reading this thread reminds me of the old "Real Men of Genius" (formerly known as "Real American Heroes") radio commercials, each spot dedicated to an unsung hero. This one is dedicated to the "Mr. Too Proud of Texas" guy🙂

Very annoying and more than a slight inconvenience.

Wishing @helen haywood a speedy recovery. To cheer you up, here is a picture of Leonard, trying to act like he's a tough attack cat while guarding the open door

I think part of my issue was I had trouble hearing some of the dialogue so a few of the running jokes were lost on me until the end. It was in an older theater where the sound system isn't the best. Plus, there were two women behind me that felt the need to give a running commentary on every scene. After turning my head a few times, not looking at them but kind of in their direction, they finally got the message and quieted down. I have another group of friends that want to see the movie so i may tag along with them for a second viewing, in a newer theater with a clearer sound system. And seeing Lee Majors at the end was a hoot.

Agree, it was pretty funny. I never had much of an impression of Ryan until I saw "LaLa Land" that's when I began to appreciate him. And I've always liked Emily, probably since "The Devil Wears Prada" too. I really enjoyed her in the most epic Lip Sync battle ever with Anne Hathaway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SZfznYgToc

As long as there is no serious health concerns, it seems like a minor price to pay for enjoying life. Especially since it's a temporary inconvenience and only happens occasionally when vacationing.

This one? Seems like they spent more time plugging Barbenheimer😃

I was not. I had recorded the game as I went out for $5 Tuesday movie night & watched it when I got home. Unfortunately my DVR only recorded up to the end of the first overtime period 😠 so I did not see end of the game. I did see the replays afterwards. Exciting game & the first true test of adversity the Rangers faced this post season. I will be watching tonight's game live. However, I was at this past Sunday's Game 1 and have tickets for Game 5 this coming Monday so I need the Rangers to lose at least 1 and only 1 game. 🙂 BTW, the movie I saw was The Fall Guy with Ryan Gosling. Loosely based on the 1980's TV Show. Good, not great, but enjoyable. Worth the $5 dollars if you like impossible stunt movies mixed with basic rom-com formula.

Isn't that why we have fingers? 😇

At less than 50% capacity, I assumed no restricted access to the Loyalty Lounge during Happy Hour?

And just as importantly, how do 5 guys fit on there? 😄

As popular as they are, I don't see anybody getting too excited by yet another Oasis-class ship unless its going to have some new & revolutionary features that the other O-class do not have yet. Same can be said about Icon #3 Once the details of Project Discovery are slowly leaked, there will be plenty of interest. It seems people have been begging Royal to make a new & improved smaller ship for years.

It is, except on Tuesdays & Wednesdays. Which just so happened to be the 2 days I was there. Open 7 days a week July & Aug. https://www.abseconlighthouse.org/ Tallest light house in NJ.

Have a great cruise!

Does this help? I was down to my last $20 - actually $17.90 according to the picture - when Heidi replenished my gambling funds. I forgot to take an "after" picture when she was done be "stunned" but it was several hundred dollars. Enough to keep me going thru the night & into the next day until I could redistribute my wealth to other various slot machines. Adding another Heidi fan @A&L_Ont

Sure does. If it floats on the water, it's a cruise!

Probably a fan of The Bambino too! And all things NY Yankees obviously. How was the cheese steak? I had 2 while in Atlantic City. For some reason, pizza and cheese steaks always taste better on a boardwalk when smelling the salt air & hearing the gulls & ocean in the background.

@Sea Dog just has to remember not to say "To the nearest Cruise Port" when getting in the taxi. 😉😇😅

@Sea Dog You're probably well on your way to Hilton Head by now so have a fabulous time but please don't cut your trip short. There are a few different ways to handle a situation like this. One way is to ignore the person, let them finish their "rant" and once they are done unloading their feelings and thoughts, resume having fun. Hopefully it'll be a short rant and not an all-nighter. Another way is to make a pact with the group about what topics are off-limits. If someone breaks the pact, the have to buy a round of drinks or make dinner or clean up the after dinner mess. Lastly, if you have the patience, ask them why they think the way they do. And then just listen and not debate/argue the point. After all, neither one of you are going to convince the other to switch viewpoints. But sometimes understanding why a person thinks a certain way makes their "rants" much more.....tolerable, for lack of a better word. Have fun .

I am so sorry for your loss.

LOL, saw this a little too late. Sorry. However, Hard Rock Casino wasted no time sending me an offer for 2 more "free" nights so there will be a next time. Hopefully you and your husband will be there returning soon! Yes! Well, mixed emotions. Happy with the sweep but I had tickets to Game 5. But I just got my money refunded so that will more than offset the money I lost in AC Actually, I rented a trailer. I like to think big. You gotta "think big to win big" 😁 In reality, all I needed was a Dixie up to bring home the spare change I had left.

I'm gone for 2 days & I feel like I missed 2 months worth of postings. So while I scroll back a few pages, enjoy some pictures of the Absecon Light House in Atlantic City. Walking up the boardwalk - The World Famous Atlantic City Boardwalk according to all the signs - with the Atlantic Ocean to my right and looking to my left, it looks like the lighthouse was seriously misplaced. Weird to put a lighthouse in the middle of the city.😂 Just kidding. Pretty sure when it was built in 1857, there was nothing but sand around. Slightly better angle. After walking 10-15 minutes, the boardwalk curves to the left & parallels the inlet from the ocean to the bay. You can see the ramp from the street to the boardwalk with the inlet right behind me. Much closer to the water. I scoured the internet for a whole 3 or 4 minutes trying to find an old picture of what it looked like before anything of the surrounding area built-up but couldn't find anything. But here is a stock picture I stole, er, downloaded showing how close it is to the water and not standing n the middle of a city as the first picture would indicate.

Off to Atlantic City for a few nights. Will be thinking of @DaniDanielle as I know she loves it there and will also be thinking of @Lionesss and hoping to channel her gambling luck "virtually" 🙂

I thought the same thing about Lenoard, that perhaps he might have ear mites. But nope, he loves having ears rubbed & doesn't mind if I get more than a little inside. He seems to prefer actually.

That happens to me occasionally when using my laptop. Then it'll correct itself after a few hours. I don't think I noticed it on my phone.
