Coincidentally, I just watched that movie as well. Started last night but fell asleep half-way thru the movie as it's almost 3 hours long. Watched the last half this morning but before I did that, I did something really stupid. I was wondering where it was filmed as I found the exotic locations to be beautiful and of course, I came across a spoiler as I was consulting Mr. Google. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Currently watching The Lost City with Sandra Bullock. Love her! Also has some very exotic beautiful locations although I can pretty much guess where it's filmed. Hawaii, I think, even though in the movie it's somewhere mid-Atlantic. And with most rom-coms, I have a pretty good idea how this movie will end.

I agree. Back in the 1970's & even 1980's, I used to love Dunkin Donuts. Back when each location made their own. I still remember the old commercial of the baker getting up in the wee hours of the morning (the middle of the night for most of us) and shuffling off to the store muttering "Time to make the donuts" over and over. If I was lucky, I'd be in the store when a new batch came out. Coffee was real good back then as well. Not sure when they switched to factory made donuts but the quality has declined. So did the coffee which now resembles hot water with a hint of coffee flavor. To be fair, it's been years - maybe decades - since i last had DD coffee so maybe it's gotten better again? A couple of years ago, they removed "Donuts" from their name and now are just "Dunkin". No longer just about the donuts, I guess.

If he's like me, he probably rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath "There will be another sunset tomorrow". 😊😉

Add me to the list of people that can't swim. I can float, I'm a real good floater. Lake, pool, ocean, doesn't matter. There have been times when I float on my back and the water is calm enough, I start dozing off only to be awakened by the life guard whistle if I drift to far away. But when I start to swim, one of two things happen: I start to sink or I stay abouve water but no forward momentum. Just a lot of thrashing and splashing.

Probably teaching the kids the Electric Slide or Cupid Shuffle. And it's only rude if they didn't dance with the bride. 😁😉

@dani negreanu Finally got around to reading your Beyond review over on the Celebrity boards. The thread is now locked and only 4 pages long. I remember it being longer a few days ago. I'm assuming things got a bit nasty & many posts needed to be deleted? Anyway, sorry the long awaited cruise was such a disappointment. As was the "meeting" with Captain Kate

Mohegan Sun casino in CT has a Krispy Kreme bakery right by the entrance from the parking garage. It would always be our first stop when arriving and last stop when leaving. 🙂 Want to park in the other parking garage? Well they have a small store by that entrance as well. And in the shopping court connecting the casino to the hotel and food courts. There is no avoiding their donuts! lol.

I'm glad I read all the posts before responding. I was just about to respond that I had been to VooDoo donuts in Portland, OR and didn't know they had made it this far east. Having said that, I've been to many a gourmet donuts shops over the years and while all were pretty good, not quite sure they are worth the price. But then again, I'm a pretty basic donuts guy. Just give me some Krispy Kreme or store bought Glazed Entermanns and I'm good. 🙂

And my innocent mind was thinking the Twin Peaks restaurant was named after the TV show with similar theme. Now I get it!! 😲 lol

I wonder how many of those people were NY Ranger fans? Or Florida Panther fans? I was in Tampa a few weeks ago for Game 2 & 3 of the Ranger/Lightning series. Watched Game 2 in a sports bar but attended Game 3 in person. I want to say 40-50% of the crowd was Rangers fans, no shock as there are a lot of NY refugees living there now. At the sports bar, it was a lot less. In fact, one of the sports bar , Hattricks, about a 5 minute walk from Amelia Arena, the bouncer got on the PA systems and jokingly asked everyone to boo the Rangers fans. Nobody did. At another bar, the bartender shut off the house music and turned on the game with sound at my request. Most of my Ranger fan friends fall into one of two categories: They cheered on the Bolts to win as there is no shame in the Rangers losing to the eventual champions. And then there is me, the bitter fan, who wanted the Avs to beat the Bolts so bad the would wave the white flag and forfeit the series after 2 games.🤣 Having said that, Amelia Arena is nice, great layout, Thunder Alley a lot of fun and I plan on vsiting again next season.

@dani negreanu Wishing you a speedy recovery. @George C Happy Anniversary. And the pictures of Mayflies reminded my of the infamous "Bug Game" between the NY Yankees and the Cleveland Indians in Cleveland back in 2007. A up-and-coming rookie pitcher Joba Chamberlain for the Yanks was lights-out un-hittable in what was a stellar season. That is, until a gazillion midges (close cousin to Mayflies) hatched on a warm October day and invaded the stadium, attracted by the bright lights. Joba was covered in midges, lost his composure and a Yankee win quickly turned into a Yankee lose. I can still see images of young Joba covered with the bugs. The pitcher of Cleveland was unfazed. Who says home-field advantage doesn't count?? https://www.mlb.com/news/bug-game-forever-part-of-tribe-yankees-lore-c257346172

There will be a test afterwards. lol

Make sure to post the "after" photo after the holiday weekend. The more you clear glass you can see thru, the better the weekend. 🙂

You picked a great CC name as you truly grew up an Ocean Boy. 👍

I've only been to Cape Cod once as an adult, back in mid-1990's. Stayed in a hotel in West Yarmouth and used that as "base camp" to explore the cape hoping to bump into a Kennedy. Didn't see any, at least none that I could recognize. Did a little beach-hopping and went to Nauset Beach as it was named one of the prettiest beaches. Unfortunately even though it was mid-July, the air temp was hovering around 60 that day & it was cloudy. But the water temp was also around 60 so going into the water felt good. Still cold but I was able to escape the breeze. We did a whale watch tour out of P-town and according to the captain, it was one of the best whale watching seasons ever. Probably saw 30 or 40 whales, including a few that swam right under the boat. All and all a good time & not sure why we never made it back. I have friends that have a small 2 bedroom cottage in the Wellfleet or Turo. I might be making a trek up there in July or August to visit.

That is so awesome that someone was able to collect the old signs. I wonder if they bought them at an auction or if they are a contractor for renovations / demolitions or in they are someone that knows someone that knows people. I don't think I've ever been to the Quarter Deck but many years, as I crossed over the causeway on to the island, seeing the sign was like announcing you have arrived and can commence having vacation fun. And I thought Hands was still in business as someone had purchased the store after the owners decided to retire?

They returned to form today.

You are correct. Although if I was a football fan, I'd probably got with the Jets, if only to annoy my brother and my in-laws. Plus, who doesn't like a underdog team who's due for a magical Cinderella season?

They lost a game to a team that clearly has their number. Thankfully, its only June and not even halfway thru the regular season.

Harper has a good attitude about it: ""I kind of wish it would've hit me in the face. I don't break bones in my face," Harper said with a laugh. "I can take 98 to the face, but I can't take 97 to the thumb." When does hockey season start again? 😉

Man, that is Cold As Ice! 😃

Who is the photo-bomber in the lower left? The woman next to him seems to enjoy it but the two people standing in the back seem less than amused.

Welcome back to the World Wide Web. Looking forward to your cruise review and pictures when you get back home.

Can you bid up on an upgraded room with wet bar? 😉😇

I did get better! In the beginning, I was too tense and tended to overthink and overthrow. Put too much spin on the axe. The result was the axe harmlessly bouncing off the boards. I'm sure the liquid libations helped me relax but it was a petite, soft-spoken, slender young mom of two next to me that corrected my throwing technique. She was pretty much nailing every throw. Her last bit of advice to me: "Throw it like someone is trying to murder your step-daughter". I nailed the next 20 of 25 throws!
