Thanks for the daily and fleet report. I am a cat person but will celebrate National Dog Day in memory of my St Bernard, Brandy, I had growing up, as well as the other 2 days. I do not like the quote (or the alternative) but I would take the meal without the butter beans. Pass on the drink and I would like the wine and I have never been to Norway. Cool days in history. No monsoon action is in the forecast today but should ramp up this week. Northern Arizona had some tragic flash floods and one person was swept away (they did find her about 20 miles from where she was swept away - tragic). Presently it is 80F with 46% humidity and we might hit 100F. I still find this very pleasant as the humidity decreases during the day. Today is putzing around day and trying to get rid of some the things I really don't need anymore - like clothes in my closets. I have so many ones that I wore when I was heavier and I am afraid to toss them "just in case". We will see what I come up with. @ottahand7 I am sorry to hear about your DB; I hope things go better for him Safe travels for @StLouisCruisers, @aliaschief and DW, and @Cruzin Terri and DH. Happy Anniversary to @CrabbyPatti (I love that name!!) and @jodi58! @Vict0riann I am glad your DH was discharged and I hope the night went well. Thoughts for those in the world in war zones and those that need extra support. Cheers to those celebrating. Have a great Monday everyone!

Thanks for the daily and fleet report. Growing up, we camped at many western National Parks and thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the service workers. I am both a donor and recipient of second-hand clothing and have gotten many good bargains there. I might have to try a whiskey sour but definitely won't try an Orange Bomb (energy drink 🤢). Love chickpeas so the meal would be wonderful but not the sweet wine. Never been to the Maldives (just close - Sri Lanka). I love the quote as it took me a long, long time to realize I needed to love myself. Interesting days in history. We barely made it to 97F yesterday but no monsoon action. It was a very pleasant day but hoping for some rain today 🤞. Presently at ~0715 it is 78F with 57% humidity. Another lazy Sunday is the plan today. Maybe get some inspiration from my Spain book or cook or nothing at all. Bon Voyage to @LAFFNVEGAS and @dobiemom!! Enjoy your AK cruise!! The cruising list sure is getting longer!! Thoughts for anyone needing extra support and/or who are carers for those with medical difficulties. Cheers to those celebrating. Have a fantastic day everyone!!

Thanks for the daily and fleet report. I cherish my knives (Henckels), don't have a waffle maker, and Pluto is STILL a planet in my eyes. Love the quote, make pull pork a lot, never had a Harvey Wallbanger (but may just try one), would love to taste the wine and never been to Malaysia. Very, very interesting days in history. A whopper of a thunderstorm came through with lightening cracking super close to me. The rain was hard and brief and the temps dropped fast. The smell was so wonderful. I hope for a repeat today but who knows. Cool morning at 0700 at 76F with 62% humidity heading up to low to mid 90s. Should be a nice day. Nothing on the agenda today except maybe cleaning as I am pretty busy the next couple of weeks. Picked up a Rick Steves Spain book yesterday from the library (sorry to have read about his cancer diagnosis but sounds like the prognosis is good) so I need to read that in the next 3 weeks. Someone should call Zuiderdam and warn them about @dfish and Sue, @Sharon in AZ and @Crazy For Cats and DH boarding today!! 😆 But seriously, I hope all of you have a fantastic time!! Thoughts for all who need extra support. Cheers for those celebrating. Have a great Saturday everyone!!

Good morning to all and thanks for the daily and fleet report. I proudly wear a nerd badge! I don't think I have ever had a Cuban sandwich but it does look tempting and I would love to ride the wind. I have eaten a Shish Tawook but never made it (must try sometime), the drink would be ok, pass on the wine (white) and never been to Prince Rupert. Interesting quote and days in history. We had some lightening and thunder during school yesterday but only drops of rain. I HATE lightening and thunder. It was reported yesterday Tucson had a tornado a couple of days ago - VERY unusual here. Today should be a repeat of yesterday with high monsoon action and highs reaching the upper 90s. Presently, it is a muggy 78F with 63% humidity. Happy Birthday to @Vict0riann and @AroundWithMAPTravels! I am glad @Heartgrove SIL, @Seasick Sailor DSis and @NextOne are doing well post-surgery. Keep up the good work!! Thoughts for all needing extra support and cheers to those celebrating. Off to sub at the Jr High! Have a great day everyone!!

Very late check in for me but I subbed today though I read the daily during planning period and lunch on my phone (and I HATE) typing on my phone. As for a lot of you it is late but only about 1800 for me. Lots of Happy ...... and congrats to ...... that I will miss if I list them but just know I wish Happy Anniversary/birthday/Bon Voyage/safe travels to all who it applies to and thoughts for those who need it (and that includes the kitties!!). Have a great night!!

Thanks for the daily and fleet report. Victims of terrorism and any self care are good days to recognize but I will give my spumoni to someone else. LOL on the quote ('cause it is true!!). I would definitely like the meal and would try the drink; if someone would buy the wine for me I would not refuse! I have never been to Sokcho. Two great days in history. We had a very nice rain last night but I got worried after the numerous weather alerts and the wind really started picking up. But it was fine and the rain was nice. The app states "cooler temps have arrived" so we won't hit 100F! High 90s with storms on the horizon. Presently it is 81F with 58% humidity (so a tad "muggy") at 0730. I was a total slacker yesterday so today I have to get some things accomplished. It is PD day and I do have some "assignments" to complete online so that is a nice addition to my pay. @marshhawk and @Haljo1935 Gosh about the kitties!! I hope they get better soon. @kazu I am so sorry the surgeon said the surgery was a bust. I hope you can get a treatment plan that fits into your schedule and you like. @ottahand7 Love the hummingbirds!! It reminded me I need to get my feeder replaced (I have done that yet) @NextOne and @Seasick Sailor Thoughts for an uncomplicated surgery recovery Thoughts for all in the world and here who need extra support. Cheers to those celebrating and to those on the growing cruising schedule!!

Thanks for the daily and fleet report. I just have to put this in first: Please @MISTER 67, don't leave. I don't necessarily think of this thread as a HAL only thread but one of "friends from around the world" sharing and supporting each other. I hope you reconsider. While I like bugs, I squish mosquitos BUT I will celebrate the meaning of the day as well as the other 2 days. George Carlin is one of my favorite comedians and his take on the English language and its inconsistencies is remarkable. I think I would like to try the drink (its pretty!), the wine is too expensive, never been to NZ. Now the meal - why, just why??? 🤨 Beautiful end of summer day and not as muggy as it has been. Presently at ~0700 it is 80F with 55% humidity going up to ~101F with a chance of thunderstorms. I frequently check in on the Juneau webcam (thanks @leerathje) to see their weather just as a contrast. I think I will stay here!! Had a great time yesterday. The high school I subbed at has banned mobile phones during class (actually, I think it was the entire district but I am not sure). No warning, no chances, nada!! I think it is a great thing. I noticed how much the students were actually doing some work during class compared to last year. As the teacher was on campus, I asked her about any blowback from either parents or students. She said very, very little. Hmmmmm, I hope they can sustain it for the entire year. While I could have worked today, I am keeping my promise not to work too much. I will have worked 11 days in August and have 12 scheduled for September. It will finance a nice cruising fund!! 😉 @NextOne Thoughts for you on surgery day and I hope @Seasick Sailor's DSis has an uncomplicated surgery also. @TiogaCruiser Bon Voyage!! Have a fantastic time! Welcome home @Horizon chaser 1957 @kazu Congrats on the sale. Starting a new chapter in one's life is full of tears and smiles. Memories will be in your heart as you begin another phase holding those memories dear and close. RIP Phil Donahue - that was sad to read. Thoughts for all needing extra support and cheers for those celebrating. Boy the cruising list is getting bigger and bigger. Have a fantastic day everyone!!

Thanks for the daily and fleet report. Had to look up the meaning of the Delivery Rider Day (it started in London last year): Forget putting delivery items in a car that can get stuck in traffic for long stretches of time! Instead, people in urban areas can benefit from the use of bicycle delivery riders who can make it quickly and efficiently to their destination – and in an earth-friendly manner. International Delivery Driver Appreciation Day is here to say thank you and show appreciation for these folks who are making deliveries on bicycles all over the world! So I will recognize this day and birth control pill but someone can have my Pinot Noir. I agree with Frank, I like the 3rd recipe (Siracha!!), I love blackberries so yes to the drink and wine, and I have never been to Peru. Thanks to TN making the amendment pass (they were the 36th State to ratify it) and a somber day in WWII. I woke up to high humidity even though the temp was in the mid 70s. We had a nice thunderstorm last night and expect more today. Presently at 0700 it is 77F with 73% humidity under mostly cloudy skies. We might hit the low 100s today but we will see. Lazy day planned and maybe some little chores. Happy, Happy Birthday @Mr. Boston!! @kazu your house is beautiful!! I am sure everything will work itself out. Thoughts for all who are struggling and cheers for those celebrating. Have a fantastic day everyone!!

Good job Big Sister!! LOL!!

That is absolutely despicable!!

After I had my rotator cuff repair I just didn't want to take the pain meds as often as they prescribed. Got over that pretty quickly after I took double the amount so I could sleep the second night instead of taking them every 4 hours to stay on top of the pain. Never, never again and I started doing it correctly. This nurse is NOT a good patient most of the time!!
