It seems that I can now log in with my iPhone also. In fact, I didn’t have to log in at all. It did it automatically.

I seem to have more time to read now. It slowed down considerably when our grandson was with us 24/7 this summer. I just finished one of the new James Patterson books 22 Seconds, and I am currently about half through the old Brad Thor novel, Use of Force. Waiting in the wings is the new Lee Child Book, No Plan B, that Susan is currently reading. Also waiting in the wings is the new CJ Box book, Treasure State. I am also on the library wait list for new books by Nelson DeMille and Michael Connelly. Just hope I am done with these by the time those are ready for me.

Seems to be common to the phones, where the pop up box is usually hidden. I thought maybe upgrading to iOS 16.1 yesterday had something to do with it. I tried chrome, Firefox, and Safari on the iPhone, and none of them work. At least it is working on my iPad and computer now.

As a seasoned cruiser, you probably do not need to be told to keep your phone in airplane mode and Wi-Fi on. I believe I remember following your blog on one of your other cruises. If your largest ship was around the size of the Coral Princess, my guess is that you are going to be impressed with the quality of the shows, as well as the size differential. Enjoy your cruise.

You would think they would have tested things out a little more to avoid these log in issues. Don’t they know that old people hate change, and get easily annoyed?

I couldn't log in on my iPhone or iPad, but could on the PC. Once I cleared all cookies and website data for Safari, I could log in on the iPad. I will have to try clearing on my iPhone now. I did notice that the avatars got deleted. I had to upload an old low res one, so I may have to do a new one now.

It has been a few years since we have been there. We liked going for food and drinks, and listening to the bands outside. Never in the colder months though. Let me know how it is. Looks like they only have bands on Fridays this month.

Like most people in the US, I woke up this morning and tossed my losing Powerball ticket in the trash. But we can all still dream big. Wednesday, it will be at least $1.2B.

After raining most of the day, the rain stopped, and it turned into a nice night for trick or treating. We take a table to the end of our drive, and a few of the neighbors will do the same. A few of the neighbors will come over and hang out at the bottom of our drive, and we all get caught up with one another. Yes, we are “THAT HOUSE” A couple of my favorite costumes tonight. Sometimes, dinosaurs need to hitch a ride. We saw nothing but polite kids trick or treating tonight, and lots said thank you, especially when we told them they could have more than one.

Happy 21st birthday to your granddaughter.

That is the only time I eat the bread. Dip it in the escargot.

I just saw a story on the news, that a restaurant had to raise the price of their hamburger from $36 to $50. I have never met a hamburger that is worth $50.

I think Ricky got his name because their old cat was Lucy. Who knew these young kids even heard of Lucy and Ricky?

What a nice baby shower! So you are saying you want her born on my son’s birthday? He wasn’t due till January, but came early enough for that tax deduction for the year.

I know I posted a couple weeks ago that my daughter’s cat, Lucy, passed away. It was the only pet my grandkids had ever had, and they took it very hard. My grandson probably took it the hardest. He went from “I don’t think I want another pet.” to…”It will probably take me a couple weeks to love another pet.” Meet Ricky Ricardo Ricky is 4 months old He has moved right in And evidently, Ricky has managed to shorten that 2 week estimate, for my grandson to love a new pet, to one day. He just curls up on his lap and follows him around.

Our city picks up yard waste, but it has to be in toters or biodegradable bags. For our neighbor’s, we drag them on a tarp to a wooded area behind his house. The owner of the wooded area has given him permission to put them there.

That is nice that you got your neighbor’s done, and had a nice day to do it. I blame my wife for today’s work. We were relaxing and reading, when she announces. “I am going out to blow more leaves. I need steps today. “ So I go outside to help her, because it would be wrong to sip a cold drink and read while she is out working. I mean, we had just bagged 60 bags yesterday. How many more could there be? The answer was 10 more, so we are up to 108 bags for the season so far. It looks like our trees are about half done shedding leaves, so we will have many more to go. Then, she looks across the street and says “we should do the neighbor’s again”. So off we go to do that again. At least I am thankful we don’t have acorns this year. Now I am back, reading a book and sipping a cold drink with plans to relax in the hot tub tonight.

+1 @HBE4 Love that skit too. But we do have a doorbell.

The Solarium is where we spend every day onboard. I don’t think I have ever been in one of the outdoor pools on any of the Oasis class ships. I would not be happy.

Sounds a little like my day, yesterday and today. Blew all my leaves into piles, then did my elderly neighbor’s leaves yesterday. This morning, finished bagging leaves for this week. 60 bags this week Two football games today also. Grandson’s team had their second loss. Next week is the playoffs. Also watching our granddaughter cheerleading for her football team (next level up from grandson’s). They went undefeated.

We recently downgraded our cable package to include just the channels we normally watch, because we are typically watching one of the streaming services. We have Prime, Netflix, and Disney+. Downgrading cable only knocked $50 off the bill, but we haven’t missed anything yet.

I have a sister-in-law that went on a couple cruises with us. She would sleep 8 or 9 hours each night. I told her I had twice the cruise she did, because she slept through so much.

4.5 hours of sleep is about my average each night. You mean people sleep longer than that?

There was an Elvis sighting this morning. (Along with a bat). I don’t know of any other 10 year olds that know the lyrics to so many Elvis songs. It seems his favorite is Burning Love. 🤣🤣 Lord Almighty, Feel my temperature rising!

Great minds and all. I was just going to post the land of the midnight sun. You beat me to it. Plus, I didn’t know drinking had a season.
