Happy Valentine’s Day. I was just reading an article about the high cost of loving in the UK. Yes, that is not an autocorrect. I think I am spending way more on my endeavors than this. The average British couple now spends up to £3,531.20* annually in efforts to sustain their romantic endeavours Try date banking, where you plan for an affordable holiday and get as many dates as possible into a trip away

From our house too. Hope those fractures heal quickly. Our granddaughter did end up in a boot for her fracture, but I think she gets rid of it today. Things have been sad at her house, because this Friday is the father daughter dance, and both of them have the flu and are slowly getting over it. Happy birthday to Lisa.

Maybe if they are on B2B, there will be some, but given the late notice on the 18th cancellation, I would be worried about the next sailing. Lots of speculation on the Sun thread.

I saw that earlier. All they say is it was an elderly lady. I think reporters are getting too young. Anytime I see a story that mentions an “elderly” person, then they mention an age, they are now referring to someone my age. To me, elderly will always be someone older than me.

I don’t recall who recommended the movie, The Bee Keeper. We had a private screening on Sunday at the movie theatre. We were the only ones in the theatre after church, during normal lunch hour. We both liked the movie.

@Sea Dog Greg, I was just reading you have your surgery coming up tomorrow. Wishing you a successful outcome.

I am glad the forecast changed for our area. Now it looks like we will miss most of the snow. Just a few flurries coming down from Lake Erie. I will enjoy the snow, just by looking at those pictures east of us. oh, that s**ks. That is the kind of day the tow trucks and repair shops live for. Good you made it home without further incident.

Naturally, I am behind and still not getting notifications, so I will try to scroll back to catch up. In case no one has said it, happy Mardi Gras. I am ready with my beads and Voodoo doll. Who else has a voodoo doll but me? I always enjoy watching the antics on Bourbon Street, especially later at night. Here is a live stream link if anyone is interested. https://www.earthcam.com/usa/louisiana/neworleans/bourbonstreet/?cam=bourbonstreet

I will be following along too. Although we live within easy driving distance to the port, our luck has not been with us to sail from there. Enjoy.

What sailing? We are on January 4th

But once a video is uploaded to YouTube, it is simple to post a link here. I have done that often in Live reports. Just hit the share button, copy and paste the link.

I find it odd that the deck plans in the app appear to be more up to date than those on the Princess website. I would think they would have one master set that they display on all devices. Maybe they are updating the plans on the website, because all cabins on deck 9 have disappeared from the plan

Not unusual. Probably less than 5-10% ask, so the rest is money they get to keep. Had a similar thing where we had horrible internet one day. I saw some people lined up and complaining, and heard they were giving refunds. Went back when it wasn’t crowded, and they refunded one day of internet to us. If we wouldn’t have inquired, there would not have been a refund.

That is Mother Nature’s way of saying welcome back to reality. It seems she always welcomes us home that way, after our winter cruises. We are only supposed to get 3 to 5 inches from the storm on our end of the state.

One of our trees is still up and lit. After Christmas, it turns into a Valentines tree with hearts. Next up, shamrocks, Easter eggs, and keep going.

My notification emails were coming in for every post, on every thread I follow, and now, nothing. Before, it would even send me an email when a new topic was posted, so I could see if it was anything I wanted to follow. I keep about 15 tabs open on my iPad with the ones I follow, so I have to go in each of those now to see if anything new has been posted. My iPhone, I know I have to change a browser setting, because they automatically close if I haven’t visited one of those tabs in the last 24 hours.

Is anyone else not getting notifications from cruise critic? Haven’t received any for the last couple days, so I fear my email inbox will be bombarded again when they start again.

When my son and daughter-in-law lived in upstate New York, we traveled to Toronto more than once for some good dim sum. I believe Toronto’s Asian population rivals that of SF. Harry, that food looks great. I think I have tried most of those dishes. My daughter-in-law is always saying “Dad, try this!”, and I am always open to trying new things. I think her and I are the only ones who will eat the ‘super spicy’ dishes. I spied Peking duck on one of your menus. A favorite of mine.

@A&L_Ont If I recall, this was one of Owen’s favorite players. This is from today’s news. The Pens honored Marc Andre Fleury for his 1,000th NHL game. In his win against the Pens, he is in second place in NHL history with 553 wins. He trails Martin Brodeur, who had 691 wins. I can’t imagine anyone topping Marty’s record, but MAF has a great record. Our Pens were fortunate to have him when they did.

That has to be the saddest thing I have ever heard!😢

You beat me to it. Happy Lunar New Year, and the start of the Year of the Dragon. I am one of those old guys, born in the year of the dragon, as were both of my grandsons. My daughter-in-law’s parents brought us a few items, when they visited from China, this dragon being one. Unfortunately, they have not been here since the pre-Covid days. I remember their excitement over their grandson being a dragon baby.

Sixty years ago today, the Beatles made their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. My sister sent me this picture today. Not sure the date it was taken, but the film was developed in May, 64. Needless to say, my drumming career never took off. Maybe it had something to do with the quality of the instruments. I had a good laugh over this. 🤣

It currently shows it still at Monfalcone.

The booking invoice you got from your TA should show the itinerary and departure time.

Today is……. Maybe OB can find something that will pass as pizza to celebrate today. May take a couple drinks though. 😂
