Again, check your "facts". Israel cannot afford the luxury of those "CO". Otherwise, nobody will serve. Why spend 3 years in the army, risking your life, when you could start to earn a living, or study, or just travel the world?? The handful of "CO" serve... but in jail.

That's indeed a great honor. Here, in military cemeteries, a "civil" lot is allocated only for parents of fallen soldiers. Not spouses. Instead of Veterans Day, we have a day of mourning for fallen soldiers, when restaurants, theaters, shops are closed, and we observe also 2 minutes of silence.

Pls. check your "facts". The Israeli army doesn't have a West Point, therefore no "COs". You enroll, start your service, and if the army see you fit, the army sends you to "officers' school". The army service is compulsory, unless you're a married woman (at 18 years....) or for medical reasons.

I've downloaded Connelly, and he is always my first priority. It's years since I've read a DeMille book, absolutely loved all the early ones -- Plum Island, The Gold Coast, The General's Daughter, etc. This one has, so far, only 4* on Amazon. Connelly is more "constant" for me. Just finished an excellent Grisham -- The Guardians. Highly recommended. Started the newest Robert Crais, so far, a "constant" like Connelly.

No, you didn't. Thank you for posting, it really is an impressive picture with your handsome dad.

@aussielozzie18 + 1 , shorts and snow, shorts and snow.... what I'm missing? ☹️

It took me almost 3 months to gain my strength back.... Baby-steps.

@molly361 Ellen -- all of the above 😘

Same here, Bonnie ( @BonTexasNY). Bummer. Really, it is very rare. Just your "luck"... Would you go to the same doctor?? At least, good news about your ankle 👍

We've had very good experience with debarking in "Civvi" early. However, since you mentioned September, friends of ours debarked Sept. 29th at half past noon, due to high seas preventing Wonder OTS to dock. They had a very late flight back, and booked Romeinlimo at 9AM for a full day of touring Rome. Didn't happen.

Yes, it is my understanding that mortgage banks sometimes send an appraiser, depending on the amount you're asking them to provide.... The only mortgage we ever took was in 1973, when we got married, and it was for a young couples special subsidized plan. The flats were build by the Ministry of Housing, which took care of all the formalities, and you had to buy them "as is". It was a small flat, 4rd floor, no elevator... After 7 years we were relocated to Brussels, had very nice salaries for 5 years, saved enough to buy another flat without mortgage 😉

May be protection from serious illness/hospitalization... I had my initial vaccinations in January 2021. Then in August, 1st booster. Second in January 2022. Caught Covid end of June 2022, so less than 6 months after the 2nd. Eligible for 3rd booster. On the fence...

Such a lovely picture. And being able to travel with your kids, and they getting along together -- priceless. Enjoy every moment with them!! 🌹

^This.

Curious again, since you bought a relatively new (6 years old) house, why was the seller selling? ☹️

Not such thing as "house inspection" here... No "closing" with a fixed date. Lawyers on both sides draw a preliminary draft, and it's a lot of back and forth until an agreement is reached. Years and years until you get a deed in your name... Took us 15 years for the flat we're living in now...

"Helen", I'm curious about the process of selling a house in US, which is very different from the one here. Definitely only what you'd like to share, if at all. Like when Bob ( @bobmacliberty) shared that they had 54 views, and many offers above the asking price, without, of course, getting into numbers. How it is going with "downsizing", packing, etc. 🌹

@Sea Dog + 1 , et tu, Greg? All the good advices from above, and all the good hopes for a mild "version" 🤞

@Momof3gurlz + 1, Deb, it seems inevitable nowadays... 🤞 you'll experience just a very mild "version", without any "after effects" 😘

Indeed, but we travelled there, stayed overnight, and had a blast. Have done on Millie the same itinerary, just started in Singapore and ended in HK. We booked a transfer to Bangkok along with others from our roll call, and it worked perfectly. 8AM pickup, by 11am we were already touring. For return to ship the pick up was 1PM, and it was less than 2 hours, since it was well after the rush hour of the early morning. I've chosen Chatrium Riverside, since it was, well... on the river, and we could beat the horrendous traffic in BK by travelling on water. Others stayed in an MBK hotel. Halong Bay was the highlight of our trip, and it is not to be missed.
