We brought about 30 of them with us...no commercials. 🤗 The soft Jazz CDs for the stereo are the "happy hour" back ground. 😉 It is crazy how things have evolved. I at one time thought CDs would be the ultimate source for music listening. I used to have a car with a six CD player, my last car was a single, and my present car does not even have a CD player. My entire CD collection is now on a single USB thumb drive that is plugged into the car's USB port. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted June 21, 2021 #20177 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Gary , @cruise wizard You and Mary must be getting ready for your B3B. Are you going to post anything from the cruise? I would love to hear about it, especially any new boarding rules, requirements, etc. Thank you. We are boarding on the day you are leaving....unless you are adding the 4th week and making it B4B😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes dry, like pasta and cooks like pasta as well, about 8-10 minutes in low boiling water or broth.

Yes, I will post some info on the 7/3 & 7/10 Edge threads probably every other day. That would be the best place to look. I may try some pictures but no guarantee. I'll post about the Health Questionnaire, embarkation process and some quick "insights" in the evening of 6/25. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, me too over 400 of them that I know of. When we used to travel in the "land yacht" we had no interest in the Satellite TV (even though we had a dome on the top)...loved watching the movies instead. Hauled our collection around and enjoyed on the 55 inch Sony surround sound system we have in it. We keep them in flip style cloth storage cases that hold about 75 each. Tossed out the space gulping plastic jackets they come with. Our next rental homes will have DVD players....looking forward to watching some movies again. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to try them to know. 😉 Think of the difference of Maine Lobster to Florida/Carib "Crawfish" type clawless critters....which are like farm raised "Tiger Shrimp"....compared to Key West Pinks. Ask Molly...she knows! 😋 I like the Royal Reds from Key West to the Pinks. Both are very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I try to look past the reality drama stuff with the crew. For me it's all about seeing the locations, The yacht and the fantastic food.

Rare bobmacliberty Posted June 21, 2021 #20197 Share Posted June 21, 2021 All this discussion about Below Deck has me even happier that I'm not watching it. Definitely not my style. I don't like watching stupid people, whether trying to find love, renovating a house for the first time, or searching for bigfoot. Whenever I say that my daughter points out that some of these stupid people are turning this into some form of fame and fortune. The Kardashians are the gold standard example of this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't miss it at all. 😉 No more stressing out with the "bad news" on the the news channels. We gave up the news several years ago and it was one of the best things we've done. Don't miss it at all. If something important is happening and manages to break through our bubble of ignorance, I'll usually check it out online using BBC World News. Seems to me to be more neutral than the US based news sources. I'd be interested if you UK people think the same. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday night was ALWAYS Ed Sullivan. I remember I was 4 (so my mom tells me) when we got our very first black and white tv. As soon as it was plugged in, the installer put on Howdy Doody. I was hooked! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
