LOL That is also her favorite empty box behind her. She's not camera shy. Love the adorable look she has🥰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will know it's just you from now on. 🙂 I did tell Bucky about my comment about those questions...he agreed with me. Wow! I didn’t know two people could have the same screen name on CC. I’ve had this name for 21 years. I’m surprised this is the first time there’s been a mixup. My DH listens to me talk about CC, or pretends to, but is totally uninterested.

Kind of -- I had 3 episodes of sleep walking after taking a certain sleeping pill, and my GP sent me to a neurologist who specialized in insomnia. He prescribed different meds, and, to put it mildly, we didn't "hit off".... Looked. Didn't get any more "hochme".... it says: ניפת חתולים.... nobody around me knows what's ניפת... At least in Romanian, I understood it is some kind of [green] grass, apparently favored by those able to lick "distant" parts easily 😉 Jack doesn't know what it means. The only thing I got from google is what you learned, that it means catnip. Upon further research (I googled "meaning of hebrew word nifat in English" I understood it to mean some sort of grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It find scenes that don't add a lot to the movie and tells you how long you have to get to the bathroom, pee, and get back. It also provides a brief written summary of what you missed. It works well with an Apple Watch so that you don't have to have a bright phone screen showing in a dark theater. I use it every time I go to a theater. It also should synchronize your bladder control to the movie scenes.🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to disappoint you, but I just did some research and found that the record for the greatest number of posts on any message board is in the neighborhood of 121,000!!! I think that due to the nature of the topic (which of course was borne out of the whole 'lockdown' situation that we can all relate to in varying degrees), it has been left to just go on and on, diverging into general chit-chat about anything and everything. In "normal" times - especially with a topic that applied to gathering some sort of specific info, don't you think a moderator might have already shut this thread down? I've seen it happen all the time depending on the extent to which threads are monitored. On one forum that I'm a member of - if people get off-topic after a few posts there is inevitably a notice to refocus or else start a different thread for whatever concern or comment, etc. that does not pertain to the OP. If the off-topic responses continue, then threads are typically locked. In some forums, there is often a "anything else" or "living room chat"-type section of the forum. In this case, though, the whole "routine day in lockdown" thing is still sort of applicable. Even once (if?) the pandemic essentially fizzles out, I suspect this thread might just roll on and on. For me, personally, not being much of a social media aficionado other than to frequent forums to gain specific information rather than engaging in random chatting, I lost interest in this thread probably a few hundred pages ago and was astounded, after returning to CC after being away for an extended time, that this was still going. Rather unprecedented I suppose. I don't see anything even remotely comparable to it on any other parts of CC. Undoubtedly some would say that a thread that just goes on and on is probably a waste of bandwidth...I know...cause I've had people accuse me of it elsewhere. For the current times we're in, though, I suspect many have found it just a means of pleasant diversion and entertainment from the many new stresses we've all experienced since last year.

That was last night in Wonderland. Regina is on the right. It was her and her husband that had their flight canceled while driving to the airport the night before the cruise. You might not of seen it but I posted a video of Sharon playing music on the steps. I think you know already but if you see me refer to my TA, it’s Sharon.

It's a loooong movie, definitely need some toilet breaks Especially for movie theaters with bars in them when you've had a couple of beers/glasses of wine before and during the show. 2 hours ago, island lady said: OMG!! I don't do the apps...but that one I would make an exception for. Too funny!! It's a really well designed app. You hit a start button at a certain point at the beginning, like when the lion roars for an MGM movie. It then has countdown timers telling you when the next pee break will be, and the exact line in the script where you should leave. It's amazing what you can make money with these days. 38 minutes ago, BonTexasNY said: It also should synchronize your bladder control to the movie scenes.🤣 Now THAT would be worth some money...give me complete control over when I would pee.
