They all taste great and all very productive . I would say there is a slight difference in them but not much. The Yellow Pear tomatoes are a bit milder. Early on, larger ones were produced and looked like small pears. The Black Cherry tomatoes have a thinner skin. They need to be eaten right away. The Large Red Cherry tomatoes are big, especially the first ones produced. I may not continue the Black Cherry tomatoes only because it’s hard to tell when they are ripe due to the color. Yes, the small cherry tomatoes. Here, unless I can get field grown, not hot house grown, I prefer grape tomatoes. Onward to dinner. Had a Costco run, bought lox, and with bagels, cream cheese and a salad that should tide us over until ice cream time later in the evening. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our next door neighbors have 3 beautiful daughters. One of them was a FA with my son, but her dream was to be a pilot. She saved and saved until she had enough to fly to Florida, to start training (2017). Very hard for her to be there all alone -- they are a very close knit family. She passed all her tests with "flying colors", until in February 2020 she had the commercial pilot license and 1000 hours to start looking for a job.... She had her dream, but nowhere to fly. In Israel from 2/2020, working on a whole different job. I feel for sad for her, after all the hardship and loneliness. Sad Story and hopefully someday soon she will be able to restart what needs to be done for her dream job. She is a beautiful young lady. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend is panicking because has a Viking Ocean cruise booked out of Athens and is flying Nov 30. That puts her 72 hour test at Saturday, Nov 27. Viking requires a PCR test. Evidently PCR test results can take up to 72 hours for results. Since it’s Thanksgiving weekend, labs may be closed or short staffed. So at 72 hours they’d already be at the airport. Anybody got any ideas to save her from a nervous breakdown? I don’t know if PCR test results routinely come back soon than 72 hours, but that’s a bad weekend to expect that! At my home, pcr test results are taking 1 day. As less people are testing nowadays she may get her results quicker. Maybe she can check with local urgent care as the are usually quick and should be open during holidays. Most large airports are offering pcr testing but the cost is anywhere from $100 to $200. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told her to check urgent care centers, hospitals, and to make appointments at CVS, Walgreens, and everywhere she can think of, and to check prices. And to see if a doctor’s prescription makes a difference. One of my neighbors was charged $480 at an urgent care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’m not expecting wide scale OS visitors allowed in till mid 2022 at earliest and doubt cruising will kick off prior to that. Our “normal” cruise season is Oct-April and I think best case is restart next Oct. I really hope you're right about October. We are supposed to do a TP and then an 11 night NZ cruise next year. 9 hours ago, dani negreanu said: That's great, Sue !!! 🌷 I was sure that, living in Europe, you've already been to Malta. Son was "temporary" [a 5 years contract only], terminated at December 31st, 2019. This was his 2nd contract. You can go back after a break of 3 years. So he knew what he was getting into.... In hindsight, his colleagues, the few of them who were switched from "temporary" to "tenure" [usually, sons/daughters of cockpit crew], are laid off, and he is working.... Who knew that in a matter of 2 months, Covid will strike 😢 Dani, why must they take 3 years off? 7 hours ago, DaniDanielle said: Okay everybody, apparently prayers and good wishes work!!!!

Another thought tell her to go onto county dept of health website and see what they show for testing sites. Some towns have little mom and pop pharmacies that do testing without crazy wait times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted October 14, 2021 #33872 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I am pleasantly surprised comcast/xfinity truck pulled up at 8 am. Figured we would be waiting all morning for them to show up! Although I am tired of this game of switching providers every 2 years when contracts run out. We decided for now to just do internet connections and will use smart tv streaming then add tv channels for next summer when we have tenants back in. This is the first year that we didnt do winter renter so might as well save on monthly cable bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzeena Posted October 14, 2021 #33875 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Just heard Captain Kate's excellent news....she is bringing out the Beyond in April 2022. She has mentioned many times that her two biggest wishes are to bring out a new ship or to be appointed a godmother of a ship. So now she gets one wish. So happy for her and thrilled 💓....going to go book a Beyond sailing that we have been eyeing for a while. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
