It was once the tallest building in the world for about a day until it was surpassed by the Empire State Building. Other iconic structures: Space Needle in Seattle, CN tower in Toronto & possibly the Capital Records Building in LA? My suggestion would include the Guggenheim in Manhattan.

Though I do not profess to be a movie reviewer, I thought I could at least tell people about these movies and encourage everyone to watch some of these great films. Some of them don't get the publicity that the big budget films get. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was scheduled to have the Pneumonia vaccine this afternoon but I cancelled a few minutes ago because it was snowing very heavily.Of course as soon as I got the confirmation of the cancellation it stopped snowing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve done Top of the Rock a couple of times and One World Observatory. I actually really liked One World. The lifts are very cool and the view of the bridges and Statue of Liberty is really nice. Yea, I feel Statue of Liberty represents NYC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks compulsory indoors (including offices) and on public transport. QR code’s & social distancing. No singing or dancing in certain situations A Music Festival in the Hunter Valley last weekend that had already been rescheduled from October that had 14000 planned attendees was cancelled 4 days out due to new Govt restrictions. Currently we have major supply chain issues in our two major grocery chains in particular relating to meat & poultry but also other products. Chemists struggling to stock RATS and the Western Australian Premier has just announced that their border will continue to be closed to the rest of the country beyond 5 Feb. 3 hours ago, A&L_Ont said: Thanks Graham. From what you re saying the guidelines here are almost the same as Australia's. I am so sorry for both of you. I can't imagine all the restrictions. For the last year my area of the world has been pretty much without any restrictions. We do however have major supply chain issues. There is a long wait for a lot of items like appliances and windows. Yesterday our grocery store was well stocked but the week before there were several empty shelves. My husband is very happy that I keep the pantry and freezers stocked, buying things I know we use in multiples when I find them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how to recreate it😉 Maybe Renee could whip one up for your cruise? It would take me about a month to roll all that fondant out to make that dog. I did the amateur version when I made this cake for my daughter's graduation from nursing school. i have to say, marshmallow fondant tastes really good. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDawg Posted January 20, 2022 #44769 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone. I'm just recovering from Covid. We were at an AI in the Caribbean over New Years, tested negative in order to get on the flight back to Canada but tested positive when I was tested on arrival at the airport back in Toronto. I had to isolate for 10 days and now I can go out, but with all the snow we got on Monday I'm not going anywhere soon. I am double vacc'd and boosted, wore an N95 mask almost everywhere, but still got it. 😕 Mrs. Dawg is the same with her vaccine status and was almost everywhere I was from my test #1 (neg.) to my Test #2 (pos.) but she tested negative on arrival and she still tests negative even while being cooped up in the same house as I am. She had to isolate for 7 days while waiting for her arrival test results so she didn't go anywhere either. Apparently only about 1% of the returning Canadians test positive with the airport arrival testing so I kind of feel a bit special. Now, I can truly say I'm a one-percenter! 😉 For me Covid was just a bad flu. I'd say it was in the top ten of flus I've had in my life but certainly not close to the worst I have had. So here is a question for you. Now that I have tested positive for Covid and people apparently can still test positive for 90 days + following infection, is there anyway I could cruise with Royal or X over the next couple of months? I can get into the States with a positive test if I also provide a letter from a healthcare professional stating I am well enough to travel and not contagious, but I'm not sure if that will be acceptable to the cruise line(s). I know the cruise lines only need an antigen test, which is less sensitive, so I would likely test negative in two or three months time but I'm asking just in case.

Jim all decked out to go to the beach with his beach chair, zinc on the nose and swimsuit and everyone runs away? He then sits down and enjoys an empty beach......LOVED that one.....

I moved south for the warmth, not the winter weather. At least we know how to deal with it not like the locals 😜 We’re the other side of the state, about 40 miles north of Augusta and right on the border. I agree, we moved south to escape the cold. But, remember the end of December when it was in the 70s for a week. New Year’s Day we turned the air conditioning on. It will eventually warm up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But does it strike anyone else as odd that a they have a hair trigger to move a thread because God forbid you ask a question about a port on a cruise line forum instead of a port forum, but this 1800 page bit of randomness hasn't been relocated to the Floataway Lounge yet? Sure is amazing isn't it, almost like there are 2 or 3 sets of rules when it comes to posting on a thread doesn't it? I think a lot has to do with who the members that are posting on the thread.
