People on the role call for Allure this Saturday are reporting positive tests today. I feel badly for them.

I’m guessing you’re in the clear?  I hope you have safe travels to FL and also a fantastic and long awaited cruise.  I look forward to hearing about it.

Thank you. Yes, negative test today. I am really excited to go. It has been a long two years.

You're right - the Atomium and the Manneken are "photo finish".

 

And, while looking at John's puzzle, there was

the Little Mermaid

The Sphinx

The Tower of Pizza

The Grand Palace in Bangkok 

Rio de Janeiro - Christ the Redeemer

Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Quebec and many others ....

Angkor Wat, City of temples near Siem Reap Cambodia.

Wish I could find all my pics.  The place is so cool.  Here are a couple pics but not the coolest.

We went to a bakery in Phnom Penh.  Most signs have both Khmer and English.  It was hard for me to explain the employee the difference in crap and crab. 😝

He is definitely a perfectionist!  I noticed how he went back and wiped the spot he missed.

Eric couldn't believe the amount of work he has to catch up once we got home and he got the laptop set up in his office in our house.    I probably won't see him for a couple of days 😄

It is bad enough the vacation is over but then working for days to catch up really stinks.

I hate to cook after coming home from a cruise.

 

It was so cute when I opened up the front door I heard the cat's collars (little bells) running down the hall before I saw them.    Sparky peeked his head around the hallway corner and had this look like What is she doing here!   I wished I had my camera ready.   Then of course our luggage has to get sniffed up and down. 

Harsh reality coming home and realizing no one has prepared dinner for you.

 

Seeing the fur babies again takes the sting off the end of the vacation

And now the vet has prescribed Gabapentin for the cat for office visit anxiety. :classic_rolleyes: One capsule 15 hours before his appointment and a second 2-3 hours before. We will have to see how that goes.....

My dog was on Gab for three years for his back pain.  We just switched to pregabalin in November and he seems so much more comfortable.  I wish I asked about a different drug.  Only reason I asked is that he was taking it three times a day and it was a challenge finding a stay at home pet sitter who could ensure he received it on time.  With the pregabalin it is a capsule twice a day.  No more bitter pills.

Nope, onions do not belong on pizza.

I agree there!

I love anchovies.🙂

I think I would rather find an onion on my pizza than an anchovie.

I think I will be taking a pretest before the real thing.  My husband wanted to know why I wanted an afternoon flight.  I reminded him we needed to test in the morning because I did not want to fly and not get on the ship.

oh, I love peppers and onions on pizza and many other yummy toppings, except olives and anchovies..

YUCK!

I like the peppers and olives.

I agree, but leave off the mushrooms as well. 😝

And the mushrooms.

Doesn't sound like any of us will be sharing a pizza together.  😁

That is nice your county is providing free kits.  Thankful you had a safe trip.  The daughter said earlier that her temperature is coming down but her throat fells like it has a billion needles in it.  Just messaged her and she said the temperature is normal but the throat is still bad.  She works at a nursing home.  Several are out with Covid and more out today.  The few left are under a heavy load.
We just got back from watching Caden.  He was having a blast.  He was hopping all over.  He made several baskets.  At this age they do not keep score but I know Caden kept up with it. His mind is always going.  😂 

Way to go, Caden!!🏀🏀

My grandson's throat felt like your daughter's last week when he had Covid.  He also slept a lot, as did my granddaughter when she had it at Christmas.  I hope your daughter feels better quickly.

I'm with you, about the anchovies, but give me some olives with all of the other toppings!

Onions and garlic are my best friends.

And if you carry a clove in your pocket I am certain you will have no problems social distancing!😁

Love me some onions and garlic!

That's awful.   Not what they wanted to find out.☹️  Thank goodness you are negative, OB!  When do you fly out for your cruise?

One apple pie please.  Could I get it warmed up with a scoop of vanilla?

 

A rubber ducky pie?  Am I reading that correctly?  I have never seen savory pies in any bakeries here.  Those must be very popular, that is quite a selection.

Since we are discussing food, some different pie varieties and cakes from a Sydney bakery

It's such a shame that a sign has to remind people that kindness to their staff would be appreciated.  Unfortunate way of the world these days.😢

A little early but this is the menu for Valentine’s dinner at our favorite restaurant , will definitely get a upscale Cabernet with it. Will go the Saturday before since wife  works on Valentine’s Day. Definitely the surf and turf , there crème brûlée is excellent.

Yummy menu.  Enjoy.

I don't remember the last time we paid $89 for dinner for both of us let alone for one!  That includes pre-covid.

@lenquixote66 Lenny, not sure I asked but did you leave from the Edgies in Manhattan on East Broadway to get to Day Camp on Staten Island?  That was my camp.  There were quite a few other camps that originated from different locations in the city.

 

@Ozark_KidI hope your daughter feels better.  Sore throats are terrible.

 

@Luckynana Maryann, I hope your grandson is better!

 

To add to the pizza chat: Anchovies will never be found on my pizza.  Neither will pineapple.  Honest, there IS Hawaiian pizza.  Something just not right about that.

Just a plain cheese pizza for me please.  I think by now you know what kind I like.😋

Bell pepper, jalapeños, mushrooms, olives, artichokes, onion, cheese, tomatos and meat. Lots of garlic and anchovies would have to be tiny pieces and not to many. I want at least 3 of the ingredients above and 4 would be even better. 😀 🍕

Can obc from a price reduction be turned into cash thru the casino?

 

Also is there an easy anyway to transfer pictures from my phone to my iPad? I much prefer posting from my iPad than my phone. That’s one of the reasons I don’t post to many pictures.

I think the rubber ducky is a bit of fun because I’ve not heard of it either.  Apple pie - yum -  I like your taste.
