After hearing you had my Sea Dog Old Fashioned it put me in the mood to have one. I don’t remember what you ended up using for the syrup, was it proof syrup? I don’t want them to be removed they have just as much to live where they want as I do. I do have fenced in area that is bordered by a retaining wall. They could jump down from the top of the wall into the lower area so I may put up a temporary garden fence for the next couple of months during mating season. Now that I see the area I am not as worried especially if the coyotes are moving along the wooded area and not stopping and stalking the fenced area. I like the idea of the temporary garden fence. I would still always be out with them for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we too hated having to wear mask in Antigua, St Maarteen and Barbados when outside. We took down many times when out of crowded areas. Barbados goes nuts with spraying everyones hands everywhere you go. Sprayed getting on bus from ship to terminal, then sprayed again, then sprayed getting onto bus to the beach resort, then sprayed going into the resort. I couldnt wait to get into the water as whatever they sprayed with was sticky and smelly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Club Med 2 ship is beautiful when sails are up. We first saw one in Aruba when we had an overnight stay. We were dining at West Deck to watch the beautiful sunset. Then the club med ship sailed into the sunset, was stunning. I have to find my photos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find it in my local stores and didn't want to pay the $50 online price with shipping. I'd be paying more for the syrup than the bourbon. Instead, I'm using simple syrup and Angostura Orange Bitters. Still very tasty. I think the Meletti liquor must be what really adds the special to your special old fashioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted January 27, 2022 #45905 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I got the CC crud this morning. Unfortunately, it's been happening more frequently so I just wait it out until I can post again. I received a very special email yesterday. My oldest and dearest friend from 3rd grade dug up a very old video her husband took of their visit to us in May, 1980. It lasted only 3 minutes but what a trip down memory lane! I was actually wearing jeans with a top tucked into my waist with a belt! Jack looks fabulous but he always does. 😍 Of course we have tons of photos through the years but this came so unexpectedly and so welcomed. 1980 The Way We Were: The Way We Are Now or at least in 2018 So glad to hear @Ocean Boy@DaniDanielle@ReneeFLLare enjoying their cruises. Nice to know those painkillers really work for OB! Hope all those who have covid are recuperating with no after effects. 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelGirlinDallas Posted January 27, 2022 #45907 Share Posted January 27, 2022 We were required to wear masks outdoors in Belize on our cruise last September. It was raining that day and the masks quickly became soggy and gross (and totally ineffective when wet!), but that didn't matter. Normally, wearing a mask isn't that big of a deal to me, but I didn't enjoy it at all that day. LOL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing - the grandsons spent the night with us, and DH is "responsible" for providing b'fast... So is cutting a slice of challa [Challah is a special bread of Ashkenazi Jewish origin, usually braided and typically eaten on ceremonial occasions such as Shabbat] for the little one, and he says: "Saba [grandfather in Hebrew], I've had a "tubes" surgery and I'm not allowed to eat the 'hard' ... so, pls., cut the 'hard' part for me" 😁 So, along with half the population of Israel, our grandsons travelled to Jerusalem, to see snow for the first time in their lives. Snowman included [I've been told that the "regulations" require that carrot to be with the thin part outside.... OK... next time 🤪].

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted January 27, 2022 #45911 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for my family. The Grandkids are already doing much better. Shelby’s back is still sore. She gets moments of relief but then pain again. Those that have dealt with kidney stones knows how it goes until it passes. Thanks again Friends. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted January 27, 2022 #45912 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I woke up to -8°F temperatures this morning, and no sign to be above freezing untIl Groundhog Day. So I did what anyone who has been back in the snow for a week now would do (has it really only been a week?), I booked two more cruises. Now we are off to see about getting a minor master bath makeover. Edited January 27, 2022 by h20skibum 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see OB leaning toward the windshield driving through a blizzard and the Amazing Race theme song playing in the background. At the end of the day he is the first to finish and wins a cruise with a real nice chair on the balcony! 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been impressed with the procedure that they use when changing lifeguards, with the incoming guard thoroughly looking at the pool and then the outgoing guard doing the same. Doesn't take much to impress me. There were times on Harmony when the pool was empty for some time and they still do the routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them reporting the snow at the Wall last night on i24. It is exciting to see kids enjoy their first snow. I like seeing your grandkids with their little shovels! Although not as rare here, we are lucky to get maybe 1 good snow day but when we do the kids love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea when they started it but the guard at end of dock told us we had to wear in the port area and were told again when we got on the water taxi to go to BB Bar and beach. Then I heard someone tell another person while walking along the "boardwalk" towards BBB they had to mask up. So they were definitely enforcing while we were there on or about Jan 14th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup all the shops at Barbados were doing that too. I don't recall Antigua or St Maarten shops doing it but Barbados definitely did. Barbados also took your temperature in cruise terminal before you re-boarded the ship. I found that odd - they didn't take my temp when I stepped foot on their island but they did as I was leaving ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
