Too much Web surfing!! Anyway I usually like murder mysteries or historic or romantic novels (or a mixture ) Any ideas please ?🙏 🙂 I probably just finished an over 550+ small print book in two days. It is Stephen King The Institute. Now mind you it is not like many of his novels, aka The shining, Salems Lot, Carrie........ This novel takes one to believe what could happen if unknown agencies attempt to control and use innocent children for their own purposes. (In a nutshell). Not rated R, but intense at times. I do not think you will be disappointed with this one. Very well written. Take care 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one mentioned that there is a white label and a black label. Being of sound mind, I picked the white label as it has a higher alcohol content. 😱 @lioness I was so happy to see that you have the white label too. 😀 I thought I noticed two different bottles in recent photos, but figured maybe one was just empty. So all you Kracken drinkers, @Sea Dog @bobmacliberty @Sunshine3601 @Ocean Boy which are you using, the dark or the light? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to be worried that I might run out of Kraken. 😁 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was delicious 😋 I thought you upgraded to the XL BGE. Or did you upgrade from medium to large? Still debating if I should get one. Looks like fun, but not sure I'd use it very much. Probably would be an expensive backyard ornament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually like the Komodo Joe I gave my son. It's like they took the BGE, and tweeked it to fix all the shortcomings. And it's definitely less expensive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some research a year or so ago and I probably would choose the Kamado Joe over the BGE for the reasons that you stated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted June 10, 2022 #59991 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I wish I had time to read more all the books sound intriguing. Between my knitting, spinning and weaving I haven't been able to squeeze in many books. I also need a bartender to make up all the delicious drinks everyone is posting. Annabel is very busy but does have a few down moments. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted June 10, 2022 #59992 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Good afternoon. It is currently 62°F and sunny. We went out for lunch earlier and sitting in our garden now. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted June 10, 2022 #59993 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) It is 58° at 6 am in California, with a high of 93° today and sunny. Looking forward to getting out for our last full day here. OK, now for a quick question, if anyone knows. Do old reviews on Cruise critic eventually disappear? Or, maybe they are still there, but just difficult to pull up in their entirety. The reason I ask, I was replying to a thread where a couple showed up to board, and Royal only had a record for one of them. That had happened to us on Harmony in 2018. I had done a review at the time, and was going to link to that review that detailed a lot of the problems we encountered. However, when I try to pull up that review, it starts to load, then freezes (at least on my iPad). Then I was curious, and tried to pull up some earlier ones, and they exhibited the same behavior. I may have to try it on my computer when I get home. Edit to add - I just did a google search for that review, and it brought it up on the UK site, and it loads fine there. Go figure.

I just clicked on a link to a review I did in 2016 and it worked just fine, other than my pictures being stored in Photobucket at the time that now have watermarks on them. It's the Adventure review in my signature if you want to see if it's just a problem on your end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
