Rare Sea Dog Posted January 26, 2023 #83976 Share Posted January 26, 2023 1 hour ago, George C said: My roughest was just going thru basic training totally hated that , luckily I was in good shape when I got drafted many many years ago , was 175 pounds then more than 50 years ago , Sea Dog you must have just missed draft by a little. I lucked out again working on computers for my two years in the service. I got extremely lucky. I got my draft card and was classified as a 1H. My senior year of high school I found out that they had discontinued the draft. I came real close. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted January 26, 2023 #83977 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hot & humid in Sydney today. Went for a lovely walk along the beach after dinner. And then enjoyed a rare ice-cream treat. DH chose strawberry cheesecake and I picked my childhood favourite flavour - rum & raisin. Yummy. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani negreanu Posted January 26, 2023 Author #83978 Share Posted January 26, 2023 More pictures from a beach. Summer in the winter.... DH was pleasantly surprised to receive a new phone for his birthday. He was wavering the last 2 years, being mostly interested in a good [cell] camera. He found that the best camera for his purposes was Google Pixel 6 Pro, but it was not imported to Israel. Finally, the "boys" found a way to buy the newest one abroad (the 7 Pro), and this morning DH went to the beach to try it -- Heading to a surfing lesson.... and 2 birds enjoying the sunshine -- Wishing all on cruises, heading to cruises, checking in for cruises.... a wonderful day 🌷 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted January 26, 2023 #83980 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The Ritz Carlton near us has a trivia contest every Wednesday night in their bar/casual restaurant. We usually go with 2 other couples and have an ongoing rivalry with another group that is there regularly. They usually win and we usually take second place. 🤬 Last night, I made a somewhat educated guess for one of the questions and we were the only team to get it right. I'm pretty sure that at least 2 people here will know the answer. "To what city would you need to travel to visit the Sixth Floor Museum?" Our rivals were not there last night, but we still finished in second place. ☹️ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted January 26, 2023 #83984 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Been a rough last 24 hours. I became ill after going to Joe's Crab Shack or after we got some food at Epcot in France. Got back to our room around 10pm and my stomach started to hurt. Diarrhea was first and then throwing up alot. This was from about 10pm to 4am. So next day was out for the parks,very tired and dehydrated. We were suppose to check out of our room on the 26th. But the owner who we got this room through was able to get us a 3 bedroom deluxe from the 25th to checking out on the 27th...Giving me an extra day to feel better before heading to Bradenton to stay with them The 3 bedroom unit is really nice,we are in Building 5 now next to the lazy river. We made the switch in rooms for only $225 total. So thought it was well worth it to give me an extra day to feel better. First 4 days in the park. We walked 28 miles.. We might try to go to the parks today if I'm feeling up to it. Here are some pics of the 3 bedroom. Edited January 26, 2023 by Jimbo 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful photos. DH is thanking you all, and, YES, he's very pleased with the new camera, which was very important to him, more than many other features. It was a huge surprise that the "boys" managed to pull it up, luckily DS1 still has many FA friends, and beside, it was agreed that the mixer I've got will be the only gift we'll both receive. It seems that the "boys" didn't want to "short-change" He, who supplies them every week end with gourmet dishes... 😉 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
