He enjoyed adding modifications to it, and took it to the drag strip a time or two. I believe he sold it around 2009. He was involved in too many other projects to devote time to it, and decided it was time to move on. When I first moved into my neighborhood, there was a family with 4 kids - 2 boys & 2 girls - and parked in the driveway were 2 Buick Regal Grand Nationals and 2 Ford Mustang GT's. We called it the muscle car house. We always heard when the kids were coming and going. 🙂 I think the Buick GN was limited production car - maybe 5,000 units per year - so the fact that 2 of them ended up on my block was a little amazing. And who would have thought that Buick of all car brands would have the baddest muscle cars of the 80's? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, you get “this is your last payment warning” email and “you need to pay xxx immediately”. Spent all day on hold trying to reach them via phone to no avail. Stayed awake tonight to call them at midnight my time and they could not find the booking - despite repeatedly spelling my name, stating booking number & cabin number listed on warning notice. After 30mins of searching, they finally find the booking. Phew! I hope things get better. We just got off our 3rd VV cruise and they have all been great. Very different from other cruises. I'm sure it helps that our son and daughter in law both work for VV so they can eliminate any stress or concerns before we board. Our son leaves for New Zealand in January to help with Resilient coming into port. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they both realize that if they were in a showmance they would be targets.Therefore,they are biding their time .My prediction is that either on the last episode or after the show ends they will be a couple.

Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted December 7, 2023 #110093 Share Posted December 7, 2023 With the talk of being banned from CC. What stops anyone from signing back up under a different email/username etc? It’s been so long since first signing up I don’t know what info they require at sign up in order to weed out all these “bad eggs” lol 😂 the whole notion of being banned from a cruise website seems pretty dumb. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have signed under new names but their IP address gives them away. Some know how to get around that and change their posting habits to try to hide.

Rare Tree_skier Posted December 7, 2023 #110097 Share Posted December 7, 2023 21 hours ago, Sea Dog said: A couple of things. As far as the comments on Live reviews I am not going to respond as to say a lot of us work hard in time to provide readers of this forum our experiences out at sea on a ship. We can’t control all the other comments and side chatter that people including those here post. I would hope that people would respect the original poster’s intention and not turn a live review into a free for all. Good comments Greg... As someone who loves to read and has done live reviews as well I really appreciate your comments. I've enjoyed doing them but I'm sure that not everyone cares for what I post. That's what's so beautiful about liberty. You get to choose what you read. 😉 Some live reviews I lose interest in and stop reading. Some they are the first thing I go for when I open CC in the morning. I tend to enjoy those by people who I have had interactions with on the forum more than just random ones but some random ones are great also. Some focus on, excursions, others on food or drinks. Some on the shows. Actually the diversity of focus is what makes following them interesting. If they were all the same it would get very very boring. There's only so many pictures of a Chops steak that Im going to be interested in. I've never met @A&L_Ont Andrew but feel like I know him and his great family through this thread and his many great "live" threads. Your @Sea Dog live threads have added a dimension and insight into you and your life. Following John's many lives made me feel like we were really friends and when we meet IRL we'll pick up where we left off on the forum. They add a flavor to the endless stream of tipping threads and MDR complaint threads that, if that was all there was, would kill this forum. I think the average reader who has never done one doesn't realize the tremendous effort it takes to keep one going effectively. Curating pictures, producing video on the fly and narrating events that are meaningful to such a diverse group is real work. We enjoy it, that's why we do it, but it is work nonetheless. I've got 2 weeks on Harmony coming up and there is no way I can do one on week 1 since we are traveling with DD, SIL and their 3 kids. It's going to be a full time job just staying with that group day in and out but week 2 with just DW and I might get a live going. I won't please everyone but that is what that little red x is for up in the corner. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Momof3gurlz Posted December 7, 2023 #110098 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I don’t know how all y’all keep up here with all the pre holiday activity! First off, Happy Hanukkah to all here who celebrate. @Sea Dog Greg there’s nothing more I can add that the others haven’t already said regarding the “postponement” (not going to call it a cancellation) of your Beyond cruise. I’m sure it was a tough decision but you and Linda will enjoy it so much more in good health. Hope the knee is coming along. I was sorry to read the news that Singinalot/Crystal is no longer here in the CC universe. Her reviews were wonderful and she will definitely be missed. Andy and I recently started watching How To Get Away With Murder on Netflix. We’re not big fans of regular network TV shows, but this one….wow. I’m shocked it was even on a major network. We’re a little more than halfway through the 6 seasons and are totally binge watching it. I highly recommend it if you like cliffhangers. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankees gave up a lot of young talent for a 1 year rental. I'm betting he is on a new team in 2025. He likes to be in the spot light, He is going to be the highest paid player ever(more then Otani), just think he will get higher offers back in the National League( Cubs, Dodgers, San Fran) I'm glad he is out of the National League for at least this year. He is a hot dog, they way he takes pitches and kind of moves toward the pitcher. I love seeing him strike out. His defense isn't that good in the out field either. Possibly the short porch in Right Field might ruin his swing, he might become a bust this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
