I think they picked GMT for the shrimp drop purely because it lines up nicely with 7:00pm here...a good time to include kids and be done early in the evening. 😁 And dark enough for fireworks, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted December 28, 2023 #111777 Share Posted December 28, 2023 One more thing about the Prime increase...I take advantage of Amazon Prime photos. It's a little known part of Amazon Prime where you get unlimited photo storage. I automatically back up all of my photos from my phone and my computer to Amazon Prime photos. I therefore don't both with any other photo backup system. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just started watching Glitch on Netflix, as recommended by Lenny. Only one episode in but we're hooked. We like that genre...somewhat SciFi (without being over the top SciFi) and somewhat thriller. Thanks Lenny! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been think about it for a year now, maybe even longer And as much as I wanted to get away from Verizon Wireless service, they actually have some good deals where you can get discounts on Verizon Internet service & also bundle streaming services together for even bigger savings, such as Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ or MAX/Netflix. Granted, they are the basic service with commercials but still can add up to significant monthly savings. And just got a email from Amazon that starting end of Jan, they will be adding commercials to Prime service. Unless I want to upgrade for $2.99 a month. 😡 There are commercials currently on Prime FreeVee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a friendly reminder to anyone who logs in to their streaming service at a rental, or at a hotel. Don’t forget to log out of the service before you leave. I am always reminding Susan to log out, everywhere we go. Yep. My son learnt this lesson at the end of the ski season last year… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The house is already too quiet. It might be time for a nap before I start cleaning and washing all the linens. The dog is exhausted and already sacked out beside me. Our kids left this morning, 3 loads done, of course they are all in a pile on the bed in spare room. Enjoying the silence for today, nice to my hoyse back, will miss them tomorrow. For those watching Glitch on Netflix, which one? There is a 2109 and 2022 series with that name. Missed it if mentioned before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted December 28, 2023 #111784 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Just reading some of the post about the world cruise made me think of another contest. It could be either the biggest looser ( weight) or the biggest gainer. I can only imagine the discipline I would need to control my eating habits. And of course all those drinks, well calories add up. They should provide a shopping excursion on the last few weeks of the cruise to provide the opportunity to buy new clothes in a larger size. I am sure we will be hearing comments about weight gain. or The pictures will be of facial profiles. Nothing below the neck to be included. But I am glad reading all about it. Be safe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 28, 2023 #111786 Share Posted December 28, 2023 We had the NYE discussion last night. A lot of the usually paid ticketed sites in Sydney are free this year but as NYE will be on a weekend, they will fill up early. We don’t fancy spending all day at the viewing sites waiting for the midnight fireworks. I am happy to do nothing as we have a really busy couple of months ahead - interstate family visit, overseas visitors for dad, our annual beach holiday, a cruise, a short break and then I am heading over to Canada to see the “kids”. DH is keen to do something though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH is keen to do something though. We invited the DD over but she declined as I think she just wants a quiet evening. So we will probably just get some take out (rare for us anymore) and toast to the New Year in comfy clothes in front of the TV. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted December 28, 2023 #111789 Share Posted December 28, 2023 2 hours ago, HBE4 said: While Christmas Day has passed, it's still the Christmas Season so watching Christmas movies is still okay. Just watched "The Main Who Invented Christmas" on Prime & found it not only enjoyable but also very interesting. It's the a semi-true, semi-fantasy story of how Charles Dickens wrote " A Christmas Carol". The fantasy part refers what went thru Dickens mind as he was struggling to write the book in record time but many of the facts in the movie are true, at least according to the rabbit hole of websites I fell into last night looking up all the details of his life. 😛 That’s a good one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 28, 2023 #111793 Share Posted December 28, 2023 It’s all happening on the Northern Beaches this week. Firstly, packages of barnacle encrusted cocaine are washing up on the beaches. Second a poor sunfish died near Shelley Beach attracting sharks so they had to close Manly Beach yesterday and last night there was bioluminescence at most of the beaches. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hosted Christmas Eve, just 6 adults and two little ones. A few pictures from that night. This is Jess, Sam, Abby and Ellie (with baby brother to be, all tucked away) Abby with Nana & Papa The beef ready to carve Nana with Abby & Ellie Christmas Day we had brunch at Jess & Sam’s, but no photos. Yesterday we drove down to PA for a quick overnight to celebrate Christmas with Cristina and her family. Traffic was terrible in both directions, but worth it to see them. Here’s Nana playing Santa with Will, Teddy and Andrew. And finally, tomorrow we drive up to Rensselaer NY to take Andy’s Mom to lunch and exchange gifts with her. Three hours up and 3 hours home - if we’re lucky. I already feel like I picked up something from one of the boys. Today I just feel tired and achy all over with no appetite. It’ll be a game day call tomorrow morning if I go because I certainly don’t want to get my 87 yr old MIL sick. I’m also going to test tomorrow before leaving, just to be safe for her. We have no plans for New Year’s and I’m okay with that! What’s everyone doing? (aside from those who are on vacation of course) Precious photos!🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
