As long as you and your wife like the ‘stash,that’s all that matters. My DH has had a mustache for years. It goes with his face,or maybe I am used to it for all these years. Recently,he decided to grow a beard !!! I think it makes him look much older as it is all white. Hoping he decides to shave it off one of these days. @Keksie It looks like the kitchen reno will open up the area to the living room. Looks good. I am always interested in renovations and decorating done to people’s homes. Hope the work continues to go as planned and that you are pleased with the final results. @lenquixote66 Glad that you finally got a Mickey Mouse tee shirt ! My DH has worn a gold Mickey Mouse watch for years. Mickey is very subtle on the watch face,a small image near the numeral 6. It is a prized possession for him. Reminds him to be young at heart ! As for the Playoff Games so far- Chiefs had a tough game -weather wise. Playing in those temps showed their tenacity. Glad the Packers won- a young team coming together with Love playing great.. Also glad for the Lions’ win - always cheer for the underdog. It was their first Playoff Game win in decades. Hoping the Bills hold on to their lead tonight. Another freezing cold game,but it’s January in Buffalo. It will be interesting who wins the Bucs’ Eagles’game later tonight. It seems that football and the weather are giving a lot of people something to talk about! Stay safe and warm everyone! MJ🙎🏻♀️ I had a Donald Duck watch once .I do not remember what happened to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted January 16 #113027 Share Posted January 16 After checking in, we walked 4 blocks to Times Square and spent about 30 seconds there. Check. We then walked to the Rockefeller Center area. The tree was still up and lit. The area looked great at night. Micheline surprisingly had no desire to go into Saks. That probably saved me a few dollars. 😜 We then took a walk though St. Patrick's Cathedral. What an absolutely beautiful church. We found a friendly Irish Pub called Sean's Bar & Kitchen where we enjoyed some food and drinks before calling it a night. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure I remember how to shave, I'd probably end up cutting my jugular. 😀 I had a beard since 1970 and a mustache since 1961.I shaved in 2016 just so my immediate family could see what I looked like.I began to grow both back the same day.My father bought me a razor in 1959.I still have it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenquixote66 Posted January 16 #113030 Share Posted January 16 17 hours ago, MJSailors said: Just a question for the gentlemen on this board who have beards. Do you trim your beard at home with a beard trimmer or go to a barber for regular trims? Asking for a friend.- my DH. He had it trimmed once so far and is thinking about getting a trimmer to take care of his beard by himself. Thanks for any advice. MJ🙎🏻♀️ At one time I had a beard down to my belly.I refused to remove it when I was asked to do so at job interviews.In 1972 I began a job for a company that I worked for 25 years.Although they hired me with the long beard I was asked to have it trimmed and due to the fact that I liked working there I went to a barber and had it trimmed but still very long.Over the course of the 25 years I had the beard trimmed whenever I had a haircut but never short.Toby trims it occasionally but every time I get my haircut by my barber I have it trimmed. I also had a ponytail from 1971 to 1978. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned gray when I was 30. That was the year my first child was born. I think there may be some correlation. 🤔 My beard turned grey when I was 30 also but I hated it and had the barber color it .In 2010 I stopped coloring it.Now it is white and I do not like it However,I am the only person I know my age who has hair. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played golf and watched the Bills game yesterday, and am sitting at home now while it rains here. Finally caught up on this thread. We had a great trip. The Billy Joel concert was incredible. His energy and his voice at 74...just amazing. The Book of Mormon was hilarious. Definitely a lot of adult content. We did a few other fun things while there and of course had some great food. Weather was pretty good...mostly in the 40s and even peaking up in the 50s, with some wind. Temps dropped on Sunday and the wind picked up, delaying our flight out of LGA for an hour. I watched 4 straight planes trying to land on runway 22 before having to do a go around right before touching down. They ended up closing that runway and had everything both landing and taking off on runway 31. I think there were 12 planes waiting in front of us to take off and we spent an extra 30 minutes taxiing. I'll separately post some pics and videos of the weekend. Glad that you enjoyed the concert .My daughter who lives in Manhattan was there the next night to see Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted January 16 #113038 Share Posted January 16 We were just watching Murder She Wrote. Most of the show took place on a plane. All the guys had suits on and ladies in dresses. A few were smoking. Different days. I was thinking this must be from late 60's or 70s. The series was from 1984 to 1996. Surprised me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted January 16 #113043 Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, bobmacliberty said: While in NYC, we stayed at The Michelangelo Hotel, per @George C's recommendation (thanks George!). We had booked a Junior Suite but upgraded to a One Bedroom Grand Suite when we checked in for an additional $110 per night. We had prepaid for the JS so we were really getting a GS for just $110...right? I like this girl math thing. The room was HUGE (800 sq ft) with a separate bedroom, 2 full bathrooms, and a large living room. I think it was bigger than many NYC apartments. While it was definitely more space than we needed, I really liked having the living room for when we'd be in our room for a while. Service was fantastic from everyone, the bed was very comfortable, and the location was really good. The only negative was that it was slightly dated. There were some ripped carpet seams and lots of scratches in the wooden floors and outlets. While very noticeable when we first arrived, that all blended into the background after a day or so. Untitled video (11).mp4 91.39 MB · 0 downloads We always book suite , we used to get normal king suite which has 1.5 bathrooms, now we get the 800 sq Ft suite . Both have large living rooms and we have friends join us for a drink there . What restaurants did you visit ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted January 16 #113044 Share Posted January 16 Ok, probably a crazy thing to ask on a cruising site, but has anyone seen any outstanding wave season deals yet? Maybe I am longing for some of those “good old days” deals where I would say that I just had to book it. Not seeing it yet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to book our on. Now we find our best deals from "the" TA. Group rates and OBC. He can check out a time period or a particular departure port. In the past year or so using a TA has been the best option. Easy and less expensive. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interviewed with UPS for a corporate IT job in 1990 and they had a strict no facial hair policy. I think I could have kept my mustache but the beard had to go, even though I kept it short & neatly trimmed. The real deal breaker was no eating or drinking at your desk. At the time I was a caffeine addict and couldn't function from 8 am until noon unless I had a cup of coffee in my hand at all times. For those 2 reasons, I turned down a job offer even though the salary & benefits were better. A week later, I had 2 other job offers from other companies that had competitive salaries & I could eat and drink at my desk and keep my beard. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look it up. Smoking was banned from domestic flight under 2 hours in 1988 and then in 1990, domestic flights under 6 hours. It wasn't until 2000 that it was banned from all domestic and international flights. I remember my first time to California the plane still had a smoking section. I thought that was in 1991 or 1992 so I guess my flight from NYC to San Fran was over 6 hours? Definitely no suits worn by men or dresses by ladies. Or vice-versa. Probably the TV writers wanted to give the show look more glamours look. Kind of like commercials for casino's where everyone is dressed like it's NYE...or cruise ship MDR circa 1980's. 😄 Never seems to be that way in Atlantic City or Foxwoods. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I ever venture near it is for the TKTS discount ticket booth which offers 50% off same day Broadway tickets, which can be a substantial savings. Glad the Rockefeller tree was up & still lit. Bonus, no crowds! Were you able to venture to Bryant Park? Edited January 16 by HBE4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I just wait until I'm there and buy these discount tickets your are talking about or should I pre-buy to make sure I get tickets. What is the probability that they would be sold out on a Tuesday or Wednesday nigh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
