We do have fishing here, but some don't seem to be for fishing and rather just to get ice, like you would get a bag in a grocery store. Some are in front of convenience stores, and some are stand alone with nothing near them. They are all "Twice The Ice" from Ice House America, so there must be a profit in these things. Pictures from street view on Google Maps: This one is near a marina and is more likely for fishing: We used to go to an ice machine at night to get 25 lb.? blocks of ice so we could go ice blocking at a particular park with a hill and grass. Once you get a little dew on the grass, you throw a carpet square on top of it and slide down the hill at some speed. We also needed some "borrowed" milk crates to carry the blocks. We only did it a few times, but it was great fun until the rangers arrived one evening. Apparently, it wasn't very good for the grass. ☺️ The ice machine is still there, but I don't if it sells blocks anymore. The blocks were also very good for weekend camping with an ice chest. They melt a lot slower than bagged ice. Edited May 8 by Coralc 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 8 #120968 Share Posted May 8 We just went through a drive-thru. When we got to the window Sharon said sorry if I asked to many questions. He replied, No problem. Ask as many as you what.. .... so I asked, How many seconds are in a year? He was thinking real hard trying to figure it out and then I said ........ 12 ...... There's January 2nd, February 2nd...... He was laughing and asked if I liked any Sundaes. I answered all Sundays. He ended up giving me a free hot fudge sundae and said keep the jokes coming! 4 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted May 8 #120973 Share Posted May 8 (edited) On 5/3/2024 at 10:58 AM, BND said: You're one of the few people I know who didn't have chickenpox. I had them at age 6 and my DH was prob about 6-7. Heck, my sons who are 40 and 38 had them when they were 7 and 4. 7 year old brought them home from first grade. My oldest son had shingles in his senior year of college (stress induced trying to get everything done on time) yet no Dr will give him the vaccine as he's "too young". My other DIL has health issues so her Dr gave it to her when she was 35. I had asked my doc about getting the chicken pox vaccine back in December of 2005, b/c I hadn't had the chicken pox in childhood. The doc said that I probably had them and just didn't remember it because I was young. I told him that my brother got it from the neighborhood kids (who brought it home from school) when he was four years old, and they didn't adopt me until he was five and a half years old, so I never got exposed. He ordered a titer test to see if I had antibodies or not.... and it came back negative -- I had never had chicken pox. This all happened around the holidays, so I didn't get around to getting the vaccine after I got the test results. Then I volunteered in my son's kindergarten class for his birthday in January (I used to take it off work and stay home with him, and when he started school I still took it off and went to school with him the first couple years). That was on a Tuesday, and on Friday afternoon when I picked him up, he came home with a letter saying that there was a chicken pox exposure in the class that week. Since it's contagious for a couple days before any pox show up, that means I was exposed, and since it's airborne, my almost-OCD-level of hand hygiene wasn't going to protect me like it does for most illnesses. So here I am on a Friday afternoon trying to get a chicken pox vaccine before everything closes at 5pm. (getting the vaccine within 3-5 days of exposure can help reduce the severity of the illness or prevent it altogether, and Friday was my Day Three and nobody would be open over the weekend) My doctor's office didn't have any in stock (because he's not a pediatrician, so he has no need for it -- all of his patients have already had the illness!). The local health department's vaccination clinic is only open a couple days a week, and that day wasn't one of them. I talked to my health insurance, and they wouldn't cover the cost of the vaccine for me, but they did for children as part of a regular "well-child" appointment. That was insane to me, because the chances of me needing to be hospitalized as an adult with chicken pox was way more likely than for a child, and hospitalization would cost them WAY more than two vaccine shots! Anyway, I finally found a private pharmacy that kept it in stock, and I was able to get the first shot at 4:45pm for a nominal fee of $275. Fortunately, I was able to schedule the second dose at the county health clinic for a much more reasonable $75 fee. A couple years ago, the Sam's Club pharmacy pulled my vaccination history (they started offering vaccines around when COVID started, I think) and they saw that I hadn't had the shingles vaccine and they tried to upsell it to me. Once again, the pharmacist was shocked to learn that someone my age had never had chicken pox! I'm a medical anomaly in more ways than one!

I have not read much about that ship on CC. Has anyone sailed on that ship ? I haven't done Liberty, but I've been on Freedom (same class) a bunch of times, and it's my absolute favorite class of ship. It's MUCH more walkable than Oasis class (the size of which causes my knees to get angry with all the walking), and the pool decks are bigger, with more shaded area for loungers in the Solarium. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
