This week, we have been warned we can except an increase in funnel web spiders and that they will be more active due to these ongoing wet conditions. Reminded DH that he needs to shake his sneakers that he keeps outside near the front door before putting them on. if we see one, the Australian Reptile Park has asked that a “responsible adult” (not going to be me!) catches them live and takes them to the Reptile Park for their milking program for anti-venom. The male Sydney Funnel Web is deadly and when my daughter was in hospital a couple of months ago, the guy in the bed next bed had been bitten and he was having a rough time of it. We’ve never found one on our property but friends who live locally often find them in their pools. I really really want to visit Australia and we hope to in the Autumn , but all your creepy crawlies do put me off a little 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are several on here that liked Ozark. Netflix just dropped the first part of season 4. There are seven episodes now and another seven later in year for the final season of a great show. We've started watching the first series of 'after life' on Netflix. Watched four episodes in one go and then the last two episodes the next night. Started watching the second series yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted January 22, 2022 #45054 Share Posted January 22, 2022 So I'm doing what every cruiser knows should not be done and just what I have done for every cruise.... flying down the day of the cruise. Flight got off 10 minutes early. Flight Tracker says we are at 36000 ft and on the coast line of southern New Jersey. Should land at FLL at 9:03. This plane has a LOT of people on it. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted January 22, 2022 #45057 Share Posted January 22, 2022 @sgmn Australia is definitely worth visiting, don’t let my post put you off.

Arzeena Posted January 22, 2022 #45059 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Was reading about the current Oasis charter cruise. Lot of charters all the time and nothing against that or anybody, but during covid situations.... this?..........I am at a loss for words looking at the pictures. I feel really bad for the crew. Royal allows this??!!!! (for $ 6 mill I guess anything goes but to compromise the safety of their crew during this time. by doing packed charters is just not right on Royal's part). It is a shame! I pray that the crew stays safe. Edited January 22, 2022 by Arzeena 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy anniversary! 16 hours ago, Husky1987 said: Funny story...growing up I HATED vegetables. Raw carrots was all I'd eat. When I was about 10, my mom and dad tried to make me eat peas. Put 3 (3!!!) peas on my plate. I refused. I remember my dad telling me he'd put them in the middle of a peanut butter sandwich, I'd never know they were there. I refused. Sat there until 10:00 at night. They finally gave up. To this day, if I put a couple peas on a spoon and get them near my open mouth...gag reflex. Completely psychological at this point. 🤣🤢 16 hours ago, LucasLikesToCruise said: I can’t stand peas either. Growing up I had to at least try everything that was on my plate at every meal, in case my tastes changed as I grew older. Peas was about the only thing I was allowed to skip because my dad hated them as well. Peas are like round green raisins @A&L_Ont 🤢 I'm the same with peas. I can barely stand to look at them. Not sure why. Andrew's roast beef dinner picture looked great until I saw the peas. 16 hours ago, jagsfan said: Thank you. Not surprised about the Love Island couple. And not missing them. I hope we see some of the others in another season. Didn't surprise me either. In fact, if the show had continued when it originally started, it wouldn't have surprised me if she had walked out on him in the middle of the race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The York Minster is definitely a must do. If you are OK climbing stairs (a lot of stairs!), there is a nice view from the roof. The Minster itself is spectacular but my favorite part was the roman ruins in the Undercroft Museum. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished watching 'Archive 81', pretty good if you like weird mysterious creepy horror shows. Couple of interesting twists. Without giving anything away, there are a few disturbing themes so it's not for the faint of heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted January 22, 2022 #45069 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The two boxes of Binax home tests we ordered Thursday night from Walmart were delivered at 8 am this morning. I’ll stop by the library as @Sheal mentioned to see if I can get a couple more. I’m holding off on ordering the free kits from the govt due to the timeframe. We leave at the end of the month which is when they’re supposed to be shipped. Our mail will be held for 3 weeks by the P.O. but I don’t know if they hold packages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We flew the day before a cruise once…to Barcelona. Which meant, of course, arriving the morning of. I wasn’t worried till our flight out of Atlanta was delayed. The next couple of hours I spent trying to remember if it’s heading east or west over the Atlantic that the winds push the plane. We arrived in plenty of time but ever since then we fly two days prior, even domestically. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
