Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" ​ 😁 ​day in lockdown... how was yours?)

[Roger88]

My lockdown I spent entirely at home. It was kinda hard at first but you get used to it quite quickly. Well, now I work completely from home and I enjoy it very much. Stay home, stay safe people !

My eye doctor always told me to wear sunglasses and I did.  Don’t know if that helped but have not had to deal with cataracts, yet anyway.  Charlie had both eyes done two years ago and all went well.

As long as I can remember I've always worn sun glasses.😎 Even when it's overcast.

Am I retired but so far I have only stayed home in March and April of last year.  Other than that I have been going shopping, getting my nails done, eating in restaurants, visiting with my craft group and working with a volunteer group.  I have felt perfectly safe the whole time.  The only I was a little worried was when I was at home during hurricane Sally.

I wear them, too, even when overcast. My eyes have always been very light sensitive. That tends to be more common with blue eyed people.

Me too, including the blue eyes.  Love my Maui Jims.  Great lenses.

I used baby oil and iodine.

 

Me too, with a friend of mine who suggested it when we did some sun time together.  Gave it up later.   Talk about BBQ!!  😮

When you all are finished talking about skin cancers you can start on cataracts from all the past ultraviolet light exposure. Years ago the need for protective sunglasses wasn't much known any more than the dangers of baby oil with iodine mixed in.

 

Oh the bad decisions of our youth!!   And of course none of us wore helmets on our bikes as kids, and the list could go on an on.  

 

But at least when we "friended" someone...it was an actual face to face.  😉   And for some reason we survived without the internet, face book, twitter, cell phones...etc.   How did we ever get by??  😄

Charlie has had two moths a d a bunch of freezing pre-cancerous things.  No fun.

 

Dani, when I first joined CC I had to change my screen name quickly and that was the first thing to come to mind.  Danielle is one of my granddaughters and we call her DaniDanielle.  When I was a young back in the Dark Ages, one of my best friends was Danielle.  Back then there was no one named Marietta or Danielle.  We always knew when We were in trouble and heard our names, no one else to blame!!!

I have had 7 Moh’s surgeries due to being a sun worshipper mainly in Coney Island.I almost never wear sunglasses because I can see better without them.Since there is a discussion here of eye issues I suffer from Fuch’s Dystrophy.The best doctor for this and many other eye problems is located in Bay Ridge.

I grew up in NY (Westchester) but moved to Florida in the early 80's.  Sometimes I think about moving back there someday since my family are all still up the the NE , but right now I am freezing and it's 61 degrees so don't know that I could do that.

Everyone I knew who grew up in Westchester moved to Fla.

Bucky grew up in Ohio....there were many of his neighbors who never left there either.  Born there, school there, married/family there, retired there...and.....literally never left.

Another perfect day in lockdown paradise. I’m going to have to work nine days a week for the next couple of weeks at least so I thought I better knock out another day on the hill. It couldn’t of been more perfect.

I’m trying to leave this area and get back to my home in CA. I was able to leave back at the end of October but delayed it because some folks needed me up here to help them get their programs up and running. I agreed and planned on being home for Christmas. Then one thing led to another and I’m still here. There is so much demand right now if I don’t draw the line I’ll never leave. Hopefully Valentine’s Day in sunny California.

Very good news -- a week after the 2nd dose, the Pfizer vaccine's efficacy was found to be 98% !!! Plenty of antibodies to be found 😁

 

As I've already posted, the medical teams at the biggest hospital in Israel* were monitored after receiving the 1st and 2nd dose (this one 10 days ago).

 

*  "Newsweek" has ranked Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer near Tel Aviv as the world's ninth best hospital (March 2020).
