Remember Capt. Mark from a Med season? Why do you think he was a one and done?

 

I've watched them all. I don't remember him. Must not have been too memorable.

Small world we live in!!  I loved living in and growing up on the Island.  Living so close to Manhattan was convenient.  The Island has gotten so crowded now.  Traffic had become a nightmare.  Where did you work on the Island?  I loved working in Manhattan years ago.

I was an Asst. Counselor at a Day Camp,the Henry Kaufman Campgrounds .

For 10 summers, I attended day camp on Staten Island and daily passed Clove Lake and Silver Lake Parks on Victory Blvd to get to the Henry Kaufman Campgrounds.  Best summers of my life.

 

@h20skibumLooks like a wonderful day at the car show.  Great to see folks enjoying themselves after being cooped up so long.

Which years were you a camper ? I worked at the camp in the summer of 1959.I still have a list of the staff who worked there for many years.

I think the boat he was on was the Ionian Princess? He was a rather reserved guy with little personality as I remember him.

We still have the last episode of below deck to watch. It was a train wreck, but the Chef was good this season.  

I agree. I am going to watch the reunion show. Supposed to be a lot of drama including if JL is the father of Dani's baby. Hard to believe that I would get caught up in all this. Looking forward to June 28th for BD Med Season 6.

Many thanks. He somehow has to get through the next couple days of school, but he will survive. 

Congrats to Owen. It's amazing how fast they grow up. Cherish every moment.

I think I read somewhere that he did not like being on camera and that the show ended up not being his thing. He was kind of a private person from what I remember reading.

I was reading on a Bravo gossip site that he agreed he might be the father. He's been working in South America and has been out of the gossip mill for a while.

I was there that year!  Did your wife work there too?  I remember two counselors names, Maxine and Aleta.  Maxine's boyfriend was Allan, a counselor. Phil was the supervisor, Marian was the swim lifeguard who always wore a huge straw hat. 

 

You really keep a lot of old stuff like that, don't you.

 

6 degrees of separation!!

I agree. Did you hear the comment that Dani made right before going into the master suite with JL? “It’s God’s will.” She was referring to if she got pregnant or not. No idiot, it’s called protection. 🤮

My husband is addicted to that show.  I can't get into it.

I had not heard of it until someone mentioned it on here about 3 - 4 months ago. Now I’m watching them all including reruns. 😁 Hubby doesn’t like reality shows. For the most part it’s fun to watch, but sometimes some of them say the most ridiculous and stupid stuff. Can someone really be that stupid or do they get paid extra to say such things? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Maybe a bit of both?

Could be. Sometimes I just can’t deal with stupid. Sorry about my little rant.

Love this. So fabulous to see how the rainbow splits the sky. 

Thanks...just in the right place at the right time.  Struck me as so surreal.  🙂

All this talk about various TV shows got me thinking.   The first rental home we were in had a TV, but something was wrong with the Satellite signal...only received in and out picture...but never any audio.  Gave up.  No TV for 2 weeks.

 

Now...this quaint typical remote seaside cottage further north in Maine...no TV at all.  Though I am happy we have a Stereo to play our soft jazz CDs.  Now has been 3 weeks no TV.  

 

Guess what?  I don't miss it at all.  😉  No more stressing out with the "bad news" on the the news channels.   I can get weather info on my phone or laptop.....and really never was much on watching a lot of shows on TV.  Movies...yes.  Commercial TV with all the ever increasing ads...no...not at all.  

 

OK...you can all throw darts at me now.  😄

@island lady what if there was no wifi?😁

I'm not big on TV either - I was always watching sport but the NFL and MLB have gotten too political and stopped watching (my little protest). As you said - not missing much!!!!!

Will have that situation at rental #4, what we are fondly calling the "Moose Cabin".   As long as I have AT&T cell signal...I have WIFI for my laptop (tethering service I keep for non internet situations).   

 

The "Moose cabin" is 10 miles from the Canadian border, with their cell signals much stronger along that line.  So I am going to do a 30 day international plan with AT&T...which will give me the signal I need for that month.  

 

Otherwise...no.   I won't rent a home, or anything, if I can't get WIFI at all.  I am not THAT primitive!  😄

I do love watching DVD movies though.  We brought about 30 of them with us...no commercials. 🤗

The soft Jazz CDs for the stereo are the "happy hour" back ground.  😉

Check the TV to see if you can attach rabbit ears and add aluminum foil as needed.😏😆
