Great story to how he was named, as I am happy to see hockey back on again. Thank you, but there's bit more. Dubinsky (cat) has a black spot on his nose. One day, Dubinsky (hockey player) walked by us on a plane. He had just been in a hockey fight and had a black mark on his nose. Yes, the cat and hockey player look alike! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I'm watching Let's Make A Deal right now and it's the first question Wayne Brady asks each contestant. I retired in March, but I always told the truth (mostly) that I was a US Gov employee. I just left off who I worked for because it usually invited questions I really couldn't answer plus we were always told to be as vague as possible. So, to me that questions is fine as long as people don't interrogate you. If you leave it at the question, it’s fine. However, most people don’t stop there. Ask for free diagnosis. My reply to them is typically, you have your credit card, otherwise make an appointment. We are on vacation. M8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you see here people say it’s an Innocent question, ice breaker. Personally, we feel it’s a rude and unwelcome question. What does it matter what one does, especially on a cruise ship.

We have never worn any of our pins either. In fact, I accidentally threw out our D pins on the cruise we received them on as they were in a stack of papers. Our D+ pins are still attached to the cardboard they came on and are in a drawer somewhere. I met a P a couple of years ago in the CL and he was a rather interesting character. DW and I were doing a b2b and he was getting on the ship for 8 weeks. He mentioned that he was wearing his P name badge and some people would make fun of those wearing their P badge. He said his P name badge was the most expensive piece of jewelry he owned and he was going to wear it, for most P's I'm sure there is no truer statement. I'd probably wear my P badge too if I ever got to that level.....which is looking very unlikely at this point. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us just don't want to spend a week in the lounge discussing our employment. In addition, some of our work is mentally demanding and we are thinking about almost all the time.

Most people don't have strong feelings about religion anymore. Is that good or bad? Brexit, however, falls under "politics." Sadly, our country has become woefully divided over the last few years and feelings are often strong and judgmental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In certain areas of the UK there are people with very strong feelings about religion,often with not good results! As for Brexit it became more personal than politics,dragging on so long that people became well & truly sick of hearing of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
