Of course, the gallery view is limited to about 24. Roy 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieb Posted January 1, 2021 #177 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks to Rich and Roy for maintaining the Daily. I am a constant lurker and occasional poster that really appreciates your efforts. I only noticed one contribution (from Georgia) that mentioned our traditional New Years menu - Collard Greens and Black Eyed Peas. Ours will be in a soup form tonight. New Years is always special in our house since it is also my birthday. Happy New Year to everyone. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I lurk every day although usually am silent, as I rarely have anything substantive to add. But I'm really thinkin' about Rotterdam's inaugural 21-day so perhaps I'll actually meet you @richwmn and @Vict0riann. Anyway, healthy and prosperous new year to all and thanks for sustaining this thread. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisybertie Posted January 1, 2021 #184 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy New Year to everyone who reads the Daily. Thank you to Rich and Roy for maintaining the topic. I am a lurker who reads it every day and really enjoys all the posts from different parts of the world. Here on the far south coast of New South Wales, it is cool and overcast with rain forecast for the next week. This time last year we were surrounded by bush fires and had just spent the new year huddled on the beach with children, dogs, horses and a thousand other people. So, no one is complaining about the weather this year. I wish everyone a healthy and happy year, stay safe. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OCD forces me to line up the plates so that the flying birds are on the top. Yes, I am one of those..... My thought was that on a ship the patterns would have been upright,! I guess I’m OCD too... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An officer on every deck. Just put your glass out and they poured. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately we had done our wine social already so there were a lot of people that came out of my room. You should have seen the looks 😉. An officer ran for more sparkly stuff. 😄 For sure, we all enjoyed his neighborhood party. A meet your neighbor get-together is what they probably called it. One other HAL Captain did that one cruise we were on but unfortunately his name escapes me.🙁 The Captain whose name shall not be repeated had a neighborhood party for us on the Quest Antarctica cruise and it was well received there too. I'm always game for a free glass of champagne (except for a Park West art auction). 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindaler Posted January 2, 2021 #195 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Happy New Year Rich and everyone. The dog could hear people screaming shortly before the fireworks started so I woke up and wrapped her in a blanket and held her until they stopped.They were really pretty. 8 pages wow. Is that a record? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigdilcru Posted January 2, 2021 #196 Share Posted January 2, 2021 okay here goes.... I am a lurker ! I am also not a computer person (I actually hate them) so I will probably never post a picture or a funny meme or cartoon because I really dont know how. may I just say how much I appreciate all of you for giving me the best time of every day when I read what you are all up to. reading this column every day (for the last 5 or6 months) has kept me sane. I also think I may be on a future cruise with dfish (Debbie ?) on the new rotterdam sept 12 to the 19th. so maybe we will meet. That is if this covid will take a hike and we can all get back to some semblence of whatever the new normal is. I wish all of you-a Happy New Year and many thanks for all you do.

I imagine quite a few of us could say the same thing. It certainly has been an odd year, one we won't forget I would say. Hope to see you post again very soon.

If you look at a listing of HAL threads, the next to last 2 fields in the line for each thread are the number of replies on the top line and the number of views (now 3.4K) right underneath it.
