Has anyone heard the old wives tale that saying “Rabbit” on the first day of the month brings you good luck for the whole month? I picked that up in my youth, no idea from where. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65 Gator Posted February 1, 2021 #28 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Thank you Dailyites for my morning enjoyment. Tonight will be leftovers since I am off to help staff our vaccine clinic today until 5:00. Not enjoying the cold and rain here in coastal Carolina. Oh, how I wish I could move back to my old home town of Sebring, FL and enjoy that weather. Please, wear your mask... 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I got yesterday was a rotating circle so the cam may not be fully operational yet. Roy The camera was working when I checked the site right before I posted. So hopefully they fixed the problem 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superoma Posted February 1, 2021 #30 Share Posted February 1, 2021 1 hour ago, kazu said: Oh sorry, we have a generator. It only powers the fridges, well pump (very important), garage door, tv, internet, and a few outlets. So, both my microwave and slow cooker work as they can be connected to that outlet even though my stove doesn’t 😉 So, we still turn up the heat if there are power fears but we can plug in some electric heaters to help. Ok, makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our power outages weren’t all that frequent - maybe 3 times a year but they could last for some time. I got tired of filling the bath tub out of fear we would lose power to flush toilets, etc. The well pump needs electricity and without it there is no water running. Since we got the generator, I swear we don’t lose power as often 😂 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted February 1, 2021 #39 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Good morning all! I too laughed out loud at "Spunky Old Broads" and I'm sure Rich was grinning as he posted it. 😉 I'll take spunky any day but don't dare call me an old broad! 😂 I'll join Roy @rafinmdin celebrating Freedom Day a couple weeks after getting my second jab. Cannot wait until our Feb. 18 appointment. It's around 45-50F here, but snow is expected on Friday. I know it's still winter, but turning that calendar page over to February always feels good. The crocus are up and the helllebore is blooming, spring isn't far now! Last summer I dreaded how long the winter would seem during Covid, but it really hasn't been too awful and has passed faster than I expected. Keeping busy with puzzles, counted cross stitch, and planning road trips. Yesterday and the day before I put away our Christmas Village, a job in itself as it takes up 2-3 6-foot tables depending on how much I put out each year. It takes several weeks to put up, and a couple days to put away. 😄 The dinner sounds good, but we had Sloppy Joes last night (just not on pizza) so I'll take out some chicken for tonight. Stay safe everyone, we will get through this! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too do Christmas villages. Been collecting since 1985. Downsized when we moved from IL to FL. Now have "just" 23' of etageres in one room, 9' in another and 2 12' shelves of a year-round village - not counting a 4' shelf that gets changed out each season. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e_brick Posted February 1, 2021 #43 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Rich and fellow cruisers, In these days of the pandemic and cruises about ready to re-start, I noticed that the Laundry Lists do not yet have a listing for "Mask" (price?). Also, the gift shop with sundry items might carry Cruise Line-logo masks. Trivia Game winning prize of a logo mask? Bon Voyage Gift - logo mask 3 for $? We use washable masks and launder them regularly. Will be interesting to see the handout coming with your daily news at your cabin on the first test cruise: "Mask Wearing Policy of (insert cruise line) and Special Notes From (insert cruise ship). 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhead Fred Posted February 1, 2021 #44 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) We did vegetarian last night. Mitzi found a "Pumpkin and Black Bean Rice Baked Rice" recipe in the Washington Post so we gave it a try. We used butternut squash in lieu of pumpkin and it was very good. We will definitely make this periodically! Here is the original link (pay wall) and a PDF of the recipe - A one-pan pumpkin, black bean and vegan rice recipe - The Washington Post 210117.pdf https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2021/01/17/baked-rice-pumpkin-beans-recipe/ Here are a couple more photos from Taipei. I visited in both 2010 and 2011 and presented a technical paper on flexible displays and barrier films/adhesives at a conference and trade show near Taipei 101. We went up to the top of this interesting building, but it was overcast and the views were not as good as we had hoped for. It was still a worthwhile excursion and I would recommend it. The company put me up in the rather posh Shangri-La Far Eastern Plaza Hotel for both trips. It had the most amazing breakfast/brunch buffet - fresh passion fruit juice every morning!

smitty34877 Posted February 1, 2021 #46 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Good morning from snowy New York! It looks quite lovely but there is a lot of it already(10 inches or so) with an expected 8 to 10 more by tomorrow.We are fortunate in that we share a 2 family house with DD and SIL and they do the shoveling. I was just out with the dog and a neighbor 2 doors down did our sidewalk with his snow blower. He is a nice person as every little bit of help is appreciated. The winds are increasing and we all worry about the power around here but so far so good. My brother and I have done a few cruises with our spouses and we were discussing a few options for 2022 yesterday. I had wonderful dreams of ports and fog horns and laughing together again. I miss him so much I think I would even let him call me a "spunky old broad"! Terry 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunnorl Posted February 1, 2021 #48 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Good Morning Everyone from a breezy but sunny day at the beach. We were able to do water aerobics this morning but that may be it for a few days. Suppose to get cold. Not complaining because it is nothing like others parts of the country and I understand it is good for our rivers to have a bout of cold weather. Our positivity rate is decreasing and our numbers are coming down. I am concerned because the Super Bowl is in Tampa this weekend and the Daytona 500 is the following week. Stay safe and please wear a mask. Strong warm thoughts for all of you in the path of that storm! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted February 1, 2021 #49 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Today is Robinson Crusoe Day. I visited the island twice, first on the Crystal Symphony April 4, 2018, and again on the Prinsendam January 24, 2019. It's a very isolated location. Primary access is an airport on the other side of the island with a couple of small plane flights a week and a 2-hour ride across rough seas in a small open boat to get to civilization. Access by cruise ships is by tender to a rickety pier where the hand rails are falling apart and people steady themselves getting up to the stairs by a few ropes hanging over the sides: There is one town on the island, San Juan Batista: There is one main street that runs for a short distance: But the majority of travel is on "streets" like this: Chile gained independence from Spain in 1814 after a struggle. A group of Spanish leaning people took refuge in one of the now prominent landmarks, "Patriot Caves": The caves are accessed by a primitive trail with steps: Almost directly above the caves is the last remnant of Spanish occupation, Fort Santa Barbara. Not much of the fort is left but the view is lovely: Roy 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
