Jim Avery Posted February 19, 2022 #701 Share Posted February 19, 2022 haha, your peanut butter saga reminds me that yogurt changes from region to region on a WC. Some, like your peanut butter was inedible. Some, like around Scotland or Norway was very good. Another travel experience.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually arrangements of Christmas pieces I recorded on cassette using a 4-track Yamaha back in the 90s (with the intention of sending some demo stuff to Windham Hill since, as you might know, they were always releasing those "Winter Solstice" albums - but, they weren't accepting many new submissions, so that, as they say, was that. Most recently my daughter wanted a digitized version of it, so it has all been resurrected. Now that it has been converted to digital, figured might as well proceed further. Very new-agey and so likely not your thing! New-agey is my thing along with JS Bach of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be boarding the Star in September and hoping it is not the same room. With modern vacuum systems, when experiencing repeated system outages in a zone, most of them are caused by pax flushing material that should not be flushed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issues lately have been systemic and not related to our room. We will be a floor and the opposite end of the ship. Hopefully they will get it fixed for you soon.

As I have pointed out in a couple of previous posts, two things go into a cruise ship toilet - toilet paper supplied by the ship and anything that comes out of your body. Between that and the pictogram of items NOT to flush on the inside of the toilet lid, you'd think people would get it. But no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you and others eat all three meals everyday. How do you do it? I walk 90 minutes a day, have a muffin for lunch, and dinner and it is still difficult to keep my weight down. I envy people who can eat all day and not gain weight. Life is not fair. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We call it gap filler. You have to have been brought up on it to like marmite. Almost every child takes marmite sandwiches to school . Vegemite is Australian, while in New Zealand marmite is the main brand. I alternate between them. Had to send jars of marmite to my son while he was living in Holland.
