Rare puppycanducruise Posted January 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Report. Another snowy day here. Interesting days. Not sure about Opposite Day, but Irish coffee sounds like a good idea. Sometimes it's very important to speak up so you will succeed. Good quote, but I thought it was from Albert Einstein. The meal sounds intriguing, looking forward to seeing the recipe and pictures. Hope the drink and wine are good. Another port I have never been to, I hope there are lots of pictures. Happy Birthday @TheKingD🎂 Prayers for everyone. Stay safe. 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Boston Posted January 25, 2022 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Good Tuesday morning everyone and thanks for the daily report. Interesting collection of days today, I haven’t been to Melbourne, Australia yet as it’s on the opposite side of the globe. How’s that for a stretch? We got a little snow last night and I can hear the custodian shoveling snow off the steps to the high school gym next door. The meal sounds interesting I’m sure the recipes will be educational as always. The drink sounds mysterious and the wine sounds like something I’d like. Prayers for everyone on our list. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events today, happy birthday @TheKingD! 29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAM37 Posted January 25, 2022 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. An Irish coffee sounds good this morning, but I only drink them when cruising. I learned to speak up for myself during my first marriage. (Probably not what the day means but I feel it helped me succeed in life.) The quote is a good one. Can't wait to find out what the meal is. @Cruising-alonghappy belated birthday. I hope you had a wonderful day. @ottahand7good news about your stray cat. @marshhawkwelcome home DH. @StLouisCruiserssending prayers for you and your family. @dfishthe material is beautiful and I love the pattern. @kazuwishing you a peaceful day after yesterday which I am sure was stressful. @lazey1 it's great to hear good news about Kakalena The shower wall is done so DH will grout today and tomorrow. We may be going to Verizon today which will most likely take up a good chunk of the day. (The closest one is 45 minutes away in Canton.) Extra prayers for the firemen's families and friends in Baltimore, @StLouisCruisersfamily members, @kazu, Jose, Marley and their medical teams, and @Cruzin Terri. Have a great day. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists. 29 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crazy For Cats Posted January 25, 2022 #13 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. We got a dusting of snow overnight, I’ll take the broom to that it a bit. I’ll wait for @dfish recipes to decide yeah or nay. Today’s quote is definitely a favorite.

Rare rafinmd Posted January 25, 2022 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2022 OK, I can't resist. Melbourne was my last time in in-person worship in about 19 months at St. Michael's Uniting Church (Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational): It was also the 10th and last (to date) I attended Come From Away, and had seen it with all the major production companies: Roy 35 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted January 25, 2022 #15 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Good afternoon. 39°F and cloudy here in NE England. Thank you for today's daily and fleet reports Rich. Thank you Roy for keeping the lists current. Great collection of days. I regularly used to go to my wholesaler customers sales meetings to speak about our company's products. When we went to Dublin at new year 2000 I experienced Irish coffee made with Jameson's whisky. Sadly the quote is true not only for insane people. I will pass on the food and drink. Australia is next on our bucket list so Melbourne will be nice to see our friends photos. Prayers for all on the care list and for the families of the 3 dead and 1 severely injured Baltimore firemen. Take care. Graham. Edited January 25, 2022 by grapau27 32 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted January 25, 2022 #16 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just got back from the gym and have a hair appointment this morning but wanted to drop in and let you all know DSIL's Mom died last night about 10 pm. Her MRI yesterday confirmed fluid on the brain and even if the surgeons drained it she was not going to live. Her brain was too damaged by all the stroke/seizures she experienced in the past 10 days. DSIL, his Dad and sister said their goodbyes and they started removing feeding tubes. 😪 Very shocking when someone passes so swiftly but I suppose better than lying in bed in a vegatative state for months or years. Roy, please remove DSIL from the Celebration list. Thank you all for your earnest prayers but God does what he has planned. If I have a little time before my appointment I will come back to read. 16 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat shepard Posted January 25, 2022 #18 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Another issue with my pictures. Not sure why certain ones cause problems. It wasn’t even the one with the cuss word.🤔 Anyway, the Winter series continues…. Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone! ******** What a name! The 2020 vintage has very good - excellent ratings and a decent price. It is a dry rosé and I might need to wait for the weather to warm up before trying it. A bit elusive. I found one online distributor offering it for $16.99. You might find it for less locally. Distributor Notes Trey Busch of Sleight of Hand Cellars and Mark Ryan McNeilly first bonded over rock music. A few years later, they decided to launch The Underground Wine Project in 2009. The lion’s share is devoted to Mr. Pink, a Sangiovese-driven rosé that’s bright and chock full of nerve. It’s decidedly Mr. Pink in color, and opens with a nose combining fruit (strawberry, clementine, summer melon), greens (mint, watermelon rind), citrus (orange peel and grapefruit) and subtleties of Aperol bitters. This is a refreshing summer stunner with mouthwatering natural acidity that surges along a lithe frame. It received a gold medal in 2018 at the Great Northwest Invitational Wine Competition in Hood River, Ore. 28 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted January 25, 2022 #24 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Good morning, thanks for the Daily! I could go for an Irish coffee right now, but we don't have any Jamieson's in the house; Bailey's will have to do. I learned to speak up for myself at an early age. Well we're back in the deep freeze again with the temp at -31C with a wind chill of -42C. Tis a chilly one out there this morning. We have to bundle up and warm up the car because in an hour we have to take Sochi to the vet. It seems she has an ingrown "thumbnail" - I have no idea what else to call it. LOL She had one a couple of years ago and hasn't had any problems since then, but I was holding her the other day and touched her paw when she drew back quickly. I realized something was wrong, and of course, can you ever get a cat to sit still when you want to see something on their body? Yeah, right. Worse than a squirmy child. @TheKingDHappy Birthday to you! @StLouisCruisers how sad for the family of your DSIL to lose their dear mom and wife. Please pass along our condolences. @Cruzin Terri good luck with your procedure today. @Live4cruises good luck with your procedure today as well. Not a lot happening here today, just staying indoors and keeping warm. Of course now that the cold temps have returned the positive thing is there wasn't any new snow. I'm not sure we'd enjoy today's menu suggestion, so I'll venture out to the "ice cave" and bring in some salmon that will go in the oven. While it's baking, I'll make a pan of pan-fried potatoes with onions and green beans - a favourite of DH's. Accompanied by a salad, that's what will be on our dinner table tonight. And wine. Prayers for everyone who needs them and even for those who don't think they do. Extra prayers for Jose, his medical team, Jacqui, and all our Daily-ites and families who are suffering health issues. We'll clink the glasses tonight to celebrate all on the happy list. Wash your hands, wear your masks, be well, get your boosters, stay safe and keep warm! Smooth Sailing! 🙂🙂🙂 Gerry Edited January 25, 2022 by ger_77 35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
