Rare lazydayz Posted December 6, 2022 #1130 Share Posted December 6, 2022 50 minutes ago, sid_9169 said: Someone mentioned earlier that I just didn't seem like myself this week. The truth is, they're right. There's a lot of stuff that I need to fix in my life, and drinking is probably one of them. I know that a lot of people like to really cut lose when they go on a cruise, but they're for the most part, light drinkers or something back home. Well, my everyday life pretty much revolves around drinking every night after work. I've tried to cut back, and have completely non drinking nights, but those are few and far between. What I've been consuming on board is about what I would drink on an average Monday evening. My goal when I get back home is to give it a much better effort. I assume that I'm doing terrible harm to my health, but that's a whole nother story. I'm about to dig my one pair of pants out of the bottom of my suitcase and start getting ready for dinner at Rudi's Sea Grill. I might go down to the bar and have a couple before dinner, but I'm going to try and pace myself better tonight. I know y'all are thinking "heck, he's never even come close to 15", which is true, but the drinks I've been having are pretty stout by design. Once I pass that certain point, I go from Jekyll to Hyde pretty quick... Anyhoo, that's my problem to try and work on......... Let the show continue... Sid, Enjoy dinner at Rudi's. That's my fav of the specialty restaurants on Mardi Gras. And it is healthy to look at our lifestyles every once in awhile and try to change some things up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is I thought you seemed more like yourself this week. I follow you every day, and know your ups and downs, and this week you were excited to be back in Miami and on a cruise. It’s been nice to see you happy for while. Just have to be careful with that devil that has its grip on you. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 6, 2022 Author #1133 Share Posted December 6, 2022 There's no way I could ever do a bartending type job. First, I'm not social enough, but mostly it seems like a very high pressure type deal. My hat is off to the ones who can handle it. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Carnival tried to make everything hands free, the timers are so slow I could be done before the door ever fully closed and locked. I was hoping they didn't repeat the same mistake on the Celebration. Oh well, maybe the Jubilee will be better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 6, 2022 Author #1143 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Rudi's Sea Grill... When I started giving the waiter my order, I made it all the way to the end, and then he said "okay, what would you like for dessert?"... I told him that I don't eat dessert, and I'll just get another app. He says that he'll have to check with the chef. I just gave him my additional app, and hopefully there's no trouble here. I don't see what the big deal is. I'm just trying to trade one item for another... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 6, 2022 Author #1144 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Apparently, this is the shrimp app... It's literally an inch long. If they try to hold out on the rest of my order I'll flip this table over. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure that’s just a chef’s complimentary starter, from what I’ve seen most appetizers are MUCH bigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
