Keksie

My husband gave me an advent set of mini skeins of yarn for Christmas. I finally finished a shawl using all 25 skeins. Now on to something else! On the blocking mats. Thank goodness for a queen size bed and a guest bedroom. LOL Glamour shot

@Sea Dog and @jmh2006 have wonderful birthdays!

That looks like a wonderful trip!

Why should anyone have to "survive" on a vacation? Vacations are supposed to be fun and relaxing or exciting and unless you sign up for a reality show not survival.

Have a wonderful cruise! At least they were using the walk and not the grass. LOL

So in the MDR, regular room service, and Specialty restaurants they can save all the fuss by setting the tables with paper plates and plastic cutlery? I think the main point for me is why are they treating their customers who have the misfortune to test positive and let medical know like second class citizens?

Not a bad view while eating dinner.

Yes. My husband just happened to catch a glimpse of the Facebook post from the breeder I got Samantha from. I was going to scroll on by (really I was). He said see how much she is and when she will be ready. Who was I to say no? I am driving to Texas to pick her up June 5/6. I think it will be good for Samantha to have someone to play with. The other 3 cats are so much older they don't play with her much.

Well there is that! LOL

Too precious. Such angels. So glad you got them both.

I am too excited to keep the secret but Samantha is getting a little sister in June. First picture of Annabel:

I will post updates in the other thread. Another Maine Coon from the same breeder but different parents.

Except I would still be paying my house sitter for those days. Spending days on end in a cabin with substandard service does not seem like a fun time to me either.

This just reaffirms my decision to not cruise until all these protocols go away. The thought of being in a lesser quality cabin and getting crappy food while paying for that privilege makes me give cruising a hard pass. Along with the possibility of masks being required again and having to test. Just not worth it.

Perfect!

How much fun. Can't wait to see pictures of the new fluff baby. Have fun on the cruise

Those are great. Very creative. @reallyitsmema I hope everything turns out so that you can go and not worry about your Mom due to her being ok. @Mrs. H. Hello, my name is Karen, we live in Florida and have 2 dogs and 4 cats currently. The newest addition to our home is Samantha the Maine Coon cat.

Since anyone with covid, vaccinated or not can be contagious I would think that you would be concerned about either population. Good luck on that test since I have been reading a lot of posts stating that people tested positive even though they stayed masked and away from other people most of the time.

This is just an idea for in the meantime. It has worked for me and a few other people but not for everyone. I have arthritis in my knees and my hands. Now I take Celebrex and it helps my knees. Before I had that prescription I got relief using rosemary oil. Just rub a little in. I still use it when I have been knitting all day and my hands start hurting. I have also used Voltaren gel but I find the oil works better.

They should let people stay in the cabin they have. We won't be cruising but if we did it would be with a large quantity of OTC drugs and would not go to medical unless it was dire.

Sadly there are probably some people doing that.

Well Carnac says "your guess is as good as mine" Just when you think the protocols will go away, here comes masks, more testing, more quarantining. There could be the next millionth variant and the 20th booster needed by then.

So sorry. I hope you get better fast. Drink lots of fluids.

What I am scared of is spending money and making all the arrangements at home to be gone only to have a less then enjoyable time. Especially when there are alternatives available. We have been living our lives and haven't had to deal with any protocols for over a year now and I sure don't want to on a vacation. Enjoy your cruise.

So sorry your knees hurt. Hope the x-rays lead to relief.
