@HBE4 Thanks for the info!
Once a week trim seems like a good idea.
He will check out the brands. Rechargeable is the way to go, I think.

@h20skibum Thank you for the info!
I use a Wahl hair trimmer for giving DH buzz cuts. They make good products.
He can go to their web site to check the trimmers out.

Just a question for the gentlemen on this board who have beards. Do you trim your beard at home with a beard trimmer or go to a barber for regular trims?
Asking for a friend.- my DH.
He had it trimmed once so far and is thinking about getting a trimmer to take care of his beard by himself.
Thanks for any advice.

@Sea Dog My two cents-
You look younger without the mustache,however,it does compliment your name of SeaDog.
As long as you and your wife like the ‘stash,that’s all that matters.
My DH has had a mustache for years. It goes with his face,or maybe I am used to it for all these years.Recently,he decided to grow a beard !!! I think it makes him look much older as it is all white. Hoping he decides to shave it off one of these days.
@Keksie It looks like the kitchen reno will open up the area to the living room. Looks good. I am always interested in renovations and decorating done to people’s homes. Hope the work continues to go as planned and that you are pleased with the final results.
@lenquixote66 Glad that you finally got a Mickey Mouse tee shirt !
My DH has worn a gold Mickey Mouse watch for years. Mickey is very subtle on the watch face,a small image near the numeral 6. It is a prized possession for him. Reminds him to be young at heart !
As for the Playoff Games so far- Chiefs had a tough game -weather wise. Playing in those temps showed their tenacity.
Glad the Packers won- a young team coming together with Love playing great..
Also glad for the Lions’ win - always cheer for the underdog. It was their first Playoff Game win in decades.
Hoping the Bills hold on to their lead tonight. Another freezing cold game,but it’s January in Buffalo.
It will be interesting who wins the Bucs’ Eagles’game later tonight.
It seems that football and the weather are giving a lot of people something to talk about!
Stay safe and warm everyone!

@Greenpea2 I get it about your feelings for your car. We always have names for our cars. I am driving a black Honda Accord Hybrid now. We named her Kit after the car in Knight Rider.
I always feel sentimental when we need to let a car go for a new car.Your actions to your CRV only shows that you have good heart.
Hoping you and DH feel better each day and that good fortune comes your way soon.

So,let me understand this.
b2b passengers who
have been on a Noro infested ship are going to be bused to a local Mall to return to the ship after noon. I understand that the ship needs to have a deep cleaning/sanitation and passengers must leave the ship,but doesn’t that put those passengers into a general population that could be infected by those who have been exposed to Noro on the ship?
This is how viruses get out of hand.I would think that there would be a better plan to accommodate the returning passengers while the ship is being cleaned. Perhaps put them in part of the terminal or a lounge on the ship that could be cleaned once passengers were allowed to return to their cabins.
Another thought-
I became ill on a Summit cruise this past June. I thought it was either food poisoning or Noro virus.
After we returned home, I still did not feel well and took a Covid test. It was positive.
Our family Doctor told me that intestinal upset is a symptom of Covid.
Perhaps this doesn’t matter really,because both Noro and Covid are nasty viruses.

Just a thought-with Rover being onboard,will that encourage passengers to bring the family dog on a cruise?
I am not referring to service dogs, but pets.

My question is - why ?

My sympathies to those who have recently lost loved ones. Also, empathy to those who have loved ones who are sick or facing surgery.
There are many kind posters here who have expressed wishes to those who are dealing with loss and concern.
I am certain that such thoughts have helped posters here who have shared their heartaches.

You are indeed a fortunate man to have good health.
My grandson was diagnosed with Diabetes 1 at age seven.
My DH has anxiety and the medication he takes improves both of our lives.
I have been taking Asthma medication since my early forties.
I think most of the responses here to your post has caused you to realize that medication is not an age issue, but,perhaps a quality of life issue.
Now, back to @island lady and her posts about her cruise.

Hello Norris- I was pleased to find your present GSJ. ( Since I have read many of your cruise reviews, I know what the letters GSJ stand for on CC!).
I will frequently check here for more of your postings.
The photos of the Ruby bring back fond memories of the Crown as I think they are sister ships. We enjoyed two cruises on the Crown when she was brand new.
I agree that those Promenade decks are the best for connecting to the ocean and taking invigorating walks.
it is a pity that those decks are not an element of the newer designed ships.
Hoping that you feel better each day.
Wishing you and Carol many good days in 2024 !

@mo&fran There are some You Tube videos of people on the WC.
One is by a retired couple- I think they go by Life Phase 2 (or something like that). If you search RCL World Cruise on You Tube , their site should come up.
As I have noted before @island lady is doing a great job of keeping CC readers up to date on the WC and their experiences.
Maybe,among the “new” passengers that boarded the ship recently, someone may be posting on CC as well.

You can always make your own sea days.
Just don’t get off the ship at a port that is not very interesting for you.
A near empty ship is a treat.
Unless there is the FOMO .

Happy New Year,everyone!
The various posts about RCL’s World Cruise caused me to do a bit of research.
(Yes,it was a quiet day yesterday, so the research gave me something to do!).
I looked at some cruise line companies that have done these cruises for a number of years.
Princess-WC for January 2025-116 days,51 destinations,26 countries,6 continents.
HAL-January 2025- 124 days,46 ports,32 countries.
Viking- January 2025- 138 days-57 ports,28 countries,5continents.
For those of you thinking about a 2024 WC, Cunard has availability-
January 2024-107 nights. All sold out except for Queens Grill Suites from $197,599.
The length of these cruises seem more doable than RCL IMHO.
Getting back to the RCL WC, I would like to thank @island lady (I think her name is Pat and DH’s name is Bucky.). for taking the time to post updates on her impressions and experiences of the cruise. Wishing you continued good days and interesting adventures!
There is a couple posting their WC experiences on You Tube. I think they go by Life Phase 2. I don’t have a link to their site, but if you search YT for the RCL World Cruise,they should come up. They are documenting both their experiences on the ship and the excursions they are taking.
Enjoy the day!

@lenquixote66 Lenny-Small world connection.
You mentioned Florida,NY.
One of my good friend’s ex husband and his second wife live in Florida, NY!
I think it is near Nyack , NY.
Take care

2 hours ago, DaniDanielle said:
Now, that is a feast of seven fishes I could handle!
One of my friends has been cooking/preparing the feast for days.
She is serving shrimp, calamari, fish sauce, clams, baccala (sp?), flounder and oysters.
Another friend is cutting down the tradition and having shrimp and prime rib.
With my Irish German background, we did not have the tradition of fish on Christmas Eve, but we have celebrated the Eve with Italian friends and have enjoyed the feast!
We all celebrate in different ways. The important thing is being with family and friends at this time of year!
Cheers!

Sending good wishes at Christmas to all who post here.-
For those who are missing a loved one at their holiday table, I wish you peaceful hearts and good memories.
For those dealing with health issues and upcoming surgeries, I wish you successful outcomes, healing recoveries and good days in the new year.
For those travelling now or later, I wish you adventures full of enjoyment, wonder and safety.
For those who are raising children, I wish you patience and courage as you keep them in your heart while letting them discover what life offers them.
For everyone who is dealing with the ups and downs of life, I wish you compassionate people in your life to help
get you through the rough spots and celebrate with you during the good times.
I just read over my wish list for all
who post here. It occurred to me that those are wishes for everyday, not only at Christmas !
So, happy Christmas and wishes to all for a peaceful and healthy new year.

Dani-Very glad to see that you and others could take a breather at the local beach.
I always think that looking at water ,wether it is ocean , bay or lake etc is a relaxing thing to do.
Take care-

@Sea Dog Since you asked…
I think the money from the cancelled cruise could be used in other ways instead of the lights. IMHO they make a house look like the buildings lit up on Main Street in Disneyworld- a bit too commercial for my taste.
The poster who suggested using the $$$ for and aide/caretaker for Linda post shoulder surgery and/or a housekeeper during both of your recovery time is a very good suggestion. It would make both of your lives easier while dealing with post-op pain and healing.
But, it is your $$$,your house and your decision,of course.

Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" 😁 day in lockdown... how was yours?)
in Royal Caribbean International
Posted
@bobmacliberty I enjoyed the photos of your visit to Central Park.
My DH and I enjoyed many walks through the park during all four seasons. Spring and Fall are especially beautiful there.
We have enjoyed dinners and lunches at both Tavern on the Green and The Boathouse.
When my Godaughter and her sister visited NYC for the first time as children, they insisted on finding the statue if Baltic in the park.After quite a trick,we found it! I think it was in the area of the Dairy building.
We always enjoyed watching the remote controlled boats there and ice skaters in the Winter.
I am glad that you included CP on your itinerary.
Unfortunately, my DH and I have not been to the City since Nov 2019. Dealing with Covid and hearing reports of the general decline of Manhattan- as you witnessed in Grand Central- has prevented us from making visits there.
Maybe we will make a return visit someday.
