 On another note, we were at a friends’ house last night for the Derby and dinner. One of the couples just returned from a cruise on the Anthem. While onboard,they booked another cruise for next May on Liberty of the Seas.

I have not read much about that ship on CC. Has anyone sailed on that ship ? We are think8ng of joining them along with some other friends. The itinerary looks good- Bermuda and Puerto Rico are a few of the ports,plus it is a nine day cruise.

Any info would be appreciated.

MJ👩🏻

We were on Liberty somewhat recently.  I do not recall any issues with her.  

Last labor day I think it was.  I did a live review.  It was a Bermuda sailing originally that got diverted to NE/CA due to a hurricane.

Love Pierogi with sour cream and onions.  Yummm!

Reminds me I really need to make a batch of pierogis.  I learned the recipe my grandparents handed down and have been making my own from scratch for years.  A lot of work but worth it.

This the best I can do this morning.

I know we have a lot of Seinfeld lovers on this thread so I thought I would share.  I saw a clip this morning of an interview with Jerry Seinfeld by Rich Eisen where Jerry explains some unknown facts about the famous "Marine Biologist" episode.  He said that he came up with the idea to connect Kramer's golf ball with the distressed whale at 2 am prior to filming day.  Before that, the distressed whale and Kramer hitting golf balls into the ocean were just two separate story lines in the episode. 

George's speech .. "The sea was angry that day my friends..." was also written at 2am the night before and Jason Alexander was given 30 minutes to memorize 2 1/2 pages of new script before shooting (and 100% nailed it). 

To top it all off, they needed to get approval from Titleist right before the episode in order for Kramer to be able ask if the ball George found in the whales blow hole was "a Titleist."  by name.

I found the story fascinating so I thought I would share with fellow Seinfeld enthusiasts.

Starts at 2:05.

I ❤️ all the Kitties!  

I do not have any cats but here’s my gang just hanging out today enjoying the sunshine (while I work outside 🥵)

So, how was the trail today?   Either we are getting a little older, or it got a little harder. We did about a five mile loop on the trails.  This is part of the North Country Trail. 

‘This part is easy

 

 

There is a trail in there somewhere. 
 

 

Lots of nice water views

 

 

With some small waterfalls. 
 

 

I am glad they cleared some of the downed trees. 
 

 

That isn’t too steep.  It is almost like a staircase

 

 

And speaking of cats, that looks like an old cat on the trail. 😂

 

 

And, a much slower cat. 😂

 

 

 

😍 McConnells Mills.  Been meaning to get up there again.  Been too long.  Beautiful place.

My doctor brother has told me that steroid injections in the knee can actually make your arthritis worse. Have you considered a hyaluronic acid injection such as Synvisc or Duralane? They are like a lubricant for the knee and worked well for me.

 

 

 

Winner! Winner!! EH Taylor is my favorite and I love the Widow Jane. Is that the 10 year? Great stuff. 
 

Now CC on my phone is working just fine this morning. I don’t know what was going on last night.

The Widow Jane is the 13 yr “Lucky Thirteen”  😀

App still not working for me either.  Won’t load.  Just a white a screen.  
 

On a different note.  The most recent acquisitions:

I am impressed. I don't think that I'm a dumb person but I am pretty clueless to how you do this.😐

I’m with you.  I need to dig deeper into the casino world.  Free cruises 🤩

Real apple pie should not have raisins. 

That’s how I interpret “real” as well.

what was the raisin situation here?  yay or nay?  

Just catching up.  Looks like you are having a great time and getting acclimated.  Score on the coffee situation!!  

Cheers 🍻 

The goodest boy … never too far when there’s smells of smoking meat in the air.

I agree.  I think it is better than any other sports playoff.   Too bad our Pens are not in the mix

Agree 2X  … Sorry in advance to any Caps fans but as a lifelong Pens fan I love when the Caps lose.  I’m sure the feeling is mutual 😂

Yes 4 posters in this thread have that color with some really beautiful furniture. Turned out my painter just painted the walls that color, ceiling white. For such a big price I assumed he was painting everything, but I'm not so sure what it needed, havent been there yet. Brownish grey, it goes with everything. Lol it's very agreeable. 

 

Thx 🙏🏻  Yes It sounds quite agreeable to me!  It’s already in the short list.

The trending color is Agreeable Gray from Sherwin Williams. 

Thank you - I could not remember!!

There is a data center opening every 3 days, needs the power of 80 homes to run. Blame A1 gearing up.

Sorry, off topic but…Was it you that talked about paint colors and a specific shade of gray that was color of the year or something to that effect?  DW is talking about re painting some rooms & a gray is in the conversation.  I cannot find that page in here for the life of me!

I hope you are bringing them luck for a win.  They are in the driver’s seat for a playoff spot.  All they have to do is win their final 3, but all three are good teams. 

🤞🏻 Hope we can sneak in the playoffs.  Playoff hockey is awesome.  Those 3 wins won’t come easy though.  Not too long ago I was thinking they had no shot so pleasantly surprised now.

Spending the afternoon at the ball park. Thank goodness the Jays play in a dome. The high today is 45F.  First pitch is at 3:07. 
 

I was wishing we had a dome for our home opener.  Snow squalls and baseball just don’t go together.  We’re headed to the Pens game later.  Bruins are always tough.

This was our first VV cruise and we liked it for the most part. If the price is much cheaper than Royal we would go back. More thoughts on this later. 

 

 

 

This status is only good until the end of this year and they are no longer status matching unless they change it again. I know the were revamping their loyalty program, but not sure if it has come out yet or not.

 

 

They did release the new loyalty program recently.  I haven’t looked at it that closely yet bc I also status matched in 2023 and have DBE through the end of 2024.  There’s 3 levels now.  Status match is now only to the new (middle) level - Blue instead of DBE. 😤
