I am no expert in the 401K field but basically Yes, It’s a retirement savings plan through your employer with tax benefits. Often times employers will match a certain percentage of what you contribute and/or add a lump sum as an employer benefit too. It’s not shielded from the stock market fluctuations unless you specifically choose very conservative investments.

Your packing looks a lot like ours😀

That’s awesome! nice winnings!

They are good looking dogs. My older male dog (Oliver) is going to be 12 this september. He is a lab/redbone coonhound mix. He barks at anything on TV that resembles an animal.. dogs, squirrels, lions, bears, moose .. anything! Emma is the total opposite. Female 7 yr old purebred English Setter. Could not care less.

Sorry to hear about the breach making a new ID necessary. I was lucky enough to visit Australia when I was around 15 years old as part of USA baseball. We visited Adelaide and played against Australian colleges in the area. I will never forget what a beautiful place it was. Visited a kangaroo park, held a Koala and did some beach/sightseeing while we were there. Very very long flight but well worth it.

I thought maybe if I called and was the squeaky wheel they might move a little faster. hahah 😂😂 Well I tried 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sounds like I’ve got a few more months to wait.

Made follow up call #2 to C&A his afternoon to see if there were any updates on the crystal block we should have received on EX in January. It is still “in progress” and will ship as soon they have back in stock. I won’t hold my breath.

I had a couple Turkeys pecking at themselves in my chrome truck bumper last year. Caught them in the Ring floodlight camera.

Glad to hear this.. We will be on Radiance in June to Alaska. First time for Radiance but we’ve been on Jewel & liked Jewel a lot.

Visited National Aviary this afternoon. Thought I’d share some pics. Got to feed the Lorikeets. (first pic) They really love that nectar! They fly right down & grab onto a finger to eat right out of your hand.

Hope you’re loving Anthem. Only sailed her once but I really liked that ship.

Back to normal at my house. Winds have died down. Unfortunately my brother who is only 25-30 min north still doesn’t have power. Funny thing is my parents are 5 min from him and they had power back by 6pm yesterday. At least they can go there with the kids and hang out. My Uncle who is also near me had a 30 ft Cherry tree blown over. Luckily it wasn’t near the house and I’ll help clean up & get some free firewood for next year. Glass half full 😀

Definitely a mess! I know a guy who works for the power company - unfortunately fixing that mess was his responsibility. Long day for him and many others in that line of work.

It’s pretty crazy over in the Pittsburgh area too. My brothers and parents a bit north of me all lost power for several hours earlier. I was out at my sportmen’s club with my nephew target shooting this afternoon. There is an electric gate to get in and out. We went to leave and guess what… gate not working - power is out. We were the only ones there. OH Crap. Ended up calling the club President and found a manual release to open the gate after it was apparent the power was not coming back on anytime soon. Once we got out it was very clear - there were massive pine trees uprooted all over . Huge metal carports upside down. I live about 30 minutes west of there and no power lost so far but wind is trying real hard to blown down my pear tree.

Pottsville PA!

Hearing things like this restore my faith in humanity.

Agree… Those suite prices were eye popping. I would love to experience the suite area on Wonder too. Looks pretty awesome. We will be doing an OVB for the first time but like you said I am keeping an eye on the suite prices too.

Oh my - I’m really hoping I don’t have that experience.

Dishwasher is on last leg I think. Went and ordered a new one after work today. 💸💸 There goes 1/2 a cruise! Is it normal to quantify big ticket purchases in #’s of cruises that purchase could have been??

About the same here. I’m always happy to be home and see the dogs then a week of work happens and I’m ready cruise again.

You’ll be 🍍 before you know it!

Yay! what an amazing story and outcome. So happy you found him and all is well. 😀

DW and I both got what I assume was covid after Explorer back in January. Didn’t bother to test since we worked from home and isolated. The brunt of it was over in a week but I didn’t feel right for a solid month at least, maybe more.

Sounds like some deck 6 vs deck 8 drinking games to me oh boy 🍻 😂😂😂😂

Sooo Looking forward to it! Only 683 days to go. 😳 Let the countdown begin.
