StanleyandGus Posted August 26, 2021 #27702 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I was going through some old photos- this was taken in November of 2019, just before a cruise. I was assembling things we didn’t want to forget. It was a transatlantic on the Rhapsody of the Sea to Tampa. Sigh! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave has a Jewel one just like that. He bought some shorts at Costco he really likes. They are a quick dry material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Google Map, US Coast Guard has a station right inside the bay, so I guess they are stationed there. Check out this video of them trying to go in during less than perfect sea conditions If it’s not bad enough to go in on your own, try towing someone in. You get to see it from the boat’s perspective on what it looks like – better be ready for that turn to the left (port) side This ship is not as fortunate Or this Kayaker being rescued Tsunami damage from 10 years ago How very interesting, Harry, thank you for sharing. Our oldest daughter's husband is a graduate of the Coast Guard Academy...Jen and Tom were married in the chapel at the Academy...beautiful! Tom and his Wedding Party were all in uniform. When the married couple emerged from the Church, they walked under all of the raised swords. Gives me chills just reminiscing about it. Tom was an Officer (and a gentleman..truly!)and finally retired after 20 years. 8 hours ago, dani negreanu said: 20 months for girls, 36 for boys. Assuming you don't go to officer's or special training. Then you have to extend your service, but you receive a nice salary for the additional period. For example, DS1 became an officer, and had to sign an additional year (beyond the 3 years compulsory), for which he was paid a salary. Age is 18, but it varies depending on the education you have and the service you're supposed to do. I'm born in March, but my service date was October. For example, girls with a high school diploma are due to enter service either in July, October or November. That's it. If you want to call it winter.... Nov-Dec through March. Just rains in a good year. Snow -- very rare and mostly in the few mountains we have. Jerusalem gets snow once in a few years. It rarely stays on the ground. Where I live, the last snow we had was 1951... I'm OK with that -- hate cold. Thank you, Dani. I know so little about Israel. I appreciate your enlightening me about your Service. I guess you just need a good raincoat/umbrella in the Winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted August 26, 2021 #27713 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I GIVE UP!!! One minute I can hit the react button. It works; it doesn't work. I multi-quote one minute, then I can't the next time. I can quote one minute, can't the next minute. I keep getting out of CC, then go on to quote, or react, or whatever, then I again have to get out of CC and go on again. This is driving me crazy!!!!! not in a good way🤪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone here on CC first pointed it out to me. I don't know what I find it so fascinating. I like it due to the “surprise” of what boat will be successful VS not. I also like watching the boats, and occasionally the occupants on them. 😉 1 hour ago, Ocean Boy said: Well, since today seems to be cat show and tell day, this is Lila.

I do a much better job than some of my neighbors that do have a yard service and our yard looks a lot better also. No HOA for our subdivision. To be honest, I actually enjoy it, and I work cheap. I do all the edging, trimming, mowing, watering (automatic sprinkler system), fertilizing and pest control. Great way to keep the tan going and to escape reality (temporarily) . My wife does all the planting and upkeep of flowers. Enjoying a cold Budweiser as I type this. Wine later for HH.

lenquixote66 Posted August 26, 2021 #27721 Share Posted August 26, 2021 My 17 year old granddaughter is an honor student who will begin her Senior year in HS next week.Today,she and other Senior honor students conducted a Freshman Orientation at the school. When I was in the 9th.grade at the junior high I attended students were taken by Seniors at the local HS to the school for Orientation.We were in groups of 15 .The student who took me and 14 others was Barbara L.She gave each of us her phone number and said that we can call her if we had any questions.In 1999 when I bought my first PC I found out that my HS had a chat room.I entered the room and Barbara L was posting.I posted to her ,identified myself and asked her what she did after she completed her schooling.We exchanged e-mail addresses and I found out that she was a US Senator from California. Perhaps one day my granddaughter will be famous.😀 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
