Disregard - I just saw your other post. I'm playing catch up as I have had a busy Monday at work. Just finally taking a break to eat lunch (diner) liner - whatever is but boy was I hungry and getting a headache from too much caffeine today. Yeah, not so much caffeine (I only drink one cup coffee a day at the most) but if I ever have to go without breakfast (my most important meal 😉 )...I get an awful headache. Could be another reason you got the headache...tummy saying "feeed mee!!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dani negreanu Posted September 14, 2021 Author #29880 Share Posted September 14, 2021 We're invited to 3 weddings in the next month - today (good friends), Sunday (our DIL's sister) and mid-October (next door neighbors). Can't say we're not a bit wary being among so many people. You're supposed to be either vaccinated, after COVID or to show a negative PCR.... The venue management has to check. We haven't been to a wedding for the last 5 years.... Weddings and cruises are the only places were I can dance. I absolutely like dancing. Not sure about dancing at those weddings, though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your Wife are in our prayers for a successful surgery Friday🥰 Wivenhoe was the name of a character on a TV show that we watched. We liked the name.In 1985 we went to an animal adoption center to look for a kitten that we planned to name Samantha.We saw a beautiful kitten and on the cage was written Punky.We adopted her and felt that we should not change her name .She lived with us 19 years and was the most lovable cat imaginable. Thanks for your wishes re my wife. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cell really only rings when it’s someone on my contact list. At least a dozen times a day I get a banner from my carrier saying potential spam or potential junk call silenced. So far, when I look at them, they are mostly spoofs, showing local caller id, and originating elsewhere. Voucemails are transcribed, and inevitably they’re selling car warranties or notifying me our computer is being wiped out or the federal government is after me. So nice not to have to answer the cell and get that garbage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted September 14, 2021 #29885 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) @lenquixote66 You are definetely an ANGEL in disguise. Thank God you were there to help your wive's coworker in her time of need. I believe in good Karma. I do not seek revenge in any way or form to anyone by wishing them bad Karma. You and your wife deserve great things. And as the time for her surgery is rescheduled I will light a candle at our churches Blessed Mother Mary statue. She has helped me in the past by lets just say I believe in miracles, and a little help from above never hurt anyone. Keep us posted. Take care, be safe, stay calm All my caring concern. Sue Addendum: I see the surgery is this Friday. Got the Mrs. Covered. Prayers for the quickest safest healing.

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted September 14, 2021 #29886 Share Posted September 14, 2021 @Sea Dog So you understand how hard it is to buy something, over researching and over analyzing. Well I finally pulled the trigger and just received my new camera. I have a lot to learn about it before the October 2 cruise. I am hoping to get some good photos and maybe video to share with our CC family here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for a new way to me to use up my garlic. We put the cloves in foil with a little butter, cover it and bake till it's a brownish color. It's like eating candy to me. I love it, but I don’t make it very often. 4 hours ago, bobmacliberty said: Thanks so much for posting these. Your pictures are fantastic! We board her in 5 days. It's so great feeling that cruise excitement again. Thanks, enjoy your cruise. After the test cruise I couldn't wait for our October Odyssey cruise so we are doing a b2b on the Freedom right now. They are only doing 3 and 4 night cruises and a 3 or 4 is just to short. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted September 14, 2021 #29890 Share Posted September 14, 2021 2 hours ago, Paul from Maryland said: I put Wet & Forget on my roof once a year, every other year at the most. Easy to use, just spray it on let the rain wash it off. It stops the black algae stains from gaining hold. Roof looks so much better without those black algae stains. On the back side of the roof, which gets less sun, it also stops moss from growing. Our deck is on the back side, so this year after pressure washing the deck I also sprayed it with Wet & Forget. We went to ACE hardware to pick up our gallon of Wet & Forget yesterday. Totally depressing to see all the black mold on the the pavers in our screened court yard when we got home. All summer of neglect with us being gone. The mold demons took over. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...I don't rush to pick up my cell phone that is ringing at all. If it is near me, I will glance over to see the incoming number. I am pretty much a "let it go to voice mail...call you later"...kind of lazy gal. Happily same thing...my phone scans the call and will let me know if scam call or telemarketer. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew our government could move so fast? We'll need to drive a few hours to Sanford, or maybe Palm Beach for our interview, but there are dates available throughout October/November. We'll schedule the interviews as part of a long weekend trip somewhere. There is an office right before the gate to PE you could also go to if you could get an appt before or after your Allure cruise. 3 hours ago, sgmn said: Beautiful photos and cute couple. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spammer sends a text to about 20 numbers from usually a gmail account. I haven’t seen any way to block it. I haven’t received one for a couple weeks now but a couple months ago several people around here were getting them. Maybe AT&T or gmail is getting it under control. I do recall receiving a couple of them maybe last spring or late winter but haven't in a while. After Eric's Identity was stolen last March we are on high security alert for everything and anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has been to four weddings this summer and has another one to attend next month. Some were cancelled from last year to keep all safe and all chose outdoor venues. Three of four went without a hitch, all attending were to be vaccinated, no issues reported after. Unfortunately, the last one he attended was not so lucky. The bride ended up feeling sick a few days after the ceremony and tested positive. Twenty people that attended the wedding ended up positive, all had been vaccinated. The wedding was a distance away so all had rented houses or had gotten hotels. My son had stayed in a house with a total of six people. One in the house tested positive but my son and the other four were all negative. I felt so bad for the bride and groom as they took all the steps they could to try to keep everyone safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story goes that if the ravens were to ever leave the tower it would fall Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos. Reminds us of the wonderful trip of London we had in fall 2018. Hope to get back some day soon as there is so much more we want to see and do. The wedding photos are amazing. So happy that special day was able to take place with family and friends all present🥰 I read online there are currently 7 ravens (6 by Royal Decree). Jan 2021 Merlina went missing for a couple of weeks and is presumed dead she was known as the "Queen". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
