It would have scared me silly. The escort carrying a leash couldn’t have saved me if I fell. I’d have taken him with me!

Many of the people sitting in cardboard boxes on Fifth Avenue are paid to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I watched the water fly past the glass less windows and thought it was like a submarine diving, I don’t think I took a breath. A friend of ours broke a leg going from the tender to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't going to let you do something that will kill you is not reassuring. That is literally what my wife and I say each time these scenes happen. She may say it or I might say it. If you have watched the show for the last bazillion seasons, you know that this is the case. I am guessing they watch it just like we do, so… I would think, thank you for the reminder honey. I was all caught up in the moment in panic. I do agree when the husband said OMG… for the second time after she said it about 5 times, that was not helpful. I do wonder why some of these teams sign up…. They must know they won’t be able to do half of the stuff, so what is the point? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must know they won’t be able to do half of the stuff, so what is the point? I'm sad to admit we haven't watched this season yet. All on DVR. I met Phil Keoghan at Dulles back in 2004. They were filming a show called No Opportunity Wasted. They were surprising someone at airport while I was waiting for my bags. At first I thought it was a news crew ambushing someone for a story. I ended up being an extra applauding. Even signed an image release. I ended up with about 2 seconds of airtime. No SAG membership for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend from 3rd grade and I never lost touch. We call each other quite a few times a year. 3 hours ago, Arzeena said: Us too. I have no idea what I was quoting. 🤣 2 hours ago, Arzeena said: Today was the final port for this cruise. Cozumel. Woke up yo warm and humid temperatures. We were docked very early and Captain Per announced the all clear to go off the ship. We were toying with going to Iberostar or the Del Mar Latina or Chankanab or hang around San Miguel. We have been to all these places before, so we took a taxi and told the guy to choose for us. He took us to Paradise Beach which we have also been to three times before and enjoyed it a lot. We chose to go with the AI option. Poolside cabanas were included. So we picked one far out in a calm section. We decided to use the pool earlier which was a good idea because later on it was not distanced enough for my liking. The beach is also very nice and had less people. Drinks were ok. Food was ridiculously priced. Like cajun shrimp, an entree, was 2 medium shrimp and a tiny timbale of rice and about 6 fries. Service got slow as the place started to fill up. Still one can see that it was not as filled as before. We stayed till 3 and took a cab back to port. I discovered that the best guacamole and salsa were at this little place inside the port called Cafe Mandy. Next time I am having lunch there!!!! We were at International pier with another ship dwarfed by the Odyssey. Two Carnival ships, the Vista and the Dream were docked at Porta Maya. The port area was pretty much empty. Stores were open but hardly any customers. Tonight is Indian night at the buffet. I went to take a look and we will be having dinner there. Now I am not going to complain about the scanty food at Paradise. Will say if any one goes there, go early so you can scout out your spot. Will report later about Indian night. Right now I want to do some walking to burn calories and then find the elastic waisted capris! Chow for now. I forgot you were also on a cruise. Sounds like you had a great time! Safe journeys to all heading home. 1 hour ago, jagsfan said: I, too, was being humorous! And maybe they were.

I once was on Lexington Ave., in Manhattan and saw a peddler with handbags, belts laid out neatly on the ground with a cardboard sign prominently displayed; "BLOOMINGDALE'S OUTDOOR OUTLET". Very creative marketing. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's said he set to be snowed in and asked what I was going to drink...haha Haven’t really done the milk, bread, and eggs thing yet either. At least the snow looks like it will be east of us, so Friday’s plans are set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple large cabinets filled with various liquors and about a hundred bottles of various wines , some of my friends keep several hundreds bottles of stuff way beyond my price point . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift changes is when things happen. Two sets of eyes is better than one. My youngesr son was a trained lifeguard through his senior school and university years. Saved a few young children in the water park near us. A few years ago he was in Kenya at a beach club and just walking past the pool he saw a young girl in the bottom of the pool, dived in and brought her up. She was taken to hospital and survived. Sometimes in bright sunshine its difficult to spot people in trouble 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the separation anxiety is minor and short lived and you have a lovely outing with your grandson. I am sure he will be distracted by all the noise and movement and the many coloured balls. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
