That is a disappointing situation. That's weird. Absolutely no reason to divert. Is it a one off, or all the Holy Land cruises are now diverted? You must be so excited. Are you really meeting up with the captain on Beyond ? You are par excellence an extraordinary planner and organizer . Thank you, Judy. I'm excited, mingled, of course, with worry about the Covid test. I’m corresponding with the captain on Whatsapp, but not expecting any meeting, though I, of course, will be more than happy to. It's up to her, and she is somewhat "all over the place…." I'm looking for something which represents Israel as a symbolic gift for her, usually I bring a small olive wood cross, but with the Christian tourism down for the last 2 years, many shops which catered for those tourists are closed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is about a school that I went to with Kenny Vance.Somebody told me today that it was a big hit in the UK. Nice folk Doo wop song Lenny. It never made the UK singles charts. I was into soul and disco music in 1975. Graham. Edited May 25, 2022 by grapau27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I wrote recently, there have been wonderful things as well as heartbreaking things that people have shared here. So many kind people have cheered the wonderful and have offered support to the heartbreaking. This thread allows people to commiserate, empathize ,uplift and encourage. We need more of this in the world. Maybe by reading this thread and participating by posting, we could take the feeling of kindness and friendliness evidenced here into our worlds outside of this CC forum and make.our small worlds better places to be. By doing this, perhaps kindness and friendliness would grow exponentially. This may be unrealistic ,but it is worth a try. Through this thread, I have “met” people from Israel, Florida,Texas, Colorado, Ohio,Missouri,Arkansas,Rhode Island, Pennsylvania ,New Jersey and from different areas of my home state, New York. Before Dani started this thread, I would not have “known” such people. And the one thing about all of us conversing here is that we share more likenesses than differences. We love our families and friends, we enjoy beautiful photos of nature, we enjoy our children and grandchildren,we enjoy sharing time with loved ones,we enjoy traveling,or at least reading about other’s travels,we enjoy beloved pets,we enjoy life. We do not like sickness,loss of loved ones, storm damage to property or suffering of any kind. A thread like this makes one realize that people are good and wish good for others. You have such a great way with words, MJ! Thank you for saying what we all feel.🌹 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, this thread moves quickly in that different topics are posted by so many people. As to changing the title of the thread, I do not see a reason to change. It seems that the suggestion to change the title came from some posters who do not contribute often to the conversation here. Now, I admit that I am not a frequent poster,but I have been following this thread from the beginning and have become familiar with so many here. Whenever I read Dani’s thread, I feel that I am catching up,with life happenings of neighbors.

We do not like sickness,loss of loved ones, storm damage to property or suffering of any kind. A thread like this makes one realize that people are good and wish good for others. it was suggested to change the title of the thread since we are no longer in lockdown. But, in a way,I think that we are in lockdown. Situations,such as what happened today in Texas have caused us to be cautious and concerned for our welfare and the welfare of the people we care about in our lives. Covid has caused us to be cautious and concerned about our health and the health of the people we care about in our lives. For some,it has curtailed travel and getting together with friends and family. As I see it, the world is not the same world as it was twenty,thirty,forty years ago. People are isolated in their own lives, their own lockdowns.Without being able to reach out to,others, the world becomes even more difficult. Thank you to Dani for starting this thread. I hope it continues on CC for a long time. I apologize if I have written a rambling post. I felt I needed to respond to the idea of changing the title. I wish all posting here a good night and a pleasant tomorrow. MJ🙋🏻 Well said. Thankful you took the time to share your thoughts. It's crazy how most of us have not met in person but yet we are growing closer to each other every day. Thanks 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t it be great? @Sunshine3601could make up a big batch of her Mojitos; I think @DaniDanielle would be on Cosmos; @Sea Dogcould whip up his famous Old Fashioned’s or his new Espresso martini’s and not to forget @John&LaLa with their Limoncello. We’d all be “ship faced”😉! Hhmm how to decide, maybe one of each 😜 hiccup. Thanks for including me in this wondrous thread, I don't care what it is called as long as it stays, so enjoy "catching up" with everyone here. Must just be some newbies to CC who see the title and have to put their 2 cents in, we just need to ignore them all and hopefully they go away. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
