Through Medicare into the mix and I’m in trouble. I am currently in the sign up period, with impending retirement at the end of the month. I am reminded of the great RR words. There is nothing more terrifying than hearing … “ I am from the government and I am here to help you. What a clown show. It is clearly a system set up to make sure you know that no matter how successful you have been in life they are here to make sure you don’t think you are special. You are mine now! That is my feeling about the experience…. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 11, 2023 #110480 Share Posted December 11, 2023 When you cruise to the Far North Queensland, to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, one of the ports listed is Willis Island. It’s a remote weather station about 50km off Cairns. You don’t stop there but you slowly Cruise past & a crew member will chat with one of the four scientists who permanently live on the island. Yesterday, those four scientists were evacuated by helicopter as Cyclone Jasper is bearing down on the area. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 12/9/2023 at 5:21 PM, Coralc said: Diaper. No port-a-potties in the pen. A she-wee is a device that allows someone with female private parts to go "number one" while standing up like a guy. There are a few different designs/brands, but the basic premise is the same -- an "extender" that gets inserted through the fly of your pants. It is NOT a diaper, just gives gals a way to "spell their name in the snow" like guys can. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at least 13 or 14 and remember it clearly. My other brother and I never caught it. 3 years ago, after a friend went through hell with shingles, I asked my primary about getting Shingrex. He tested Dick and me and we both had the virus in our systems. Neither of us has any recollection of having chickenpox. That's why my doc insisted on testing me.... he figured I had it when I was too young to remember having it, because it was VERY rare for someone born before 1990 to not have gotten chicken pox in childhood. It's an EXTREMELY contagious disease that spreads like a wildfire in California. He was shocked that I was correct and had never been exposed to the virus! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel pressured to post on any frequency or with any specific content. If you feel like it's too much after a few days, just stop. Do what works for you. It's your vacation. From personal experience, live reviews can definitely take a fair amount of time, especially if you want the content to be well edited/polished. It's sometimes easier just to treat it like a journal where you dump thoughts from your brain into words, with accompanying pictures as you see fit. No matter what you do, someone will complain, but many more people will recognize that you're on vacation and appreciate your efforts. That's why I loved doing the co-author thing with @Ozark_Kid... I didn't feel obligated to post something regularly, because I knew he'd be posting as well. I don't think I'd enjoy doing a Live Thread all on my own, especially with how slow the internet can be once in a while on board! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted December 11, 2023 #110487 Share Posted December 11, 2023 It has been raining here since noon yesterday and is supposed to stop around 10 AM. If this had been snow I don't think anyone would be going anywhere today. We didn't get the strong wind but I here people lost power further upstate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked up our tree. We bought a 7.5' Douglas fir for $70. Eric bought a Tree Genie stand on a black friday sale. It worked great! Made the job of setting up the tree so much easier than a traditional tree stand. Eric will hang tree lights today. He likes to give the tree a day to settle in or as I call it watch football. 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted December 11, 2023 #110490 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Check your Amazon accounts. People on my next door neighbor app are posting to check shipping addresses on their Amazon accounts. A lot of people are noticing strange / unknown addresses being added to their accounts. Checked ours last night and nothing added but will definitely keep an eye on it. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the places we discover via posts on Dani’s thread. Hope you enjoyed the tour. That and the surrounding 300 + acres belonged to Mr Stetson (the hat guy). Has a new owner now and the mansion is decorated and open for Christmas tours. I really enjoyed it. Was not allowed to take pictures inside.

Jimbo Posted December 11, 2023 #110494 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) First snow of this Winter last Night. Just a dusting. 31 degrees presently. You can see the higher up the mountain where the temperature is colder the snow and ice is still clinging to the tops of the trees. Even prettier in person.

Hope Jim's doctor appointment goes well. Hope the weather cooperates for you. I saw your post about heading to Florida on the 27th. Do you go for the whole winter season? If so what part of Florida to stay? We are thinking of eventually getting a place down there when Doug retires (hopefully next year) and am starting to look into some Florida locations.
