Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" 😁 day in lockdown... how was yours?)

SECdawg · April 14

I never post here, but have to add my prayers for you and your country. I cannot imagine what you are going through and pray that there will be a peaceful end.

Dani, I hate seeing you have to go through this. You are so special to all of us. We will continue our prayers for you, your DH and others around you. I know you will stay strong.

I'm holding special positive thoughts of safety for Dani, Jack's sister and their families living in harm's way.

I'm seeing it building up too! We will be praying for Jack's sister and their families.

One more electric vehicle post?

At the NY Auto Show, Dodge* was showing off their not-yet-released 2025 full-sized, electric RAM pickup truck. with an almost 700 mile range (better than most diesel trucks), that can haul 14,000 pounds (that more than most other pickups) and go from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds (faster than most exotic sports cars).

The secret to this magic is a V6 gas engine that powers a generator that charges the batteries that provide power to the electric motor. . You can plug it in at night or take it to a charging station and when the batteries run dry, the gas engine will charge the battery.

Technically, it's not a hybrid as the gas engine is not connected to the transmission/drive train so it doesn't drive the car, just recharges the batteries. But with a 700 mile range, that should satisfy the most ardent back country, off-road adventurers.

It's the best of both worlds. How real world production models perform is yet to be seen & I'm sure it will be outrageously expensive when it first comes out but with time, price may drop??? And of course, it will suffer the usual first year teething problems but it seems like a step in the right direction.

* Officially, RAM is it's own brand, no longer under Dodge. But they will always be Dodge to me.

Sending prayers from Australia that Dani, Jack’s sister and their families and all those they hold dear stay safe.

From Canada too. So sorry this is happening.

We have several friends and relatives in Israel one of whom is a leader of the IDF.It is very scary.

Right now our world is a very sad place.
I read what happened in Sydney.
There is a tremendous amount of anger everywhere, but you just don’t expect the fear for your life in a mall or grocery store.
I was a child during WWII.
We actually thought peace would be permanent after that.
now it’s not only war, but people so filled with anger they feel compelled to strike out.
I give thanks for the brave police officer who stopped the murderer.
I pray the injured recover, especially the baby whose mother died.
I pray for the souls of the victims, and for the people of Sydney and of the whole country that this doesn’t happen to you again.
Somehow, good has to prevail over evil.

I still see many posts to Dani on here. I never noticed what page # we were on but yesterday I remember the same posts were on two consecutive pages. I never mentioned anything, thinking it's just a glitch that will work itself out. Weird.

You're right, Bonnie. Our posts to Dani are still there.

How are you and Jack doing?

@Ourusualbeach Ken, should "something" happens to us, pls. cancel our cruises and my reservation at HI Express Cape Canaveral

I big thank you to Mr. President Biden for standing by us. He's a real "mensch".

It's after midnight and all around us people are awake. We're glued to the TV, if the air raid is sound, we're 2 seconds from our in house shelter. Hope it'll help....

Dani, we are praying for you, your family, and your country.

Jack is worried but he has an amazing positive attitude. His sister is the same way. We're fine, really. Thanks everyone for your kind words for Jack's family in Israel. And of course, for Dani and family.

We lived in Israel for 11 months when we were first married but times then were very different, relatively peaceful.

This is going to be the big test. Lab tests and then how things work in the real world are too often significantly different. Ford's Electric vehicle has been very poorly received. It looks great and runs great but when you put it to work that's when it fails. When you start to haul the range decreases so significantly that the truck is useless. A truck really isn't a truck if you can't load the bed or pull a decent sized trailer.

It'll be interesting to read the reviews on some of the truck websites I visit once vehicle hits the streets.

I hate to continue this topic, but the good news is that the majority of drones were shot down, no deaths or injuries so far reported. Yes!

I'll try to limit further posts about "the situation".

Please honor us by posting as you are led. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I just turned on the news & saw video of the Iron Dome at work. Impressive.

Good news is always welcomed.

Dear @BonTexasNY Bonnie and @dani negreanu Dani,

No deaths or injuries is certainly Good News and your (Jack’s) family and Dani’s family and friends will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
Please don’t feel that you need to limit your posts. We’re all here for you.

Take care,

Sue 🙏 (((❤️))) 🕊

Thank you @jagsfan

@BonTexasNY Your post with good news is appreciated.

Today was a beautiful day at Palm Beach. We did a tour of the Barrenjoey Lighthouse.

aussielozzie18 · April 14

The stairs to the top were easy and the 360 degree views were stunning on this gorgeous day.

aussielozzie18 · April 14

If anyone has been to Palm Beach/Pittwater, this is the newly opened Joeys which was formerly The Boathouse.

aussielozzie18 · April 14

Palm Beach was beautiful and the water temp was amazing.
