firefly333 Posted August 17 #127776 Share Posted August 17 Another day where the water sparkles and dances in the sun. This time I stood back and took this from my living room, ... better. But my tablet doesnt do it justice. I can actually see cruise ships from here I can hardly see in my camera shots. Caught a fishing boat going by so didnt take the time, just snapped it fast when it was visible between windows. Big birds also fly by, cant make out yet what they are they fly by so fast. You can see lower right the water sparkling here.. depending where i stand all the water sparkles today in the sun... standing in my living room so taken thru those sliders plus the windows. My camera lacking. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted August 17 #127778 Share Posted August 17 To all the cat people…I remember one cat…probably Amelia the Beautiful, who violently objected to being incarcerated in the cat carrier…she was the one I bought the Kevlar gauntlets to handle. It was quite an ordeal getting her in…and the violent behavior continued at the vet’s. Such yowling and hissing and growling! I remember saying I wasn’t looking forward to the ordeal of corralling her back in the carrier…and the vet said “Oh, I don’t think that will be a problem.” He opened the door and she DOVE right in!! Obviously she knew where that trip was going. 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted August 17 #127779 Share Posted August 17 Staying in, today. High temp 105 with a "feel like" temp of 108. Humidity 49%, no rain in sight. Such is TX summer weather. Stay cool, my TX friends! @dani negreanu Dani, oh how I remember those Israeli summers! Try and stay cool, too.

Rare Lionesss Posted August 17 #127782 Share Posted August 17 Currently in Canton Ohio at the Football Hall of Fame as guest of Bowling Green State University as we watch and celebrate the football teams last scrimmage before the season begins. Of course would not be here had it not been for our son in law being one of the coaches. Met up with daughter and granddaughter. Zoey was not in the mood to meet Freddie and Freida the mascots as she hung onto Christina for dear life. GO FALCONS!! TALONS UP. 14 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC has been trying to push all of the City workers into this plan, and we've been fighting this for the past 3 years. So far, we've been succeeding. 🤞 My sister-in-law and late BIL were employees of NYC Dept.of Social Service as were Toby and I early in our lives. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you have a problem and want to go to Boston because you feel you will get the best care there. Your Advantage plan might say no, you have to go to Providence because those doctors are part of their network. Oh well, too bad for you. Now I'm worried. When Eric became eligible for medicare this past March he selected a Medicare Advantage PPO plan thru Aetna to cover part C & D. To date, he has had no issues with any of his specialty meds and all his doctors (transplant, primary and eye doc) have been part of their network and co-pays have been the same or less than what he paid when he with BCBS thru employer plan. There was one medication that Aetna rejected when we went to refill in April but then his doctor stepped in advising Aetna that he is a transplant recipient and it has been covered at a cost of $0.10 for a 90-day supply since April. Fingers crossed we don't run into any future problems with the advantage plan. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We once had a cat that would take money from my wife’s purse and place it in my shoes , as kittens they both could fit in my size 15 eee shoes. When Eva was younger she used to take items off my bedroom bureau or bathroom vanity (such as rings, earrings - basically anything shiny) and put in my shoes. At least I knew where to look when something was missing. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from OV guarantee (still no cabin ) to obstructive Balcony . Looks OK on the deck plans though so fingers crossed it's a good upgrade . It's been a busy week. We've had grandparent duties three days this week plus I've had two funerals to attend. Yesterdays funeral was particularly sad. My old colleague from 35 years ago. He was the baby of our ticket desk at the airport and sadly died way too early at 57. Such a fun positive person 💔 Sorry for your loss Sue. May he RIP 🙏 Congratulation on your upgrade. From what I recall on Serenade the obstructed balconies are only a partial obstruction. I don't think there are any bad balcony cabins. The Canaries and Madeira sailings are on my must do list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of you last night as I couldn't remember if your Bermuda was coming up soon. At least Ernesto dropped down to a Cat 1 Hurricane. I have been to Bermuda right before and right after a Hurricane and they usually fare pretty well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Debbie for your condolences 🙏 The cruise is actually Anthem on deck 6 so is defo obstructive but according to deck plans I don't think it's too bad and looks like it's got a slightly bigger balcony It's our first Canaries cruise so not quite sure what we're going to do in Tenerife and Las Palmas, any idea Graham? @grapau27 In Madeira, some friends are on a weeks holiday then, so we will meet them in port.

Other ports we have something booked Hi Sue. In Tenerife Santa cruz port has a good selection of shops in the centre which is 1 long street. We always take a tour to Puerto de la Cruz which is about 25 minutes away from the port. In Las Palmas Gran Canaria there is a shopping centre next to the port gates. There are some nice beaches too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other ports we have something booked We love Deck 6 on Anthem. Great location to use the steps to deck 4 or 5 for royal esplanade and MDR. Most of the obstructed OVB's we have had on Anthem were considered obstructed because you could not look straight down to the ocean but had full view when looking forward. You should be able to google your cabin number for photos to find out what type of obstruction to expect. If your cabin is aft and you walk to the end of the aft hallway there is a secret door to the 270 theater, library and computer room. Great way to get the 270 cafe too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenerife -- we went to the zoo (I'm a big fan of penguins...) with a RC excursion, it was very convenient. Las Palmas -- just wandered about the beach front and had a nice ice cream. Lanzarote -- again, took a ship excursion to Timanfaya National Park (rocky landscape) and Madeira -- we had a private excursion, as well as Lisbon. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
