Rare Sea Dog Posted September 15, 2021 #30102 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) So far as books are concerned. I see some great titles that everyone is reading. I'm weird in that I don't read hardly any fiction. Most of the books I read are either manuals on equipment or how to do something. This cruise I will take one book to read. It's one that was recommended to me by a dear friend who also retired. He said it was the best book he ever read on retirement. https://www.amazon.com/How-Retire-Happy-Wild-Free/dp/B0074Y7JD6/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Retirement+books&qid=1631739141&sr=8-7 Edited September 15, 2021 by Sea Dog 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted the tumbler. bar guy said it has to come with a drink. I have used it many times. It also serves a good ice bucket to cart ice from the machine to the room. And it is much bigger in real life than the picture...or is this the newer size now? Not sure if it’s the newer size, but it seemed to hold about 2 drinks worth, or at least 1.5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thick black longish hair, mustache. Looked like he was either growing a beard or just was too lazy to shave. And to think how much time and care we took getting ready for dinner. 39 minutes ago, Sea Dog said: Hairy arm and back guys have no business wearing a tank top. Get out the sheep shears. Oh yes, his tank was cut low in back also. I practically gagged eating. We should have just gotten up and left as soon as we sat down or even before we sat down. I think it was the only time we passed on dessert. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani negreanu Posted September 15, 2021 Author #30107 Share Posted September 15, 2021 4 hours ago, Tree_skier said: Beautiful wedding pictures @dani negreanu. What is a chuppah? A chuppah is a canopy under which a Jewish couple stand during their wedding ceremony. It consists of a cloth or sheet, stretched or supported over four poles, or sometimes manually held up by attendants to the ceremony. A chuppah symbolizes the home that the couple will build together. "Sometimes manually held up by attendants to the ceremony" -- it is a great honor to hold one of the poles. In this case, the sisters and brothers of the bride and groom. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their suitcases never made it onboard😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted September 15, 2021 #30112 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Two of the teachers I worked with are Jewish. We were invited to a Bar Mitzvah by one of the teachers for her son. She told us her brother was Orthodox Jewish, and asked all of us women to please wear a dress with sleeves, so our arms would be covered. The other teacher invited us to her baby son's Briss. I surprised myself by watching the Ceremony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free one has an ad at the bottom so I went back and got the one for 99 cents that is ad free. Pretty simple to figure out. You can use some of their standard pics or choose one from your photo library. Nice! I will have to see if available for my android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also enjoy them. The last one I read was 19th Christmas. I think he has 21 or 22 out now. The Alex Cross series has a new one coming out this November - Fear No Evil. I also enjoy David Baldacci the Amos Decker Series (Memory Man....) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one of our RCI cruises, the guy sitting next to me in the MDR (Jack was on my other side dressed appropriately) was wearing a tank top. A HAIRY guy whose clammy arm kept touching mine. I kept moving my chair closer and closer to Jack until I was almost in his lap.😁 We changed tables for the rest of the cruise. Gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
