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

[h20skibum]

Oh, we had all of 3 stations when I was growing up.  We had a tv antenna rotor, so you could turn the dial to aim the antenna. 

 

We are taking care of our daughter’s cat Lucy, while they are off having winter fun this weekend.  When my son-in-law went to Walmart for some cat food, this is what he found. 
 

 

So far, Lucy doesn’t seem concerned.

DS2 and his family asked for latkes.... DH happily complied 😁

 

[A latke is a type of potato pancake or fritter in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine that is traditionally prepared to celebrate Hanukkah. ]

 

I am not Jewish but whenever we had leftover mashed potatoes my Mom used to make a version of Latkes and I still do too.   My kids have loved them.    sometimes I would add chives and a little shredded cheese.

We also had one of those tv rotors.     

Lucy is a Beautiful girl. 

I have found a shortage of fancy feast cans at all the stores near me.   the Pet Supplies Plus store near me has the best selection so far.    Chewy.com was my go to but they have stocking issues too.

So, who should pay for it?

 

 

Commercials used to pay for it. Now the commercials are still there but I get the priviledge of paying to see them.

There’s a lyric in a Randy Travis song that says:  “It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it’s what you leave behind you when you go.”

 

Don’t remember if I posted this …this was Minnie the day before we left for the Edge cruise…

Sure have.  Loved the 60's doowop music.  You Belong to Me, one of my favorites.  Loved all their music.

Unfortunately my friend Joey aka Chubby passed away but I am in contact with the other members of the group.

Love her version too!

 

Many singers have recorded the song.

The latkes were so tasty, they were gone in a jiffy...

 

Luckily, there was a gazpacho, a meat balls stew and my [very tasty] chocolate cake to supplement them 😉

Road Runner was my favorite, but I also was a big Jonny Quest fan.

Samantha likes looking out the window.  The cat pen which has a cat door opening into it is right there.  She hasn't quite figured out the cat door yet so she watches the other cats but it won't be long because she is very smart.

 

 

She is so beautiful. I love that tail.

Yes.

Their Doo-wop style was different.

Their highest single You belong to me reached number 6 on the billboard hot 100 in 1962. 

Graham.

 

I worked with a girl friend of Joey many years ago.He came to the office on Friday afternoons to take her home.He sang for her and her co workers .At times some of us sang along with him.He was a great guy and became a good friend to me.

I’m probably in the minority in this, but I’m not a huge fan of Celine.  

We all have different musical tastes,nothing wrong with that.

Of course, Lenny!😉

Joey had what I call a pure voice.He was able to sing in every genre.That is very rare.The only comparable to that is a guy that I went to HS with who was in a doo wop group in the 50’s and later on sang with the Metropolitan Opera.

Sure, but there will still be someone who is going to report whoever it was that was harassing them and it is just more work for those that run this board.  I am sure the TA issue is part of it too as some boards on other social media sites have issues with TA who send PM trying to recruit new clients.  Whatever the reasoning, their board, their rules.  If someone really needs to get in touch with another poster, there are ways to do it without having to join another site.

As I said two people posted their e-mail addresses on CC but not everyone will do that

I suspect that chocolate cake will be gone in a jiffy too.    Looks rich and creamy, delicious!

Born in 1964 & grew up in northern NYC suburbs  and got 7: The 3 major networks - CBS (Ch2), NBC (Ch 4) and ABC (Ch 7) as well as local stations WNEW (Ch5), WOR (Ch9) and WPIX (Ch11). And PBS (Ch13) but that was only good for Sesame Street & Electric Company. Once in a while if weather condions were good, we could pick up Hartford, CT CBS on Ch3 which was weird b/c it wasn't in sync with NYC CBS.

 

I watched too much TV as a kid.

 

I did too

I'd put Celine in my top 5 female singers along with Adele, Whitney Houston, and Barbra Streisand.  I'll only list 4 here to leave room for someone who I may have missed.  Maybe Christina Aguilera?  Maybe Lady Gaga?  Maybe Aretha Franklin?  I'm judging based purely on vocal tone, range, clarity and power.  

My top 5 favorite female singers are Whitney Houston,Barbra Streisand ,Grace Slick,Janis Joplin and one that nobody has ever heard of Melissa League.

I'm "drilling" holes in the cake with the aid of a wooden spoon handle, and pour down ganache (beside pouring on the cake).
