Rare Momof3gurlz Posted March 7, 2021 #10101 Share Posted March 7, 2021 New kid in the block here. Just introduced myself over on the Bella thread as well. I’ve been following along here for many months & decided to finally join the party. DH & I live in the Ocean State, RI. Have 3 grown daughters and 5 grandchildren. I also follow the vaccine threads here as some of the others, purely for entertainment value. They’re often like the proverbial train wreck that you can’t look away from. I much prefer the vibe here & Bella’s! Our lockdown has consisted of grocery pickups with quick in store visits only when necessary, walks when weather permits, trips to the beach last summer, takeout meals only, and a ton of home improvement projects. We are both retired & DH is a big DIY-er. We were able to get an in ground pool installed at the end of last summer so we now spend a lot of time planning the completion (pavers, fencing, lighting, landscaping). I received my 1st Pfizer shot last week (63), DH is waiting to be contacted (57). Our last cruise was June 2019, Anthem 9 night Bermuda & Eastern Caribbean out of Bayonne NJ to celebrate DH retirement. It was one of our best!

Welcome to the best thread on cruise critic. Bella's thread is number 2 so you have picked your threads well. That is a lovely photo of the pair of you. I got my first Pfizer Vaccine jab in the UK 11 days ago I'm 64. Pauline is 59 on March 13th and has her first vaccine jab booked for March 24th. Our last cruise was a 15 night Hawaiian cruise on Grand Princess November/ December 2019. Graham. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheal Posted March 7, 2021 #10117 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure about the Keurig but I have an Nespresso and it gives you a warning on your last cup. If you don't clean you won't be enjoying another cup. I didn't realize this (red light went on then off) until the next morning. Google informed me I would not be having a cup anytime soon until I attended to the machine. Edited March 7, 2021 by Sheal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also will dump baking soda into the sink before I dump the hot vinegar down the drain. Might as well clean the sink and garbage disposal with all that hot vinegar. Good for the pipes too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 7, 2021 #10119 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I have used vinegar as well in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still old fashioned and love grinding my own beans I special order every morning, and using the old style drip maker. 😉 Me too...I love fresh ground coffee and ninja coffee maker. Can do by pot, cup or travel mug. Not a fan of Keurig pods. We have one at the office which is convenient since hardly anyone there these days but at home I love to grind my coffee beans at night time and set the timer for my pot to be ready at 8 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATG Posted March 7, 2021 #10121 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I have reusable pods that I fill with my own home ground coffee. We like Sumatran coffee, it’s naturally low acid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted March 7, 2021 #10123 Share Posted March 7, 2021 We made it to Atlantic City. Seems a bit too crowded for my taste but at least we are two shots in. Just ran into a wonderful housekeeping lady that always took care of us when we came with my mom. She said I remember you well, always with mom and she knew about her accident. Can’t lie I teared up with all the memories. Then she handed me a bag of stuff for the room!!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 7, 2021 #10125 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Finished the outside work before lunch and it was almost above freezing. Came back to house and threw the baseball outside with Owen for a while. Lunch consumed, showered off the smokey smell and made a Caesar. Now enjoying the Islanders beat the Sabres with NASCAR to follow. Steak BBQ tonight. Great way to spend the afternoon as it is now just below freezing again.
