Rare puppycanducruise Posted August 5, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Report. Interesting collection of days. I didn't know underwear had it's own day. I'll pass on the oysters. And if working like a dog is working like my dog, it's an easy life.😉 The meal suggestion sounds good. Looking forward to seeing the recipe. The wine sounds good too, hope the drink of the day is tasty too. Another port I have not visited, looking forward to seeing pictures and comments. Prayers to all. Stay safe. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted August 5, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good morning, everyone. Not much new stuff happening here, which may be a good thing. Hitting the pool this morning and washing the car. I'll wear underwear after the pool but pass on the oysters and working like a dog. https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a29253159/harvest-chicken-skillet-recipe/ 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Boston Posted August 5, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good morning everyone from a cloudy and drizzly Boston. Nice to see that underwear has it’s own day. We love oysters with martinis. I always like a dog but come to think of it dogs don’t usually work. Funny quote today. The meal suggestion sounds very nice. Haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for all on our prayer list esp. baby Camilla and for@StLouisCruisers good health. Cheers to all celebrating an event today! 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer slope Posted August 5, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good morning. Love underwear has it's own day. Love oysters anytime, and if I worked like our neighbors dog I would sleep in the sun all day. The meal looks good, but we are doing takeout at our favorite Mexican place tonight. Prayers for our care list and a huge toast to the shoutouts. Welcome home Miss Camilla and continued good thoughts for @StLouisCruisersand your health decision. Stay safe, continue to social distance, and please continue to wear your mask. We all want to be on a BHB soon.

StLouisCruisers Posted August 5, 2021 #10 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good morning! It is yet another cloudy beginning to our day here but it's supposed to be sunny later, high of 84F. I wonder who decided we should have an underwear day? No thanks to the oysters, and I'm going to try not to work like a dog today. Interesting quote. I'm not sure about the meal suggestion for today. I haven't been to today's port like everyone else so far. Thanks to Rich for the Daily today, Roy for his care and celebration lists, and to Debbie for her dedication to the menu suggestions each day. Prayers for those in need and shout outs to everyone celebrating. Have a good day everyone! 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty34877 Posted August 5, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 5, 2021 A very good morning to everyone and thanks so much for the Daily. I am so glad that underwear has it's own day. I love oysters and would work like a dog if I could be like Fred.He seems to enjoy his life and is always curious. Yesterday we sat on the front steps and watched the Con Edison workers dig up a section of the street. Very entertaining. I promise not to bore people with endless baby pictures but I had to have one with Miss Camilla in the arms of her Great Grandma yesterday. Things seem to be going well so we are all breathing a sign of relief. Tana remains in the hospital and can now have no visitors. We face time her during dinner so that she can see her son and the dog who sits under the table when we eat. She is on oxygen and IV antibiotics again. Have a very good day everyone and thanks again for the support. Terry 25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliaschief Posted August 5, 2021 #15 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Have to drive my neighbors to airport so I’ll call it a practice run for tomorrow. Hal’s Navigator App still is not fixed and we are unable to do the medical questionnaire and photo. Hal has not been a good communicator during this debacle! So it appears we all will be walking around the ship saying “who are those masked folks!” These two old horses are at the gate and awaiting the let’s go cruising signal. It’s Postime!🛳😷 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted August 5, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thank you for today's daily and care reports. An interesting collection of days and Quote. Excellent choice of wine for the day and tasty food. Never been to today port. It is 68°F cloudy and very windy at the beach today. We had some chips sitting outside and now we are eating snacks in our beach tent. Prayers to everyone who needs them. Take care and stay safe everyone.

St. Louis Sal Posted August 5, 2021 #17 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good morning all! Underwear is a good thing. Skipping oysters, not so good IMHO, although youngest DD loves them on cruises. I believe I do work like a dog. Fritz takes many naps, sits by his food dish at meal time, while others prepare it for him, sits on the top step outside in the sun admiring his domain and has a dog bed in almost every room. What a life. Reading the drink recipe reminds me of what I often say about chefs-trying to come up with a unique signature drink or dish, they sometimes come up with some strange combinations that may not hang together. I think I like the name of the drink, better than the drink 😁. Thank you all for the Daily, including our lists of cares and celebrations. I’ve noticed when I haven’t kept up during a day, I sometimes find people on the care list and I must go back and see what happened. So prayers for all that need them 🙏 and more celebrations, please! 🍷. Another destination I’ve missed and another chance to live vicariously. Take care, St Louis Sal P.S. Lived through another lumbar puncture, two more to go. Also learned that having finished dosing, I may be eligible for other trials, waiting to hear (they are not all lumbar punctures, yay!) 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love oysters - an oyster Po Boy wold be good today. It is a beautiful stat to the day here. Stay safe. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted August 5, 2021 #20 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our Thursday smile 🙂 I had no idea underwear had it’s own day! Yum on oysters. I’ll happily celebrate them. I’d love to work like my dogs - they have the life even if they are technically working dogs 😉 LOL on the Poundstone quote. The meal suggestion sounds good but for another night as we just had chicken. @summer slopethat drink sounds interesting - thanks for the details. It is absolutely pouring here. It’s so heavy that the dogs won’t go out. We really don’t need more rain. Wish some of it could go out West where it’s needed. We might have to start building an arc here 😉 @smitty34877so sorry to hear about poor Tana 😔 What a struggle for her and you. Praying that the antibiotics & oxygen help her and she improves 🙏🏻 And we’re always happy to see pics of beautiful Miss Camilla 👍 Another port we didn’t get to because of cancelled covid cruises so I’ll have to visit vicariously through pics of people who have been. My old clematis survived the staining of the pergola when it’s old vines were removed and is now trying to show up the big one on the back. It’s flowers are smaller but it has a lot more blooms 🙂 And my malvas are really showing off now. I’m pretty pleased as they are perennials and the result of my seed starting this past winter. Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them and 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Have a great Thursday everyone! Stay safe & please don’t forget your 😷 34 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted August 5, 2021 #24 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Good morning from central Texas. An interesting combination of days. I was surprised underwear has its own day. I like fried oysters, especially in a Po Boy and as oysters Rockefeller, just not raw. Some dogs work hard, and then there are those who take it easy all day. I'll settle for some where in between. The Paula Poundstone quote is funny. We'll pass on the drink and the wine. Might try the meal suggestion sometime. @rafinmd Roy's veal chop sounds good. I'm not sure what will be our dinner, but it might be the pulled pork we were going to have yesterday. Last night we grilled a ribeye and split it. In August, we have to wait for cooler weather to grill, and it was about 90F yesterday. We have not been to today's port and look forward to pictures. @smitty34877. Glad Camilla and family are doing well. There can't be too many pictures of that cutie. Sad to read that Tana is still in the hospital and needing it antibiotics. Sending good thoughts her way. @ger_77 Gerry, good thoughts for your friends surgery. @St. Louis Sal. Hope you get in other trials, especially those without punctures.. @kazu Loved the pictures of your plants. There are still problems with the like button on my tablet using Chrome. It seems to work off and on. Yesterday was the first time a post completely disappeared into the ether. Hopefully, it'll get fixed sooner rather than later. My mask 😷 and I are off to the store early before it gets crowded. Lenda Edited August 5, 2021 by Quartzsite Cruiser 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted August 5, 2021 #25 Share Posted August 5, 2021 @smitty34877Please feel free to bore us with more pictures of the lovely little Miss Camilla. Sending extra prayers for Tana. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
