StLouisCruisers Posted August 5, 2021 #76 Share Posted August 5, 2021 @NextOneI'm so sorry to hear about your DDIL. That sounds terrible, having a collapsed lung in addition to everything else. Praying she starts getting better soon. Oh my gosh, look at Camilla waving to all of us. She's so happy to be home!! 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzsite Cruiser Posted August 5, 2021 #77 Share Posted August 5, 2021 @smitty34877. A cute picture of a cute Camilla. We're waving back. @kazu. Glad your friend's DH is improving. @Overhead Fred My 55th reunion was canceled last year and no word if it will happen. Right now I would skip it with all the new cases. To everyone who posted pictures of today's port, thank you. They are all great. Lenda 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atexsix Posted August 5, 2021 #78 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Good Morning, A bit late today, this latest covid testing requirement has everybody scrambling. We're just going to roll with it. Try and get appointments and hope for the best. If we can't sail it's not the end of the world, I've always felt it would be a 50/50 chance anyway. We can always do a couple of local trips like we did last year if we can't. The important thing is avoiding the virus and staying healthy. And there are other things to look forward to, like Fall, and the holiday season! It's cooled down this morning but the smell from the wildfire smoke is so bad I had to close the windows. Forecasts continue to predict rain and now it's not so much getting moisture as it is clearing out the air. Not sure how long we'll benefit, the heat will be returning next week. The upside are that the days are gradually shortening, summer will be forced out at some point. Underwear has a very interesting history, probably not appropriate for the daily, but it was a good read on Wikipedia. They were once referred to as "unmentionables". Blessings, thoughts, and prayers to those that need them. Thanks to all the listers! Have a great day! Edited August 5, 2021 by atexsix 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyV Posted August 5, 2021 #79 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good afternoon. Thanks for the Daily. Interesting days. I think underwear is a good thing, lol. No slimy oysters for me! I used to work like a dog, then I retired, so no longer unless it's a project I want to do. Haha on the quote. The meal sounds interesting, although a bit involved. I'll pass on the drinks. I haven't been to today's destination. Appreciate the pictures. Another nice day here. I just spent an hour on the phone getting my MRIs scheduled. Same part of the body, but 2 separate ones are needed. @smitty34877 Prayers for Tana. And we like any pics of Miss Camilla! She's waving to us, lol. @grapau27 Your beach tent comes in very handy. @St. Louis Sal I'm glad the LP wasn't too bad and that you may be eligible for other trials. @ger_77 Continued prayers for your friend. Enjoy your family's visit. @cunnorl HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! @mamaofami It sounds like Sam is doing well and his doctors are on top of things. @NextOne Prayers for your DDIL. Sad she has this new issue on top of long hauler symptoms. @garlictown Safe travels. Prayers for the care list and cheers for the celebration list. Stay safe everyone! 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted August 5, 2021 #80 Share Posted August 5, 2021 @St. Louis Sal Encouraging news on your LP. I had one years ago and had a really bad headache for about a day afterwards. How are you dealing with that? @NextOne Your poor DDIL. I hope the lung issue is resolved quickly. @Overhead Fred My 50th reunion is at the end of August. I made the decision weeks ago to not attend due to Delta Variant, some of the attendees being anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers. I have an Alaskan cruise less than two weeks later and I didn't want to risk that for people I haven't seen in 50 years. @smitty34877 Love the pictures of Miss Camilla. Keep them coming! 14 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare richwmn Posted August 5, 2021 Author #82 Share Posted August 5, 2021 With the changes announced yesterday I cancelled my Sep 4th Alaska cruise. With a little more notice, I might have done differently, but today I got 100% back as FCC, tomorrow nothing. 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highland cruiser Posted August 5, 2021 #85 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Almost a good afternoon here to you all! Interesting days. My working like a dog day is over! I have never liked Oysters. Had another great bike ride this morning. Good for the body and soul and keeps my mind off of all the changing news about masks and covid tests etc. for cruises. We will keep our Sept. 12 cruise yet for a while. The grandkids will be back in school within walking distance by then and we will be retired from "transportation" duty!! LOL. Sun is a bright red today. Smoky and haze here. Kind of an eerie glow to everything outdoors. Off to Costco. More people are wearing masks here again now but not mandated. Stay well and safe everyone. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want to over react, but we don't want to bury our heads in the sand as well. This is a tough call. I think you did the right thing. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat shepard Posted August 5, 2021 #88 Share Posted August 5, 2021 2 hours ago, Crazy For Cats said: Good Morning from Ketchikan. Last night we had a wonderful meal at the Tamarind. The staff had switched to KN95 masks. This morning more staff have switched to them as well. Nothing has been announced to us about any changes while on board. We don't have anything planned although I do hope to try a reindeer burger. Not sure how different Alaskan reindeer burgers would be from those in Iceland, but I loved my Icelandic one. A bit denser than a hamburger, but tasty. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobpatj Posted August 5, 2021 #89 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I haven’t had much time to get to the Daily for a while. We arrived in Seattle on Monday afternoon and have been enjoying our days with our son and family. Our daughter and son-in-law arrived last night. Our 60th Anniversary is today, and will celebrate in our son’s backyard, with the addition of our nephew and his wife! The weather is perfect. Hoping all works out for our cruise on Saturday. So far, we’ll still be onboard. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb4683 Posted August 5, 2021 #94 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Good afternoon, everyone! My goodness, so much going on here! Love hearing the positives, but those posters with issues are certainly outweighing them. ☹️ I just finished “working like a dog” in the kitchen…making banana pudding (from scratch, and my first time 🙃) for DH’s birthday tomorrow. I usually bake him a rhubarb pie, but he’s been slyly mentioning banana pudding for the past month or so. Here in Florida you have to get your rhubarb frozen. Love oysters steamed, grilled or Rockefeller — forget raw! These are the Rockefeller’s we made for this past NYE. I have noticed that I have to refresh my iPad screen whenever I get the message that I can’t “like” a post. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
