The “rockets” were on everyone’s avatar today. Not sure what they mean.

Could they be a BHB instead of a rocket?

I was just thinking about some of our Dailyites whom we haven't heard from in a few weeks.  @msmayorConnie, how are things there at your daughter's?   And @lindaler Linda, what have you been up to lately?  Miss hearing from you ladies!

Good morning everyone and Happy Friday.  Craig is off to the White Mountains and tonight DGD is coming over for two nights. We will have a good time. 
 

The “rockets” were on everyone’s avatar today. Not sure what they mean. I know the hand wave one is for new members. 

 

I love watching lace making and have fond memories of of the lace on Burano. 

 

 

Sad to hear about the 3 police officers in Lebanon, PA and the one who passed away so close to retirement. ♥️
 

Have a great day everyone!

For fun Jacqui is the highest and Roy second on here but the main thing is everyone is lovely.

The highest cc poster of all time is Clarea.

Bob was the nicest and most helpful poster ever on Royal Caribbean forums with 156,122 posts.

It's a superstition I learned from following the Daily thread; apparently if you start the month with the words Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, you will have good luck for the month.  Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

And @richwmn, unlike the tree that falls in the forest, saying rabbit, rabbit, rabbit does count.   LOL

okay I know I had a booking for 2019 for Disney out of Dover.   I guess most ships now use Southampton.  Never been on Saga but glad to hear that Carnival will use Dover too.

Good Morning All,

We have another lovely day here. Wish it would be like this all the time, but if it was I bet we wouldn’t appreciate it as much as we do. We did our online check in and will have to undergo further screening at the pier Sunday. One of us didn’t pass the initial screening. We are well, and have recent PCRs, and serial negative antigen tests. If they decide we don’t sail, so be it. 

 

@Rowsby adding our condolences to the others.

That’s it! That “rocket” was on just about everyone’s avatar yesterday. The webmaster must have been tinkering under the hood.

 

Havea great day everyone!
