fastpitchdad Posted February 13, 2023 #26 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) I put a Delta Silver luggage tag on my backpack even though I am a Diamond (and Premier when I was 1K) so that people would wonder why I was upgraded and they were not 🙂.

What's the message you trying to send by wearing it? I'm better than you! neener neener neener I dream of how much more awesomer my next cruise will be now that I'm platinum. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I outgrew the merit badge part a bit after you...I did get enough for that Eagle Scout thing...but now, I'm a collector of virtually nothing, so my lovely husband requires me to pick up these type of accoutrements. But!! No shade on those who enjoy them. Strut that which you earned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will give them! Thank you very much for your reply! I will be sure to visit the 'Cruise/Next' Desk/Counter on my upcoming cruise on the 'Getaway' as soon as it is open after embarcation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to wear it, fine...your choice. Someone else wants to, fine...their choice. Everyone can do what makes them happy. Just can't understand why you'd bother painting this with such a negative light on what others may want to do. Can't you simply let others do what they want without throwing shade? My thoughts EXACTLY! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I get one of those? Asking for a friend, by which I really mean yours truly because I really want one. Quite honestly, I can't recall how/where I got that 'Avatar'! I believe that I may have seen another CC Member with it as their avatar; likely on the HAL CCB; copied it & replaced my (former) avatar with the 'Holy Trinity' of a Canadian meal!

I was never much of a scout and not sure I even made it to Webelos. A buddy and I did join the boy scouts during high school with an eye towards joining an upcoming camping/fishing adventure, but we got fired from a fund raising event when the head scout assigned us to kitchen duty and we left for something more fun. It wasn't pretty. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to brag but I also achieved the rank of EAGLE scout very proud of that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, you invest a lot of time in activities to benefit the community. This in contrast to pin wearers who have invested a lot of money in cruises to benefit themselves (I readily acknowledge that this is the guy I see in the mirror but, in my own defense, I do sail steerage and use the saved $$$ for better things).

What @SeaShark quoted from above...simply the yummiest food known to man when prepared properly. Which, for gravy, cheese curds, and fried potatoes is actually quite hard to do as evidenced by the numerous restaurants that have disappointed me. I do thank the Quebecois for at least one thing...and frozen maple syrup. Mmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
