crystal808 Posted June 30, 2009 #226 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Sorry to make it confusing. Merely dry wit combined with pure envy. A harmless poke at your good fortune relative to the minor inconvenience you experienced. Farscaper: I thought I understood your post, but I can understand that Marja might not. As English isn't her first language, she doesn't always pick up on "dry wit" that is extended (in English)...! I'm sure all is well...and I envy her sailing schedule as much as you! She and her husband, René, are wonderful, experienced cruisers, and are a joy to us all who have had the fortune to sail with them.... Smooth sailing to you....

CruisinMatt Posted June 30, 2009 #227 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Marja, for the past month I have been enjoying a dutch treat - "Stroopie" http://www.hollandsbest.com/stroopwafels/_popup/12330.htm I put them over my coffee to warm. I found them while searching the Internet for interesting snack foods (yes I spend my free time in odd ways) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winner Posted June 30, 2009 #228 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Matt--They sound delicious, but isn't anything that has some form of sugar as every third ingredient?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabourn-nail Posted July 1, 2009 #229 Share Posted July 1, 2009 To Farscaper: It's OK! Some people don't understand my humour either (especially when I speak in Dutch!). And by the way I much rather show the cruises I look forward to, than the long list of cruises I've had the pleasure of doing already..... To Paul: Thank you so much for standing up for me, you're the best! I will miss you this fall! Maybe, just maybe on Legend spring crossing..... Still remains to be seen. For both of us as I understand.... René thinks it's too soon after our long cruise on the Odyssey, but I still want to go on that final Legend crossing.... Maybe you and I can share the suite.....???:rolleyes: To Matt: Yes Matt, I know them. They're called "stroopwafels" in Holland. I haven't eaten those in a long while though. They sometimes prepare them fresh on markets here in Holland. We just brought a box for Nelson while on the Pride in June. He loved them too!

JaneBP Posted July 6, 2009 #234 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Couldn't resist! From the Daily Mail Ryanair wants passengers to stand during its flights so the budget airline can squeeze more people onboard. The Irish air carrier plans to cut costs by making fliers perch on stools with seatbelts around their waists. Chief executive Michael O'Leary has already held talks with US plane manufacturer Boeing about designing an aircraft with standing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneBP Posted July 13, 2009 #238 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I forget which thread discussed the marina and Steve had posted some of his pictures. Today on GA's website there are other photos of the marina. Also, a terrific picture of a larger ship with the shadow of the Legend against it. Fabulous as always!

crystal808 Posted July 22, 2009 #243 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hi... If any solo cruisers are interested, I've asked my TA to cancel my reservation for the final Legend crossing, and there was a 140% single supplement to it. As soon as I hear it's been done, I'll post back. Hate to miss it, but... :eek: Might be a good opportunity for someone else.... Paul ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope someone here can take advantage of it! ("Active" or "Lurker"!!) Will miss seeing my friends on the Spring crossing, but will still see some on the November crossing!

Seabourn-nail Posted July 24, 2009 #245 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Paul, Sorry you had to cancel the Spring Legend crossing! I think I will have to as well... Martha, I notice you're "on line"! For fun I was checking the last page (64) of this board and I read a post of yours. The funny thing is, you still had a photo as an avatar there! You changed it on page 61. I always thought that the moment you change your avatar, it will be changed in all your posts from the past. That is what happens nowadays (I think...) Have a nice weekend!

Martita B. Posted July 24, 2009 #246 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Marja I don't have a clue as to "what to click" as to bring up the old post. If I remember correctly the picture was taken aboard the Pride in the show lounge...... You too have a great weekend! MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farscaper Posted July 25, 2009 #249 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Life happens, and at an increasingly faster pace as you grow older. Or perhaps there is another word for what happens, one that wouldn't make it past the editors. I suppose it should serve as a warning to keep making younger friends on your travels, much like it's best to have a young doctor, one who won't retire on you when you need them most.

I suppose it should serve as a warning to keep making younger friends on your travels, much like it's best to have a young doctor, one who won't retire on you when you need them most. I'm thinking Marja meant not posting on CC, not "no longer with us" as in passed away! I know many who aren't as active, as they aren't cruising right now... Then there are the die hards (pardon the pun) who post whether they are cruising or not! Host Dan Edited July 26, 2009 by Host Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
