When the deck stops moving is when it's time to go to sea once more.

But never on a cruise ship that looks more like a floating apartment block than a ship.

That's not going to sea; that's cruisin' with 640 acres of land. (And some of them are bigger than any apartment blocks I've seen).

And then between captains and noroviruses, I'll take my chances with real boats.

And then there's the opinion that a boat is nothing more than a platform to fish from . . . .

Not surprising...from a bear.

Og is away - again.

I'm going to London until Sunday evening, visiting the WhoDoYouThinkYouAreLive event at Olympia.

I know who I am. I know who my ancestors were.

But my wife doesn't - yet. She's stuck on her Irish and Polish/Prussian ancestors.

You do know that the stereotypical "Joisy" accent is really from Brooklyn, right?

Think what you want, Thee. I think y'all talk funny down there, some funnier than others. This is coming from a person who was accused of having a Michigan accent.

I have been accused of having a Midwestern accent as well (twice actually), and yet I have lived here in the Garden State for my entire life

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Try being from SoCal where we sound like we come from nowhere in particular.

We don't have an accent.


Have fun.

Have fun.

I know! That's what I tried to tell them, but they said I had one.

That's just a stereotype, Thee. And in Brooklyn, we put 'sprinkles' on our ice cream cones, not 'jimmies.'

"Jimmies" is a Delaware thing from what I have been hearing the last few years. We use "Sprinkles" here in Jersey too (though I personally don't care for them no matter what you call them).

 

[Tarakin]

Nobody wonders about my accent.

They are too busy wondering were the invisible voice does come from.

 

[oggbashan]

I'm back but...

Unexpectedly looking after grandson - see blurt thread.

I think I'll subscribe to that one. . . . .

Hideous — and probably unseaworthy ( sorry to ruin your day ).


Can you imagine the windage on this monstrosity?

The entire new generation of mega-cruise ships gives me the cold robbies. If I'm going to do a cruise on the open sea this is what I want.

Thursday HM, MIL and I will be zipping off to the Netherlands and Belgium to view the tulips and the decade-al Floriad. We should be back the 23rd-ish.

Don't forget to take the time to smell the flowers !
