My wife tested positive last week. Me, my daughter and my wife all had the same symptoms so I'm pretty sure me and my daughter had it too but we both tested negative.

What’s it been like for her? Seems like omicron causes more problems in the lower tract than delta or the OG Covid.

I have a cruise reserved and paid for that I leave on in just a couple months! Cant wait. My sister (who is one of my favorite people in the world, and her husband too) and her family are going with us too. Its going to be a blast. Gonna stay near the beach in cali for the day and night before the cruise too.

I’ve never been on one. My wife has and she says they’re awesome. What’s your liner? Do you start out at Long Beach?

This will be my 8th cruise. I love them. I would rather stay a week in a tropical paradise but that also costs much more. For bang for your buck a cruise cant be beat. I have been to (i might forget a few) vancouver, victoria, ensenada (twice), cozumel, belize, grand cayman (twice), jamaica (twice), haiti, honduras, dominican republic, turks and caicos, and catalina island all on cruises. Great way to see a bunch of countries for pretty cheap and dont need to worry about food, hotel, or passports, or entertainment. Once you have paid for your flight and your cruise you are done! Everything is taken care of after that. So many options too. I have been on cruise ships with ice skating rinks and roller coasters. This one im going on next has a trampoline place (like those you see around town these days) and a ropes course and a bike thing that you drive around suspended up above the ship. Plus all cruises have a bunch of pools, water slides, comedy shows, dance shows, game shows, ice sculpting, silly things like hairy back contests, dance clubs, casinos, tons of bars and restaurants, stores, karaoke, movie screens on the pool deck at nights, spas, gyms, basketball courts, rock climbing walls, pool tables, ping pong, arcade, and a ton more. So much to do and the best thing is if you dont want to do anything but relax then you can do that. You can do as much or as little as you want. They have places you can leave the kids that are fun for them and you dont have to take care of them or worry about them if you dont want. Lots of good free food options. 24 hour pizza and ice cream for free. They have fancy dinners nightly with expensive dishes that are also free. I love those dinners. I try stuff I normally wouldn't and then if I dont like it they just bring me something else. And their chocolate lava cake desert is to die for.
Cruises are awesome and affordable.
The one I am going on next leaves from long beach and goes to cabo san lucas, puerto vallart, and mazatlan. I have never been to any of those places so I will be able to add them to my list of places I have been to.
I recommend leaving from miami though and going to places in the carribean. Costs more though. I love grand cayman, belize, and honduras. Those are probably my favorites. I dont like jamaica. The place I really want to go to is a private island owned by carnival called half moon cay (little san salvador island). Hope to go there next time. Had a cruise booked with that location in the itinerary but it was cancelled in may of 2020 due to covid.

I have done like 5 carnival cruises and 2 royal carribean cruises. This one im going on next is carnival again.

How did you like the Cruise experience of visiting Vancouver and Victoria?

I went to Victoria one time in the Navy and it was both very nice and a little dirty. Would like to go back up that way with my wife. I've considered driving to Vancouver and then maybe taking a ferry to Victoria.

I didn't like that cruise as much. I love beaches and swimming/snorkeling. Dont really like going to cities and/or cold locations. But that cruise was paid for by my uncle so I cant complain.

This one is different. Biden is going to figuratively hang a 'Mission Accomplished' banner in this SOTU address and his half of the media-sphere will run with that message.

Unless the hospitals fill up again and death rise like crazy or a new much more deadly variant arrives. Which again, makes sense.

Oh, OK. I lived in San Diego for 6 years and went to the beach about 4 times, and 3 of those times was under protest. It's 100% not my thing. I always said that I like the beach other than the sun, the sand and the salt water. I'd be way more into exploring a big city and trying some really good restaurants.

Point taken. But it’s also comical when I log in and see the same poster responding to my posts (despite me ignoring him) in an attempt to illicit a response. And then another alt doing the same thing. If you're incredibly bored (not sure you’d ever be this bored) look at the history of @Bucknutz and @Al-O-Meter posts (they’re the same poster). You’ll find in the last two weeks almost all their posts have been replies to my posts despite me not engaging. It’s been pretty entertaining.

As far as responding to your posts I'll admit that it is like catnip. I don't care if you respond or not as your responses aren't nearly as interesting as the original stuff you lead off with. When you raved at how great Biden's approval ratings were only to have Gandalfe nudge you to point out the ratings were a full 10 points lower than you were saying... Magnificent.

You seem to have this echochamber vision of half the country being Q-Anon maniacs who want to install a fascist government and that delusion leads to some phenomenally entertaining content from you. Some of it is so over the top that if you came out and said everything you wrote was Titania McGrath-like satire, I'd believe you. Your responses aren't so sharp and usually consist of who you think I am or brushing off invitations to arguments I never made. You do occasionally come up with good ones like when you explained that you used to teach all your kids that a republic was a branch off from democracy. I would have loved to hear your tapdance at how the DPRK was a branch off of democracy, but the point is that generally speaking your responses aren't nearly as much fun as the twitter feed you post in what genuinely appears to be serious belief. Whatever train you're on, more please.

Serious question to anyone: Is Franklin the same as Babe or Bucknutz? I tried searching for a 'Franklin' but it didn't pull anything up.

I don't know if his original account is connected to his new name but he now goes by idestroyedyourtoilet. And his old username, like babe's, did not contain any capital letters.

FWIW I do not believe you are a franklin alt.
