The New Lounge

The people in my family are turning 50, 50, 21, 18, & 13 this year, so we're planning a big, joint milestone b-day party.
Summer is when my partner makes most of her money, so it's not an ideal time to travel. We're rescheduling a covid-delayed trip to Cuba later in the fall/winter.

that actually sounds fun haha I would love to go to Cuba, we were going to schedule a cruise to go but they stopped them, not sure if they started going there again yet.
 

Our country should not be at the whims of others. The US should be the catalyst. There was a time when we were.
 
We did that last year water was COLD. Last year we did a lot. Rafting, Great Smokey Mountain train ride, walked the trails at the road to nowhere, went ruby mining (lol) saw a few waterfalls. Rainbow Falls is great. A bit of a hike for someone used to flat land, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Love the area. We've been twice since covid. Boots in Dillsboro is a great steakhouse and we loved Haywood Smokehouse. This time I think we're going to do more relaxing things and enjoy the scenery.
If you’re ever over near Brevard the Sliding Rock is cool

The so-called "Greatest Generation" dealt with food rationing during WW2. The whole world will face hardships b/c of Putin's decision to invade Ukraine.

What whims are you referring to? Who is the catalyst now, in your opinion?

I fond this a refreshingly even-handed article from Fox News until about the halfway point, when it starts trying to insinuate President Biden is being hypocritical based on his 2020 statements under completely different circumstances.
 
50. Ya old bastard. I just turned 40. Never been to Cuba. Love the Caribbean. We just did a 14 day Southern Caribbean cruise this past January. Got to see 10 different islands. Some we had already been to. I have a dream of moving to Curacao. Been there twice on cruises and stayed there for a week in 2020. Always do the vacation in the winter.
I appreciate your not claiming I'd be the 13-year-old. lol

We were just starting to plan it for fall of 2020 when March of 2020 happened. I haven't really started looking into how we navigate any new restrictions, but we aren't doing a cruise.

I've never been anywhere in the Caribbean or on any cruise at all. When we can get away without the kids, just as a couple, I still really enjoy the autonomy of planning the trip myself. We'll likely be empty-nesters in about 6-7 years, so we'll see then whether we still have the energy and drive for the same level of adventure. I know once they started having grandkids, my folks handed over the reins to my sibs and me and just enjoyed being along for the ride.

No one defended child sex offenders. You have to be an idiot not to see the difference between a person who creates child porn with prepubescent children and someone who unwittingly watched a scene featuring a slightly underaged person.

Let me guess: Your oh-so-easy definition of a woman is anyone and everyone with a vagina and no one else. And you tacitly condone using the wrong pronouns, dead names, or putting correct pronouns in quotation marks here. Yeah, that makes you ignorant and hateful. It's simple cause & effect. I thought you conservatives were all about taking responsibility for your actions. Act like a transphobic jerk, get called a transphobic jerk.

As a mod here, you're a joke. This isn't a US Constitutional issue. Middle school students could tell you that. Hiding behind "free speech" is cowardly. Could someone show up and start dropping the mother of all racial slurs? Is that okay? If it isn't -- and you know it isn't -- you are lying. But you'll let slurs about gender and gender identity go all day long because you agree with them.
You are trying to skirt the line here, eh? Between this, and you needing mental health breaks from sports boards, I’d say you’re all for justifying pedophilia. Scary 😳

I stopped reading after the “so called Greatest Generation” line. In a recent poll two thirds of liberals said they would flee the country if we were ever invaded. I’d wager you’d be one of them you invertebrate
 
I’m having a hard time rooting for St. Peter’s with those damn blm warmup shirts, but they ARE playing the turdholes today, so let’s go peacocks!!!!
Everything else goes out the window when it’s unc. It’s a low budget program. Beggars can’t be choosers re the shirts

Sometimes you just don't have the words.
I sorta want to applaud the journalist on that for being professional and pretty objective. I guess if you don’t have the words, I’ll leave my response at that.
 
Saw the other day St Peters practicing with their masks on. Like really???? Smh
Sounds like that might double as an altitude-training mask, of sorts, so win-win. (I’d have rather they expend one of those wins last Sunday, tho…)
 
At the Womens UT/UL game....spectators and players are unmasked...yet all 3 refs have masks....what a charade
How so? Dentists have worn masks while their patients don’t for decades now. Why would it be unfathomable that a given circumstance would have different protocols for different people within it?
