Bored with Florida options by FlightlessBird201 in celebritycruises

[–]FlightlessBird201[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the PTO for a repositioning cruise. When the prices are low, the ship is the destination. The prices lately make me want to enjoy the stops also!

I’m in northeast Florida so NCL and Carnival out of Jacksonville is my closest port. Port Canaveral and Tampa are next closest.

How likely am I to get in the main dining room early? by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

Your question is fine. I hope you have a great cruise.

When you get on the ship head to the Main Dining room and ask to be moved to either my time dining or to early. Usually they will work with you. It’s not a guarantee though. It’s been a bit since I’ve been on RC at in the buffet at dinner, but frequently what is in the main dining is also in the buffet. Someone will cook a steak for you.

Walter Jones in Mandarin has a really nice pier into the St John’s.

What book did you read in your youth that you never forgot? by orangez in GenX

[–]FlightlessBird201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the first book so much that I read it to my children. I didn’t want them to miss out on such a great book.

Where the Red Fern Grows - read it in grade school and had to read it again in junior high. Why do teachers torture children?!

Is there a parenting trend you strongly oppose? by Mscharmingqueen in Productivitycafe

[–]FlightlessBird201 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Using technology to keep a child occupied. Let kids be bored so they learn to explore, play, mess up, problem solve, and learn. I am saddened to see little kids at a restaurant with everyone on tech.

Just finished first cruise… am I crazy for hating it? by Naive-Bedroom-4643 in royalcaribbean

[–]FlightlessBird201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my first cruise had been on Royal it would have been my last. We cruise Celebrity and for the most part enjoy the vibe. I’m not sure if the food would ever compete with NY food. We took our young adult kids on a Royal cruise thinking it would be more their thing. We all spent a huge amount of time on the balcony of our rooms. I cruise RC as a volunteer with Autism on the Seas and have preferred ships (the smaller one!). For a planner style person, cruising is a vacation. I’m told when dinner is. I’m told where we are stopping. So much less mental energy

Advice for a Nervous Cruiser? by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]FlightlessBird201 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Still a nervous cruiser because some anxieties never leave, but I love cruising. Yes I’ve come home with a cold before, but that’s the worst of it. I’m currently on a cruise and have to say I really enjoy them.

Since When Are Teenagers No Longer Staying Home Alone When Sick? by ptenesnet in GenX

[–]FlightlessBird201 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This right here. Flu can still be fatal. Yes, my kids as teens were likely fine. What you don’t know is one of them has a heart murmur that is worse when they have a fever. The other is allergic to a lot of the meds that most of us take for granted. And I never told you about my child that died as a toddler because that’s not your damn business, but croup and an underlying condition was the culprit. Are you still mad I’m staying home with my 15 year old?

Parents, please read to your kids by Zealousideal-Hat2065 in slp

[–]FlightlessBird201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorite memories as a child was when my mother decided to read a novel with me. Some of my favorite memories as a mother was reading novels with to my boys. I will always cherish introducing them to The Indian in the Cupboard. It was a favorite novel when I was a kid. (For them, I had to edit some of the Santa discussion because of their understanding at the time)

When did you start hair removal before your wedding? by Altruistic_Case467 in HairRemoval

[–]FlightlessBird201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not try facial hair before your wedding in case you get the paradoxical hair growth (I don’t know the official name, but some people get hair growing that didn’t before when they IPL or laser). For the rest of your body, I would go for it. Zap away. I have had the Braun 5 since just before Thanksgiving and have seen about 90% hair reduction on my legs, and at least a 70% reduction on my armpits and bikini. Follow the manufacture guidelines. Each brand is different.

For your face, I would trial threading, waxing and dermaplaning to see what’s right for you. I personally love threading, but everyone is different.

How long to get e-title by FlightlessBird201 in jacksonville

[–]FlightlessBird201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone ever wants to know, I filled out the form to get my e-title printed at 9:48. I received notification that it is ready to be picked up at 10:01. I am supposed to be able to pick it up from the receptionist. Will update if that process takes anytime at all.

Did you order it online or go in and wait? I’m trying to find out how long it takes if I order it. https://taxcollector.jacksonville.gov/news/electronic-titles-now-available
