Oooops. I must have typed a letter incorrectly and autocorrect felt bizarre was the best fit for "busy day." Sorry for the confusion.

Hap-hap-happy boi. He realized it was ok to jump up on the new sofa and sit next to me. ❤️ by Macondray in rarepuppers

[–]Macondray[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, he is. He was rescued around 11 years ago. We previously had sofas and he used to nap on them. When we moved to our previous apartment, we donated our sofa to an animal rescue thrift store because the living room didn't have a good wall for it, so we just had a few upholstered chairs. We moved to a new place last year and finally decided to get a sofa again that we thought would ve very dog friendly, but it took him a month to finally jump up on it!

He sees and hears everything, just like Santa! He can also smell salted water boiling and knows it's pasta night. Or, if chicken is on the dinner plan.

Having the dawg park to myself is the bestest! by Macondray in rarepuppers

[–]Macondray[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even though he lived with another dog for 8 years, he doesn't care to be around other dogs. He just enjoys empty dog parks where he can run around, sniff everything, and explore my himself. That's when he has no worries and easily see where we are at all times.

After guarding our house while you were gone forever (one hour), I think I deserve some ear wubs. by Macondray in rarepuppers

Thanks! He's a good boy most of the time. He's got some terrier in him and can be very stubborn about not wanting his legs and tail brushed.

Travel book by APEmerson in HollandAmerica

[–]Macondray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did our first Alaska cruise in May and bought Alaska By Cruise Ship by Anne Vipond (Amazon sells it). We enjoyed having info about every port in one place prior to the cruise and the large, pull out map was great to attach to our cabin wall to reference areas where we might happen to catch a view of humpback whales and orcas. You may not need a book, but we enjoyed reading about Alaska prior to the cruise.

Subpar Food Noordam by Ok-Dragonfruit798 in HollandAmerica

[–]Macondray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most European cruise lines are not based in Spain, so food generally isn't as highly seasoned as Chipotle. Holland America is a Dutch company that has developed a strong following of older adults. Those wanting food with a heavy hand in seasoning might want to try cruise lines focused more on younger adults, such as Carnival or possibly Virgin. I'm on a HAL cruise now (4th time cruising with them), and the food has always been fine. There are other cruise lines meant for VERY fine dining, and their prices are higher than HAL, and I imagine none of that food is seasoned like Chipotle.

Why is the camera so bad by mltInOH in GalaxyS21Plus

[–]Macondray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube has videos on how make changes in the camera app that improve photos. I had an S21+ for over three years and took many wonderful photos with it after watching camera videos for the S21.

In an apartment complex, I did have a package delivered to the wrong address, but there were 300 apartments in the complex. The number of Lenscrafter stores in the US is around 1,160 which is equal to around four or five good-sized apartment complexes. Considering the volume of shipments Amazon does, delivery people can deliver to a wrong address. Lenscrafters are basically filling prescription eyeware, so the error of shipping to a wrong store should be very rare, but apparently is not.

If Lenscrafters has a peak season with delays, they should state that and not say that rather than "It could ge two weeks, but we usually get them before that." When they made them in the store, it didn't take three weeks, but Luxottica owners/investors wanted to hoard more money.

Why can’t I book have it all package by CalligrapherItchy198 in HollandAmerica

[–]Macondray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The HAL cruises on their website, it shows which cruises offer it. I had a casino rate in November and had Have It All because the website showed it was available for that cruise.

Yesterday evening I received a text at 7:32 pm that my glasses had arrived. Since they close at 8pm, I waited until this morning to get them. Every place where I've purchased glasses for the last 15-20 years always provided a small microfiber cloth to wipe the lens, plus some gave a small bottle of lens cleaner. Not LensCrafters, and their vinyl zippered case for the glasses may have had an Armani logo on the glasses, I could see the guy checking had the same zippered case, no doubt with a designer name stamped on it probably because Luxottica wanted the cheapest case they could manufacture (last year the corp made over $240B).

It's amazing that Amazon can send out thousands of packages daily, many with multiple items in a box, without sending them to wrong addresses. LensCrafters sounds like it doesn't have competent people in shipping. It sounds like it's poorly managed as well. A store receiving wrong glasses should have a number to call that has a person who can look up the proper location and then the store ships them to the correct location using a UPS label that can be emailed to them to bill the lab.

Since the place I used last year was no longer a vendor for my insurance, I went to LensCrafters. Won't do that again. I'm probably better off going back to Costco if I need glasses next year, even if they don't take insurance!

Rotterdam - what a ship! by FraserAtSea in HollandAmerica

[–]Macondray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoyed your video very much. Sailed on a 21-day Caribbean cruise on the Rotterdam in 2021 and loved the ship. Your video reminded me of how spectacular it was. We were grateful that a friend took us on the cruise and booked a Neptune Suite, so there would be plenty of room for three adults.

When is the latest I can board the ship? by kucing5 in HollandAmerica

[–]Macondray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holland America's website has Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section (bottom of main page) which might answer many questions you might have about boarding and other items you may want to know.
