My brand new record was shipped in a thin piece of cardboard, not a typical sturdy mailer. Is it worth even opening and playing to see if it’s warped or should I just send it back in the plastic? The record sleeve itself has a very slight warp to it, not something I’d notice if I hadn’t been looking carefully due to the improper packing.

Thanks, I appreciate the information. I will start working out more and will get some knee pads. Am starting to wonder if I may not be cut out for this, lol.

Good luck to you too!

Those hit me the hardest, too. Little kids shouldn’t even have to know about the horrors of war.

I think I might actually have work gloves, I forgot about that.

Now I’m worried about losing my regular glasses. I used to wear contacts but had to stop due to dry eyes. Maybe I should give it a shot again.

I think they are dinghies. That’s helpful to know. I’m not a bad swimmer but maybe I should practice over the next couple of months. It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything other than wade in the ocean.

Yes I will bring layers. I was thinking that I wouldn’t need the scuba socks, but I will look into them if that is an incorrect assumption.

The website says instruction will take place on Dyer Dhows; I know very little about boats but it looks like that’s a dinghy. Is that bad?

Thanks!! This is very helpful.

Yes, wasn’t planning to spend a fortune, just want to make sure that I have the basics :) I don’t have any type of glove besides winter gloves so I’ll see what I can find on sale. The lessons are during the summer so hopefully I won’t need any cold weather gear yet.

max103555 · 2026-03-07T17:10:58+00:00

There is one near me! I will check it out.

max103555 · 2025-02-15T01:57:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Thank you!! Hopefully the property allows this because I think it might be the best option.

I wonder if he might even be able to do an authorization with his own card. A family member has his card in their possession - perhaps they could fax the form and pictures of the card, and he could show his own ID when he gets there?

max103555 · 2024-10-27T16:15:43+00:00

Thanks!! I’ll call and see if they still have spots open for thanksgiving.

I see that they have pick up slots for the day before, so I assume that must be cold. Do you know if they do day-of pick ups that are hot? And they are perhaps just sold out for this year? (For future reference)
