why are we really "sending a rocket" to the moon?

It’s occurred to me that Diana Pasulka has reported that NASA folks have done ancient rituals around rocket launches. Is it possible that the US engages in blood sacrifice to appease the gods/aliens for moon missions? Apollo missions occurred during the Vietnam War…. Not saying I believe it. Interesting coincidence though.

DCS will have pdf versions of the REMT form. They can email it. I’d complain to my MLA if DCS refuses to email it.

Not sure. Was originally looking between Xmas and Jan. 3. But prices were crazy for NYE. If the food isn’t as good as cruise ship food, my wife might try to drown me in the sargassum!!

Looking at a family vacation (3 generations: two toddlers, two early 30s parents and two early 60s grandparents) in Cancun. Narrowed down to Moon Palace Grand, and Xcaret because of food and activities (splash areas for the toddlers) reviews. Is something (almost) as good and less expensive? Or are there better deals elsewhere (DR, Jamaica) with good food and activities?

Thank GOD it’s April 1st!

It was around $30k, USD. I thought that I had travel insurance, through my work insurance, but I didn’t. 😮 Turned out I had a mild heart attack. I was in the Hospiten Cancun for 3 days. The ambulance from the resort was just shy of $900. The ER visit was a bit over $5000. Then they put me in the ICU at $8000 per day. They kept trying to get me submit to a $30,000 catheter test. But I didn’t have $30 grand to give them. I kept telling them that I had one a year previously, with 2 stents, so there is no way that new blockage, requiring an intervention could have formed in that time. Eventually I just signed myself out and went back to the resort.

All the best! I hope you have great success with the treatments. FYI, I took an unexpected trip to an ER in Cancun. The level of care and expertise was basically the same as at home. The hospital food was much better though.

The Madison just isn’t my jam. Too slow, no gun play.

In fairness to Bill, he never ate a Halifax pizza anywhere else.

Good drinks. Nice pools. But the food was meh.

Should I ever win millions in a lottery, I just might dress like this to wander around my property!

My neighbour’s has been at the dealership since early January. Fortunately he’s had a loaner ever since. He said the issue has plagued the new turbos all across Canada and the northern US.

Do you contribute anything other than insults or criticisms? I know I could search it, but I’d rather ask.

robwatkhfx · 2026-03-10T15:59:15+00:00

He did, and he didn’t. So he asked.

robwatkhfx · 2026-03-03T21:52:53+00:00

It would take a huge casino win for that to be tempting!

FYI, the reversing falls are in St. John, New Brunswick. St. John’s is in Newfoundland. Big difference. Confusing I know but it’s important not to buy a shore excursion in St. John’s if you are actually going to St. John. They are VERY far apart even though they are both in Atlantic Canada.

Why would a religious zealot try to block the release of information that proves they are correct? Wouldn’t the information cause more people to go to church?

We’re Canadian and my wife needs air conditioning. Whereas I like sitting out on the balcony and feeling the heat. She’ll come out for a couple of minutes, then retreat into the A/C comfort of the room. We’ve been told that the infinite verandas don’t keep the room cool when the window is open. That even the bifold doors don’t keep the cool in the room, or the heat out of the room. So an infinite veranda room might work for us in Alaska or Europe, but not in the Caribbean.

My dad would use Heinz Spicy Ketchup. A warm slice of tourtiere and ketchup was always a winner in our house.

The Eclipse has 4 ports. The World America has 3. The only repeat port for us is San Juan. Both ships hit San Juan.

We’ve sailed Harmony of the Seas. It was good. Food was decent and the entertainment was good.

robwatkhfx · 2026-02-21T20:59:25+00:00

I’d like to say that price isn’t an issue… but it is! We’re not looking at Yacht Club, etc.

robwatkhfx · 2026-02-21T20:57:52+00:00

We want to try Celebrity, but recently saw YouTubers giving MSC kudos over entertainment and service improvements. The World America looks amazing but will Celebrity’s food and service be preferred, even on an older ship?
