Nice random photo of Sergey Shchetinin (Carnival Dancer). He’s a great dancer and I’m sure the ladies on this blog liked the picture. But for us guys, how about posting a photo of dancer Krysta B. (don’t know her full last name). She’s a fantastic dancer, and is stunningly gorgeous!
(thank you in advance)

We’ll be booking our next Carnival cruise in a couple of days (hope to see you in Feb 2009)! It will be our 7th cruise with Carnival and hopefully one of our largest groups ever!

I was wondering if possibly Mr. & Mrs. Germanflopalot were really Adam & Eve:

After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve.

“So, how is everything going,” inquired God.

“It’s all so beautiful,” she replied. The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem . . . . It is these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They are a real pain,” reported Eve.

And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc. . . . she felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more “symmetrically balanced,” – as she put it.

“That is a fair point,” replied God. “But it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away.”

And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tosed it in the bushes.

Three weeks passed and God, once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.

“Well, Eve, how is my favorite creation?”

“Just fantastic,” she relied, “but for one oversight on your part. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram, and the cow has her bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone.”

God thought for a moment and said, “You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you. Now let’s see . . .
where did I put that useless boob?”

Now doesn’t THAT make more sense than that stuff about the rib??

They just announced a level 2 snow emergency for my home county and I can’t go home from work tonight (I live 40 miles from my job). But I brought my DVDs of my recent Carnival Liberty cruise with me this morning, so I am going to my daughter’s house tonight and watch them and remember cruises past and anticipate cruises future (one more week!).

Originally the Cayman turtle farm was established in the hopes that farm-raised turtles would be exempted from the ban on importing turtle products ( of this species, that is) in the US. So the original intentions were not exactly turtle-friendly.

No need to tell your PETA friend that, but he should know about the raise-and-release program.

I came across your blog while planning for a Carnival cruise (our second). I’ve been reading for a month or so. The blend of humor, facts, and your compassion make for a great blog. I look forward each day to hear what absurd/amusing thing happened that day. I think that today ’s sunbathing story is at the top of the list. What will tomorrow bring?
