Regarding cruises - do a crossing with Cunard on Queen Mary 2. I've been on a few cruises, 4 total including the one crossing trip from the UK to NYC we signed up for on a whim instead of flying back from England. Fantastic time, but we like "British" things. The planetarium/theater was great, several showings per day, one show was really interesting showing how ships navigate(d) using the stars and a good watch (time), and the symphony they had on board as well as the other music acts were fantastic. The dining and other food options were excellent. The pools are great, they had 4 or 5 IIRC, and while the main pools didn't allow kids under a certain age, they had a dedicated kids pool for very young children, and kids around 4/5 or whatever to 16 could go in the other pools with an adult - so those of you doomed with children could always have swim options.

The Queen Mary 2 isn't as huge as some of the monsters on the sea, but it's still pretty big, and had a ton of interesting features. Lots to see and do. Our crossing had really great weather, but it was during the spring so I'd bet it's very date specific on that score.

Anyhow, great way to spend a week+ instead of the typical cruises I was on (2 of them were work related things long ago, and I swore I'd never get on one again until the missus twisted my arm on the Queen Mary 2 crossing. That I'd repeat again).

Interesting.

Do you have kids?

No I don't, my greatest regret in life, but that's another post or 10. I was just being a smartass with my comment, as I believe one of the great threats to Western society is not having enough children and especially about how they are raised and educated. Nothing but respect for parents here in Canada and the USA. I(we) have helped out with my missus' niece and nephews, who lost their parents about 10 years ago now in an MVA in Ontario. We don't have custody, but were doing regular monthly long weekends with them to give their guardians a break - plus we loved having them around.

Regarding the QE2, I saw quite a few families aboard ship, way more than I expected for a crossing versus a cruise, vis a vis the observations on the pools. The other cruise ships I was on they were incredibly strict to the point of anal about kids in the pools. Cunard staff were very reasonable with this, plus they had a dedicated pool for kids from 1 day old and up.

Hats off to you for being in the life of your niece and nephews.

This is all interesting. Regrets are sucky parts of life, but it is a part of life. Also kids are a giant, expensive pain in the fucking ass.

Panasonic Arc 5. Was on sale $50 off the e-store so pulled the trigger. My ES7101 crapped out after 13 years of use

This will do on the days I'm feeling lazy and aint got time for cream and manual blade.

You can upgrade the foils to the newest revision gold rollers that come on the newer models.

We'll see how massacred the set is I bought... Probably just smashed corners as usual...

Nope, per Amazon - major imperfections top sides and back.

Itll look worse when I put the knives in - god forbid you can see some grain on the knife block
