57 years old myself and retired 9 years ago in Canada after living abroad. Do you find that people look at you a little strange for retiring so young? Most people are struggling to retire well at 65 so I think they find it hard to understand how anyone could retire in their 40's the way you and I both did.

These are 15-foot swells.

Surfpirate comments on Dec 12, 2018:

I recall crossing the Drake Passage on New Years Day, it was blowing hard and while sitting in the lounge on Deck 5 the whole ship shook violently and the heavy glass window beside me was suddenly completely engulfed by a large wave, it turned a green blue until the wave broke. There was a lot of barfing going on that day, over indulging and rough seas make for a bad combination, especially for people prone to sea sickness. My wife and I are comfortable at sea so we went up to the observation deck that is cantilevered over the edge of the hull, it was an amazing view.

When I lived in South America a lot of Latinos swore by the Leche de Tigre as a cure for a hangover, it's leftover ceviche juice from the night before, very pungent stuff with lots of lime juice, jalapenos and little chunks of raw fish in it. I love ceviche but personally didn't find it helped much, Tylenol is better and doesn't make you want to puke your guts out.

A bit of the hair of the dog is proven to take the edge off a hangover and rehydrating also helps along with some spices to stimulate the circulation.

Which features of men you find the most sexy?

I honestly can't find anything sexy in the male form. Women are so sexy in so many ways that it is a mystery to me that they can find anything attractive about men at all.

I like that Trudeau is also refusing to use Trump's term for the trade deal USMCA which puts the US first and Canada last. Trudeau has opted for the term CUSMA instead which puts Canada first.

I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness until I was 13 and deemed old enough to choose, you can see how that turned out. ;) Xmas always held a certain mystique to me because I never experienced it first hand until I was 18 by which point it seemed rather silly to me. All the little rituals that friends observed because they held personal significance going back to their childhood meant a big goose egg to me. I do like the winter solstice as a seasonal event but besides that it's a big zippo to me.

I'm clapping as fast as I can.

Surfpirate comments on Dec 5, 2018:

Since the possibility of Trump getting arrested fairly soon is reasonably high I would need a little more than the arrest happening on Dec 25th 2018 to accept JC as my personal savior and lord. If Jesus the Lion were to come back and personally arrest the Orange Baboon then that would certainly go a long way towards changing my mind on the topic of religion and even then not conclusively.

The offensive part of this post is the mandatory wrist bands they make you wear because we are staying at a hotel that has a an all inclusive program but we just piggy backed on the flight and room deal, nothing else. $500/CDN for each of us was too good a deal to pass up but I don't want to have to walk around with the stupid wrist band on as we won't be at the hotel except to sleep. Wandering around the back streets and tiny local markets wearing an all inclusive wrist band is like waving a red flag to every hustler and petty crook so I had to find a way around the problem. $100 fine if you aren't wearing it, these all inclusives are more like summer camp than hotels. lol

Surfpirate comments on Nov 23, 2018:

What were your feelings towards the woman? Did you see if there was a baby in the pram? Sometimes dreams have symbolism in them from your subconscious mind and sometimes they are just reflections of your current thoughts and a lot of the time they are just plain fun and don't mean anything. Dreams can be just like going on a picnic and enjoying yourself, or not enjoying yourself, but it doesn't mean that the picnic had special symbolic meaning, sometimes a picnic is just a picnic.
