Yes, by taking a preventative measure, the crew was actually spreading

Hey - do your thing - I have no problem with it. If you want to walk
around a floating infection factory where they have to hand out
disinfectant wipes to keep their clients healthy - have at it man.
Good idea. Brilliant in fact - should make everybody feel much safer
health wise. The base fact that disinfectant wipes are meaningless in
the long run shouldn't enter into it at all.

Remember - disinfecting doesn't kill virus vectors - only bleach or
similar solutions kill virus vectors.

I'm not going to do it for stated reasons. The last infection I had
took three months to get rid of and I had to use a walker to move
around the house. And that was from a brand new pool at the health
club I belong to.

Be my guest, but I'll take a pass.



They hand out hand disinfectants? Are you serious?

Is everyone also wearing a mask over their nose and mouth?

You'd like our house. My wife is loose with the bleach.

Sure, I'll take a cruise on a big ship with hundreds of other people

Like hell I will. :)

Ditto. As an aging baby boomer I cannot imagine wanting to take a
cruise
aboard a ship filled with snot nosed screaming spoiled
brats........grandkids or not.

I shudder every time we go out for dinner to find us next to a cheap
skate
family who decided to bring their screaming preschooler with them rather
than hire a baby sitter. Having to endure an entire cruise with that
*atmosphere* is not my cup of tea.


Perhaps you, your kids, and your friends should raise kids who are not
'snot-nosed screaming spoiled brats...".

Screw you.

I never posted anything negative about your kids or grandkids. Your
flame
of my family is uncalled for.

I have raised a son who will soon be a US Marine.

I have raised a daughter who will soon be graduating from Ohio State.

I can understand your nasty attitude after coming off a cruise filled with
snot nosed screaming brats.

You now need to chill.



Jealousy coming to the fore again, JimH?

Jealous of a you taking a Disney Cruise? ROTF!


Oh my gosh, I thought you mentioned my grandkids in your post about
snot-nosed kids! Was I mistaken?


Yes. Please show me where I did.


"...aboard a ship filled with snot nosed screaming spoiled
brats........grandkids or not."

Now hush, and be consumed by jealousy. How many times have you attacked
folds for things they have or have done? Do you not see a pattern?

Hmm, you just got ****y with JohnH for saying something about YOUR

Maybe the person isn't a "cheapskate". Maybe that person wants his
children to learn social skills. Did you wait until your kids were
teenagers before you let them out?

It was funny to watch the people on a Carnival cruise ship docked next to
us at Cozumel. (Did I get the spelling correct, Harry?) When the Disney
Magic docked, dozens of people on the Carnival ship got their cameras to
take pictures of the Disney Magic. I saw not one person on the Disney Magic
take a picture of the Carnival ship.


My wife and I went to that part of Mexico for our honeymoon. We landed
in Cancun, spent a day there, and then took the ferry ride to Cozumel,
where we stayed for two days. Rented scooters. Last season, some
tourists were killed in Cozumel. Hoodlums chased them down, got them off
their scooters, robbed them and then killed them. Scary.

Anyway, after Cozumel, we went to Tulum, and then to Chichen Itza. Great
trip. We spent another day in Cancun upon our return. I wouldn't
recommend Cancun to anyone these days.


Chichen Itza is fantastic. I spent a week in Merida.

My wife gave me grief about overuse of bleach in the bathroom.
I countered by reminding her that she arbitrairly assigning me to the task
of keeping it clean...so I'd decide how.
Wish I could spray full strength bleach in this newsgroup... especially
since a certain troublemaker has returned from a cruise bringing new virises
with him.




Well, there are far better places to have boating discussions than
rec.boats. We have far too many posters here whose interest is not boats.

I didn't address your comment because it wasn't relevant. As I stated,

By the way, "it's" is a contraction of "it is." The possessive form is
"its." You frequently confuse the two. In your next life, if you have
one, pay a bit more attention in third grade English.

The Disney folks really take care of their passengers with great food,
great shows, and a beautiful ship. I highly recommend it!
I have never been on a cruise, but it sounds like a great trip with the
grandkids.

All my life I've thought they were a great waste of money, and they are.
Now I've gone twice in two years, and am planning to go again in two
years!

I was thinking, while on this cruise, that cruise ships would be a great
target for the GW fanatics. Those things use a lot of resources, and
provide nothing, other than fun, for mankind. So, you ought to take
advantage of them before they get on someone's hit list.


I actually asked my wife if she would like to take a cruise to Alaska.
She liked the idea originally, then decided she would prefer to take more
shorter vacations than a 2 week cruise.


Did you offer to send her on a vacation with someone other than you?

taking the time. That doesn't mean I'll follow the advice.

Yes, by taking a preventative measure, the crew was actually spreading
disease. Good point.

Take airplanes. The continuous fresh air in the cabins is bound to be more
healthful.


Hey - do your thing - I have no problem with it. If you want to walk
around a floating infection factory where they have to hand out
disinfectant wipes to keep their clients healthy - have at it man.
Good idea. Brilliant in fact - should make everybody feel much safer
health wise. The base fact that disinfectant wipes are meaningless in
the long run shouldn't enter into it at all.

Remember - disinfecting doesn't kill virus vectors - only bleach or
similar solutions kill virus vectors.

I'm not going to do it for stated reasons. The last infection I had
took three months to get rid of and I had to use a walker to move
around the house. And that was from a brand new pool at the health
club I belong to.

Be my guest, but I'll take a pass.


You have a special problem. If I were in your shoes, I'd be leery of
anything public, planes, ships, stores, whatever. I'd sure not use the
potty at any public facility.

The Disney ships have not yet been involved in one of the mass infections
which have plagued other cruise lines. I am not trying to get you to go on
a Disney, or any other, ship.

Sure, I'll take a cruise on a big ship with hundreds of other

Like hell I will. :)

Ditto. As an aging baby boomer I cannot imagine wanting to take a

I shudder every time we go out for dinner to find us next to a cheap

family who decided to bring their screaming preschooler with them

than hire a baby sitter. Having to endure an entire cruise with that
*atmosphere* is not my cup of tea.


Perhaps you, your kids, and your friends should raise kids who are
not
'snot-nosed screaming spoiled brats...".

Screw you.

I never posted anything negative about your kids or grandkids. Your
flame
of my family is uncalled for.

I have raised a son who will soon be a US Marine.

I have raised a daughter who will soon be graduating from Ohio State.

I can understand your nasty attitude after coming off a cruise filled
with
snot nosed screaming brats.

You now need to chill.



Jealousy coming to the fore again, JimH?

Jealous of a you taking a Disney Cruise? ROTF!


Oh my gosh, I thought you mentioned my grandkids in your post about
snot-nosed kids! Was I mistaken?

Yes. Please show me where I did.


BTW: I am still waiting for an apology from you for posting a personal
attack on my family.

However, I was not surprised that you made that attack nor am I surprised
you are not man enough to apologize for that attack.


Jimh, could you please enlighten me? What are you calling a personal
attack on your family? Did I say something derogatory about them?

You really are a low life.


Jimh, to whose grandkids were you referring with your snot nosed comments?
Surely they weren't mine, because you don't know mine. And, the parents of
mine have done a nice job of keep the noses of their kids clean.

With whom do you associate that has all these snot nosed kids? I can't
think of any of my friends or family who have kids fitting the description
of those with which you are so familiar.

Maybe the person isn't a "cheapskate". Maybe that person wants his

teenagers before you let them out?


Actually, you'll find that his comment preceeded the one he accuses me of.

Haven't had a cold in at least 20 years. I've heard, and passed
around the "fact" that there's about 40 common cold viruses, so at
about age 40 you stop getting colds.
Went to see the grandkids Saturday, not worrying about my son's

Never heard that theory, but according to the following link, there are over 105 virus types
that cause cold symptoms. If your theory is correct, you still have a couple of years to go. ;-)

Thanks. It does say:
"Children may have six to ten colds a year (and up to 12 colds a year
for school children)."
I probably got the 40 years of age confused with number of common
virii.
20 years without a cold has be believing the age part.
Now I'm wondering if what I have now is a cold I never had before,
or that my immunity to an old cold is now gone.
Hope it's the former. I'd hate to start re-doing all those colds.

You'd like our house. My wife is loose with the bleach.

It's a matter of time. There should be a law that all hospitals should
be burned to the ground after 15 years to remove all of the viruses and

Well, there are far better places to have boating discussions than
rec.boats. We have far too many posters here whose interest is not
boats.
