      @Filthy:

      @tvenuto Yeah that I have the same impression of a cruise as the author of that article. Reading a couple of paragraphs effectively changed my mind about taking a cruise I think. Also I hate being around people. So there's that. It sucks because it's pretty much the only way for a civilian to travel to Antartica.

      I haven't read the aforementioned essay but I'll give it a go this weekend. We've been on three cruises, all of which with the Disney Cruise Line and have traveled to the Bahamas, W. Caribbean, and Alaska. We go DCL mostly because we have a 7 yo daughter but the ships are easily on par with RC, Norwegian, etc. with similar dining, entertainment (but no gambling besides bingo), and itineraries.
      Cruising works for us because we are able to see a number of different locales easily and conveniently without spending a lot of time traveling. The big downside is that you lose flexibility along the way. If you stop in Jamaica and want to stay longer, you're SOL. It is a good way to test the waters for return trips.
      Besides the ports, people either like being on the ship or they don't. Depending on how you spend your day you'll be around a lot of people. I prefer smaller ships because they feel less crowded but there are also drawbacks to it too with the smaller ships having less amenities, etc. It's a fair trade off to me.
      Long story short, our trip to Alaska was our favorite vacation. The cruising is mostly along the inland channel so you see a lot of nature, sky, mountains, etc. The stops were fun but actually hitting the glaciers and seeing whales, etc made the trip great. I don't know much about cruising the Antarctic but it would be something I would do personally esp if they offered a shorter itinerary.

        The results are in and I have a torn posterior cruciate ligament. The good news is it’s only a partial tear so no op, the bad news is, two more months with the fekkin leg brace…

              No surgery is always good news. I’m surprised they didn’t prescribe any physical therapy.

                  Thanks guys. It’s not so bad. Quite a relief really.

                  They did. Or rather, they said «I should get some». It’s no longer something they prescribe, and is now up to the individual. I’ll be doing it of course, as well as implementing a training program based on the PT’s recommendation.

                    Take the therapy seriously & longs as possible. I am sure you will, but needs to say it my friend! I get some experience with my left arm on THIS MOTHAFUCKA NORSKA ICE 11 years ago. 2 op. 16 month total with gips. Hard & long therapy! But now, me and my arm are good!!✌️

                      Cheers buddy. Made an appointment with a recommended PT today so I’m starting the week after next. Looking forward to it, and to getting back in the gym with a purpose.

                        You can also supplement and accomplish quite a lot ,at home ,with ankle weights. If possible get the ones that allow you to adjust the weight,as opposed to a set of fixed weights.

                          Good tip. I’ll ask the PT about it. Thank you.

                                          Flattering but I’m an idiot and not able to do such things.

                                          Real deal baby boy

                                          Now to figure out soaking/washing and all that stuff I hate doing. Had 1st run of this denim many moons ago but the 634 cut didn’t suit me. Then they brought it back in 634 and 666 but again wasn’t my thing then 888 and again not my thing.

                                          Got wind of this cut at pronto from a year or so again and was reminded by a forum member asking about them and got to work
