Hey, maybe Royal Caribbean could raise the temperature in some of those pools to 104 degrees!

Funny United calling out other airlines for baggage fees: Fly United from NYC to Chicago with a family of four and you add $280 to the trip ($35 x 4 bags, each way). Fly Southwest and you add $0 baggage fees. Amazing what those low-cost airlines do isn't it Mr. Kirby?

I love Southwest Airlines. Flew out to WA to visit friends but the day I was scheduled to fly back to SC I had a slight health event. Had I flown any other airline I figured it would have cost me $300.00 in ticket changes and baggage fees. ❤️ SOUTHWEST!

As I’m normally a shower v bath type person, I might well consider my local spa’s sauna offerings. It won’t hurt to try!

The Icon of the Seas, eh? All I can say is WOW!! From a visual standpoint, it sure does appear to be top heavy …

By the way I totally 💯 enjoyed the article on dividing up household jobs :-)

I wonder how long it takes for these overemployed employees to either get found out by their employers or for them to discover they’re only multitasking themselves into poor health? One also wonders if some of these folks are employed by competing companies?

This showed up in my news feed yesterday.

Apparently Guinness keeps records for such things.

These guys claim to go for years without bathing.

Well dang. We gave up our hot tub, which we used daily, when we went full time in our RV. Guess we gotta find more places with hot tubs to stay.

Oh, gosh! The long hot bath would never work for me; my hairdo 💇‍♀️ would go all limp!

You should try a Danube River cruise and experience the large and smaller towns created by the Roman Empire along the route

I absolutely love that you've written about this, thank you! I wonder how this is consistent with research around cold water exposure, and if the two paired together can have balancing effects. It seems there is a pattern in research that when we regularly expose ourselves to stress, we grow stronger.
