Cremo.

I’ve won a handful of times. You get a golden ticket. About two weeks ago I won back to back entries. That was lucky.

I separate DC, Marvel, and Indies. Then I separate by character and/or title alphabetically. I have a small section for cover artists.

Booze cruise. Sums up the vibe on the boat. Younger party crowd. Lots of participation in elegant night. Hot tubs were crowded. Karaoke was packed every night with the list filling up rather quickly. I think most of the shorter itineraries share these qualities.

Avalon, Catalina is a quiet port. Not too much to do or see. The water is choppy but clear. So taking a boat out or snorkeling can be pretty. But like another commenter said it fills up early.

Ensenada is typical Mexico. Plenty of shops. Expect to haggle. La Gruellense has the best fresh cerviche I’ve had in my life, the salsa is pretty hot but delicious. If you are into spa days-booking with Ensenada Massage was legit. They’ll provide transport to and from just outside the port. Fraction of what’s offered on the ship.

Recently did the Radiance 4 day. Plenty of men and women dressed up. You won’t be alone. You do you girl! Enjoy your vacation.

Cremo makes some good potions for a $20. I feel any criticism of it can be overlooked at that price point.

Zoologist Camel. Got a few of their samples and been trying to find the right time to try the weird ones out. Eff it. It’s Friday. Be bold.

I particularly love the Rollie pollie robot.

One shop around me does similar. They’ve a warehouse with their back issue comics overflow. All the ordering is done online and they’ll be in my pull box the next day. They’re super up to date and organized. It’s probably the most organized shop I’ve ever been in. It’s nice when you’re looking for something specific. As long as it’s kept current I think people will use it.

US- $5 with my employer providers insurance.

ADG. Anything-Profundo, EDT, Profumo. Kinda basic, but smells clean, safe, non offensive in most any situation.

Denial is a helluva drug.

No. Scent is subjective. Defies age, ethnicity or gender. Assigning scent as such is learned through preconceived cultural expectation and personal experience.

Another vote for Keen. They’ve a decent selection of lightweight boots for women. I like the San José boot. I also have the flint safety boot that doubles as a hiking boot on trips and summers. Men’s sizing starts at 7 so there’s more options if you have a bigger foot.

Another option is to waterproof the boots yourself. They make waxes like sno seal for leather boots. I use Kiwi brand Camp dry for my sneakers and hiking boots. It’s a silicone spray for boots, tents, etc.

La GUERRERENSE is bomb! The ceviche and fish tacos were amazing.

Ensenada Massage. True they will pick you up just outside the ship and drop you off. Couples massage was around $150.

I got these about 5 years ago to make sun tea for myself in. They’ve held up great.

Georgia. She was on the Mardi Gras then Miracle.

I love it. One of my most commented on by strangers. I can pick up clothes I was wearing days ago and still smell it lingering.

I don’t know where you are in the South Bay. But A lot of the South Bay used to be orchards. So termites aren’t that uncommon.

Cheapies for me are anything by Cremo. Spice and Black Vanilla for winter. Summer is Blue Cedar and Cypress. For the price point I’ve no complaints.

Love my 2008 Sport in Radiant Red. I put every single mile on this truck. It’s never let me down.

I only tried the transdermal. Since my experience was easily a decade ago. But I’d say it was cheap, easy to apply and effective. I think towards the end the hardest part was the medication worked in bursts that resembled normalcy. Her appetite resumed, bursts of energy.

Diagnosed at 16. Lived to almost 21. My first signs were the youthful kitten playfulness and weight loss too. Medications helped I assume since she made it to 21.

Agree that it’s a BBQ. Not super fancy. Casual- but still work related so that expectation is there. The t shirt dress with jean jacket is fine. Hope you have fun and get some solid networking in.
