You should be good to go: buddy steamy bina I like to visit Bruce's channel once or twice a month, yeah yeah a little more than once or twice a month. I think you posted something again today, love it we're having fun here. It'S left, but I love Scott Weber. I will be on the zaandam in 34 days.
The Norrell outbreak on it worries me. Scott, wouldn't worry about it. By the time you get on it. They'Ll have treated that ship with so many chemicals there's nothing left, but you know norovirus is everywhere it's in our homes. It'S in our schools. It'S in our grocery stores. I don't care where you go, the norovirus is everywhere and you can get it anywhere anytime. It'S not exclusive to cruise ships. It'S just that when you have a captive market like that, a captive crowd, it can spread a little quicker and people touching the same handrails all the time or what door handles or whatever it gets them and media just loves. Jumping all over the norovirus story, each and every time I think the latest number was 72 or 74 cases on this Alaskan cruise. The way that the media made it sound like a like a national outbreak, I can tell you that I'm in a town of 5,000 people here, I bet you - there are 200 people with norovirus right now, I'm sure it's a common thing https://www.casinoslots.co.nz/microgaming-online-pokies. It'S a common virus. Kids, get it adults get it, everyone spreads it and it's just part of our existence, and you can only take the precautions that you should and you can, when you go on a cruise. Take your own hand wipes with you for your own cabin and when you're on a cruise ship put your hand underneath the little dispenser where they're, dispensing that Purell and wife those hands and wash them after every time use the bathroom. Absolutely, let's see here Richard see, steaming flying to Sydney, Australia to visit, and there you go. Let'S see let that buck, so they pay for a booze and Jordan. I'M in Brisbane Richard, not Sydney she's north of you, I believe Steven mean. I know Richards just going with you receipt keeper, no, no worries there. The Sam dam will have been sanitized with time you get their delightful ship, Randy Lucas, greetings, Bruce and all from paradise, where the high is 87 Randy. Are you feeling better today? I know you're under the weather yesterday I hope you're coming around. I hope Michelle a nurse Michelle is taking good care of you there and Jordan. Hey the steamy beam any more of those great videos on the Facebook page each loaded, another one today get over there. Richard C and the the the air singers know is so long can't make it to the flight. The flight is so long can't make it to Brisbane he's coming all the way from oversea North America, Stevie beam says he calls himself traveling with Bruce but is hesitant and traveling with me. False advertising laugh out loud. That'S right! No, I see her and I know how big you are, I'm afraid, I'm very afraid. I don't I I freely admit it would dezzy you. A Waggoner is here good afternoon, all 80 and stormy day in Chicago. I'M sorry to hear that desi, you know, but Chicago does get those systems that coming through. I hope it passes quickly and you get that nice sunny weather by the weekend welcome back to the show hi to all my friends in Chicago and love that town and Jordan 24th flight 24th. Like time, Richard C is a long time or 24 hours, 24 hours flight time is a long time. Absolutely M. Gto is saying that carnivals stock was up a dollar today yeah. We call that a dead cat bounce in the stock market terms it's a kind of a crude expression, but a stock dropped, six five or six or seven bucks. The next day can come back a buck, but it didn't come back all five or six or seven dollars did it. It didn't and this afternoon that that little announcement came out from the United States saying they think that Iran should be cut off from exporting any oil tensions are rising uh if fuel prices keep going up with these kinds of tensions. Watch that stock go down carnival stock is overpriced right now. My guess: eight bucks a share. It should be around fifty. Not fifty eight we'll see what happens. I don't know. I just don't know Richard C yes and stopover for seven days, and, oh my god. Oh look at the lava and, let's see here, steamer is promoting his channel on my on my show, he's saying he's saying to an and everyone else.

Kept me going for a long time. Thanks to knit I get a steamy beam laughing out loud at C keeper and Jordan Bruce. Do you see my post about carnival charging for pizza? Yes, you posted that on the on the Facebook page yeah by the way, those that you don't know there is a Facebook group, rage, call traveling with Bruce, and it's for you all of you to come on in anytime, it's kind of like the 24/7 addicted, the Cruisin Center come on in and ask to join the page, Oh like in there no problem and you can post anything you want with within good reason, of course, in good taste. What I'm really happy about is when, when you folks are posting photos and videos of your trips, that you've been on some of your favorite cruise ships, you've been on love that love getting photos on there from old ocean liners. If any of you have had parents that were on ocean liners crossing the ocean in the old days, if you've got an old photo lying around that you can post on there, that would be great too anything to do with cruising and what's going on we're having A lot of fun on that channel and, like I said traveling with Bruce on Facebook, come on over and join the page. Steamy beam always be booked Podcast claims that carnival makes the best pizza interesting. I got ta say the best pizza. I'Ve had on board a cruise ship was Princess, Dwight. Well one one. One year we went on the Mexican Riviera out of Los Angeles and they had just installed a pizzeria just off their agent. There. There big HM, I think, the the the coffee and bistros on one side of the HM and over on the other side was this pizzeria and they had installed this from the front. It looked like a stainless steel container was about two feet high and about five or six feet wide. It'S a classic pizza, oven and the door.

Welcome back and it's nice to have you here, Richard C, sip and sale with Princess started today through July they've got an offer until July. You can take advantage of cruises with a premium drink package thrown in for nothing, zip! That'S another sign of weakness in the cruise market on on the edges. There'S there's signs showing up that.

Drink packages are being given away by Emma see now by lately by a Norwegian with other perks. Now princess, we'll see how this goes to as a summer wears on the Caribbean season.

Apparently the travel agents are saying of wait: they're, not they're, not you know dying to get in there they're buying, but they're, not like desperately buying these packages. Interesting and of course, this summer I noticed - and I've been saying it to you and the folks on these on the show Alaska cruises, especially out of Vancouver man.

That'S awesome, weather Richard C. Looked at my Airlines, looked in my locked in my airlines from East Coast to Sydney in March already to make sure prices do not increase right on yep, because the airfare might go up because the fuel cost - let's see, let's see here Steve me beam - is here Sydney, Nova, Scotia, no II, don't think so steamer are you doing buddy and Jordan keeping an eye on those prices? Richard Skyscanner up big rain here in Sandy Bay Saskatchewan, I'm loving it. The steamer is saying in Saskatchewan everyone's saying hi to him mg toe cruise lines and air companies by full five to seven years out. They buy low. They generally do on unless they make a mistake and buy high. But yes, they try to lock in those futures. As much as they can see, keeper hi Bruce and all it is raining here, muggy and more comfortable inside thumbs up good time to work on my latest computer project. I tried to join your channels, Facebook page today I have accepted you as a member. There might start bringing that around again and who knows what the costs will be anyway. Family of four were the two or four or five or six hundred over increase in the cost of a vacation might decide to take another kind of a vacation. So it may not be a cruise on Disney this year. It might be a delayed a year or May we'll just fly to LA only and do Disneyland or do Universal or said of doing a a three day visit to Disneyland, we'll just do a two day visit to visit to Disneyland and then see the walk.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame and other things in LA other than the Disney who knows cutbacks will happen immediately because we're talking about discretionary income so we'll see anyway, that's enough for that. I'M just trying to stay on top of things and see how it's going welcome to the show for all those of you who are new. You probably notice a whole bunch of messages are coming in right now and my on my screen here folks are saying hi to me, telling me where they are what's their temperature today I welcome you to do the same. Let us know how you are and if you're a new Cruiser I'll, let us know if this your first time to my channel or you're thinking of going a cruise for the first time. What'S the name of the ship you're thinking of going on or where, if you book the cruise, where are you going? We will be happy to welcome you, the chat and we'll look, compare notes, those of you who are addicted to cruising like me and most of us. This is a place where we get to talk about cruise ship vacations and, what's going on out there and stay on top of things, I want to say thank you as always to my regular viewers who should join me almost every day, those who catch me, maybe Once or twice a week and those who work occasionally coming, maybe once a month or so and pop in and see how Bruce is doing. I appreciate your visits. Every time appreciate your comments. Of course, on my videos, I appreciate very much the support that I get for this channel. This is my full-time job, the good news for those of you who don't know very few of you now don't know, but some still are finding out for the first time. I have been remonda ties by YouTube as of last week, Wednesday, around 10:00. In the evening by Thursday morning, I got the emails from YouTube, saying, congratulations, you're, monetized again, and so since Thursday I've been quote earning advertising income from YouTube, it amounts to about six bucks. A day right now, six six fifty a day is what I'm getting from YouTube. Generally speaking, so that's about 200 hours a month, something like that so yeah, the first $ 200 of my expense. Fifty bucks a week! Thank You YouTube! I wish you'd have done it sooner because it took you 120 days to come around, but hey welcome back. I'Ve been here the whole time working um, but the majority of my income comes from you folks out there. Whatever income I make it's coming from. My viewers directly folks are purchasing traveling, with Bruce merchandise, on the red bubble, store that I have there's some mugs here and here available. I'Ve got just all kinds of gift ideas that you can get your hands on. If you want just go to the red bubble, store, there's a there's, a bubble, icon up your little icon up here on my home page for red bubble, and there should be a link below in my description as well and then the another form of income that Started to come into the channel is from the Amazon my affiliate link on Amazon, which is also just below here. People are clicking on that and going to Amazon picking something up and a small Commission comes to the channel every time something is purchased on Amazon. Thank you very much for all of you, folks who are doing that. I really appreciate it and then, of course, I have had two other forms of income. One has been patreon, which is a play of a site. You can go to to make a monthly contribution to a creator like myself, I ask for three dollars or more per month, ten cents a day or more, as I asked for on patreon. Some folks send me three dollars some seventy-five. Some send me ten. It'S totally up to you, whatever you want to do there, if you want to do that, I always the most popular area of funding that I've had is from folks who are saying to me brisk. I just want to send you money directly as a donation on paypal. I know you have a logo, a link up here on the on your home page for PayPal, I'll just send you a donation there, because 94 % of the funds ends up actually in my hands and it's instantaneous and boy. Do I appreciate it, and you can do that anytime, you want 24/7, it doesn't matter, you do not have to do it while I'm on the air, although occasionally it does happen I'll get a donation and I'll see a little flash. A little flash alert on my phone or I'm like one of my computer screen, if I'm not looking away away from it at the time telling me someone so sent you some money. Thank you for that. But a lot of you folks do this. In the after hours - and I I'm just so happy when I get an email alert going, you just got some money well. Thank you very much. So thank you for all your support and everything else. That'S the end of the commercials. 2,295 subscribers were almost a 2,300. I lost a couple subscribers yesterday because of my financial rent that I went on it's the price you have to pay. Sometimes people are tolerant up to a point and then they go enough. He'S not making me laugh every day and if he's not gon na become a comic, I'm not gon na watch him all the time. I'M not a comic. I am a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, but my most worried, I'm also a realist and, like I said, I'm a lover more than a fighter. I like to talk about cruise ships and cruise ship vacations, but sometimes you have to tell the big picture of what's really going on about Cruise Lines and and the economy and the whole so that we understand well, if this is happening here, this could be happening There - and this could affect us dramatically and in directly with regard to future fairs or cruise availability, ships might be moved. Who knows so? That'S just life, and sometimes life ain't pretty. So what are you gon na? Do I'm gon na say hi to my viewers, who are typing in message: messages greetings to me these these comets just just are coming and coming. It comes I'll. Try to go through these as quick as I can saying. Hi Nev, peter jicama is almost always here. First Peter, as always, welcome to my channel, you sing Hybris and everyone how beautiful day at Tarpon Springs Florida. Today'S lots of Sun low humidity temperature of 92 degrees. This is perfect. I mean that's just ideal pool water is 90 today, just great weather here in Creston, where I am sunny gorgeous scent day today. We'Re just approaching the mid 70s, we'll probably hit the mid 80s by the time. The the day rolls on and we're gon na be just fine Clifford Thomas. He had done it again. I just saw the news: flash a little email, flash Clifford Thomas, just sent me a donation on PayPal. Thank You, Clifford for your support of this guy. You have sent me, I know at least once a week. You send me something I just love it. Thank you for every much. This is typical of the characters as they struggle with the clues:
“Each stanza of the poem has given us clues as to how we should navigate these traps. I’m pretty sure this one is doing the same thing, however it’s a little more complex than the previous ones. Let’s start with what the poem says. ‘The hunter rules over all again.’ Now, what does that insinuate to you?” Killian looked thoughtful. Trident’s Fury also does Indiana Jones proud in the action scenes which are frequent and not for the faint of heart. Our heroes are constantly captured, disarmed, at wits end, and then miraculously pulling victory from the jaws of certain defeat as in this description: His men were all still alive, he noted with relief, and were putting up a hell of a fight against the Nazis. Jensen and Wes had somehow obtained assault rifles and had retreated back to the stairwell in the cliff wall. They had then made their way up to the windowed chamber above. The German soldiers had been forced to take cover among the boulders and rocky crags above the pier. Although Jensen and Wes were only a force of two, the strategic advantage of having the high-ground gave the American soldiers the edge they needed to stay alive and to wreak havoc among the German ranks. Trident’s Fury may be self published, but it’s certainly not for lack of a compelling story to tell and quality writing. I found myself going back, reading this book and writing my essay about it even when I didn’t really have time. That this is Matthew Scott Baker’s third book isn’t a surprise to me, it reads like a polished and well conceptualized work. The price ($26 with hardcover the only option) almost guarantees you will buy this book as a download ($6.25) which may explain why the cover is a little bland. My recommendation is not to ask yourself too many questions and just let the book be what it is, part puzzle, part treasure hunt, and all action. Trident’s Fury
Matthew Scott Baker $6.35 Download $25.95 Hardcover © 2008 335 pages At the risk of sounding like a movie review, Trident’s Fury is an enjoyable romp. Suspend your disbelief for 335 pages and just go with the flow and you’re in for a riveting ride complete with pirates, explosions, and ancient runes to unravel. Reading the book, you’ll think you’re at the movies, watching Harrison Ford escaping time and again from avenging Nazis, bent on world domination. Only this time his name is Ethan Darringer. The plot doesn’t take long to reveal itself, hundreds of years ago pirates had stashed an other-worldly stone deep beneath the New Hampshire coastline and booby-trapped the system of caves that served as an entrance. An earthquake reveals the stone, alerting a squad of modern day Nazis and the US government. The government calls in the Trident Squad, a secret special-forces squad headed by a man named Killian, to secure the stone and keep it from falling into Nazi hands. A race to the finish ensues as the Nazi commander, Ademaro hunts down Ethan, his girlfriend Kathy and the Trident Squad as they try to solve the puzzle left by the mad pirate Captain. In much of the action, you can picture yourself playing Trident’s Fury in its video game incarnation such as in this description: The walls of the large cavern were lined with hundreds of rectangular alcoves, each about six feet in length and three feet high. And, each contained a human skeleton. Scattered on the floor throughout the middle of the room were several skeletal remains that appeared as though they had been discarded, tossed aside like they were not important. It was not immediately clear if they were human remains or something else. For me, the best part of the book was unraveling the puzzles using elements of a poem to decipher clues. The puzzles are increasingly harder. I went from being able to figure out the obvious solution in the first couple to having to let the characters puzzle them out for the last two. After yesterday’s post and critique of Web Design Schools Guide 10 Things You Should Know About Self-Publishing, I decided to come up with my own list of ten things that I feel you should know. Mostly based on my own personal self-publishing experience spanning 4 books, this isn’t necessarily a TOP 10 list. But it certainly covers some valid and “more important” points that I think Web Design Schools missed. And be prepared, my opinion may seem a bit harsh with some of these. So, in no particular order, I give you my ten things you should know about self-publishing:
Research your choices. There are lots of self-publishing companies out there these days. Some are totally free, and some aren’t. For those that aren’t, check out their contracts or packages that they offer. Know what you are getting for your dollar up front. Know your budget. If you use a POD company that charges for a package, which package can you afford? You should also plan on purchasing review copies. How much money are you willing to invest on other marketing? Don’t forget postage and shipping supplies! Are you paying for editing services or for book cover design? Things always change along the way, but you should plan out a rough budget up front and know your limits. Be prepared to invest in review copies! I hate when authors contact us for a review and we ask for a hard copy, and they either can’t send one because they don’t have any and don’t know when they will get more, or they say they have to consult with their publisher first and will get back to me. You are your publisher and you aren’t fooling anyone! If you contact any book blog or book reviewer asking for a review, you should have physical review copies lined up ready to go. Most reviewers these days will accept a PDF or Epub file, but you should know what that reviewer expects and be prepared to meet their requests. |
