    Ha, ha, I suppose one does lose privacy. Wondering where the photo was. And wondering what the smaller print at the bottom says. My eyes are bad.

    Hope you are staying warm, my friend!

    Hugs from Ecuador,
    Kathy

      It says “You lost that when you joined the Navy. Paul Weisman, Boatswain’s Mate”. i took this on the USS North Carolina that is on display in Wilmington, NC. It is a really great place to tour—we totally enjoyed our visit the last time we were down there visiting Aaron over Christmas.

    Was this photo shot in a Navy museum? Wasn’t Chris in the Navy? Ah, yes, pretty certain that he was.

      I took it on the USS North Carolina on our recent trip to Wilmington, NC. I still need to do some posts on that. It was a really neat tour.

    Ha. That’s awesome. And anyone who’s ever been stuck on a ship for any length of time serving the navy will tell you that! We heard it often enough from friends of ours who were in the Navy!!! 🙂

      Yep—-I can not begin to imagine living in either a “tube” or on a ship like this for a long time. I am not claustrophobic but I think I might become that way !

    We have visited the USS Lexington, a “large” aircraft carrier in Corpus Christi, TX….now talk about a ship! Yet I still felt claustrophobic in some areas. I can only imagine how many of those type of pics were on display in real life!!! HA much more than we’ll ever know!

      Oh that would be another great carrier to tour. I love being able to actually see things like this that make me realize how others have to live to protect us!

    I imagine this to be true–all privacy is lost during childbirth, too!

    Oh, I’m really shy–I wouldn’t survive. And I’m not a morning person. I would love to be a morning person, but it just hasn’t happened yet in 39 years.

    Hahaha…I don’t think I can live that kinda life.

    Btw…Japanase hot-bath (onsen) also doesn’t have privacy because you are not allowed to soak in the huge bath-tub with clothes on.

    When my mother went to the hospital she said she lost her privacy and I found that true when I went for hospital care. What made mine worse was I had a man nurse one time.

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
