You are not allowed to bring Food and Drink on cruise ships, it's the same as going thru customs at the airport.
Helicopters have a very, very short fuel range, about 200 miles total. No helicopter can make it out to sea and back.
Carnivale did a good job in this crisis. There were 4,200 passengers + 2,000 employees. People would have died had they tried to evacuate 6,000 people, not possible.
Not one person died or was injured from what I've heard. Plus the people getting off the ship all look in good health.
If something should go wrong on a cruise ship you are ******
Heart attack, stroke, appendectomy, etc... you'll most likely die. It takes 1-2 days to get to port.
Even if they have enough life boats, no one incl staff knows how to use them. Tons of staff turnover, training for rescue is pathetic.
Plus everyone is so Fat from eating food 24/7 a life boat could only carry one person. :doh:
| Now that is scary.
I know you cannot take food on.
We were teasing because if there was a way to make some money on Carnivals screw ups I would be all over it.
I dont think they handle it well at all.
We had someone get sick out to sea and they sent a helicopter with a basket to get them once.
We also had a nice size boat pull up along side us once and people got off.
This was a total disaster. |

Sunday night sales was very good for my health.
Lots of green items that sold last night.
Smiles all around. |

Ernest is long past I believe so he wont be able to help me.
Have to send in someone else in his place.

| I`m the same way oompa... anxiety is awful to live with (though I finally found a good med to relieve it). I also find it theraputic to come here often - just to know that we can control them makes it less scary. eb/pp is like the bogie man lurking about when you are a kid. But in reality, we can control the situation through the methods learned here.
Also helps too a sense of humor and really if you think about is there any company on earth more comical than eb/pp? Just think of all the ridiculous things we have to do just to sell something for .99 A stand-up comic would have hours and hours of material. |

rsot tries to write Fantasy Island Canadian style.
Sandy would have had the ship's quartermaster all organised, selling the ships own supplies to the passengers, with a healthy cut coming to her.
Get with the program, rsot, seriously.
:shocked: |
| Sandy D | 02-18-2013 07:40 PM |
Shhhh
Someone will steal the idea.
Since Carnival did not have a plan in place someone has to get them in line. |
When I first started Stealthing my wife didn't really know about it or had a clue. One day she finds all my stealth accounts, tracfones, multiple bank cards, etc and she literally thought I was cheating on her or something.
I pretty much laid it out there and explained it all, she wasn't too happy but she understood and really doesn't want to know what I'm up too...a
I did once explain to a friend what I was doing and they kinda looked at me like I was crazy or something...so I don't try to explain anything to anyone.
I do get asked by different people what my Ebay ID is, I just give them 1 I have in reserve with no sales, feedback to them to look at. Quote:

It would have been easier to tell her you were auditioning for the lead in a James Bond flick. |

Never tell family or friends that you're an Internet Marketer or Stealth Ebay/PayPal.
I told one family member and he gave me a Triple look. :suspicious: :suspicious: :suspicious:
Why do you have to lie to PayPal?
Why can't you just be a normal business person with Ebay and PP like everyone else?
I
Are you going to be in the Newspapers?
OMG x100. :eek:
Give me a breaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak, PayPal sucks, everyone does this. |
| GhostWhoWalks | 02-19-2013 01:34 AM |
MM78 - That was just priceless!!!!
I told my friend who does my packaging and his like "Okay hurry up man make a 100 of them so you stay busy and we both make more money!"
Roscoe - Some people just don't get it! Or understand the smallest detail.
I wanted to do stealth since last year when I was told by an ebay rep on the phone that, when someone searches a category that they mix and give everyone a random spot to be on the first page to give people a chance. I figured with 40+ I'd always be on page 1!
AT one point I was #8 for my category! WAS AWESOME!!! Took me 3 months to get there.
You guys shouldn't sweat it that much, just build up feedback sell the items then.
One of my competitors sells an item for .99 cents to build up feedback while selling his items, and then when his at a good 99.8% he puts that item at $26 so no one buys it then when he needs too he puts it back at .99 cents. A very cool trick since it's BUY IT NOW and stays on the records! |

| Hilarious!!! I dont know if I`ve gotten the triple-take, but definitely have witnessed the stare :shocked: immediately followed by the interrogation:rant:
Stealth is one of those things in life that needs to stay in the closet. |
| Sandy D | 02-19-2013 02:37 AM |
So my "baby stealth account maker" hat is not a good idea?
Now I know why I have my office room locked up better then Fort Knox, no one goes in and no one sees the bank of computers and phones.
Off limits to everyone including the dog. |
| GreenBean | 02-19-2013 03:18 AM |
Never the dog!!
He guards the door to the inner sanctum.
No code, no entry.

| To make matters worse, he went behind my back and has told other people in my family. My sister asked me recently if I had a LOT of PayPal accounts?
I replied "why would you ask that?"
She said "you don't have a lot of PayPals?"
I replied "I have 2, a personal and a business. Are you having problems with yours or something? Maybe I could help you."
She gave me the stare :suspicious: |
| GhostWhoWalks | 02-19-2013 07:17 PM |
Sandy, you can always add security features to the pc! In case you should get up and leave for 10 seconds and have people in the house.
I use to have a program for my computer, if I don't touch any keys or the mouse for 60 seconds the screen goes black! And for it to go away you just type in a password! And the screen is back to normal.
If you are all worried about security risk and all. |
| Roscoe | 02-20-2013 12:55 PM |
No one touches my laptop. I mean no one :fight:
People ask to use my laptop all the time.
I tell them, "my laptop is MY business, it pays my bills every month, this is how I make my money, no one touches my laptop, period." I keep my office door locked 24/7, no one gets in.
Even though I have 2 external backups, my laptop is my business/store. |
| GhostWhoWalks | 02-20-2013 01:03 PM |
I think you and Sandy should invest in buying the BATCAVE! :pound:
Just kidding! Yeah I hate when someone gets on my laptop. I don't even like the wife on it when I am sleeping. You should have a 2nd one as a backup. And put the laptops in a vault! |
My wife uses my laptop all the time...Nothing is on the Laptop as far as stealth, everything is on FlashDrives and backed-up in the Cloud. Every week I back-up so no fear. |
| GhostWhoWalks | 02-20-2013 01:40 PM |
When you mean flashdrivers, do you mean memory stick with it's own portable firefox in it? Just plug and play? Like that? |
