Would you go on a cruise? If so, would you be worried about a cruising accident similar....
to the ones in the news recently. One cruise ship hit something similar to the Titanic and the other had engine problems.
I am not a fan of the sea and underwater activities, but yet I did take a cruise two years ago albeit a real short one. It felt safe and was a wonderful experience. Took a bit of an effort to fall asleep! So yes, I would do it again, although I think drowning and dying is one of the worst ways to go...but gotto try and make the most of the opportunities that come our way in this life.
We have gone on over 15 cruises and all have been very safe. The recent problems with cruises are very minor compared to the amount of times they actually go out to see. Major problems like the one that happened in Italy were due to one particular person not taking proper precautions and the rest of the crew not questioning the Captains decision to get closer to land.
I do still get nervous every time we go and worry about everything I hear in the news, but once you're on the ship and go through all the safety measures they present you feel more relaxed.
We also always choose cruise ships with spotless records. NCL is known for various problems so we really never travel with them.
Accidents can happen anyone and at any time. We always have to do our research prior to planning any vacation and make sure we're doing everything possible to stay safe.

Are you worried about what happens after you die?I have two fears for when I die: I'll basically cease to exist, have no consciousness, etc. Or, that there is an afterlife and I'll learn the meaning of life, which could be devastating if I handled life wrong!

I sat this morning sipping my savory coffee reading Facebook looking for humorous quips, cat and pup videos, intriguing discoveries of history, science, and life hacks, of course auto racing, and posts of friends sharing life. Then I wandered to what am I most hopeful about and, too, most worried...

I come from Russia, but having lived in New Zealand for almost 10 years, I've lost a lot of my Russian accent. To a point, where people wouldn't mistake me for a foreigner lol. I have a slight accent, but only the very slight. Unlike my mum and dad who still have a strong Russian accent and they...
