Lindsey Stirling Cruisers! 🚢

[tardy cipher]

I was over next to where the shops were.

[frail yarrow]

I was stuck in the casino area in the smoking section and I hated it!!!

[fleet mist]

I had to go searching for Mary and Molly too-

[frail yarrow]

Was that the second line I saw down the other hallway?

[fleet mist]

Cause I had been at Hunter Hayes prior

[tardy cipher]

Also I didn't realize there were 4 lines to get in. I was on the top floor on the right side.

[frail yarrow]

Well now I know there were other lines!!!! LOL!!!!

[tardy cipher]

I did get a front row seat... but way over to the side of stage.

[fleet mist]

I was very anxious and honestly was on edge during the whole acoustic show. I still enjoyed every second of it but I was anxious

[frail yarrow]

why? Or was it like my anxiety it happens no matter what.

[fleet mist]

Like heart pounding, couldnt breathe- but I was also on my period so that didnt help

[frail yarrow]

Yea, am on mine right now. It's not heavy since I have my patch on my arm but my mid section is hurting right now.

[fleet mist]

The anxiety was because of the casino and then things not really being on time 😅

[fleet mist]

I understand

[frail yarrow]

Ohhhh I see. Sorry that happened to you.

[tardy cipher]

Oh yeah that's right. It was a late start.

[fleet mist]

I think Something Wild was one of my favorites. Also took video of Hallelujah for my mom

[tardy cipher]

I could hear them warming up while we were in line.

[frail yarrow]

Oh yea! I just remembered I recorded the whole acoustic Lindsey show! Where on social media would you all suggest I upload it to?

[tardy cipher]

Long form video for sure YouTube.

[fleet mist]

Yeah. I ended up leaving slightly early so I could go to breath work and also take time for myself to breathe and not panic- which still ended up happening just later on that night :D.

[frail yarrow]

Also I noticed after watching the first minute of me recording that I had my phone tilted. Is there anyway I can edit it to be straight instead of at an angle for people to watch?

Cause I uuhhh don't know how to do that.

I have literally never uploaded any video to Youtube before.

[tardy cipher]

I suppose it would depend on your editing software. I know mine has a way to do it.

[frail yarrow]

Is there anyway I can send you the video to edit it for me? Or is it impossible?

And like not even for now, it can be sometime in the future.

[tardy cipher]

YouTube is best because it keeps the quality of your video intact. Facebook/Instagram/TikTok... all of those compress the video a ton so you lose quality.

[frail yarrow]

Yea, I've noticed that with my short videos I have posted on those sites!

It's like: why my video look like potato recording??🙃

[tardy cipher]

I've seen some people have videos on Facebook that get 1080p quality, but for me it limits all my videos to 720p... I shoot all my videos in 4K... 😅

[frail yarrow]

Wow! That has to be weird to see it be such worse quality.

[tardy cipher]

Right? In the full resolution you can see Lindsey's arm hairs. 🤣

On occasion it might even be possible to see nose hairs. 😂

Not so much from the cruise videos, but last Christmas.

[fleet mist]

Oh goodness

[tardy cipher]

So there are two ways that could be shared for me. I was sharing lots of my Open Mic Night videos to the performers via Google Drive. Also uploading to YouTube and you could unlist a video and share the link.

If you have the free Google Drive account the space is limited to 15 GB which isn't much. I have the 200 GB package which I fill every time I go to a concert. 🤣

I'm still getting notices from my Google account... must free up space or you will lose access to Gmail by June 22! 😄

Once my videos are on my PC then I don't need them on my Google Drive anyway.

Since my Google Drive I use for work stuff... there have been times I have been like... "oh shoot dang... I need to delete some Lindsey videos so I can edit my employee's availability for the month." 😁

Oh you need June 20th off? Okay let me make a note... ah shoot dang... hold on a second... I need to delete more Lindsey videos.

You can't edit spreadsheets at all until the space problem is fixed.

[opal siren]

Well I have been to several shows in VIP, so I knew the Q&A would be many questions I already heard before

[tardy cipher]

Speaking of... No one asked her what her favorite color was!

[frail yarrow]

Makes sense. I know a famous question Lindsey has been asked is: How old were you when you started playing violin?? Anyone know the answer per chance??

I know the answer

[frail yarrow]

Well for once I already know how to make a link via Google drive now! I had to do this to be able to send Crista and Mia their open mic night videos

[tardy cipher]

I'll let Lindsey answer that.

[distant echo]

That actually worked thank you cause I didn’t know any other way cause I hadn’t heard anything back from anybody yet

[lusty maple]

Matt was right beside me and there were a few times I thought he might fall on me and my sister was afraid he might jump right over the barricade.

[tardy cipher]

He did get some height on those jumps! 😆

[frail yarrow]

Yes! He really did!!!

Also I never told you all how I got into the very front row with most of the Stirlingites who stood right behind the barricade for the night time Lindsey concert. I literally walked to those steps that went up and then back down the other side. And stood there beside the edge of the crowd of people. And that's when I saw Matt standing in the distance. I said: excuse me, can I get through to be with my friend? One girl gave me one nasty look as I walked by her but I moved on past Matt to where Margot and Ally and Steph were standing!!!!! I told you all, being short and polite works!!!!

[fleet mist]

I was off to The side for the nighttime concert because I couldnt see any of yall 🥲

[frail yarrow]

which side?

Like when facing towards the stage.

[fleet mist]

If you were looking at the stage, I was off the left, near the hot tub at the front of the stage

This is how Lindsey saw me 😅

[frail yarrow]

Oh dang! I probably pushed right past you!

🤦‍♀️

[fleet mist]

Everyone let me stand in front of them cause they were like "We can all see over you, go."

[fleet mist]

Nope!

Didn't even see yah!

[frail yarrow]

I know I came to the very front right before that concert started tho. I am glad that I got pretty good seats to see the Lindsey concerts! Dancing and singing and rocking out to Lindsey's music with you all made me look around at least once every Lindsey concert. And I would say to myself: This is it! This is where I am meant to be! With these friends of mine! 🥹🥹😊😊

[frail yarrow]

Darn, I would've sooo stood by you if I had seen you. Of course it being dark might've made it hard to recognize each other.

[fleet mist]

I was fine! I made other friends for the night and even got on stage that night!

[frail yarrow]

Liv the Lindsey backup dancer! What will you do now?

[fleet mist]

Haha! Honestly- that was magical. Now its time to set my sights on getting myself a guitar and starting to learn how to play

[frail yarrow]

Awesome Liv!!!!

[fleet mist]

I want to be able to play "I Want Crazy" by Hunter Hayes for the open mic night should there be one on the next cruise.

[frail yarrow]

Goooo Liv!!!! You can dooooooo iiiiittttttt!!!!!!!!!

[opaque shell]

To think Lindsey has been playing violin for 32 years!

Also I have to ask guys: How are you guys feeling now 2 weeks later?

[distant echo]

I can be honest and say I was wishing I was still on the cruise because soon as I came back and I had to go back to work and my GM went on vacation. I had a disastrous eight day run because the people that I was working with all decided to be butt heads and it was just a crappy week. They’re all getting their butts chewed out now…. lol

[frail yarrow]

A bit better now overall. Still miss seeing most of you all in person tho!

[distant echo]

I mean, I had a 10 day run before I went on the freaking cruise because people were being Buttheads and the GM said oh I had to talk with them before I left to go on vacation while you were gone and I come back and it’s still the same old crap I almost quit on them. I had to have a talk with the supervisor and Jen today cause I was so fed up.

[opaque shell]

I'm glad this week they're getting chewed out now! Was this week any better?

[opaque shell]

Oh gosh it was THAT bad 😦 I'm sorry Patricia 🫂

[opaque shell]

Aw yeah I won't blame anyone who's still missing each other. I can't imagine how you guys felt saying goodbye either that morning two weeks ago or that night after silent disco

[distant echo]

Saying get your butt down here to Arizona and I’ll put you to work!!! lol

[frail yarrow]

Yea, when me and Nat were waiting to leave on the last morning I never got to see anyone else before leaving the Lindsey cruise ship.

[distant echo]

I mean, there were so much fun on the cruise and I hope it saying that you can be there next time because just I don’t know about anybody else in this discord but it felt like a big family. I mean there was no anger no hostel no nothing. Everybody was happy happy to see each other. Happy to spend time with each other. Just freaking happy to be there and it was nice.

[opaque shell]

At this point for my cooking stuff, I would love to grill burgers perfectly when I get hungry at home!

[frail yarrow]

I really felt like you and everyone else took me in and loved me sooooo much!!!!

[opaque shell]

I would feel tears that's for sure. How much I would cry, I have yet to know. I think my heart would feel heavy though

[opal siren]

exhausted, ADHD executive dysfunction hitting hard, but I was able to see my partners and some friends so it's fine

[frail yarrow]

This is what happened to me today at work: #general message

[frail yarrow]

And I got to meet you in person!

[opaque shell]

It really feels like this month was one big KSLL month. Just full of love, Lindsey love, you guys there for each other, Lindsey hanging out with you guys, bopping Connie playfully on the head, hanging out with Liv when she fell, hanging out at each table at the gala, saying to us at breathwork we're her people she feels safe with, calling us her friends and family yesterday, you guys growing so close and now keeping each other's numbers even, that first cruise will always be a special one for the community always ❤️

[distant echo]

Excuse my language, but that would’ve pissed me off as your manager because I have a young man at my job who is autistic and Joey is a very high functioning young man, but we have the teenage kids because we have of course Lindsey’s high school right down the street and when they come in, they like to be a bunch of jerks and I have banded quite a few my GM has banded quite a few, as well as a few other managers and not just by us telling them you can’t come back, but by calling the police because I got out of hand

[opaque shell]

So definitely a hard time but I'm glad it's not entirely bad.

[frail yarrow]

Yea, I was completely freaked out right after and was even let to go to the back room and get myself more composed.

[frail yarrow]

And like you kinda know me now and I can bet 1 billion dollars you would have some very harsh words for those kids!

[opal siren]

I definitely wouldn't have had just words

[opaque shell]

I think I would've been in flight or freeze mode in this situation so I applaud any of you who could fight

[distant echo]

Trust me, I’m very fluent in F

[opal siren]

Yeah it was quite an odd timing actually, after the cruise I stayed a bit in the US before coming back to France, came back this Monday but only worked on Wednesday, casually homeworking since 2 of my main projects ended just before/during the cruise, and then Thursday and Friday were public holiday here

[opaque shell]

Or FO (Find Out) xD

[opaque shell]

It actually sounds like a weird time at this time of year

[distant echo]

AYFKM, WAYFUT, and more

[distant echo]

That first one did fly out one time on a bunch of kids who were trying to finger paint with ketchup and salt on the one of the tables and thought it was freaking funny

[opal siren]

one of the main reasons why I decided not becoming a teacher, I wouldn't have the patience to deal with bullshit

[frail yarrow]

Like I almost burst out crying like 10 times afterwards.

[distant echo]

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-fucking-kidding-me-are-you-freaking-kidding-me-confused-frustrated-are-you-joking-gif-15140086

The F Me and F a duck are common for me at work when I mess up or something weird has gone on…

[frail yarrow]

My brother has told me to find a different job someplace else even if just for my own safety. But I don't even know where to look. I mean I know the mall where I work at is big and has tons of stores there too.

[distant echo]

It’s funny I’m a retired. Nurse and I used to be able to deal with a lot of crap because you had to work in the emergency room but today at 61 I don’t have the patience for some of the crap that these kids pull nowadays cause it’s like I just wanna put you over my knee and give you a good switch because it’s like your parents need to straighten you up a little bit cause these kids are so entitled nowadays specially in the area where I live because it’s Demographicsand they feel like they’re a little hoity-toity and it’s like really yeah sometimes I wanna drop kick them

[opal siren]

I get it

[frail yarrow]

Especially when a employee get freaked out by their actions!

[opaque shell]

I still remember when my generation were kids and in my last year in high school, some of the students went to the hospital across the street TW: ||to laugh at the cancer patients||
I feel like these behaviours just sort of keep going across the ages.

[frail yarrow]

What the freakin heck even??!!!! I would never do that EVER!!! Whether I was 2 years old or 222 years old!!!!

[distant echo]

Oh trust me Zain They’re still people out there that do that and I hate to say it since Covid people act at their entitled to do just that.

[opaque shell]

It was so inconceivable to me too! Our school called out the students on the announcements telling them it was a super messed up thing to do. The Principal was understandably pissed.

[frail yarrow]

Yea, I can definitely see why!!!!

[opaque shell]

I still can't comprehend how COVID affected the teenagers in this way. Toddlers and children in kindergarten being moody or glued to technology I sort of get because they're really such a young age and really learning their way in the world but for teens to experience it and come out doing this sort of stuff to people like today, I don't get.

[opal siren]

Those last years I was the technical director of the team managing the computer networks in all the high schools of the area around Paris, I went around in many high schools for this project, and gosh it was a mess there

in some high schools the students didn't respect anything, either the teachers, the equipment, the other students...

clearly the parents failed their part in educating their kids

[distant echo]

Just got a lot of spellcheck and good thing I can go back and edit this thing cause I had a few words in there that I didn’t want in it… lol

[opal siren]

voted 🙂

[supple lark]

I relate to this. I had the opportunity to ask Lindsey, Ryan and Drew for pics. I didn't!
Back on land on Miami Beach, I crossed paths with Drew and Ryan, and I didn't ask for a photo.

I regret not asking. I would very much have liked to have pictures of these meetings.

It didn't feel right to stop Drew and Ryan and ask for a pic after four days - on their time off- when I didn't on the ship.
I think it was the right thing to do, but I guess I got too nervous to ask.

[opaque shell]

I think you did the right thing even if it felt hard.

[supple lark]

Yeah, I had my chance on the ship, should have taken it! 😔
'Nut up or shut up', right?!

[fleet mist]

MOOD

[fleet mist]

I'd love to come work for you instead of my current management 🫠

[fleet mist]

As for how I'm feeling about it all? I miss the cruise. I miss being surrounded by full love and support, people who bring happiness with them and dont pull you down for one thing or another. I'm upset its over but I'm mostly adjusted back to life except. I just... dont like my job any more and its hard to keep with it when the love for it has disappeared

[opaque shell]

I really understand that feeling so much ❤️

[tulip juniper]

Work can be sooo grueling especially when it doesn’t feel like a good fit.

[opaque shell]

I also understand if it's driving you to look for something else to work and the love for the current job grows way less. I've felt this from working in two other jobs and those contracts either expiring or having been let go from something great. It's like being exposed to something great, then it's gone and you're left with something that either no longer fits you or it's toxic by comparison.

[frail yarrow]

Yesterday really made me scared at working where I work at! That's for sure!!!!!

[tulip juniper]

Oh no 😥 So sorry Connie !

[frail yarrow]

Yea, this is what happened to me, #general message

Teen boys making me afraid for my life.

[distant echo]

I’d take you!!! 💜💜💜

[fleet mist]

I know you would 😭

[frail yarrow]

Sooo I talked to one of my managers about the teen boys who scared me yesterday by firing off a air soft gun and the ammo skimmed the top of my head. According to him after I left that the police were indeed called and they found out the names of all the boys in the group along with my name and my managers names. And also he told me that our top manager lady was beyond pissed that those teens did that to me.

[tulip juniper]

What happened to you was beyond unacceptable. I’m so angry 😡.

[frail yarrow]

They are at the very least banned from the entire mall and will be arrested if they do try to come back inside.

[fleet mist]

Good

[tulip juniper]

That’s good, thankgoodness !

[frail yarrow]

Thank you. When I told my brother what happened he said if he was there and saw them do that, we'll let's just say the boys would not need to be arrested.

He's protective of me.

[fleet mist]

I'm with your brother on that one Connie-

[frail yarrow]

Ooooohhhh yea, I definitely know that you'd be doing things to keep me protected.

[fleet mist]

I will fight people-

[frail yarrow]

Thank you both @fleet mist and @tulip juniper

[fleet mist]

Especially since I know there are federally mandated fire extinguishers everywhere ^-^

[frail yarrow]

And I guess my managers were quite impressed with how I took the situation too!!!!

[tulip juniper]

Sophia heard me getting upset and she is really mad and said she would teach those boys a lesson if she was there.

[fleet mist]

Awe

Feisty child

[frail yarrow]

Ohhhh yea, we have 2 in the front of the store beside where I usually stand!!!

[fleet mist]

I have zero qualms using a fire extinguisher as a weapon

[tulip juniper]

She is and she loves you and Connie so much.

[frail yarrow]

That warms my heart and makes me tear up that you both love me like family!!!!

[fleet mist]

Awe 😭 I'm so happy. Shes such a sweetheart. Love her too haha

[frail yarrow]

I love your whole family @tulip juniper!!!!

[fleet mist]

Love all yall tbh. All yall here are my main, chosen family

[frail yarrow]

Same Liv!!!

[fleet mist]

I told my one manager that the photo with a bunch of us was basically a family photo. He said it looks like it haha

[frail yarrow]

And believe me when I say if someone tried hurting any of you I'd be there to teach them a lesson too!!!

Oh and for at least the next few weeks there will be more security people here at this mall.

I just saw one walk past me.

My break is over now sooo I will talk to you all 4 hours from now.

[fleet mist]

See yah Connie 💜

[frail yarrow]

Love you all!!!!

[opaque shell]

Aww

[opaque shell]

One more hour, good luck!

[tardy cipher]

Stumbled on this live stream of Port Miami. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzXxmbP-rLM

[fleet mist]

I miss yall >×<

[tulip juniper]

Awww Yayyyyyy !!! I m so glad !!. It warms my heart that it warms your heart. 💖 I’m so glad.

[frail yarrow]

I love that you all loved talking to me! I haven't ever had too many friends that would spend time with me hardly ever, like in school And getting to talk to you guys even if just for a few minutes made me feel really special!!!!

[tulip juniper]

Awwww Yayyyyyyy!! Same here, It really felt like family coming together!! I loved our time together 🥰🥰🥰🥰. I have not had many friends in my life and you guys made me feel loved.

[frail yarrow]

Oh and thank you for the friendship bracelet!!! I love it!!!!!

[fleet mist]

Honestly... it really did feel like family. I explain our group photos as family pictures haha

[lusty maple]

Is anyone else still peeling from sun burns or is it just me. I also miss the cruise and all of you ❤️

[fleet mist]

Not peeling here. Just sleeping a lot still haha

[frail yarrow]

My scalp has peeled from being in the sun. Also I still have those weird scratches on my right leg that I got after falling multiple times at the beach in the ocean. The movement of the water just kept making me fall.

[opal siren]

I do, but actually it just began peeling a week ago

[frail yarrow]

When I combed my hair after my showers I would get dry skin in the comb and in my hair.

[fleet mist]

I think I'm still recovering from everything so my body still just wants sleep. I pushed myself pretty far on this trip...

[frail yarrow]

I would have gladly given you all more sunscreen if you had asked. I had 3 tubes with me! And usually at least 1 tube with me at all times! LOL!!!!

[lusty maple]

I am still a little sick myself, I slept till 1230 today.

[fleet mist]

I wish haha. But I had to work today. And I feel better except when I have coughing fits

[frail yarrow]

I worked all day. My feet and back still hurt right now even tho I am laying on my bed.

[fleet mist]

I've gotta give myself the benefit of the doubt and tell myself I was pretty much sick sick from the overheating... I was pretty bad off... which i still feel bad about- people had to deal with me >×<

Like. It makes sense from that and then being sick with what was probably covid or some upper respiratory thing- i'm still not okay- like. It makes sense- but I still feel like I should be better 🥲😅

and we aren't even going into how conflicted my brain feels right now Just know I miss you guys a lot and love yall >×<

[lusty maple]

I worked Tuesday to Saturday but got off early Saturday because we were slow.. It was good because I really needed to rest.

[frail yarrow]

I definitely had covid and still have sinus issues/coughing at times/and lungs always get stuffed with mucus. My throat and sinuses are always giving me trouble tho.

[fleet mist]

I've not worked much at all between being sick and having hours cut

I'm still having major coughing fits to where I cant breathe through them >×<

I have a cough med but. Its not doing much

[frail yarrow]

I use Mucinex for my coughing and chest congestion.

[fleet mist]

I want to stop coughing 🥲

[lusty maple]

I fell once at the beach because my foot sank into the sand. Margot helped me get up from the sand.

[frail yarrow]

This is what the scratches on my leg looked like right after getting back home from the Lindsey Stirling Master of Tides cruise. I still have some of them and really don't know what I got scratched by? Are there bugs or something in sand? I really don't know what did these to me.

[opal siren]

Sometimes I have this kind of marks on my legs after going to the beach but I don't know what causes them

[frail yarrow]

It's a total mystery then!

[fickle needle]

It could be swimmers itch 🤷‍♀️ did you go into the water at all and it could get into the sand too sometimes if not then idk but trying to help

[whole heart]

It may happen again, but that remains an unanswerable question for now.

[frail yarrow]

It doesn't hurt, sting or itch tho. Luckily enough!!!

But yea, just weird that I got that many spots in a group together like that!!!!

[opaque shell]

Aw Lindsey being an auntie ❤
I was just hanging out with one of my nephews a few days ago, he wanted me to see Minecraft with him 😅

If I ever have a daughter and she wants to do tea parties or something, we're doing it. The Rock, to me, growing up, made father daughter time seem precious

[fickle needle]

Ok that's good

[cedar oyster]

That’s so awful. I’m so sorry Connie

[frail yarrow]

Thank you Ally.

[opaque shell]

To think this community went from this to the Cruise in 2 years! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m95plzX1YI4&ab_channel=Gengar

[regal vale]

I miss these chats. 😢

[frail yarrow]

Meee too!!!!

[distant echo]

It wasn’t supposed to load twice… lol

[fleet mist]

Ope

Pretty sure I did that right..? Voting on the story I mean-

[whole heart]

Those were the days

[frail yarrow]

I'm still soooo tired from work these last few days. I think I will take a nap and then eat dinner later.

[fleet mist]

I miss these times too...

[opaque shell]

🎶 And you knew who you *werrrrrrrrrrrr.....*🎶

https://tenor.com/view/bsod-gif-26376970

Seriously though, I miss these times. Whether it's the book clubs, the Twitch streams or the Discord activities, I never would've thought I'd say I was playing games or watching a movie or even just hanging out with Lindsey. Never cooked along but rn I am planning on making my Oreo cookie balls!

[opaque shell]

Those were very good times 😄

[fleet mist]

I remember cooking along on the quesadilla

[frail yarrow]

Can you share a picture along with the recipe for the Oreo cookie balls??

[fleet mist]

I had that little one on one cooking time with Lindsey >×<

Forever going to remember that

[whole heart]

Yea. As proven by what we did with the week of events, We can bring things back as long as their is an interest and someone to handle hosting duties.

[opaque shell]

Oh! I can find the recipe again! I already made them last time so I can provide a picture 🙂

[opaque shell]

That's the one I specifically remember!

[opaque shell]

I love when her and Sammy saw my comment suggesting GrillNation and she's like "Maybe Zain should be on this stream!"

[fleet mist]

Also, Lindsey making my cheesecake brownie recipe 😭

[fleet mist]

I remember that! Haha!

[opaque shell]

She just loves our ideas!

[frail yarrow]

That's what it was! I knew there was a brownie something you technically cooked along with Lindsey but I couldn't remember exactly what it was!!!

[fleet mist]

Uh-huh!!!

[frail yarrow]

Nope! I decided to stay up and eat dinner now!!!

But will probably go to bed sooner tonight!!!!

[trail stag]

I know this was 5 days ago as I felt worse.. but I need to say that I felt the same way! I mean I didn't like having to stay in the ADA sections and having reactions inside.. but SO worth it 😊

I'm replying to this now because I'm doing a lot better!! Just been having a lot of allergic reactions because the AC guys did something wrong and my room was full of air from outside, & it was raining a lot. So lots of mold spores coming in 😭

I wasn't able to be there for the live drop but omg the Evil Twin 2.0 is mindblowingly amazing!!

I'm finally posting my cruise photos on Instagram! Mine is ceverything9 so follow!

[fleet mist]

I still havent fully recovered 😭 But its okay cause. I regret NOTHING

[tardy cipher]

That diving class was awesome though. Glad we could be part of it!

[frail yarrow]

Ohhhh yes! I absolutely loved being in the deep ocean water filled with sharks and jellyfish with the 200 foot waves while a volcano is erupting in the background.

[tardy cipher]

Those were some good times for sure!

It was also nice being able to toss all those bananas into the volcano. Been wanting to toss bananas in lava for so long!

[frail yarrow]

You better do it for Liv too!!!

[tardy cipher]

I mean, I did it for Liv. I would follow Liv...

[fleet mist]

Since LIV CANT HAVE BANANAS ANYMORE 😭

[fleet mist]

Into trouble and chaos I'm sure 🤣

We have no clue where Lindsey would follow me but eeeyyy- I'm brave lol

[frail yarrow]

Also did I mention that all 5 of those things are kinda my nightmares, yeeaa I don't like any of those things. No deep water or sharks or jellyfish or big waves and even volcanoes are obviously scary too!!!

[fleet mist]

Oofles

[fleet mist]

Lindsey at Drew here

[tardy cipher]

Liv is Sleepwalking with Jellyfish

[frail yarrow]

But I mean I technically did slightly conquer my fears of the ocean and everything in it enough to be waist deep in the water. Was I almost always looking around to make sure that I didn't step on anything poisonous/venomous and also had a lookout for sharks just in case!!!!! One time I saw a bunch of bubbles out in the water like 30 feet away and I'm like: NOPE NOPE NOPE!!! And I made my way back onto the beach! I'm a proud but alive coward!

[opal siren]

At least in the Bahamas the water was crystal clear so you could look around easily

[fleet mist]

I swam to where I couldnt stand haha 🥲

[opal siren]

That's not difficult

Sorry it was too easy

[fleet mist]

No its not

[frail yarrow]

Also I was fine in the over 5 feet deep pool on the pool deck only because I had you all in the pool with me.

I figured you all wouldn't let me drown or whatever!

[opal siren]

We wouldn't

The other people in the pool, not so sure

[fleet mist]

There was also a lifeguard at the pool

[frail yarrow]

Yep, I actually do remember that. I'm glad.

[opal siren]

The first day as I walked next to the pool, there was a little girl swimming in the middle of the pool with people around

She almost drowned

[fleet mist]

Dear gods

[opal siren]

The lifeguard had to toss her a buoy

Nobody around moved

[frail yarrow]

Woooow just wow!!!!

[fleet mist]

[opal siren]

The ship didn't even leave Miami port yet

[fleet mist]

[frail yarrow]

I'm over here like: Ooohhhhh soooo the whole Lindsey cruise was all a simulation then! Ok, that makes much more sense! Just kidding!

[trail stag]

I think I was exposed to more mold than I expected 😭 But.... I STILL REGRET NOTHING!!!!

[fleet mist]

NO REGRETS CLUB!!!!

Cruise was too fun.

[trail stag]

😂 The snorkeling was deep but the water by the stairs that I could use was like knee deep 😂

[fleet mist]

That sounds like a bit of fun

[trail stag]

We need jackets 🙌
It almost feels like a dream to me... I still need to post more stuff 😂

[fleet mist]

Yes we do, haha!

And same. I've been slowly getting to things and pouring over things for videos

[trail stag]

I take soooo long but I love it cause I get to relive it over and over. I'm going to make videos slowly lol

But also I feel like death today 😭

[fleet mist]

No but I get this so much!!!

I will feel like death tomorrow since I havent been able to sleep at all

[fleet mist]

Sorry you felt like death today though 🫂

[trail stag]

Same!! I should be sleepy right now.. once my sleepy meds kick in I should be okay though.

Look @frail yarrow I put the calendar right by my bed! I wish I had gotten you to write a message 🥹 I miss you!

[fleet mist]

Oof. I'm just hoping to get tired soon to sleep but. I gotta wake early. And its already coming up on 1 am soonish

Well. In like 30 min

[trail stag]

Lol you must be an hour behind me

I suck at time zones 😂

[fleet mist]

Its currently 12:24 am

[trail stag]

Yep an hour. Lucky. But I don't have to be up until 11 for my infusion so I'm lucky lol

[frail yarrow]

Ooooo sooooo awesome Carly!!!!

1:25am here!

I miss you too Carly!!!

[trail stag]

😊 The pictures are gorgeous!

I want to be back on the deck watching the moon 😭

[fleet mist]

SAME

[frail yarrow]

The only thing that really bugged me and put me in a kinda bad mood was when I was forced to stand in the casino area where there were people smoking. I hated that soooooo much!!!!!

[tardy cipher]

One of the photographers working for Sixthman wrote an article that talks about Lindsey. A few photos included have the back of my head in them! 😄

I miss all the Lindsey streams. Especially the Twitch ones. The new platforms are great but there’s something a little more magical to the gatherings on Twitch

[distant echo]

You had us all at your Back!!!

[distant echo]

Being a former smoker, I always feel grateful not having cravings but I often think to myself, OMG did I smell like that????? lol

[fleet mist]

I know I smelled like that when I smoked. Now I get super sick from even a tiny hit of Nicotine 🥲

but boy did I crave a cigarette and almost throw away 2 years

And one year 0 nicotine-

[distant echo]

My smeller, my nose was always sensitive and still is, sounds disgusting but when I was a nurse back in historic times… 🤣😂 smells from different medical issues I always picked up on quickly…

I never smelled me as a smoker…

LOL

[fleet mist]

I always had a more sensitive nose- but after stopping smoking cigarettes? Holy shit man. Its insane! I can smell a cigarette from across the street

This is even with me still being a smoker of a separate kind haha

[tardy cipher]

And that other kind usually bothers me. Especially now that it's legal in Missouri. I smell it more and more. There are a few of my regular bowlers I can tell when they are in the building before I even see them because I can smell them. Don't worry Liv... you didn't have that smell on you when we were around each other.

[opaque shell]

The Twitch streams were always such a fun time! xD I can't help but pull up this one sometimes and that awkward silence https://www.twitch.tv/lindseystirling/clip/RichHandsomeTurtleWoofer-H2jtlnQbZw7dCOdJ

[tardy cipher]

I even learned a trick for dealing with pot smelling cash. I have been told to put the smelly bills inside of an envelope with coffee grounds mixed in.

[fleet mist]

I never smell of it, tbh 😅 which is weird. But I had also been on a break for a few days by the time I met yall

[tardy cipher]

I swear there are two guys I see all the time that I think I can see their smell. 😄

[fleet mist]

I'm really happy I did as well as I did managing my anxiety and panic stuff and everything without it, tbh cause I dont use it recreationally-

[tardy cipher]

I know the smell was definitely around at the Miami hotels I was at.

Good thing for the balcony to help air things out a bit.

On the ship, it was a bit of the sewer smell when walking down the hallway to the cabin. Luckily couldn't smell it in the room.

That I was warned about happening beforehand.

I was joking to mom throughout the trip anytime we were in a place that smelled... 1 sip in... 2 sips out...

I would randomly do the breathwork too.

Arms in the air! Let's go!

In through the nose... out through the teeth!

[fleet mist]

Yeah there was this 😅

[frail yarrow]

I could definitely smell that bad smell when we were all standing in front of the barricade before the first Lindsey concert! I thought it was just me and my extra good sniffer that could smell that bad smell!!! Like I said: I once smelled my dad's broken radiator smell from our minivan after he hit 2 deer on his way back home around 12am-1am. When we took the minivan into the shop and my dad says: Miss nose here smells something coming from the van. Guys go outside and check the minivan and then come back in and the guy points at me and says: You were right! Broken radiator!!!!

I've never doubted my nose and sense of smell ever since then!!!

[opaque shell]

Two things: 1) Everytime I hear Senorita on the radio, I pretend I'm Camilla the chicken from the Muppets clucking to that song but 2) You just reminded me of the time I made a Halloween reel of Lindsey set to the theme of Sabrina the Teenage Witch 😂

[tulip juniper]

Oh geese !!!

[empty flint]

I talked to tammy quite a bit and she is a sweetheart

[trail stag]

I have appeared in ZERO pics,, vids or posts 😭

[frail yarrow]

You're in some Carly!!!

[trail stag]

I'm siiiiiiiiiick 😭😭 I got another infusion yesterday and it triggered an attack/flare.. This hasn't happened before 😭
I can't look at my phone much so just saying hi & pics from the 1st 400 show 😊

[trail stag]

Yessss I made it into one!!!! 😁 And there was a guy with a camera that definitely got pics or vids of me.. but posted nowhere 😭

[frail yarrow]

Sorry you're sick. I'm staying in bed right now cause of my period.

[opaque shell]

That sounds really scary 😦

[tardy cipher]

This is pretty cool. We were part of the cleanest cruise line! Thanks Washy Washy, Happy Happy people! 😄

Matt and Geoff! 😄

[fleet mist]

HAHA 🤣🤣

[distant echo]

It reminds me of skunk weed from all the chemicals they put in it now!!!

[tardy cipher]

That's exactly what it smells like too! Skunk! 🦨

[distant echo]

No, don’t get me wrong. I am no 😇 and I dabbled a tad bit in my freshman year high school until somebody pulled a bad prank and laced something with something else that got me deathly sick so I’ve never been able to do it since and I’m kind of glad but I grew up in Vienna, Virginia, and I can remember going through woods and stepping on skunk weed and it’s smelling like that I have never ever forgotten that smell because I played in the woods a lot as a kid growing up because we didn’t have digital back then 😂😝🤣 but I have never forgotten that smell!!!

[fleet mist]

I tend to stick with sweet and flowery strains, tbh. The skunky stuff is usually weird

[distant echo]

I just got shot by the hot fudge dispenser🤣😜🤣😝😜😂😂

[fleet mist]

Oh nooo

[frail yarrow]

That's one sticky mess. Hope things clean up easily for you.

[distant echo]

But it’s where it shot me as what’s funny and I’m not gonna describe it here, but it was on the upper half half
Way between the girls and under my armpit

[fleet mist]

Oh goodness thats like the worst 🤣

[frail yarrow]

Might either need a new shirt or some stain remover for that shirt then.

[opaque shell]

Oh crap baskets

[distant echo]

No, it kind of got worse from there. I actually took a fall at work so my knee is a little bruised and fell on my palms of hand, kind of sore as my shoulders and joints because I was by the time clock and something snagged on my pant leg and it was enough to wear. It got under my foot and I went skating as I call it. My grandson was standing right there. I think I scared the crap out of them, but I’ll be OK. I’m just sore at my age when you fall down you really feel it and then after I got off work and took the bank deposit to work. I have a picture up at on my Instagram. I bet there was a young man that passed out on his bicycle because the temperatures here in Arizona are above hundredsand the heat got to him and thank God there was a lot of us in the parking lot that saw it and responded to it before the fire department in the ambulance got there he’ll be OK but he’s got a bad boo-boo on his head

[fleet mist]

Oi! Yall out there sounding like my level clumsy! Be careful, would yah?!

(I say this with the utmost love and affection)

But for real, be careful, I'm glad its not worse!

[frail yarrow]

I hope you all get better soon injury wise!!!!!

[frail yarrow]

Sounds like you and I type of clumsy, huh??

[fleet mist]

100%

[distant echo]

@fleet mist we can start up the Stirlingite clutz club

[fleet mist]

Oh my goodness right

[distant echo]

I’ll be fine. I’m just gonna be sore because I’ve fallen like this before at work on ice last year and kind of messed up my elbow a little bit made it where I had to go to physical therapy for a little bit, but I’m not doing that routine again I already know what to do if I have to, but I’m just gonna take it easy and hopefully not do that again for a while… lol

[tardy cipher]

My mom would be happy to join! 😄

She always brags about tripping going up the stairs.

[fleet mist]

Honestly between Connie, Lindsey (yes, Stirling), you, and me- we have a decent start 🤣

[frail yarrow]

I scratched my chin earlier with my own fingernail. I wasn't trying to scratch it either.

[fleet mist]

And Mama Gengar and we got a good club 🤣

Can say I also joined the nose bleed club. My allergies have turned my respiratory system into a complete mess

[tardy cipher]

For me, I just have to stand up and my knees pop like 4 times.

[keen oyster]

Hey guys - I am going to take ownership of the mass deleting of messages on here. I know we may not all find all other fans to be our cup of tea however, we never have been, nor will we ever be, the group that publicly talks about another fan, regardless of how...deep their fanaticism runs.

This isn't that anyone is in trouble or being reprimanded. I just want to tread lightly because I know we all take great pride in this being a community that lifts people up. I love that about our little corner of the world and I really want to keep it that way.

I obviously can't and won't stop you from sharing your experiences with one another privately because, odds are, if your spidey senses tell you something is wrong, you're probably right and you're probably not the only one sensing it.

That said if you EVER feel as though something is feeling off about another fan or post online or a social media account you've found...anything that feels off, PLEASE, PLEASE send a Modmail or a DM or ping Benji or I and we can make the Modmail for you if you don't know how. Just say "hey, can we modmail chat?" and we got you. We take this stuff very seriously so anything you say to us is 1) confidential and 2) taken seriously and is looked into.

I would MUCH rather you guys bring a post or account or whatever, to our attention and it be nothing rather than it be something and we don't see it.

I know all of these messages were coming from a place of love and concern and validation to one another that you are all having similar feelings/vibes about a possible concern.

We want this to be a safe place and I never want another fan to think that we allow or encourage a group to talk about another fan. While we do often have the same feelings when something feels off, I don't want to encourage the public put down of another fan, regardless of their behavior.

Hoping off the soapbox now. Thank you guys! 💕

[cedar oyster]

Thank you Laci. I admittedly regret some things I said and did earlier and your message made me sort of snap out of that. If nothing good can be said, ignoring may be the best option. I really, really appreciate you always promoting to spread positivity even if it’s someone we don’t agree with, as it shows great strength and character. I apologize if I was hateful in any way.

[keen oyster]

No, no. Please. I promise no one has to apologize. And no one is being singled out or called out. It's good for all of us honestly. It's fully normal to see behavior that you realize is a little unordinary and want to discuss it, especially with people who are in your community!

Its just such a fine line of discussing for concern vs discussing with opinions involved. I would hate for anyone to leave a conversation worried that we may allow discussion w/opinions about them, if they aren't on here any longer, ya know?

There weren't any messages that I deleted that seemed to be more of a bashing or anything like that, I just didn't want to give it the option to go that way either. It was precautionary mostly. And a friendly reminder that we genuinely encourage you to reach out if there's even a remote hint that something feels off in a post or with a fan.

No one needs to feel bad or be regretful. I promise. It was purely to keep our happy place just that, our happy place. 🙂

[tardy cipher]

Thanks Laci!

[opaque shell]

That is a lot for one day, oh my gosh 😦

[opaque shell]

This is super important, especially the last thing you said!

[opal siren]

I can be quite clumsy when doing things… I read something about links between ADHD and dyspraxia so maybe that comes from there

[steep thorn]

New merch idea: Stirlingite-branded bubble wrap outfits. 🤡

[fleet mist]

We need Lindsey to get in on that HAHA

[opaque shell]

That'll be funny xD

[distant echo]

Yeap!!!!

[fleet mist]

The Super Silly Stirlingites

[distant echo]

Need to sic her on my customers today… lol 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Actually had a customer ask me at 9 in the morning, “Are you serving French Fries?” “Sorry No, we are on our Breakfast menu right now.””Isn’t French Fries a breakfast thing?” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[fleet mist]

I WHUT

Nah. McDonald's breakfast hashbrown is superior in the morning to French fries anyway!

Also- I always question people who want burgers, fries, and fried chicken at 10:30 am (when my Shake Shack opens)

Like. Why so early? At least be a normal person and get a shake at that time to make you last till dinner-

[distant echo]

I’m well Arizona I get asked for ice cream at 8 o’clock in the morning so it’s not surprising but now they have breakfast thing has always been an issue since Covid because we used to have all day breakfast and we haven’t been back on the Old breakfast since then and it’s been sitting on on breakfast till 10:30 which was the old style for almost 50 years

[fleet mist]

Goodness. You know... fast food has really made me question so many people

[distant echo]

And I really loathe spellcheck

[fleet mist]

Mood.

[distant echo]

They’re lucky they didn’t get this one

[fleet mist]

I dont have the photo anymore but I love the cross stitched "Behold, my field of fucks, for it is barren."

It also depicts a barren field

[fleet mist]

Hehehe

[tardy cipher]

I just google image searched and found that. Haha

[distant echo]

Don’t know if I’ve shared this before but my daughter keeps church folks away with this

[fickle needle]

Ok that I will buy

Lol

[frail yarrow]

That's from the Jimmy Kimmel show! I watch that show every couple of nights when its on.

[fleet mist]

I LOVE THAT

OH MY GODS 🤣🤣🤣

CARLY ILYSM💕

[modern sedge]

Heads up, gonna be locking this thread up at the end of the week!
Same as #1371170211407073410

[distant echo]

We’ll still have access to the pictures and stuff and be able to read things right?

[regal vale]

I’m hoping so

[whole heart]

Yes. When Discord threads are locked, no new messages will be able to be added, but the content will still be viewable (unless the threads are privated entirely)

[fleet mist]

Thats actually really kind of sad... that they're both getting locked...

[modern sedge]

They'll be completely available, yes. I'm tempted to archive them off of Discord so people still have access, but realistically, everyone should at least have a copy of their photos/videos anyway

[tardy cipher]

Guess I should start posting in the thread huh?

I've done so many clips here and there... I forget what I have actually shared.

[frail yarrow]

You can search what you posted, right??

[tardy cipher]

Text yes. But a lot of times I just drop videos in with no caption.

[opaque shell]

Man to think you guys were at sea a month ago Friday!

[tardy cipher]

It doesn't seem like it's been that long already!

[opaque shell]

It feels like last week you guys got off the ship!

[fleet mist]

Right?!

[cedar oyster]

Thanks for the heads up Bemki!

ALL DAY IVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[tardy cipher]

Ally right now

Or maybe more like

[frail yarrow]

Was the cup empty or not tho??

[tardy cipher]

It had like a little drip in it left is all.

[frail yarrow]

Just wondered since Lindsey seemed intent on not letting it spill over.

[tardy cipher]

Overreacted... just a little bit. 🤣

[wooden ocean]

I know this'll be closed soon, and being a less than interactive person I'll still be here but pop in a lot less in general than i was here and cruise photos lol. Happy to enjoy the cruise time with my Stirlingite family!! 😊

[trail stag]

This is sadddd 😭 We should all post our group photos again!

[modern sedge]

Sorryyyyyy. Cruise is over and this is just becoming "general but photos and stuff"

[trail stag]

Same 🥹 I've loved having these subs where there are less people and people I know! I wish there could be a forever cruise one 😭

[trail stag]

😭😭 But yes you're right lol I guess the cruise can't be forever except in my head 😁

[trail stag]

Awww thanksss 😍🥹 I felt pretty 😁

[wooden ocean]

Totally understandable Benji! 😁 having managed discord before it can get nuts when you have chats that aren't closed so you end up with 1000+ channels and your searchbar crashes when anyone tries lol.

[wooden ocean]

Agreed Carly!! They're a lot more personable and you get to feel less like a crowded auditorium room of 10,000 people and more like the VIP section of a show.

[trail stag]

Perfect analogy 😍😭 It's so much easier to connect! Like the Halloween game. I'll keep doing my best to make it to lives etc but it's really hard for me 😭 I'll miss this.

[tardy cipher]

I mean... the Halloween game is still there. We're just ready for the next one that's all.

[fleet mist]

Maybe I'll do the Halloween game this year

[pliant monolith]

Maybe we should rename the thread Cruisers 2027! Then we'd have 2 more years of posting!

[tardy cipher]

I'm going through posting videos/photos in the other thread. I know there's a few less people following the other thread. #1371170211407073410

[regal vale]

Why not cruisers 2045? Lol 😆

[cedar oyster]

I just realized I have the power to close this thread too since I made it initially lmfao

[frail yarrow]

Nooooo don't dooo iiiittttt!!!!

[whole heart]

Yes. Yes, you do.

[wicked lily]

But you can't technically stop us from re-opening it, only the mods can do that.

Though Beansji has already put us on notice so it's only a matter of time.

[whole heart]

Correct. Only a matter of time now.

[trail stag]

You should change it to 2027 since it's continuing 😁

[trail stag]

OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT TO USE THE IM ON A BOAT SONG THE ENTIRE TIME 😅😭
