I need the advice and wisdom of Lounge Board participants
I live on a river in NE North Carolina. Each year I cleanup my pontoon boat seats. Despite a cover they get some debris, mold,etc.
The debris and mold typically are treated with Wal Mart spray liquid that has a little ammonia in it. It’s been working fine for 10-15 years.
This year the debris mold was a bit heavier than normal and my normal treatment of the vinyl seating ( all white)is not working. One of my neighbors suggested using Mr Clean type sponges and that doesn’t work
Wonder if the board members have ideas or recommendations?
Thanks

Dex to UT
Per 247
Was pretty obvious he was looking for something VT was not offering
Otherwise he would have accepted the offer weeks ago
Franklin has some other good options
Plenty of good coaches with interest in a revitalized VT program

Have you been to Bermuda?
We are going soon on a 6 day cruise out of Norfolk.
We are in our 70s , we are not cruisers, we have a small but socially active neighborhood, 6 other couples are going.
Once we get there we have signed up for a bus tour of the island. Nothing else booked or scheduled. We are not lay on the sunny bleach people.
Any recommendations or advice appreciated

Cause that’s where the ball can be knocked loose
Creating the fumble is 1A and making the tackle is 1B
And besides it’s easier to try to tackle the body than get kicked in the face tackling the legs

Traveling abroad from Dulles
And want to find a hotel where I can park a car preferably in a covered garage.
Will spend a night at the hotel prior to departure and upon return. About 20 days total
I’ve done this kind of thing before on several occasions but can’t remember who we used. My wife says one we used was likely a Hyatt
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated
Thanks

Would like advice regarding Refundable airline tickets vs travel insurance
and per-existing condition limitations coverage.
we are planning to travel abroad and we routinely purchase travel insurance for medical coverage and most importantly medical evacuation if needed. We are in our 70's and in reasonable health. Trip is planned for late May and first week of June
We are wanting to buy tickets now for better connections and pricing
I have recently been diagnosed with a medical condition that may impact my ability top travel- wondering
1-I assume travel insurance negates the need for refundable airline tickets- would welcome advice if the assumption is incorrect
2-When looking at travel insurance I found script like the following:
===================================================
Pre-Existing Medical Condition is an illness, disease, or other condition during the Look-Back Period for which You or Your Traveling Companion, Business Partner or Family Member scheduled or booked to travel with You:
1) received or received a recommendation for a test, examination, or Medical Treatment for a condition which first manifested itself, worsened or became acute or had symptoms which would have prompted a reasonable person to seek diagnosis, care or treatment; or
2) took or received a prescription for drugs or medicine.
Item (2) of this definition does not apply to a condition which is treated or controlled solely through the taking of prescription drugs or medicine and remains treated or controlled without any adjustment or change in the required prescription throughout the Look-Back Period before coverage is effective under this Policy.
Benefits are not normally paid due to a Pre-Existing Condition, as defined in the Policy.
Look Back Period
This is the period of time immediately prior to the Effective Date of Your coverage – when you buy your policy.
This is the period of time that the Carrier concerns itself with new conditions, changes to condition, recommendations for treatment, new or changed medications. If none of this has occurred within the Look-Back Period, you do not have a Pre-Existing Medical Condition, as far as is defined by the Travel Insurance Carrier.
You have a ‘Stable Condition’, which is covered.
Waiver of Look Back
The Exclusion for the Pre-Existing Condition will be Waived provided:
a) Your payment is received within 20 days of the initial trip payment or deposit; and
b) You are not disabled from travel at the time Your premium is paid.
Time Sensitive Period
The number of days between initial payment of any trip costs and the purchase of the Travel Insurance Policy. The policy must be bought within the Time Sensitive Period in order to benefit from any Pre-Existing Medical Condition Waiver that is offered.
============================================================================
We are going to buy the travel insurance asap
Also I am currently taking medication to treat the diagnosed condition
Given these parameters I believ I am exempted from Pre Existing condition exclusions
Comments or perspective appreciated
Any travel insurance companies you woukl recommend for or against?
Thanks in advance

Is VT recruiting Jared Goodson at Poquoson HS
likely 3 time State Champion- Wondering about the quality of wrestling in that division and if he will likely wrestle at a large school following HS
I know nothing about wrestling- read the headlines in the paper

Rain trip Norfolk to Philadelphia
Earlier this week, I posted a question in the lounge regarding a trip from Norfolk to Philadelphia on Amtrak.
The responses were great , very helpful, and much appreciated
One final question for those of you who have taken the trip concerns the route the train will take. Specifically does the train stop in and around Richmond in route to Philadelphia?
Many thanks

Given your analysis
And it sounds reasonable to me, why do you think Mike Young would tie up a scholarship ( conceivably for multiple years) on Poteat.
Does he need practice bodies, or does he see a potential contributor that you may not see.

20 out of 20 objective fans could easily
Understand why Reid would choose Gonzaga over VT.
They are an exceptional Basketball Team.
When VT or any school is vying for that level of talent…. You don’t win them all
But of course you know all this…
