I'm a cruise organizer for Bare Necessities Tour and Travel, a nudist-cruise company. I spend all year planning our two cruises: a February trip aboard our Big Nude Boat, a large cruise ship that has 3,000 passengers, and a smaller cruise in the summer.

Back in 1997, a friend who was a staff photographer with Bare Necessities was looking for a married couple to join their next cruise and appear in some promotional photos.

My husband and I are confident in front of an audience. I have a background in theater and was running a singing-telegram company while he worked as an on-air meteorologist. We'd been skinny-dipping with friends before and felt comfortable, and the cruise was in Tahiti, which sealed the deal.

I went on their cruises and volunteered for more than a decade before becoming a full-time employee

We worked as models on our first cruise, and decided to return over the next decade to work as general staff. We'd answer questions and help with small things, like making sure guests keep a towel between themselves and their seats.

In 2010, the company wanted to hire a sales associate who spoke German — nudism is very big in Germany. My German is good enough, so I threw my hat in the ring.

I'm based in Austin, and I've been a full-time employee of Bare Necessities since 2010.

It is about seeing that he is in charge. Trump was clearly in charge. When the china virus hit he was front and center taking it seriously. Out there daily. With Biden one gets the impression that he is barely there and who knows who is really running things. That the docs just dope him up when he needs to be seen and for only as long as needed.

I like Rand and a few other reds, but these reds never do anything other than make striking comments (see link below).

We already knew the government was corrupt and non-credible (most of us anyway).


So what are you going to do about it Rand?

Absolutely nothing.


This is why I question loyalty even though it looks like a person is loyal to the people.

Some of us know we can't trust MSM (including Fox), because they're on the misinformation side (government).


So providing a source link to prove a point from the government (such as the CDC), it's like leaving a CNN source link.

It's not credible.


It's a big problem because most citizens don't know what to believe.

Sen. Rand Paul: U.S. Government Was ‘Greatest Purveyor of Disinformation’ During the Pandemic

“Instead of focusing on real threats like this, DHS was internally strategizing on how it can expand social media censorship of Americans using third-party non-profits as, in the words of a CISA official who said, ‘a clearing house for information to avoid the appearance of government propaganda,’” he said.

Yeah? What's my alternative? Just do the Evangelical thing and present my opinions as incontrovertible fact without citing anything?

I often preface a citation with, "Assuming this is true," as it is.

Obviously, I'm cognizant of the fact that some things are probably untrue, but the alternative would be to simply not even attempt to discuss things in an intelligent way.
