@jmh2006 Sending you and your family my sympathy for the loss of your father. 💐 MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

@Ozark_Kid and @Momof3gurlz You posted good advice. Thank you . MJ👩🏻

Something strange-I went to write a new post and the post about the cactus was still in the reply spot. I thought once a post appeared on the thread, it was gone from the reply area. Not sure about this? Anyway- @Momof3gurlz A friend of mine had both hips replaced at the same time. She was early sixties then. She had a great recovery. She will tell anyone that asks the reason for the recovery was that she followed all the Dr’s and PT’s directions thoroughly. It has been over ten years since the surgery and she is doing great-plays pickleball and golf. Wishing your DH great success with the surgery and aftercare. Wishing you good days too as his caregiver- hoping DH follows all your directions too!😉 @Sea Dog Just remembered about the dosage of Turmeric. Dr recommended 2,000 MGs I have read that it should not be taken in conjunction with BP medication but 2-3 hours after. I think someone else answered your question. My response is a day late and a dollar short, but hope it helps. MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

Going back to posts about Christmas and Easter cactus. My cactus has had buds for days and is finally starting to bloom. I am thinking that it may even be a Mother’s Day cactus as it will soon be May! MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

@Luckynana I started a thread with a question about mask mandates. Thread is on page 2. Title is Question for Recent Passengers on a RCL Ship. My DH read something online about mask mandates. We had a discussion that I thought it was no longer the case and the info he read was outdated. To end the discussion, I went in CC for info. A poster was giving me some difficulty about me posting the question and thought I was a troll. That poster’s comments have now been deleted. Several posters from Dani’s thread wrote some good things about me and defended my posting. Just to say-one bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch! Take care MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

@Ocean Boy Who knows the whys or wherefores?🤷🏻‍♀️ MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

When I consulted a neurologist for spinal stenosis, he recommended Tumeric for the inflammation. The only thing is, I need to remember to take it regularly! MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

@LadyZolt I have enjoyed following your journey as I have been reading your posts and admiring your photos. It is concerning for you to have to leave the ship halfway into the adventure, but you have certainly traveled to places that some of us will never see in person. Hoping your family situation is something that can be positively resolved. Take care MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

Bonnie-I think you are right about the Tootsie pop. That would be a good avatar for Graham as he is in the confectionary business and he has a sweet (as in pleasant) personality! MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

@Ocean Boy Maybe theposter got a warning, not a time out. I did notice their posts were deleted on “that” thread. I also could not get CC on my IPhone, but did get it on my iPad. So, not an individual problem but something with CC as a number of people experienced a glitch. It is a bright and sunny day on Eastern LI. Wishing all posting here a pleasant Saturday! MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

That’s okay @Coralc. I feel sorry for people who have to express themselves with such negativity. Wishing you a good night. MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you for the update @Ocean Boy. I hadn’t gone to that thread today. Apparently, CC is monitored for posts that make negative , pointed remarks to a fellow poster on a thread.Or, someone reported the poster. I had thought about reporting that poster, but thought if I didn’t respond to anything posted by that individual, they would get the messsge and give up. Take csre MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

@grapau27 Graham-I understand your situation. My DH has arthritis in his knees and back. Playing college football and rugby led to this present state. He also cannot take anti inflamatories due to compromised kidneys. He manages as best he can-some days better than others. Glad you got out to the beach. Seeing water is spirit uplifting. Our outing today is taking my car for inspection and oil change. It is a 20 minute drive from home, so we will take in the bright sunshine and flowering trees along the way. Wishing you and all who post here a pleasant day! MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

@h20skibum Both you and your wife participate in a very worthwhile and necessary program. Our parish church has a monthly food drive where food is collected after every Mass. Monetary donations are also collected. All proceeds of the drives are given to a local food pantry. Each parish in our area takes a weekend to provide donations to the pantry so there is an almost constant supply of goods and money provided. Every Christmas, there is a gift drive in our church where presents are collected for children in need as well as gift cards for seniors to use at CVS and our local supermarkets and there are also payments towards home heating oil deliveries for those who could truly benefit. My husband and I participate in the drives throughout the year. It is a simple thing to do, but it benefits many who need some help. We also live in an affluent area, but there are people who are stretched to the limit with their financial resources living here. From a distance, our area looks like an upscale place to live. Scratch a little under the surface and there are people who are struggling. Thankfully , there are programs and people who support the programs that make it a bit easier for our neighbors. Take care MJ🙋🏻‍♀️
