Being not shown he just gets clippers ran over him every month or so, (takes half hour tops) the fact that they don’t shed much if at all makes them less work that the Dalmatians who left fur everywhere. If we were showing him it would be a lot more work with hand stripping and skirts and fluffier legs. Ithen run a brush through his beard a couple of times a week, especially if he has been getting something a bit sticky like ice cream. -
8 nights, 6 in Port, only way I persuaded herself to go.

One cruise we left 2 cents behind, Mrs G still brings it up at times “We should have seen if the casino had a 2c machine” or “that extra bottle of L’Ocotain (sp) would only have cost $49.98”.

Yeah I doubt you’d get 2 1/2

Always the best option, but in the case make sure your doctor understands what is involved when cruising.

I am an Aussie and sail Australia, if you book and sail here there are no added tips. I never tip as I go, been known to tip at the end, not always not everyone, always try to be nice to the crew, always had great service, drink on the bar as I walk up, recognised a year later with a voice from the back calling out, Give her a Diet Coke, largest glass we have, plenty of ice no straw her hubby will have the package. But if you want to tip as you go, I’d just slip them a 5 every half dozen drinks. Coins would be a pain for both you and them.

Yeah I had a concession card till I gave up work, go figure, and not old enough for seniors health card, plus Mrs G still earns a pretty good income. -
Not too bad though.

Interesting. Mrs G bought frozen plutos (Dagwood dogs or whatever name where you are, the other day, not bad, but certainly not great value about the size of a cocktail Frank and 5 for $4 something

And please other than the unadjustable passenger seat we love the RAV4, ours is a Hybrid and the fuel economy is incredible, if we do go to the Kluger it will be another Hybrid I expect we may take a couple of test drives next school holidays. When we bought our first Lexus looked at the hybrid but there was a $10k premium now it is only $2k, had it about 18 months and it has aleardy just about repaid the extra, plus they will give us all but the same money on a trade in as we paid, demand is so high.

He dropped medicine and went into computing. Funny my old Doc always charged a gap, he had a stroke and I had to find a new Dr, eventually went back to a bloke I had used 20 years ago most visits ended with me saying “Barry you can’t bulk bill me every visit, you have to make a living too” now he retired both Mrs G and I see a young girl at his practice she too always bulk bills me, but normally charges Mrs Gut a gap. Many of my visits are by phone though, or just deal with while Mrs G is seeing her. Both the female Gut’s have been known to come home and say things like “Be nice if the doctor asked how I was (all three mentioned above) but no first question is always how is Geoff”. see told youse all I’m spethshial. -

Not good, torn meniscus can be awful, and it is amazing how an injury to one part (your knee) can cause problems elsewhere *your back). The human body is an amazing machine -
You will find we are happy to try and help, I notice you posted on the Ports section and got crickets, that part tends to get few visitors, I’ve never been sure why CC have them both. Indeed most Aussies are happy to help anyone who asks nicely, or often if they don’t ask but seem a bit lost.

When my son was in Med school and I would ask what some stuff meant he would answer “Hey dad, my medical opinion is that it means your back is cactus”. Funnily when they started exploring these mini strokes they did a CT angiogram and the Specialist said “This vertebral artery is gooooone the other not much better” I asked the cause he said we’ll look here, here, here and here, your neck is cactus. I knew then that he knew his stuff. -

Reading these things is an art. I can read spinal MRI reports near on as good as the doctors, the side vies films the same, but the top view films still confuse me. I can do spine CTs pretty well too, but every now and then need to resort to the medical dictionary. -
How do like your Eggs Benedict eggs made......
GUT2407 replied to BklynBoy8's topic in Cruise Foodies
Now my preference is English Muffin (Sourdough toast 2nd pick) thinly sliced ham (bacon 2nd pick) poached egg, firm white runny yolk, fairly thick Hollandaise sauce, if it is browned slightly via torch or under grill is great. Then when served cracked pepper. And just keep bringing them till I say stop, if I ever do. -

Not good mate, I think like me you need to learn when to take it easy. -
Oh yeah as only a cat can.

RAV4 (which may be your highlander) it’s pretty good I just wish I’d gone to the Kluger, slightly bigger with more adjustments on the passenger seat, didn’t matter when we bought it as I never used the passenger seat, but when I gave up driving we found that for me the passenger seat is a touch high (drivers seat has three memories and adjustable about 10 ways) the Lexus had power and memory both sides and we just didn’t consider that within six months of buying the RAV I would decide that I shouldn’t be driving at all.
