WELDON

Melody, Great looking deck. The railing really adds to it. Very nice job.

Hi Lois, The only time I have been asked is if I'm in a discussion with others and we all talk about where our families came from. Never in a store by a cashier. I had an MD appt. this morning and had a cognitive test for the first time. I was given a piece of paper with a circle and had to show the clock hands for the time asked. I was also given 3 words and then had to repeat them after the clock drawing. Maybe this is something new this year for Medicare??

Hi Melody, Great picture. That is very flattering haircut. You look like you are ready for a party.

Hi Lois, Everything is very well marked, When I went on my British Isles cruise, I took a train to Paddington Station from Heathrow. I had no trouble following signage as to where to buy my ticket, where the trains depart, and when I arrived at Paddington, where to get a taxi. I stayed in London one night before the cruise. You should have no trouble if you follow signs to arrivals and baggage claim. Everything is very straightforward. As Cynthia mentioned, there is only one way to go.

I watched it too. William's kids were so well behaved and looked so cute. How many 5 yr olds could sit through something like that? Kate looked beautiful as always.

If you can't use an escalator. there is always the elevator.

Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. Haven't missed working at all since I retired.

The tool I mentioned did come with the disposal. I hope this is all that is needed to fix Lois's disposal.

Lois, The same thing happened to me when I returned from my cruise in January. I called my handyman and he used a tool that made the disposal work. It looks like an S shaped tool. He told me this can happen when a disposal isn't used. It worked like a charm. If your plumber doesn't try to reset (not sure of the term) your disposal and wants to sell you a new one, please mention your disposal wasn't used for a couple of weeks.

Welcome home, Lois. I did a British Isles cruise several years ago visiting England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. It was one of my favorite trips.

I would choose one low shoe and one mid boot.

Hi Melody, Beautiful pictures and the outfit really suits you. Glad to hear you are doing well with PT. You seem to be making good progress. FLL airport opened at 9 this morning. I'm sure a lot of people are supposed to be flying in. Next week is school vacation in Massachusetts and I'm sure other states as well. So you have the cruising people and people who are just coming to FL for vacation.

I always book a Central Park balcony on Oasis class ships. It is my favorite cabin category. I usually get a cabin on deck 10.

Hi Lois, Have a fun and safe trip. Enjoy the sights. I have several Baggalini bags that I use for travel. Even small ones hold a lot and they seem to hold up well. They are lightweight and easy to carry.

Thanks, Lois. I'll take look at this hotel.

I am going on a cruise in August leaving from NYC. Any hotel recommendations? I would prefer something midtown.

Lois, Hope you have a wonderful birthday Saturday. It's nice you have family coming to celebrate with you. Yes, it's true when you look back and wonder where have all the years gone. Janet

So many of you are fans of Noosa so I thought I might try the frozen yogurt. I looked at the nutritional info and the frozen yogurt has, depending on the flavor, 33 grams or so of sugar. I also looked at the yogurt and it averages 30+ grams of sugar. No wonder it tastes so good.

Melody, Great news about your progress. Nice pictures. Enjoy wearing all your new clothes.

According to TV Guide, the guests on Ina's show are March 5 - Misty Copeland, March 12 - Stanley Tucci, March 19 - Laura Linney and March 26 - Norah Jones.

Melody - Glad to hear you're doing well after surgery. That's good news. Cynthia - Happy Birthday. Melissa - Hope your brother has an easy recovery.

The Oasis class ships on RC have a basketball court. They also have mini golf. Celebrity is probably not the best choice for a teenage boy. I was on Celebrity a week ago and there were 3 children on board.

I also have Morton's. I generally buy Vionic sandals. These work best for me. I also buy LLBean Boothbay slide sandals. For me, these sandals have saved me when I have had foot or ankle problems. Around the house, I wear athletic sandals (I don't know the correct name). Men and women wear this style and men usually wear these with socks. These sandals are so comfortable because of the sole. I think the key think about buying footwear if you have Morton's is buying a supportive sole. Forget about thin or flimsy footwear. As for colors, you can't go wrong with black, nude, white or a metallic.

You can still get salmon and chicken every night. There is a choice of 4 entrees plus an Indian dish. I don't eat red meat or pork. I noticed pork is on the menu more often with entrees such as pork cheek or pork knuckle. Pasta and seafood entrees were decent.
