  1. She is moving from the Gold Coast in Chicago so she is used to high prices but this overly protective, nervous mom is not! I'm flying out with her about a week before she starts work so that will give us time to look around. Thanks.
  2. Thanks! I guess the cities you mentioned haven't changed since we lived there 30 years ago. I'll tag Helen but is seems like she is going to pay a lot to be somewhere nice, safe and close.
  3. My daughter is a travel nurse and starts a new contract on Jan 2. She will be in Palo Alto CA at Stanford Medical and there aren't very many Airbnb close to the hospital. Can any recommend any nice, safe cities that are near there? She doesn't have a car so she will be using Uber. Thanks!
  4. I can't imagine putting my baby at risk for the sake of a cruise. My IVF twins were born at 29 weeks and weighed 3.5 and 4 pounds. Everyone was very surprised at their size along with no medical intervention needed. If this womans info is accurate, she and her baby are very lucky.
  5. I have been fortunate to have cruised 4 times and flown a few times within the last year and come home covid free until now. We have been home for 9 days so I don't know if I can blame it on the cruise or the many other things I've done since. It really doesn't matter. I woke up a little congested, decided to test and the second line appeared immediately. No other symptoms.
  6. We were on Oasis last week and our Genie told us that he just called a family that won their bid from a JR suite to a 2 bedroom aqua theater suite.
  7. We were on Oasis last week and had an amazing time.
  8. I'm on the same page as you and wondering what I missed except I'm in FL. We are closing our business tomorrow along with school closures.
  9. When we got married 33 years ago I wanted the guests to walk away remembering the food. We had and eight course sit-down dinner with a full dessert table. I did want a cake but not the traditional white cake that was the norm at the time. I chose cheesecake and was told it couldn't be done by a few bakers. I finally found one that made a 3 tier cheesecake that was decorated like a wedding cake.
  10. Our fridge only had a one year warranty and it broke at 14 months. It's so nice that your friends cleaned out your fridge. Our daughter didn't have much time before evacuating but she did throw out anything that could spoil and when we went down the weekend after Ian I told her to just get rid of everything and start over. She had no power for over a week.
  11. We have a Whirlpool and haven't been as lucky as you. Ours stopped dispensing ice about 3 weeks ago and then stopped making ice before the repairman got here. He said it was a design flaw with wiring going from the freezer to the door. Every time the door is opened the wires are pulled and eventually break. Repairing the wires is a temp fix and a new door is the best solution. About $1000. It's 14 months old. I called Whirlpool and they were nice to offer a one time courtesy repair. Our new door will be here in 8-10 weeks. It is shipped directly to us and then we call for an appointment to have it installed.
  12. My mom wanted to be buried with her cats that had passed before her. We call the funeral director and asked if we could do it and he wouldn't say yes or no, only that we would have time alone with her. We quickly placed 8 urns of ashes beside her along with pictures of her cats and grandchildren. My husband and I have decided to be cremated so one of will be in a box waiting for the other. Our kids know to mix some ashes of our dogs to ours and spread the ashes at sea.
  13. We woke up to a nice cool temp of 55 this morning. No matter how cold it gets in our house I don't think we have ever turned on the heat. I can't breathe with it so we just add blankets and layers of clothes. Even when visiting our daughter in Chicago and vacationing in the Alps in the winter a window stays open and no heat is turned on, except in the bathroom. Cold toilet seats aren't nice. My grandmother always said that you needed fresh air regardless of the temp.
  14. I was diagnosed with gall stones when I was pregnant and was also told it was common in pregnancy. With no family living near by and being new to the area I had no help during the day for the twins and 5 year old but I did have night nurses so I did get enough sleep to function during the day.
  15. My first thought was the yoga instructor in Couples Retreat but Along came Polly is a good one too!
  16. Mine was done almost 28 years ago so I don't remember exactly how long the recovery was but it couldn't have been too long as I had to take care of 6 week old twins. My husband remembers about 7-10 days. I hope Jims recovery is easy and quick.
