  1. Sharon, I was on Celebrity, but looking at the HAL website there is a special requirements form here https://book.hollandamerica.com/specialServices/login.action. I can't access it as I don't have a booking, but I found the form elsewhere and there is a place to ask for a needle disposal . But as already mentioned, you can probably just ask your steward for one.
  2. Sharon, when I went on my TA this year, then 3 weeks in Germany, I bought a case that is for insulin syringes and has cold packs. I stored the medication in the fridge on the ship, and in Germany. I asked for a sharps container on the ship using the special needs form prior to cruising, and just packed the syringe used in Germany in the case to bring home. Now I'm back on these big pens for injections, which had been unavailable for a while.
  3. Outside my door. This was a while ago, so there’s more snow now.
  4. Good morning. Thanks for the FR/Daily @kazu and @richwmn. Beans are nutritious. I'll salute 3 Kings Day, and start putting away the few decorations I put up. I have been a mentor during my work days, and appreciate those who mentored me in the past (early for Jan 7). I'll have to think about the quote. I'll pass on the meal, drink and wine. I have been to Milford Sound. It's 35F and snowing for the last hour. I got about 3 hours of sleep last night, without taking anything. I'll be in for the weekend, doing some tidying up as my leg allows. I also have a diamond dot kit I want to start, as well as the picture of us puzzle that BFF gave me for Christmas. For the first time I have hired someone to do snow removal, as I don't think I could manage that. @StLouisCruisers Great photos of both Milford Sound and South Georgia Island. @Seasick Sailor I hope your niece and fiancé have mild cases. Sorry to hear about your friend having falls. @aliaschief Enjoy the sea day. Wow on that sunrise. @Crazy For Cats I get the same response when I take my car in; it's 9 years old and I don't have 30k miles on it yet, although I'm close now. @tjcox9 Wow, that's a lot of penguins! @ottahand7 Good looking meal. Go Steelers! 😉 @quilty964 Thanks for sharing a photo of you and Cooper. Are you on Rotterdam on the 26th? @Mr. Boston Safe travels today. They say Boston might get lots of snow. @RMLincoln You're getting a lot done! It's nice that so many services are available right on campus. I worry about getting to my winter appointments if the weather is bad. Speaking of eye drops, I opened a new bottle, shook it, and the drops didn't come out creamy white like they should. I used them 2 days and my eye didn't feel right, so I tossed them and opened another bottle that came out the right color. @smitty34877 Prayers that the issues you're having settle down and that the hospice nurse can help. @ukpylot Have a great cruise and Welcome to the Daily! @Suslor Sorry you had to cancel. Rest and recover from your Covid episode, and look forward to the Far East cruise. @VMax1700 We'd love to have those temps for winter! @Norseh2o My deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of your DM. It was great that the family could be with her. I hope your memories will be of comfort to you all. @1ANGELCAT Prayers for your friend Debbi and her DH. It's so hard. I watched dementia affect my DM. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

  6. Sandi, my Antarctica cruise on the Zaandam was a Christmas-New Year's cruise in 2018/19, but we went to the Falklands. I'd be game to go again!
  7. Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I'm not a birder, but like birds if they leave my car alone! I've done low carb, but not keto. I'm glad screenwriters are back at work. Good quote. Pass on the meal (fish), and wine. The drink looks ok. I have not been to Egypt. Interesting days in history. It's 35F and partly sunny. They're predicting 2"-5" of snow over the weekend. It's been a good news, bad news day. The good is that I think due to all the Benadryl I slept 5 hours last night! Then fell back asleep at 9AM and slept another hour. I feel so much better today with some decent sleep. I went to PT, then to pick up some prescriptions. Unfortunately the pharmacy closes from 1:30 to 2. I wasn't going to make another trip, so I sat in the parking lot for 15 minutes. When I got home I called the imaging scheduling regarding the spine injection procedure. The lady who answered was nice but couldn't find any paperwork. 😠 She put me on hold and looked all over. So she also gave me the doctor's fax number and I had to call Neurosurgery late this Friday afternoon, and have the requisition refaxed to both scheduling and the radiologist's office. She even called me back to say both faxes went through. So did I just waste 10 days thinking things were proceeding? @aliaschief and @DWAliaschief Bon Voyage! @Crazy For Cats Tucker is very handsome. @ottahand7 Nice to see you two and your meals. @seagarsmoker I'm glad you're continuing to feel better. Good luck with the job situation. @StLouisCruisers Great photos. I'm jealous you got to go to South Georgia Island. Very sad about the slain officer. @smitty34877 I hope your day was better today. Prayers for you and Tana. @marshhawk No coffee is a true emergency! Sorry you can't monitor your blood sugar, and I'm sure your Endocrinologist won't be happy. But maybe your A1C will help tell how you're doing. @Horizon chaser 1957 Safe travels home. @bennybear That's a great owl photo. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those with something to Celebrate.

  9. Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @kazu and @richwmn. 3 good days. The quote is nonsensical. I like the meal and drink. Pass on the wine. I haven't been to Loreto. It's 32F and cloudy. There was snow on the rooftops and grass this AM, but roads are fine. Yesterday the Rheumatologist was very sympathic toward my plight, but it's really out of her area of expertise. She did find a couple of small rheumatoid nodules on the inner aspect of my fingers. I got about 4 hours of sleep, having taken Benadry for my RA injection last evening. @Denise T Congrats on working toward your doctorate. @dfish Welcome back to the Daily meal, and thanks to TIna @0106 for helping out. I like the first recipe, as I'm a big fan of Skinnytaste recipes. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for the continued travelogue. Too bad that day you and DH couldn't get on the zodiac. Happy Birthday to Jen and Ashley! @aliaschief Have a great cruise! @seagarsmoker I'm glad you're finally feeling better. @VMax1700 I hope all is ok with your DW. @ger_77 Good to hear you don't need surgery. I've had shoulder surgery and it's not fun. @Mtn2Sea Great photos. @marshhawk Great news that the Keytruda is working for DH! @St Pete Cruiser Welcome home! @Quartzsite Cruiser Lovely photos from Loreto. @NextOne Sorry about the furnace news. @richwmn Thanks for the info.

  11. @aliaschief I think it's the size of the photos. If you can decrease the MP that might work.
  12. Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Festival of Sleep - I wish! I am a big Tolkien fan. Remember you die day I suppose is to reflect on our lives. Good quote. I like the meal. Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Richards Bay. 4 important days in history. It's 31 and cloudy. A little snow tomorrow, but we'll see what we get this weekend. Sleep eluded me last night as I couldn't get comfortable. I got about 2.5 hours. I have my Rheumatology appointment this morning. Then I need to read the contract for my house repair. 3 rooms downstairs will get the floors sanded, stained and sealed, in order that they match. We're going to wait until the spring, as to replace the radiator, the boiler will need to be drained and we don't want to do that in the cold of winter. Bon Voyage to all our dailyites embarking on cruises today! @aliaschief Safe travels. @Denise T Great job on better eating and moving more. @kazu Great news about Ivan; he's lucky to have you as his Mom! Good luck with physio today. @rafinmd Thanks for the maps. @StLouisCruisers Enjoying the travelogue. I love the penguin pendant. @smitty34877 I'm glad you had a good day there yesterday and that you were able to relax. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

  14. Good afternoon. Thanks for the FR/Daily. No cats here or buffet today. I hope to have motivation and inspiration for a good 2024. Typical Dangerfield quote. The meal sounds good, but it will be leftover pork and sauerkraut today. Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Casablanca. A great day in history. It's cool and cloudy here. I was up way too late watching college football last night! I got my usual 4 hours of sleep, although I got a bit more by nodding off while watching the morning news. I have PT late this afternoon, otherwise no plans. I see my Rheumatologist tomorrow. I'll need to use the rollator, and I know she'll be shocked by that. @mamaofami Happy Birthday to Sam! @RMLincoln Happy Anniversary! @StLouisCruisers Happy Birthday to your DDIL! Great photos from Casablanca, Antarctica and your Quest stateroom. @kazu Thanks for starting us up today.
