Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Charlie the Tuna was a great marketing tool. Drowsy driving is as unsafe as drunk driving, and should be avoided. I'm not a Hostess Twinkie fan. Ok quote. Seems like we just had this meal. I've not made a whole chicken in my air fryer. Pass on the drink and I think I've had this wine. I haven't been to Niigata. A great day in history for us photography buffs, even though we've moved away from film. It's cloudy here and in the low 40's. Brrr. The furnace has been running more again. I'm sleepy; 3.5 hours sleep seems to be my norm lately. Maybe I can get a nap in later. I'll still work on putting things back in the 3 rooms. I have 2 mantle scarves that need to be ironed before I can put stuff back there. Welcome home @Cruising-along, @durangoscots, @cruising sister and @Cruisercl! @Heartgrove Congrats on all the new cruise bookings. I'm glad Sam is hanging in there. @RedneckBob I'm glad they tried to keep people out of the aisles or on stairs at shows on the ship; that's very annoying if they block your view (plus unsafe). @RMLincoln Good luck with the taxes. I got a letter yesterday from PA Dept of Revenue. I had a penalty for underpaying estimated taxes. But in their generosity, they were waiving it - the whole $5.59! @grapau27 Thank you. I hope so too. @marshhawk I'm glad your friends were ok after the tornado. @Seasick Sailor Thanks. I don't want to seem self-serving, so as long as I'm on the list, last is fine. Your patio is very nice. @ger_77 Enjoy brunch with Wayne and Fran. @0106 Your dinner sounds yummy. I'm not a seafood person, but will eat a good crabcake. @aliaschief Wow, great photos. Thanks for sharing. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

Nice long and strong toots!

Nice zoom. More toots! The two ships tooting at each other.

Early Toots!

Just shifted the view.

Oosterdam is moving.

Departure toot?

Good afternoon. Thanks for the FR/Daily @kazu @richwmn and maps @rafinmd. I will certainly salute Gold Star Spouses for their sacrifices to our country. No going for broke here. The world would be a better place if more inhabitants had a conscience. Fun quote. Maybe on the meal. Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Bergen. It's a cool, windy day, with snow squalls. And it's opening day for the baseball team. People will need to dress like for a football game, as wind chills are in the 20's. The rivers are finally dropping their very high levels, and some highways have opened back up. Sleep was about the same for me, 3.5 hours. I had PT, then straight back home for a mid-day coffee and bagel. The person came yesterday to clean, although I think I need to wipe one wall down again. I'd like to start putting some things back in place, as able. Monday, BFF and I are traveling to Erie, to visit a friend and watch the eclipse from their yard. I hope it's not too cloudy. In 2017 we drove to Tennessee, and although it was partly cloudy we had a good view. @lobsternight Bon Voyage! @NextOne Happy Birthday! @GTVCRUISER Welcome Home! @StLouisCruisers Lovely photos from Bergen. How scary for Austin! It was always surprising to me that you could have eaten or been exposed to something with no issues, then one day you're allergic. He definitely needs to get tested. I'm glad he's ok. @rafinmd I hope the echocardiogram shows nothing further of concern. @Cruzin Terri I'm sorry to hear you were ill, but glad you're back now. And good you got your cleaning person back. It's for the best, but of course Jim won't like being told he shouldn't drive. @dfish I'm glad the eye is better. I hope your weather Monday is at least partly sunny. @kazu Oh my on your weather! I hope you're feeling better. @Quartzsite Cruiser Great photos. Thanks. @smitty34877 I'm sorry to hear the aide cancelled last night and hope she is able to work tonight. Being up twice is still hard, but I'm glad it wasn't more. Prayers for Tana, her son, you and the whole family. @Seasick Sailor Thanks for the photos of the bluebonnets. @ger_77 You have warmer temps than here! @kochleffel Sorry you had some trouble sleeping. I guess you felt the earthquake that was centered in NJ. @marshhawk Tigger is handsome. @bennybear @AroundWithMAPTravels @dfish Thanks for the Bergen photos. @Norseh2o Lovely sunrise! Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Very sad. I read that it was very late at night (like 3-4 AM) and the young man and another guy were in the hot tub. They were leaving for the elevators when his father approached. They argued about his underage drinking, the 20 year old said he'd "fix it", and jumped overboard, to the horror of those there.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Jeeps can be fun. Interesting that Victims of Violence Wholly Day marks the anniversary of MLK's assassination. I will honor all victims of violence. Vitamin C is important for health. Interesting quote. Oh no, I have no leftovers here! Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Galway. A good day in history. Today also marks the tragic loss of 3 police officers here on 4/4/2009. It's cloudy and cool here, with rain/snow showers. Still lots of roads closed due to flooding, especially downtown where there are 3 rivers. Also lots of creeks flooding, threatening some businesses and homes. I'm fine. The person is here cleaning the rooms affected by the radiator leak. I've been up since 3:50AM, so I hope I can get a nap later. @aliaschief Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. @Haljo1935 Tough decisions between your eye procedures and your shoulder surgery. @Heartgrove Good to hear you've come up with alternative cruise plans. @summer slope Nice to hear that Mike is making some progress. @dfish Sorry it's going to take a few days to see improvement with the eye. If it doesn't improve, go get seen again. I have some ham in the freezer that I was thinking of taking out, so maybe the first recipe. @smitty34877 Good to hear you all had a decent night last night. I hope the calmness can continue and that Tana remains stable. Prayers for you all. @Seasick Sailor I hope Allen gets some relief soon. @Quartzsite Cruiser I'm glad you made it home safely last night. Great Galway photos. @Lady Hudson Your great grandson is adorable! @grapau27 I'm pleased to hear that Sarah is doing well; and a new boyfriend doesn't hurt! @Vict0riann Safe trip to the airport tomorrow. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Rainbow over Great Bay Phillipsburg

Terry, I had tears reading your post. It's good that Tana could participate in the discussion and make her wishes known. I'm glad you are getting the help so that all of you can get some rest. Prayers that she will stabilize. Please know that you have many people holding Tana and the family in their hearts and prayers.

Too late to edit my post, but I inadvertently called @USN59-79 Ray Jack. And I also wanted to add @Horizon chaser 1957's DD in our prayers. @dfish Debbie, I'm glad you got a diagnosis and treatment for the eye. And that you're proceeding toward the nerve ablation. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for checking in. I imagine you'll be home soon?

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I haven't seen a Fan Dance. I love rainbows. I'll salute film scores as they add so much to movies. Yogi Berra just being Yogi. I like the meal, pass on the drink and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Quepos. An important day in history, but there's good and bad to cell phones. It's been raining and raining here. The big rivers and creeks are high. Some schools closed due to flooded roads. I made it to my Cardiology appointment, leaving early before they closed the parkway. I came home a different way. Lots of walking again, as I had to get a CXR after the appointment. By then my leg was on fire, but I survived. Now I'm sleepy and hope to get a nap in, after a 3 hour night. BFF just texted that he had 3 biopsies done at his skin check; let's hope he won't need Mohs again. I heard about the earthquake in Taiwan. I worry about @USN59-79 Jack and his family. @SusieKIslandGirl Bon Voyage! @aliaschief Thanks for the great photos. @kazu I sure hope your acupuncture helps you and alleviates the burning and pain. @cat shepard I so appreciate your prayers for my pain relief. @dfish I hope the eye continues to improve. I hope your appointment results in your getting set up for the nerve ablation. I'm glad you're getting your eye looked at. @Heartgrove Sorry to hear about the cruise cancellation, especially after you had gotten your flights and hotels. What did they say was the reason? I hope you can make a satisfactory substitute. @smitty34877 I am so sorry to hear that Tana's condition has progressed. I would imagine it's hard not having much you can do to assist her. I hope she can be kept comfortable. I'm glad you were able to get some rest. Prayers for Tana, you and the family. @marshhawk I'm glad you are safe from the storms and hope your friends were as well. I hope you can get DH's weight up some. @RMLincoln Tough times for your DSIL's family, having to make decisions. @Seasick Sailor Prayers that Allen gets relief from the Dupixent and that it gets covered. @Vict0riann Woohoo that DD got a good report from the Ortho doc and that you can go on your cruise. I hope we get to see you at sail away. @Nickelpenny I'm glad you mood is better, and congrats on being a 4-start Mariner! @Cruzin Terri I hope you're doing ok. @HAL Sailer Thinking of you and your DH. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Lots of warnings on the news about storms tonight. There has already been some flooding. Supposedly the most rain in a single day since 1977! I just got an email that a section of the parkway I need to take tomorrow (called the "bathtub" because it floods often, despite pumps to avoid that) for my Cardiology appointment, will close at 10am or earlier due to anticipated flooding. Everyone stay safe!

Great photo of Ren! I've only been taking Gabapentin, which is supposed to help nerve pain. My PCP added Cymbalta, another med for nerve pain, but it gave me headaches and dry mouth, so I stopped it (I also read horror stories of people on it long term trying to get off. It's also used for depression). Ibuprofen doesn't help it. And I haven't had anything stronger, like a narcotic type medication.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @kazu @richwmn and maps @rafinmd. Ferrets are ok. I don't know the produce manager at my usual grocery store, but they have a nice assortment. I like the occasional PB&J(am) sandwich. Good quote. The meal sounds yummy. Pass on the drink and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Townsville. It has been pouring rain here since last night, with thunder at times. There are flood watches. This afternoon late and tonight are expected to be worse, with rain, hail and higher winds, and possibly a tornado watch. At least it's not snow, like the northeast is going to get. I've been up since around 3:45 AM. I had an early appointment and knew the parkway would be bad with the rain. Luckily there was a little lull when I left, but raining hard when I got to the hospital. No handicapped parking spaces to be had. And the elevators near the office were out, supposedly since last Wednesday! So much more walking was involved. My hearing and tinnitus are about the same. Then I went to get lab work, some of which is already coming back. I ran home for a quick minute, then off to PT. Oh the pain - too much walking, rain, who knows? @seagarsmoker You can have some of our rain! @StLouisCruisers Ren and his team seem to be doing well. The stocking is gorgeous! @cat shepard Good luck with jury duty. I'm sure Bindi wonders what's going on. @dfish Sorry about the eye. I'd think allergies would affect both. Could you have pink eye? @smitty34877 I'm sorry to hear that Tana had a rough night and is coughing. I hope it's not pneumonia again. Good that the hospice nurse may take a look at her. @aliaschief Beautiful pictures. I'm glad it's such a great cruise for you. And you're sharing with Dailyites who want to see! @summer slope I'll add Mike and Sue to the Care List. @Nickelpenny Sorry you didn't feel well enough to watch the launch last night. And to hear your knee x-rays report. Sadly I'm there with you, with a recommended left knee replacement.I had many steroid injections which stopped working. Then Synvisc, which didn't help. And because of my issues with the right leg, I've abused the left leg lately. I hope your other knee can qualify for the clinical trial. @marshhawk I hope your appointment with the oral surgeon goes well. @RMLincoln I'm doing the happy dance about DH's eye results after surgery! @bennybear I'm drooling over those chocolates. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Rabbit, Rabbit, White Rabbit! No Tom Foolery here, and no April Fool fooling of anyone. Kind of sad Marilyn quote. I could like a charcuterie board. Yes to the drink and pass on the wine. I haven't been to Tokyo. Being an Apple person (except my PC), I'll salute today in history. It's been cloudy and raining, although there's a break in the rain now. Good sleeping weather, if one can sleep. Also storms tomorrow and Wednesday, and snow flakes Thursday and Friday. I have an ENT appointment tomorrow, and Cardiology on Wednesday, plus PT 2 days. I'm trying to get laundry done today, and also still sorting in the dining room. I have a lot of depression glass. I've already gotten rid of some when I had my DM's belongings auctioned, but still have too much. Also I need to find a riser for the upstairs commode, for after surgery. @cat shepard I used to want to do jury duty and was never called. @StLouisCruisers I'll support sourdough day, although I haven't been able to make any bread since last summer, since I can't stand for any length of time. I take my sourdough starter out of the fridge about once a month to feed it. I like your rabbits! Thanks for posting Lenda's photos. @kazu Yay for sunshine and for finding a sitter for Ivan. It is hard having someone new in your home, but prayers it'll be ok. @ottahand7 April 1 is a sad memory day for you. Hugs. @RMLincoln I hope DH Richard's eye appointment goes well. Sorry to hear that DSIL's family need to make hard decisions. Condolences on the loss of two people who were like family. @quilty964 The only hard part of sourdough can be getting the starter going at first, so that it's good and healthy. There can be activity at the beginning, that then disappears, but that's from bacteria you don't want. Once you get a good starter, it can usually be revived, even if neglected in the fridge. @1ANGELCAT I'm glad you had a nice brunch. While BFF and I were at one yesterday, the table next to us was already scheduling for Mother's Day! @bennybear Excellent photos from Tokyo. @ger_77 So sad about Gord. Bless you for dropping everything to be there with Ollie. Condolences to his family and friends. She is very lucky to have you and Maurice as friends. @aliaschief It looks like you're having an amazing time! Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.
