From me too!

You explained your emotions beautifully.

I had cataract surgery a few months ago in both eyes a few weeks apart. Piece of cake. No pain, no complications and I see much clearer.

Lenny, a terrorist opened fire on one of the busiest streets in Tel-Aviv. One killed, 7 wounded. No matter where an attack occurs, every Israeli is impacted. I had friends in Ra'anana years ago but lost touch. Dani, so sorry DH's relief came so late but at least now he's showing improvement. Same from me to @NHProud

We were on a cruise where we were given 7:45 MTD seating. That was the only time available for the entire 7 nights. On another cruise pre-covid, we were waitlisted for both early and late seating. How is that possible? Isn't every passenger assured one dining time? Guess not. There was no way my DH and I wanted to be relegated to WJ every night. MTD was way too late for us. We finally got affirmation months later from our TA for early seating. On our Oasis cruise last month, we had early dining and were done eating on deck 4 at approx. 6:45. If MTD is only on deck 3, what happens to the empty tables on decks 4 and 5, waiting for late seating at 8 or 8:30? BTW, kudos to all who posted in here. I think this is the first multiple page thread that stayed on topic from first to last page so far.

OMG can those cuties get any cuter? Kenzie is in the driver's seat. That VW is a British car with the steering wheel on the "other" side. 🤗

Lenny, of course we worry, but we go about our lives as usual. They live in a nightmare every minute of the day. I hear that fear almost daily when I talk to my sister-in-law and family in Israel. I feel that fear when @dani negreanuDani posts. May they all stay safe.

I do the same. His voice is magic. My favorite is "Time To Say Goodbye". His singing alone or a duet with Sarah Brightman.

I have to comment that the +1, +2 replies confuse me. If you are adding your name to the same responses previously posted shouldn't it be +1 ? Just adding one more response? I probably am reading it wrong. Won't be the first time.🤔

Beautiful! Those towers flanking the Luna Park sign in picture reminds me of the Chrysler Building in Manhattan.

Happy Birthday to Lottie, @brillohead Debi, and happy early birthday to Owen. I know Debi's birthday wish came true!

Regarding 1st 2 pictures: Andrew, no offense to Gordon Ramsay but the mains coming out of your kitchen back home, look more appealing especially your grilled rib eyes. However, the 3rd one looks delicious.

Bravo! I feel as you do.

Dani, Israel will prevail but I fear at what cost. We're in constant communication with family in Modi'in. Total fear as you well know. Through all of this, how is your DH's pain?

@dani negreanu Dani, I have a heavy heart reading and listening to the latest news from Israel. I can only hope and pray all of Israel stays safe. I especially think of you, DH and your family, as I do Jack's family in Israel to stay out of harm's way.

Many, many years ago we stayed in a beach house in Brigantine, NJ for a few days. We laughed at the billboards along the highway announcing gambling would be coming to AC. No way, we thought.

I can't think of a better screen saver! Pure perfection.

Best of luck on your move!

We somehow lost internet last night. Fast forward to 7am this morning. Jack said he was on the phone with AT&T from 2-3am trying to straighten it out. Guy at AT&T worked on it the whole time from his location. He had Jack do stuff with the tv and finally, voila we now have internet restored on our smart tv and laptop. One great thing about a tempurpedic mattress is that the whole bed doesn't move/shift when someone gets in and out of bed. Makes for an uninterrupted night sleep.😴

Beautiful father/daughter picture. I too see a resemblance! Your luck hasn't run out. It's just beginning! The good kind!!

Thanks, Lenny. We'll be going to my nephew for the 1st seder and we'll be 14. No plans for the 2nd one. Enjoy your seder surrounded by loved ones.

Maryann, I sincerely think we have a cosmic connection, I was just now going to post the very same thing and you beat me to it. Thank you so much. No bread, cake, pasta, for 8 days. I might not be kosher the rest of the year but Passover to me is sacred. My mom passed away on the 1st night of Passover and I do that in a way, to honor her memory. So, let me, as you did, wish all who celebrate, a very Happy and Healthy Passover.

Jack's visa was just about to expire and being young and in love (still am in love, though not young anymore) Jack asked me to marry him and live in Israel. We could have married in the states but I figured, why not? It should be an exciting adventure, right?. I was happy my parents were able to attend the wedding. We lived in Israel for one year before Jack said he knew I missed my family and that we would go back. I thought he meant for a visit. He meant to move back permanently. THEN we had to tell his family in Israel, parents, sister, brother that we were going back to NY. Not a happy day for them but for me I was floating on air. I like to say that at different times, we gave up our countries for each other. In this stage of our lives, yes we both prefer renting and living maintenance free. Memories: I once attended a Knick's game at Madison Square Garden, very early 70s. All of the players you mentioned were on the court plus I think Phil Jackson. It ran into double over-time and I was screaming my lungs out. Knicks won!

I've said this before. Your property is gorgeous.

So heartwarmng!!
