Greg, maybe you need some PT? I hope you get permanent relief soon. No fun living with pain like that. So sorry about your macular degeneration. I hope something can be done for you.

Thanks, Lenny, Greg, Marielle, Maryann, Andrew! Maryann, congrats to Meghan and her team! Greg, how is your shoulder? Any residual knee pain? Andrew, I remember when your mom and MIL had those surgeries. Hard to believe it's been 2 years! Glad they bounced back quickly.

Braved an upcoming storm yesterday to have a cataract consultation. Surgery on 1st eye is scheduled for Tuesday. I know most of us "older" folks have had this surgery but I'm still nervous since I'll be "up" and eye just numb. The thought of being aware of someone poking around the inside of my eye fills me with slight dread. As it is now, I can barely read my computer and very glad I have a touchscreen to tweek everything larger. I remember years ago, my mother's reaction after cataract surgery. She said it was like a veil lifted from her eyes and she could see clearly again. Hope that happens to me. On the ankle front, feeling slightly less pain when walking. Yes! So looking forward to our Feb and Mar cruses, you have no idea! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

I "hear" you and I understand. Totally. I was married in Israel, lived there for a year, visited approx. 25 times after we went back to the states, and I still can't figure out Israeli politics. I have no idea how Netanyahu, with his documented sordid background, is PM again. Very sad.

OOOOOO those lobsters! Hope the open Atlantic is calm.

Your pictures are nothing short of spectacular. Glad to be following this wonderful adventure. Special shout out to @island lady Pat, whose posts I miss on another thread. Have you been back to Maine this summer? Wishing you and Bucky smooth sails and happy memories on your upcoming cruises including this one (which I think you're on).

I type very fast on my laptop without looking at the keys. I struggle on my phone with texts. My daughter's thumbs fly on her phone when she texts. The doctor sounds like a car salesman. Once, one gave me us a quote and I said "we'll probably come back". He said the quote won't be available if we leave. I said, neither will we and left.

I will never understand how people type lengthy posts on their phones with those little keys. Maryann, how is Jim doing?

@dani negreanu I haven't seen Dani post or hit a like button as she usually does, in quite a few pages. Hope all is well and hope the CC crud, if she's experiencing it, resolves quickly.

I grew up in Manhattan and never heard of a septic tank until my married friend bought a house that had one. Ditto on all counts.

Your posts are eagerly welcomed no matter when they come. Keep enjoying it all.

Here's another reminder: Get it pumped! Thanks for the info. She probably knows. I don't. I never had houses or lived near any that had septic tanks, so this is totally foreign to me.

My daughter's house in NJ has a septic tank but I have no idea where it's located on her property. This is her property looking out from the front of the house. Back property is built weird. Since the house is on a corner, there is a driveway all around the back and side of the house with access from both streets.

I hope your niece has mild symptoms. I think by now almost everyone I know had covid. Glad for the most part the symptoms are like a bad cold. Jack and I were fortunate to have mild cold symptoms.

So have I. Beautiful property.

Now that I'm posting on Edge again, I found that quite a few pages on here were omitted when viewing CC on Chrome. I just now read all of your fun Halloween posts and most importantly, I now can wish @LuckynanaMaryann's sweet granddaughter Erin a Happy 21st birthday. May she continue to be a shining light to your family.

I'm back in here on Edge. I clicked "log in" and it automatically brought me in without asking for my username and password. Not sure how long this will last. I prefer Edge since I have most of my favorite places listed here.

Thank you. Your photos are always outstanding. Awwww thanks Debbie. That hug made me smile. ☺️

From me too!

How was it? I've read all of his books. Sorry to hear this Lenny. You never said where your pain is. Is it the result of surgery as mine is?

Saw my Podiatrist today. I now have to revert back to wearing the dreaded 'boot" every time I walk. My ankle healed beautifully but the rest of my foot is finding difficulty becoming pain free because it's been non weight baring for 7 weeks. Apparently, I'm not walking as I should, my gait is off which is causing pain. Have to suspend PT for the 2 weeks I have to wear the boot. I'm going to pick up a "shoe extender" as I call it to put under my sneaker of my good foot so that both feet are equal in height so I can walk without limping. My ankle surgery was May 30 and I'm getting disheartened. My femur bone surgery to repair a fracture was a piece of cake compared to this. Next on the list; cataract surgery. This is why I love reading the posts in here and looking at some awesome pictures. Takes me away................ I hope all CC technical sign on issues are resolved soon. Enough already!

Funny, we have opposite issues. I still cannot sign in with Edge but no problem with Chrome. Oh I remember Gate night in Rockland very well. The day of gate night we found a full carton of 12 eggs hidden in our bushes, no doubt waiting for nighttime mischief. Jack threw them out. I wanted to leave a note inside the empty egg carton but we both feared retribution. We had our house in New City egged. What a mess and so difficult to clean. I read 22 Seconds but I don't recall what it's about. I read 2 or 3 books after that one. I just put Grisham's "Boys of Biloxi" on hold at the library. 6 months wait. I have a whole list of books on my kindle, so not too concerned. I'm now reading David Baldacci's newest.

I was just going to post that! Greg, the food pictures you posted all look beautifully displayed and delicious, especially the lamb shank. . Nice size lobster tails.

I still can't log in using Edge. I am notified that either my user name or password is incorrect. They aren't. I used the same info now on Chrome and it worked. Not sure what's going on. I also got an email stating my account has been locked due to security reasons. It claims "someone" tried to log in twice unsuccessfully. That someone was ME!!

I had sign in issues as well. I couldn't log in on my laptop using MS Edge but when I tried logging in with Chrome it worked and here I am!! @lenquixote66Lenny how did your neighborhood reunion go? Hope it was wonderful.
