It is just like ours, just change it to brown. This afternoon here looked happier. We have a month or so to go here. I just turned the heat up to 85. It hasn’t run in sometime, but the weather looks good for the next couple weeks. As I have said, I’d rather heat the pool than the house. I hear you! I'm not looking forward to putting the heat on in the house. We've always had baseboard heat in our other home. We have forced air here. Hate it.

Yes,because of my wife’s bleeding issue HemophilliaC also known as Factor Deficiency eleven. Any scratch or cut can cause non stop bleeding and having a surgical procedure can cause that. My daughter who went with my wife for the surgeries was very impressed by the doctor.She spent an hour in the recovery room and they monitored her constantly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check it out for my February cruise on Silhouette. Last time I looked, it was higher.

Never was a grits fan before. I couldn't believe how wonderful shrimp and grits are, the first time I had it was in a restaurant my cousin recommended while in Charleston, Carolina. Then I found out how much butter was in the dish. OMG! It was amazing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a fantastic time even though we visited no ports but sailed 1300 nautical miles. I hope everyone is well. Graham. Welcome home. Simply Lovely🥰 That's so nice you were able to get away and sail for 7 nights on their new ship. The food looked amazing. I love sea days. I remember when we first started cruising we used to look for sailings that went to a port almost everyday but now we appreciate sea days. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim will need a Covid test next Friday, since his knee surgery will be on the following Monday. I wish your husband success on his knee surgery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prep is so much better, now that I can mix the miralax with Gatorade. So much better! Years ago, the stuff in the gallon container was so awful, I used to keep it cold in the freezer, and drink it very quickly each time I had to take it.Yuck! I take Magnesium Citrate for colonoscopies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Store clerk was standing at the inside door I assumed to be sure it was enforced. However, his mask was only covering his mouth, his nose exposed. Stopped into Sprouts and didn't notice a sign but everyone had on a mask. I feel like we're taking one step ahead and two behind. 🙁 Many of the office staff in most of the offices of my doctors wear masks not covering their nose.One would think that they would know better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted September 18, 2021 #30420 Share Posted September 18, 2021 1 hour ago, John&LaLa said: No knowledge, but OH and IO seems a little abrupt on it's own. OH...IO is also used as a greeting, often between people who don't know each other. I was walking somewhere the other day with an Ohio State golf shirt on. As I walked by a random stranger, he said "OH". I was required by law to respond appropriately. The stadium cheer is a little different. The student section in the end zone start by yelling O and forming an O with their arms. One sideline, moving counter-clockwise, yells H and puts both arms straight up, the opposite endzone section yells I with both arms straight up forming an I, and the final sideline section yells O with arms making an O. That continues around in a circle until the fans tire of it. One of the things I like about Ohio State games is the respect for the band. The stadium is often full early to watch the band make their entrance, which ends with the script Ohio and the dotting of the "i". It's a cool tradition and a tremendous honor to be selected to dot the i. They truly are TBDBITL. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also just remembered a really great series we watched on on Netflix, “Queen of the South”. About a woman who heads up a drug empire. Right now we’re watching Boardwalk Empire. Queen of the South is one of my all time favorite shows as was Boardwalk Empire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone had to wear a mask indoors on our ship this last week even in the theatre. You could take your mask off while eating and drinking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
