I do like fancy frozen drinks like mudslide, miami vice, french caribbean, etc without the liquor. I always read your St Marten posts, kraken, tiki stuff and drink posts to Dh and now he occasionally asks me "how is your drinking buddy Greg". 😆😁🤣 Too funny. I know I may sound like an alcoholic but really I'm not. I just like good food and cocktails, plus a ship and a ocean. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me his dentist gave him a price to fix it and a price to extract it. The man could not afford the price to fix it so the molar was pulled. I felt so disgusted that a dentist would pull a salvageable tooth over money. This happened years ago and I remember it clearly to this day and feel just as disgusted now as I did then. I can't imagine ever tailoring a patient's medical care based on his/her ability to pay for it. It has happened to me on more than one occasion. Root canal and a crown or extraction which is a fraction of the cost. I had the best dentist in the world in Rockland County, NY. until he retired. He sent out a heartfelt letter to all of his patients explaining how retiring "early" was a difficult decision and how wonderful it was getting to know us, having the privilege of taking care of our dental needs, considering us family. He was old school, didn't even have a hygienist. He did it all and did it well. His wife was the front desk lady checking patients in. It took him quite a while to sell his practice to someone he felt would continue in his footsteps. I used him a few times until I moved to TX but it just wasn't the same. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went a different direction… I just signed up for Britbox.com and am binging a show called Shetland. It about a small town as Scottish detective. Very interesting story so far. We love that show. Only problem is sometimes I can’t quite understand their accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit "rough" looking in places with ugly (for lack of a better word) warehouse-apartment buildings etc., but it has pretty spots and clearly the coastal and snow-covered mountainous areas are very pretty. They could do quite a bit to improve tourism if they wanted to... Told they are getting a International Airport soon , so you will be able to fly there soon for the weekend escape. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If available, watch Broadchurch. It's a detective show, also in a small town with lots of twists & turns.

He has been doing well this cruise but I have been doing the up and down dance. We just had a really nice experience. While playing a slot machine he was on last night the casino host walked up to him and asked if he was missing a ticket from last night. He said yes, when he got back to the cabin he realized he didn't have it and went back to the machine as it was for $1300+ noone was at the machine and no ticket so he came back to cabin upset. Casino host said someone turned it in right after he left the machine last night so they viewed who played and held it at the cashier desk for Eric's return tonight. We asked if they knew who turned in the ticket so we could thank them with a reward but she didn't know. So nice when something like this happens. The world still has plenty of good people. And on cruise ships. We wish the finder best luck!! Wow,that is amazing . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post them but I'll have to wait until she gets organized probably by Saturday LOL.
