The bad thing is the screening was done in October before my knee replacement and my general doctor should have seen the results and said something. Good luck with the Biopsy Greg.

I did much the same when my parents passed. Since I lived "away" and the rest of them were local, I just said, "take it all" and I moved on. I have virtually nothing from my parents....but that's ok. Good luck with the move. I know that will be a tough one. We moved from VA to FL and your move will be even further. You are SO SMART to hire someone else to do it. We moved ourselves. UGH. No bueno. How's your hand/arm doing ? Last time I saw you, you still had a brace. I dont remember having a brace. Once they put the metal plate inside my wrist and reattached the long bones in my arm there wasnt a sling or brace. Hurt a lot but no brace. Its about 90%. I tried to pull myself onto the carousel on harmony and was reminded that I cant make a tight fist. Felt stupid, lol, should have been so easy to grab and pull myself onto a animal. I just know big boxes are too heavy for me to handle. If there were 2 of us moving I'd plan on doing more, but isnt going to happen. As far as my bil, there have been times when we just had to say if he was a genius he woukdnt have married my sister who is a slow learner. Just a week ago he told me he was thinking of changing from gas to electric heat because he thinks the gas is leaking. The house is mlre than twice the sq footage and he keeps the house 75 to 78. And a artic blast came thru in January. Turn down the thermostat, the gas isnt leaking. How he and his daughter cleaned out the house will have to go down in that category. We talked and he told me his latest excuse. I said to him in a calm voice the family agrees with me, even a moran would know you dont go thru someones safe without asking. He told me get over it and that's that. There used to be old stock certificates in the safe I wanted. It's not about money. $2 bills, stuff my dad and I saved in there. He wanted to go to maine. I got online and got it all fixed up but he needed to put up a credit card. Hes never ever used a credit card, and still hasnt. We gave up the idea. Now they might just take a trip out west, where they can stay with my cousin and book a pkg at the train that takes you to the Grand Canyon. Drive. Not fly. His idea of a vacation is drive and drive and look for a vacancy sign at a hotel along the way. I said that wouldnt work flying to bar harbor and a rental car, and you have to commit to a certain number of days ahead of time. Nope. This is something I have to just let go. Not everyone has the same mental capabilities. Or able to be logical. hes a hard worker and the house sparkles. So clean the kitchen really as I said seems to sparkle. Never looked so good. When they got married he said to mom and me how we just underestimated karen. She could do laundry, take clothes out of the dryer and fold them, set the table. Mom and I just looked at each other. Sure enough by 6 months later he was doing everything, she could fall if he let her do the clothes etc. Its easier to just do it yourself than get her to do anything. If he doesnt mind doing all the work, great for everyone. He calls her his little angel. Lol. I was more than happy to sign over my half of thr house to her trust. It's all hers. I agree with renee who said about being in a cabin where someone died. I dont want to live where my parents lived. Onward and upward. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as if this horrible ongoing war is not enough to make me very sad, one of our BFF, Alex, had a stroke last week, rendering him unable to use his right side 😢😢. When I arrived to the special new immigrants school, almost 60 years ago, Alex (a "veteran" of 2 years) took me under his wing -- both in helping with the Hebrew/math/bible lessons and with the work we had to perform (milking cows, leaving him the "nervous" ones...). Despite our difficult beginnings, he went on to earn a Ph.D. in science teaching from East Lansing, MI, and, until the stroke, was working at the Weizmann Institute. Just more than a month ago I finally managed to persuade him and his DW to take their first cruise, a Rhine river one, and Ken ( @Ourusualbeach) found them an excellent cabin. I was so happy for them, flights and hotels booked also... Today he was moved to a rehabilitation facility. I'm hoping that with a lot of PT, he will regain, in due time, at least some of his motoric capacities. Extreme left in the pic, during our golden wedding dinner anniversary. On the right side, Alex's 3rd cousin, Miriam, whom I met through him, and to this day she's my BFF. Dani @dani negreanu. Prayers 🙏 uplifted for your friend Alex. Hopefully he fully regains control of his right side. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 20 #115829 Share Posted February 20 To me interesting downtown miami, bricknell area, where hotels are, prices are crazy good imo. I saw a new listing alert last week sure was a good price. CNBC just had a guy on and a oversupply of condos in bricknell area, miami beach though is in demand. It really depends where you are looking. I kinda briefly thought about it, but I'm tired of city living, wanted a quieter area. Downtown miami idk if safe or not but i doubt I'd love living there, even though its close to a port. I'm on a neighborhood app and every day i see someone had something stolen. Someone posted the hood of their truck was stolen. I think smaller areas like PC are safer. I hope I'm not wrong. I dont feel safe here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried the Hilton in brickell but now always book the doubletree since they have lots of restaurants and bars and even a liquor store in lobby they share with Marriott, we will be there in exactly 3 weeks before our music charter, love waking up and seeing our ship from our balcony. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted February 20 #115835 Share Posted February 20 3 hours ago, Ocean Boy said: Awesome! Horns, whistles, yelling, they are all good! Are you enjoying Adventure? I haven't been aboard in a few years but enjoyed every cruise on her. Yeah, it’s been good. Food has been good, service in the main dining room has been above average. I’ve enjoyed the entertainment that I’ve seen so far. The ship is full, but it doesn’t feel unnaturally crowded. As a diamond I have had full access to the Crown lounge all day. This morning when I went to get my morning cappuccino, the machine was not working but the diamond concierge was there and quickly fixed it for me. Otherwise it’s been working the whole time. But for my little extension cord hiccup everything has been great. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just into town for drinks and shopping. I had an excursion booked, but they canceled it on me for some unknown reason. Instead of just booking something last minute I thought I would just head into town today. Surprisingly, I met a couple of acquaintances that I hadn’t seen in years who are from Little Rock. They were on a celebrity cruise. I’ve got a beach day scheduled tomorrow. Edited February 20 by Tree_skier 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that PT and rehab gets him back into good shape for his upcoming cruise. @Sea Dog Greg, I’m so dry you are going through health issues. I am glad they saw this sooner rather then later so treatment can be administered and get you back in good shape quicker. @George CGeorge, that must have been scary. Did they check your sugar levels? I hope it’s not anything serious and does not happen again. Drink your water 😀 Edited February 20 by #55worktoplay Auto correct 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
