We have been using Walmart pickup. So easy.  We still walk in for stuff like shaved ham.  They will not cut it right if you don’t go in.

Our daughter almost always uses Walmart pickup.  She stops by on her way home from work.

Had a lot of trouble posting and liking posts. WIFI was terrible!

Mallory is in my thoughts. Wishing her the best.
Lenny, I can imagine how worried you and the family is, but around her and for her, you have to be strong, very strong..........worries transmit like osmosis and you do not want this sweet child to worry.

 

Everything will work out with Mallory. We all are praying.

We booked thru the casino since we are both prime and they gave us an additional $700 off and that was after our diamond and online sale price.   Too good to refuse.  Turns out to be something like $45 a day pp for OV balcony.

Hopefully we make to barbados but if not I will be happy with all the other islands.

That is a really good price.   When I do the mock and I see, Balc Suite NRD -$300, this the diamond discount, correct?  I never thought about it but I am guessing we get the same discount on a cruise rather we are both diamond or just one.

We did a snorkel excursion on a catamaran one time and we saw some beautiful fish near a shipwreck.  Always love antigua.

I remember doing a snorkel excursion with my daughter on a catamaran.  We stopped in choppy water.  While snorkeling I felt sick.  I think it’s really the only time I ever got sea sick.  When I went back to the catamaran, I noticed the waves bothered another person much more than me!

I'm pretty sure that is the diamond discount.    When I priced up with diamond and 55+ discount I get total of $1959 for jan 9th sailing for OV Balcony category 2d.

Yup discount applies if at least one person is diamond.

Thanks, Debbie.  I went onto my cruise page and saw the railway tour listed, among other excursions.  I haven't gone on my Celebrity page yet.  After going on RCI, I started looking to see if there was anything I could tag on to the Bella cruise to make our first B2B.  Uh oh, I may be calling my TA to see about booking a Jewel of the Seas on March 6, (Jim's Birthday) 2023.  We would have to change ships, but both Jewel and Oasis are out of Miami.  How bad could that be?🤷‍♀️.  I've just never had more than 2 cruises booked before, and right now we've got 4.  I'd better get on a ship fast, before I get too out of control.

March 6th sounds like a great plan for his Birthday.  I say Book it Dano🤣

We did side by side on allure then over to serenade in 2020.  Not as nice as staying on same ship but everything went well with the transfer.  Jewel is a nice ship too.

I did that once last winter and had a horrible experience with so many wrong items, never again.  When Eric had covid and we were both quaranting I did shoprite home delivery and that was great service.  The shopper would text me while filling to order to ask about substitutions.  They were offering free delivery last winter, not sure if they still are offering.

So, I accidentally saw an episode of Below Deck. The Mediterranean one.  Actually, parts of 2 episodes. I stopped off at a friends house and while waiting for them to finish up so we could go out to dinner, that was what was playing on the TV.

 

At first, I thought this was horrible. How can anybody watch it?  And the so-called drama seems so fake and manufactured. It seems like there are a few crew members that are not aware what their job responsibilities are.

 

Then after a few minutes, I thought, well that is a nice looking yacht & the scenery is kinda spectacular. A few more minutes go by and I find the crew is ridiculously gorgeous & handsome in some of the tightest, most skimpiest outfits ever. I wanted to keep watching to see Capt. Sandy was going to tie Hannah to an anchor and throw her overboard.

 

So, I plan to spend my Sunday binge watching past episodes to catch up. Each season is stand-along right?

 

Thanks guys. My DVR is perpetually at 90% and all I need is another show to watch. Just Thanks.

 

The fake, manufactured drama is what’s kept me from watching so far.  But the comments I’ve read about the beautiful scenery are what makes me want to give it a try.

The MRI for tomorrow has been cancelled again.Apparently the doctor who requested the test erred in completing the authorization form.

My daughter was in my house this morning and spoke to someone at the MRI facility.

She will call the doctor tomorrow ,get it hopefully straightened out and have to reschedule hopefully for later this week.

My daughter,her husband,Toby and I are dealing with this as best as possible.Mallory has to be the most frustrated.

Sorry to read this Lenny, I can’t imagine the frustration for all of you.  Hopefully it can’t get resolved and rescheduled quickly.

BTW, my sister's covid test came back NEGATIVE.  Yea!!

My earache is now a slight dull ache I can live with until it's gone.

So glad to hear this!

We used Walmart regularly during the height of the pandemic and were pleasantly surprised.  I enjoy grocery shopping and missed picking out my own meats & produce, so I was happy to start doing it again. It helps that being retired, I can go during off peak & uncrowded times.

Have a good 5 days everyone.  Will be back into the actual world again by next Friday.  

 

Do you realize how many pages you will need to read to catch up? But I think the trade off would be worth it!

Thank you, Dani.  I learned a new word today. I love when that happens. Luckily I have a iive-in interpreter! 

Yes, too coincidental not to be the cleaning.

Poor Mallory.  I'm sorry for all of the frustration and worry for all of you.  I've been praying every night for you all, and said a special prayer in Church yesterday.  Wishing you nothing but good, happy news.🙏

Great news for your sister!

Bonnie, could your ear ache possibly be allergy related?  I'm glad it's at least just a dull ache,  Bummer, just the same.

Thanks so very much Maryann

Ahh poor Mallory and everyone else in your family.  The fact this keeps dragging out is sad.  Hope it gets resolved soon.  Hang in there🥰

My daughter and her husband have been together 32 years.This is the first time I ever saw him angry.
