Say you have a problem and want to go to Boston because you feel you will get the best care there. Your Advantage plan might say no, you have to go to Providence because those doctors are part of their network. Oh well, too bad for you. Exactly!! NYC has been trying to push all of the City workers into this plan, and we've been fighting this for the past 3 years. So far, we've been succeeding. 🤞 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted August 16 #127755 Share Posted August 16 Kittens are exhausting! Merlin is out cold half the day, and goes 100 mph the other half of the day. If he hears me open the bedroom door at night, it’s a race to the bathroom. I can hear his bell collar running at me. If he gets there before I can close the bathroom door, he goes straight for my feet. No matter what I put down or what surface I put it on, he’s there in 2 seconds to check it out. I really need to be careful with dangerous stuff…I think he lacks the instincts not to do something stupid. I’ve tried squirting him with a spray gun. He doesn’t like that and it makes him stop whatever he’s doing, but as Ted Lasso would say, he’s a goldfish. Ten seconds later he’s doing the same thing again. As I’ve said before though, he sure is cute. 23 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We once had a cat that would take money from my wife’s purse and place it in my shoes , as kittens they both could fit in my size 15 eee shoes. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 16 #127759 Share Posted August 16 For those who don’t remember, today is the anniversary of the deaths of Aretha Franklin and of Elvis. And on a non-musical note, also of Babe Ruth. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taznremmy Posted August 16 #127760 Share Posted August 16 Arrived in Amsterdam today after a non-eventful flight (the best kind!). Board the Serenade OTS on Monday for the final portion of their World Cruise. I was on an earlier segment (Buenos Aires to LA) in Jan/Feb and anxious to see how those that have been on the full 273 days have fared. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Jade doesn't quite get that when she sees movement in the blanket it is just me and not something she has to attack. 4 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted August 16 #127766 Share Posted August 16 Today we went to the Washington County Fair. It was…..interesting. Not my cup of tea but the boys had a blast. This is what a $20 stuffed bear looks like 🤨! The two older boys are spending the night at Auntie Ali’s. Teddy and I went to the movies this afternoon to see Harold and the Purple Crayon. I haven’t been to a movie theater in at least 10 years. Everything is automated and self-serve now, but the new seating arrangements are great. All stadium style with reclining seats, and you could order food (burgers and such) to be delivered to you. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was much better behaved to vet than to us trying to get him in per taxi . Our last kitty was well over 20 lbs at one point if he attacked his sister you couldn’t see her under him , luckily she was very quick and could jump on things that Joebob couldn’t.. when we got him we were told he was Siamese but was definitely a ragdoll that my wife totally loved , we came close to spending thousands to a breeder to get another ragdoll or two , but I was very happy we adopted to Siamese from a shelter. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew and food I thought were very good. And the house band and five singers who are on the whole WC were outstanding. There does seem a different vibe on board than on a normal cruise. More laid back. Bars were quite IMO. But our sector was very port intensive, only three sea days in the 16 day cruise Have fun 👍 and I hope you post about it either on Dani's thread or the WC thread It will be great for you to reconnect with people who are doing the whole cruise or who did the first quarter.

sgmn Posted August 17 #127772 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Heard today we got our royal up on our Canaries and Madeira cruise in September. Went from OV guarantee (still no cabin ) to obstructive Balcony . Looks OK on the deck plans though so fingers crossed it's a good upgrade . It's been a busy week. We've had grandparent duties three days this week plus I've had two funerals to attend. Yesterdays funeral was particularly sad. My old colleague from 35 years ago. He was the baby of our ticket desk at the airport and sadly died way too early at 57. Such a fun positive person 💔 Edited August 17 by sgmn 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
