Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We've always also gotten a shower cap and little loofa - that I use as a soap dish. We bring our own preferred soaps. I appreciate, expect, and use the shower cap. I would be less than thrilled if those disappeared. Our most recent cruise was October 2023. Westerdam, Neptune.
  2. I was most emphatically roasted a few months ago with a question about using $2 bills as tips. Where were you guys when I needed you?! There was considerable discussion that the recipient would have trouble using a denomination unfamiliar to many. And one kind person called me cheap and told me to use a $5!
  3. @Quartzsite Cruiser thinking about you trying to pass the time waiting for the report that DH is out of surgery and it all went great! warm hugs from me.
  4. @Cruising-along I'm another raising a toast to your anniversary and that gorgeous photo. I love weddings! I love small weddings - ours was at our house, 17 people. Perfect and so much fun. @Crazy For Catswe too received that extraordinarily generous offer, and passed. They need to up the ante on that one! Hugs for all who need them (that is all of us), but there are some who qualify for buckets full. Happy packing for those running all over their house like I am! Best ~~
  5. @lindalerand @Quartzsite Cruiser, I finally got clever and started a list in the back of my planner (electronic would probably be even more clever!) Where Stuff Is. All I have to do is remember to write it down! 🤣 I also keep a travel-specific list of How Long Does It Last, so I can plan relative to the usual sizes of stuff we use. I found it handy for the upcoming long trip for things like hair products and other cosmetics.
  6. @Bimmer09 I echo @0106. We don’t use a HAL PCC, just me on the phone with the 800 #’s. We periodically take a look at what’s available, and have been pretty lucky with aft wraps, which we oddly fell in love with several years ago on X! Good luck, they are the best.
  7. Good Sunday, everybody! The memes are exceptional today. A big thanks to all who go to the trouble to find and post them! I am very excited to be on the "about to cruise list"! During the last few months of DH's two hospitalizations, we have been most cautious about getting excited. 3 solid Doctor "Yes!"es last week really lightened up his attitude and we are full on this week. Today was the piece de resistance (insert diacritical marks) though. I went to PetSmart to buy 120 cans of Fancy Feast, and what was the music playing? Andy Grammer's Honey I'm Good. That's the music of my favorite song from Humanity - you know, the one where they're throwing paint. No question about that being a perfect omen. My omens, whether good, bad, warning, or celebrating are always delivered with music. I'm ecstatic!
  8. @CruiserBruce and @Ferry_WatcherThanks for taking us along with your wry good humor and marvelous reports. Happy planning for the next one!
  9. @HAL Sailer There are no frauds on the Daily! We only have friends who are Once, Future, and Hoping to Be on BHB's. My best to you and your husband as you celebrate his birthday and courageously and optimistically look to the future. @rafinmdYEA!! @ everybody else thanks for posting and sharing!
  10. @0106What a find! I am Miss Jack Silver, DH is Matey Bones Silver. I rather like them both! @USN59-79 As my career was Human Resources, I have to apologize that you got sidetracked from your life on the far more interesting high seas. Note to self: Don't raise hand. Regarding Covid boosters, since we hadn't had any booster since the early availability of Bivalent, we just got another of those. And hope we can call it good for our upcoming cruise. Our doctor did give us a round of Paxlovid to take along as insurance. @mamaofami So happy for your wonderful news!
  11. Good morning everyone, We like to say that time exists so everything doesn’t happen at once. Time fails at its job quite often as @marshhawk and I’m sure many others know. I made a vision appointment several months ago for a completely open day on a completely open week. Now, I have to be at the eye doctor at 9:50, then home by 11:00 to help DH with a video visit with the cardiologist, then an in-office pacemaker check at 1:30. This is way too many things at once for a retired person who, like @kazu, is ill-prepared for her rapidly approaching and much-anticipated cruise! @rafinmd I join the chorus here in hoping that you DO go on your cruise. Park your responsibilities at your cabin door and let the motion of the ocean help you heal. @smitty34877 my deepest sympathies on the loss of Lou. I am sending you thoughts of comfort and strength. To quote Wolf Blitzer “may his memory be a blessing”. Off to the shower to conquer my busy day!
  12. @ger_77, sleep fast tonight for your early hospital call. I’ll be looking forward to hearing when you’re home after a successful procedure. My DH is proud owner of such a device since June1. We’ve had a busy summer —- best to you and your DH!
  13. I was in Houston conducting employee meetings regarding a new benefit plan. I called DH at home to see if he had the morning news on. “No, why?” At that point I was stumped, I hadn’t thought about what I was going to say. Finally “we seem to be under some kind of attack”. He turned on the TV just in time to see the 2nd plane hit. The company’s insurance broker and I got a ride with a provider;s rep up to Dallas, DH drove down from Tulsa to pick us up, and the broker’s wife drove down from St Louis to collect him in Tulsa. We made very good time on that trip; arriving home around 10. The few people on the highway that night were making very good time —- Never forget. Never forget the stunning courage and sacrifice of first responders and their families, and the passengers on Flight 93. Never forget the innocent lives lost.
  14. Thanks for taking us along! This has been great fun, and a terrific preview for our trip in three weeks.
