True. I was young enough that helped plus my new knees should last me the rest of my life.

Yes we are. When I was younger I loved going to Vegas. I was interested in Craps so I went and bought every book I could about playing, and strategies, I ended up doing ok but I was never lucky. As I got older saving money was more important to me than spending money. I have played a few times on a cruise ship but have never won. I guess I’m just unlucky.

Thanks for this information. I find this very interesting..

I know there were some posts last week about Below Deck Sailing Season 5 and why it’s not airing before Below Deck Med’s new season. Here is an article that addresses the Gary situation which is at the heart of the matter. https://www.monstersandcritics.com/tv/reality-tv/what-happened-to-below-deck-sailing-yacht-season-5-heres-what-we-know/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3PzGeBaYvpub46YwCePkRD1-uB72HsDe59muQCA7_4JLVqL_H7yFTKnKk_aem_AbKpDSHZe6pYRzoB3q8IujhFdQWpeho-Sle6FtoR-JzNfcPUFODol5lPrJr9Ewg65UiheAjlAabIm0rpfr_fZstl

Thanks OB I will pass this info along to Linda.

Yes I would hold off as long as you can before getting knee replacement surgery but it may be the best thing to do if you are in constant pain like I was. You might look into stem cell transplants as well as I discussed earlier. We watch every Saturday too. Love the musical guests. We did watch the piece on Oceana and their chef. Both Linda and I said wow that food looks amazing. We might need to consider them in the future. I’m sure it’s not cheap. Do you remember how much they recommended you take?

Hmmm interesting he would say that. My brother and several other doctors have told me the opposite. I would say if it works for you and you are getting relief that’s all that matters. Another thing to look into which insurance does not cover here is stem cell treatments in the knee. The research has been very promising. My brother does it where he injects bone marrow into the joint and has patients who were amazed what a difference it made.

Thats weird I wonder why he won’t recommend it? The only issue we have over here is that some insurance companies will not cover it. It has gotten better over the years for insurance to pay for it. Linda just got her knees injected with it and is quite happy how her knees are feeling now.

I will have to try that one. I have only had the 10 year which I like a lot. Cheers!

My doctor brother has told me that steroid injections in the knee can actually make your arthritis worse. Have you considered a hyaluronic acid injection such as Synvisc or Duralane? They are like a lubricant for the knee and worked well for me. Winner! Winner!! EH Taylor is my favorite and I love the Widow Jane. Is that the 10 year? Great stuff. Now CC on my phone is working just fine this morning. I don’t know what was going on last night.

She just finished her last day with her rehab. Doing really well. Thank yo for asking. It's funny in that after her hand surgery she was doing well but lately she had been doing weights with her hands and arms for her shoulder and that has irritated her hand. I think it's short term. I did with my iphone. Tried restarting and still the same. I tried Safari and could get into main boards but not individual threads. We dodged a bullet. It went to the south of us. Thanks Judy for checking in on us. Yes my knees were toast. 40 years of television camera work took it's toll. Same here not sure what's going on. I cleared my browser history and cache and still had probelms.

Thanks Mark! I have been working hard at losing weight but it’s coming off slowly. I’m still down 50 pounds but would like to lose another 30-40.

She dates an acquaintance of mine. You might have heard of him.

I bought her new album. I like it. I also have a vested interest in her now.

Thanks Graham. Still work in progress.
