I posted the name and phone numbers of two companies that rent wheel chairs and scooters for the ship. Please include it somewhere tomorrow so Jacqui sees it in case she doesn’t come back here tonight. I also sent her an email. Thanks

Jacqui Special Needs At Sea at 800 513 4515. rents scooters and wheel chairs for ships. Also scoot around at 888 441 7575

Jacqui, have you considered renting a power wheel chair or scooter for the cruise? I can’t remember the name of the organization but someone on here might know. I will try to look it up because they will deliver it to your cabin.Be back if I can find it.

Oh my God, Jacqui. How awful for you to have this happen. You certainly didn’t need this. I’m so sorry, but please stay away from those balconies. I’m also suffering from excruciating pain from my SI joint and getting a cortisone shot on Thursday morning, but I’m not on a cruise I’ve been looking for. You don’t deserve this. Praying for relief for you soon.

Good morning everyone. Not a fan of mischief night. For several years we had our mailbox explode every mischief night. There was nothing the police could do.When I taught in the Bronx, NYC at a junior high school, the kids thought it was great fun to toss egg at everyone and everything. I’ve been having falling asleep and last night was up till 2am so I just awoke to 41 degrees at almost 10am. Off to a show at the clubhouse tonight. Stay well everyone, Carol

Good morning everyone. It’s 9am and 38 degrees.I hate winter and it looks like it’s coming. I think todays quote is really important. I am truly horrified at the attack on Paul Pelosi and all the threats against our government leaders. It’s frightening to know how little protection is availabile to most of them, not just their families. Prayers for all who need them today. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Good morning everyone. Sam was in the Navy and we were stationed on a Marine Air base in Cherry Point, North Carolina because the Navy supplied medical care then. Not sure if that is still the case. It was the closest all weather air base to Cuba and half the base disappeared during the Cuban Missile crisis. We were advised to keep our gas tanks half full at all times in. Are we had to evacuate. Thankfully, that never happened. That went out before I was ready. I went back to PT yesterday because I feel slightly off balance and am afraid of falling. We agreed I need a tune up so will be returning in December for a few weeks. Stay safe everyone, Carol I

Happy Happy Birthday. Have a great day, Graham.

Good morning everyone from a very very foggy NJ.Heading back to the PT balance center for an evaluation on how I’m doing since I left back in early June. I haven’t been good about doing my exercises so am hoping they will consider me to be ok. I always love seeing everyone’s pictures so I can travel vicariously. Waiting for a call back from my infectious disease doctor to see if I can take the new booster for covid. If not, I face another winter locked up. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Hoping all goes well for you guys today.

Good morning everyone. It’s a nasty rainy day here but I’m going out for dinner with 5 other people. I’m a mother in law to 3 people and I try to be a very good one. Hopefully, they think I am. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Good morning everyone. Nice collection of days. I never made it to the senior center yesterday for the Cole Porter show. I got a wave of exhaustion and think I don’t drink enough water. I did go to our clubhouse last night where a county 20 piece band played. They were all amateurs but amazing. I was very happy I went. Today is a lazy day waiting for my handyman to shut off the outside water before the pipes freeze and to fix my dishwasher since the bottom rack seems to be off the track and no matter what I do it stays that way. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Good morning everyone. I can’t believe it but right now it is 35 degrees going up to 64. Winter is fast approaching and I hate the cold, ice and snow. The good thing about living here is if we get more than 3 inches they plow for us. Our shoveling days are over. I can go with nachos and I think the quote is true. Heading to the senior center this afternoon to hear a music program on Cole Porter and then to the club house tonight for another music program. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Good morning everyone. Thanks for the reports Roy and Rich. It was 30:degrees here last night but luckily I was sleeping. Yesterday I drove 30 minutes to a funeral and without exaggeration, I must have been in front of, behind, or next to at least 60 huge trucks . There are so many warehouses around here. . You really have to be a good driver. Getting ready for a day of cleaning and catching up on some paperwork I have put off for a while. Stay safe everyone, Carol

Those are amazing pictures. Made me hungry.

I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend Sandi.

Good morning everyone. It’s hard to believe it’s going to be 36 degrees tonight. Guess I don’t have to worry about my outside plants anymore. Prayers for so many on our. Are list, for the people of Ukraine and for those recovering from the hurricane. Stay safe , Carol

He lives in Texas so you might actually know who I am talking about. He posted it on Facebook so I don’t think it’s a secret but it’s not for me to repeat his name. He’s just a very nice soul.

I know those leg cramps all to well. I never drink enough water and am frequently visited by them at night. My friend actually passed out in front of her house and was taken to the hospital because she was dehydrated.

Not sure he serves as a Hal Chaplin. Have to check that out.

Jacqui, I’m glad you are finding things to be grateful for. I am too and find it so comforting for me at this time.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. My daughter in law died onlym2 weeks after her cancer diagnosis.It’s a lot to take in so fast.

There is so much hatred and mistrust in the world. You are right Jacqui, he doesn’t deserve this at all.

Good afternoon everyone. I almost forgot to check in again today. I wasn’t able to fall asleep last night till 2 am this morning. It’s getting to be a later and later bedtime. My tech was here the other night to fix my iPad. It’s been freezing on me with FaceTime as I’m doing telemedicine appointments and it’s so frustrating. He updated the program and I found 72 YouTube videos on there. What? No idea how that happened. I used to go to the photo board on CC when I had a tech issue but forgot. I have a CC friend who is a minister and has been one for many years. He recently came out as gay and married his significant other. Someone in the church complained to the Bishop and now he was put on leave. Have no idea what is going to happen but he has received a lot of support from his parishioners who love him. Stay safe, Carol
