Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I'm not a candy corn fan. I dislike mischief night; one time home from college someone egged my car and tried to sugar the gas tank (luckily the gas cap was tricky and they couldn't get it off). I frequently make checklists so as not to forget things. Funny quote. Maybe on the meal if no actual coconut, only coconut milk. I like the drink and wine. I have not been to Belfast. It's a rainy day here, with dropping temps. We were in the 50's this morning; now 47. Possible flurries tomorrow! I'm tired of not being able to do much. Can't lay or recline or stand. Trying to make my soup yesterday, I had to keep sitting down. My night was the usual. I went to PT earlier, and came back home, as I was in too much pain to do anything. It's eased off a bit now. @seagarsmoker Sorry to hear your cabin temperature is so high. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for the Belfast photos. @aliaschief That meal sounds wonderful. @RMLincoln It sounds like you're making good progress. Enjoy having family visit. @Quartzsite Cruiser Great photos. @cat shepard Nice shot of the full moon. @Nickelpenny I hope they get to the bottom of your leg numbness. @Mtn2Sea Thanks for the interesting photos. @kochleffel Enjoy the Prado. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Sometimes I feel like a hermit, especially during the pandemic, but I don't mind being with myself. Cat day will be popular here. I feel for those who suffer with psoriasis. It's also World Stroke Day to raise awareness of stroke, its symptoms and prevention. Interesting quote. I like the meal, pass on the drink and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Maloy. It's a cloudy, rainy day here, 55F now. I thought I heard thunder early this AM, during my sleepless time. Later in the week we may have wind chills in the 20's! I'm not ready for that. I'm about the same; about 4 hours of sleep last night. I feel bad as every day BFF texts and asks how I am, then says he feels helpless because he can't do anything to make me feel better. I managed to get laundry done yesterday, although the trips up and down to the basement aren't fun. Today I'll try to make the soup I didn't get around to making yesterday. @Haljo1935 Bon Voyage! @RMLincoln How nice that your friend will be there with you when the movers come. @seagarsmoker Enjoy your cruise. Nice that you could go with the flow on embarkation, unlike some who throw fits. @cat shepard I'll have to look for those shrimp on my next trip to Aldi. @sailingdutchy Your day yesterday in Civitavecchia sounds exceptional. @0106 Thank you for the insights into today's quote. @Crazy For Cats Nice pictures of the kids. @Heartgrove I'm glad the medication is helping your large bug bite. It was good you went to have it looked at. @kazu Congrats on the casino offer and booking a cruise. @richwmn @Denise T @smitty34877 @Nickelpenny @ger_77 @P&PNH Nice to see all the cats. @dfish Good recipes. Too wet here to work on leaves. My curb pickup will be Wednesday, but I don't think it'll dry out before then. @Cruzin Terri I'm glad to hear that things have calmed down. Continued prayers for you and DH. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those with something to Celebrate.

Thanks for the photos, since I missed it .

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @richwmn. I'm all for an outdoor cocktail party! I am a big Statue of Liberty fan, collect replica statues, and was at the rededication Liberty Weekend in 1986 along with millions of other people. Plus animals are cute and chocolate is always a favorite. Interesting quote. I like the meal, pass on the drink, and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Long Beach. Use of fingerprints revolutionized police investigation. Prohibition was a fail. It's 66 and cloudy here. The last warmish day I think. I had another rough night, but then when I get up and have to stand I have even more numbness and pain. It is gradually easing as I sit at the PC. No fun! And now my eye wants to flare, but I'm catching it early; I think it's stress which many with uveitis say can cause a flare. I hope to be able to get laundry done, and maybe make stuffed pepper soup. That's all I can manage. At least so far only a sore arm from yesterday's vaccines. And perhaps I'll watch Pitt vs ND (and hope we're not embarrassed by their performance). @seagarsmoker Bon Voyage! @aliaschief Thanks for all the info about your cruise. @Heartgrove Good idea to get that bite area checked out. @RMLincoln Yay on getting the letter! Good luck with all the cleaning out and getting rid of things you won't take with you. I'm sure you'll settle in your new place and make wonderful new connections. I hope DH's eye pressure settles and he has less itching. @smitty34877 I'm glad Tana is feeling a little better; hopefully as temps drop so will the humidity. @dfish Thanks for the recipes. LOL on DB's choice of dinner. @ger_77 Brrrr; the frozen tundra is living up to it's name. @Nickelpenny Nice LB photos. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

A sad day indeed, Roy. Condolences to all who knew them. Terri, I have ones with light sensors, so they turn on when it gets dark and off during the day (unless it's very cloudy). I don't think they use much electricity, especially if I put in little LED bulbs.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Black cats are pretty, but I've never had one. I may have to have a Yuengling (America's oldest brewery and based in PA). I salute all who serve or served in the Navy. Interesting quote. Maybe on the meal, yes to the drink and wine. I have not been to Callao-Lima. I'll salute the treaty. I know of, but have never seen Rebel Without a Cause. It's 74F and cloudy. It's due to rain tomorrow and Sunday. I got somewhat better sleep, having taken a benadryl before bed. I woke up at 2 and then 6 with pain, numbness and tingling. In the shower my leg felt very numb and I was fearful of falling. It's a claw foot tub and I can't find a shower seat for it. Then I went to PT and did most of my routine. Next was a stop at the pharmacy for my flu and Covid vaccines, followed by a quick grocery store run. I then finished mowing the lawn, and that only took about 15 minutes as I'd done most of it yesterday. I'd like to do laundry, but I'm pooped. So tomorrow for that. @grapau27 Happy Birthday! The dinner with Pauline and Sarah looks nice. @Norseh2o Bon Voyage! @StLouisCruisers Thanks for the photos. How nice that DS and DDIL will have a getaway during spring break. @Crazy For Cats Thanks for the photo of Mona. @smitty34877 I hope Tana is starting to feel better. @dfish I'm glad you're getting the money owed you. Persistence paid off! @Cruzin Terri I'm sorry to hear that DH fell, but glad he didn't break anything. What about having a few nightlights? I have them in the hall and bathroom, and don't need to turn on any big lights at night. @Quartzsite Cruiser Nice photos. @ottahand7 Thanks for sharing your photos. @Lady Hudson I do hope DH is doing well and that he'll be able to cruise. @cruising sister Oh my on that Shanty town. I'm sure they appreciated the supplies and food. @Denise T Sheldon is handsome! @Mtn2Sea Great photos. @Cruising-along Happy Anniversary to your DS and DDIL. @Seasick Sailor You've been busy doing good deeds; brava! @Vict0riann Cute photos of Pat with the horse. @tupper10 Thanks for sharing your experience with back pain and your treatment. @lazey1 I'm glad you're feeling better.

Good afternoon. Well, although I had some leg tingling, I managed to get about 80% of the lawn mowed. Then I started feeling tired and somewhat shaky, so I stopped. I can finish tomorrow after PT and then getting my flu and Covid shots. @cat shepard Thanks for the information. Volvos are great cars. I'd like to get a hybrid, I think. I love my Acura RDX, but there won't be a hybrid, just an all electric (and costing $60k or more, which I won't pay). My RDX is a 2015 and I don't even have 30k miles, so it's probably cost effective to just hang on to it for now. @Mtn2Sea Great photos, thanks. Nice photo of DW and the Duke. @dfish Thank you for sharing your recipe. @mamaofami I'm glad to hear that Sam is home, hopefully for good. Prayers that your grandson gets into the school he wants.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I've never had mincemeat, but was always intrigued by it. I'll salute horseless carriages and the deployed (as well as their families). Funny quote. I like the meal, pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Oban. 2 good days in history. Another nice day here today. While I did get more sleep, my pain has been off the scale today. I went to bed early, after benadryl for my injection. I slept until about 2 AM, and when I attempted to sit up I had the most horrendous back and leg pain. I wondered if the manipulations at the pain clinic had anything to do with it. I managed to get that to settle down, and had a series of catnaps. After I posted the Cares list I slept until after 8! So about 5 hours total. But when I got up, my right leg was so painful and had tingling and numbness. I barely could put weight on it, and thought I might have to call 911. I managed to get dressed, as the plumbers were coming. It has eased up some, and I hope more so as the day goes on. I called to get an appointment with the recommended neurosurgeon (who has glowing reviews online), but she had nothing until January. So I'm going to see her PA next Friday, who may get the ball rolling with repeat imaging and anything else she thinks I need. I wanted to mow the lawn today; I'll see how I feel later. Some of the boiler plumbing is replaced and the new toilet is in! @StLouisCruisers I know everyone appreciates your prayers. @grapau27 Thanks for the information on Day of the Deployed. @cat shepard Can you remind me what vehicle you got? @kazu Take some time to relax if you can; you've been so busy! I really need to find someone to do snow removal and mow the lawn. It's so hard to find anyone reliable. @aliaschief It sounds like they're treating you very well. Enjoy! @Nickelpenny Oops! I'll correct it. @RMLincoln I know you have a lot to do, just be careful not to injure yourself. And getting more sleep is great. Now just for the legal document to come! @cruising sister Thanks for the updates. DB must have osteomyelitis (infection in the bone) to require antibiotics for that long. And I hope Murphy can get off the ventilator. Prayers for them both, and the families. I'm glad you feel ok from the vaccines. @Quartzsite Cruiser Oh no on the roof leak! Your meal is making me hungry. @smitty34877 I'm glad the hospice nurse could get a new IV in for Tana. Hugs to you and Tana as you go through the photos; I hope the good memories will help sustain you. @ger_77 Welcome home! Great photo of the family. I'm glad you stayed safe on the nasty roads. @dfish I hope the brace helps. Great recipes. @kochleffel Feel better, and safe travels! @NextOne Yay! Good to see you and know that you're doing well. Now just relax and heal. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Good evening. I'm back from my appointment. Driving there was awful, with lots of leg pain. I'm not sure why driving is so bad for it. I took a cane, as it's a bit of a walk from the parking garage to the office. The pain management doctor, nurse and fellow were very thorough. They didn't think anything was a complication of the procedure. The nurse took a photo of my back showing a bruise around the injection site (I was unaware of it). There's perhaps a little weakness on the right side. So it could be I will be a late responder to the injection. He offered some meds for sleep (mainly antidepressants), but I'll try Benadryl first. He told me what type of things not to do at PT. And he wants me to see a neurosurgeon just to see what they think. He doesn't want to wait until I have any permanent damage. They might say whether another injection would help, done from a different angle. Or maybe opening the area where the nerve emerges (the foramina) using minimally invasive surgery. Perhaps repeat the MRI (I think it should be redone). Avoid certain exercises at PT. And of course continue to work on losing weight. So I'll call tomorrow to see if I can get in to see the neurosurgeon he recommended. This is not something I was expecting.

A few photos from Saint Lucia Approaching Environs Golden Princess Pitons

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I was howling last night, although not at the moon. I'll salute artists. I won't be a punk for a day. Good quote. Yes to the meal. Pass on the drink and wine. I've been to Saint Lucia on my first ever cruise, in 2004 on the Golden Princess - I'm not sure of the port name. BFF and I went on a catamaran to see the Pitons. It's 56 and cloudy, but going to be a nice day. I had the worst night of sleep last night. My watch shows I got 1H50min. I tried to remember things to be grateful for during the night, but it was tough. I had managed a 40 minute nap yesterday afternoon. The pain center called earlier and wanted to get me in today at 3. I had a dental cleaning at 2, and called to see if I could get in earlier or another day. Next available hygienist appointment is May 2024! I took it and asked to be put on the cancellation list. @seagarsmoker Happy Anniversary! @StLouisCruisers Happy Birthday to your niece Amy. Good luck to Ren with his eventual decision about where to play. Thanks for the Saint Lucia photos. @smitty34877 Continued prayers for Tana, you and the family. I hope the IV gets straightened out and that the antibiotics are working for Tana. @RMLincoln I hope DH's eye pressure improves. Condolences on the loss of your cousin. I envy those with lots of family. @0106 Nice photos. @Haljo1935 Safe travels. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for the photos. @dfish Thanks for the recipes. @rafinmd Sorry to hear of all the scheduling issues and the elevation in PSA.

Of course the pain management people called while I was at PT. I could have forwarded the home phone to my cell, although there are no cell phone signs around (but it was pretty empty today). I couldn't do much at PT, just some stretching after an ice pack, and a hot pack at the end. I called back but since they close at 4, I don't expect to hear anything today. I told them I'd be here until 1:30 tomorrow, as I have a dental cleaning at 2. @aliaschief Nice suite! I've never stayed in a suite of any kind. @Cruising-along I'm sorry to hear of your poor sleep. I'm not one to nap, but I might try this afternoon, if I can stand the recliner effect on my leg. @dfish Hopefully you can be scheduled soon after the CT is done.

Terry, I'm sorry to hear that Tana has pneumonia again. I'm sure cooler weather has adverse affects on her breathing as well. Prayers that the IV antibiotics will kick this infection. It's good that you want to do more normal things again. Prayers for your healing as well. Terri, that's good that you got an appointment for this week. I hope the doctor can come up with a plan to help. The phone just rang; I normally wouldn't answer, but thought it might be the pain clinic. Political call, ugh! My luck they'll call while I'm at PT.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I'll salute all 3 days, although I never really ate bologna until college. Good quote. I like the meal, drink and wine. I haven't been to Pointe-a-Pitre. A good day for Sheffield FC. It's sunny but starting off chilly. Up to 70 later. Well, I got about 3 hours of sleep, and gave up around 4AM. Most of the night was spent trying to find some position I could just lay in for a few minutes. Usually I'm moaning and praying during the severe pain, but I cried last night. 😢 Then this morning my leg was so numb I felt very unstable while taking a shower. So I called pain management and left a message on the nurse line, asking what can I do? Would an NSAID help any, or increasing my Gabapentin? Right now I'm feeling ok. I have PT later today. @aliaschief Bon Voyage Bruce and Sue! Your dinner last night sounds fabulous, and cool on that breakfast delivery. @Overhead Fred Happy Birthday! @Seasick Sailor Happy 32nd Anniversary Joy and Allen! @Spudd Cool photos. Welcome to the Daily! @kazu I'm glad you're home, even if it was difficult getting there. Condolences on the loss of Jose's BFF's DW; prayers for you, her DH and their family. @superoma I have no advice on the roses, but so nice to keep them going as they are meaningful to you. @cat shepard Cute ghost fashions. @smitty34877 Good news on not needing more digging to get rid of the oil. I hope you are doing ok, as well as Tana. @Cruzin Terri I hope the doctor can give you some answers about DH. @cruising sister Good news on the great stress test results.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. No MIL here. I recall moles and millimoles from college chemistry. There are a few decent talk show hosts around. Funny quote. I like the meal, pass on the drink, and yes to the wine. I have been to NZ, but not been to Gisborne. It's 56 and sunny here, after this AM's low of 34. It was lovely driving weather to take my car for inspection. The short section of the PA Turnpike I used had lots of golden trees, as the leaves were turning. I hate to sound like a broken record, but I had another awful night, with lots of pain and tingling in my leg, and inability to sleep. My techniques to ease it didn't do much. I need to be able to sleep! Usually when I finally get up for the day and move around it settles, but not today. My leg felt almost wooden on the gas pedal when I took my car in, and while I waited for the work to be done. It has finally improved now that I'm home. I looked at the post-procedure blurb, and it said you might have worse pain for 72 hours (this is longer). I'll hold off on calling for a few days. I'm to officially report in next Wednesday, 2 weeks after the injection. At least nothing was wrong with the car, just inspections and an oil change. @grapau27 Thanks for the mole explanation. @Heartgrove Lovely photos of Lily! @cat shepard I just posted something in one of the tech areas about the bolding issue, so I'll see if a mod answers. @RMLincoln I'm cheering you on as you take on your moving chores. @smitty34877 Nice park setting. I live near a nice one, but sadly we are warned not to walk alone (and I don't have a dog). The sun shining on one's face is always reinvigorating, I find. @Seasick Sailor Thanks for posting that reply. I think we all like a "daily" thread, not an ongoing one. @Cruzin Terri You did what you had to do. I hope DH can get some help; perhaps his anxiety is connected to his memory issues? Hugs to you both. @Mtn2Sea Thanks for the photos from Gisborne. @aliaschief Happy to hear that you and your luggage made it safely to Montreal! @Vict0riann Happy Birthday to your DS! Sorry to hear your DSIL tested positive. I hope she can change her plans and not expose others. @cruising sister I hope your stress test results were good. Continued prayers for Murphy. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

For the last few days, I can't make any text bold. I just highlighted the word bold in the previous sentence, and it's not. Has there been some change to the fonts or text settings on the boards?
