Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Loved “coming along” on this cruise adventure. Looking forward to following along on the next one. Thanks so much.
  2. Good news, Lois! I had that happen once and the nurse had to call a tech who had no problem. Later that day I noticed a really large bruise where the nurse had made her attempts. Nothing at the spot the tech used. Sounds like your tree is becoming a full time job, Kat. We are hopefully making progress toward removal of the dead tree. The utility company came out to mark where the lines are which included putting yellow flags in the ground and spray paint on the sidewalk. Wonder if the flags will last until the city makes a return visit. Expecting nice weather over the weekend. Can’t believe that Memorial Day is just a few days away.
  3. I can emphasize with those of you who have dealt with or are dealing with problem trees. Here is my story. About a year before Covid hit the tree in our parking strip died. Now parking straps are city owned as are the trees in them. We called the city and we were told they would be out in a few months to look at it and remove it. Never happened and then Covid hit and everything shut down. Time passed and we made another call. This time we were told that the arborist had to look at it first. However since everyone was working from home nobody could come out. Now how does the arborist work from home and why can’t this employee work outside safely? No answer to that question. Finally called the city counsel person for our district. He promised to look into it. Another year passes and another call to the city. Now the excuse was that the crews were way behind because everyone had just returned from working at home. The tree is small and dead! Our gardener said he would take it out for us but since it is a city owned tree we needed a permit that would cost us $225! So another call to the city council person although I don’t know why because it did not do any good the first time. Called anyway and we were put on a list with other residents who had similar problems. More time passed and today I saw a city truck parked in front and an employee marking the surrounding grass area with spray paint. I really thought the tree was finally leaving the neighborhood! Nope, how someone else has to come out and make sure there are no utility lines/pipes near the tree. Employee claimed “it’s a process” and it will be another 2 weeks before he can take the tree out! I won’t hold my breath! That tree is small and we thought it might just fall over during all the rain but no ,that didn’t Happen. So there is my tree tale. Good luck with yours! OOTD something cool, it’s 95 today! Oh and not much make up either,
  4. Looking forward to another one if your “live from” threads and will enjoy watching you and your mom making amazing memories. As the mother of adult children, there is noting better than sharing adventures with my children. Happy travels!
  5. Lois, thanks for your concern about flooding. Fortunately, we are not in any danger where we live. Still a scary situation for many who are. Great that you are going to volunteer at the hospital. Sounds like lots of preparation which, as you said, is probably because it’s a hospital. Kat, congrats on the weight loss and I laughed when you said that you don’t want to loose any more weight. Most of us will never be able to say that! Another opportunity to attend a Bocelli concert-lucky you! I am still waiting for my first opportunity. Melody, love your new “do” and I bet it will be great in the summer heat as well as easy to care for. I second Lois’s suggestions, Melissa. They Well,, guess what, we got a call early this morning with a recording telling us that we have won the Publisher’s Clearing House grand prize! The recording included a confirmation number and a phone number to call to arrange for delivery. Now this may have been good news IF we had actually entered this contest…… 🤣 Have a great day all!
  6. Well, the heat has arrived here in central CA and with it flood warnings as the snow in the mountains melts and the rivers are now flooding. Yosemite has closed 3 campgrounds leaving visitors scrambling for an alternative. Many residents now worried about flooding even though there has been a lot of preparation, it really isn’t known just how much water will make its way into the valley. We are not affected but so many are including those who look forward to using the rivers and lakes for water recreation. Much is now off limits because just too dangerous. Looks like several land and sea vacations are planned. The travel season for so many has begun! Take care all.
  7. 300 pages-that calls for a round of applause.👏👏👏 First for Kat who started this thread and then for all those who have contributed. Shall we have a virtual toast as we begin working on the next 300?🥂 How about another virtual toast to celebrate Cynthia’s retirement 🥂-many happy days ahead! As for land trips, we have one in the works for the end of Aug and into Sept. Details in progress. Love your dress, Melody. BTW how is your foot doing?
  8. Thanks for taking us along, Kat. Great pictures! Happy to read that relaxing was a success. Only caught a bit of the coronation festivities. I did see the crowning but little else. Also heard that there was a smaller balcony group-just the working members of the family.
  9. Amazing pictures, Kat. Especially liked the bears and that one in a tsyher revealing pose-what can I say🙀
  10. Welcome home, Cynthia! I enjoyed all the pics that you posted. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. Kat, hoping you see this before sailing. Wishing you many exciting adventures. Lois, I believe that doctors who are contracted with Medicare and most are, can’t balance bill unless they have informed you ahead of time and you agree. I also believe that includes other medical providers. If that isn’t correct, perhaps another poster will comment or you could check with the Medicare. Good luck! Spring here is quickly turning into summer and I’m determined to get going on projects that have been on the list for a long. Getting estimates on some new window coverings, working on the yard and patio, still working on clearing out old files and that is now urgent as there is a free shred day in 3 weeks. And so it goes! Wishing all a good week end. Sharon
  11. Good news Lois, about your disposal. Even better news about the possibility of a Panama Canal cruise. We did one a few years ago. It was 19 days-Fort Lauder dale to San Diego. Loved it. Sorry about your laptop, Kat. Yes I’ve used google many times-usually pretty helpful and not just for techie stuff. When so you leave? Today is fairly warm so blue ankle pants with gray tee. Take care all, Sharon
  12. Purple, looks like you really enjoyed your birthday cruise. I hope your DH can work out his surgery plan so he can enjoy your daughter’s wedding. I see that there were still a few cherry blossoms left in one if your ports, Cynthia. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Good luck with your MacBook, Kat! I had an issue with my router. It kept asking for the password with some of my devices. However it said the password was incorrect. Was concerned that someone had hacked into it and changed the password. Couldn’t sign into the ap because my phone was not using my router so wasn’t recognized. Finally just unplugged the router and all was ok when I plugged it in.🤷‍♀️ Good thing because I had no idea what else to try. Hope your fix is as easy. As for trying to remember how to fix these things, I kave to keep notes on my printer fixes. It does crazy things from time to time😵‍💫 Weather warming up and that is causing flooding concern as the snow pack melts. The rivers are running very full and all recreational use is prohibited. Can’t remember it ever being like this in all the years we’ve lived here. wising all a good week ahead. Sharon
