Camillus112 Posted October 7, 2017 #4579 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Cam: It is truly inspiring to see how many folks with roots in PR, including entertainers, politicians, and others stepping up to help and get emergency supplies delivered........Even the Mexican Govt. and the Canadian Military are involved. My poor friend still has little cell service with her family. I hope you are having better luck. Penny Thanks Penny, conditions are improving very, very slowly, and most of the population is still hurting. Our family and friends are coping, and are anxious to find out the extent of US help that will be approved. A big embrace to Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and other nations that are generously helping, especially with infrastructure work. When Irma struck and devastated the smaller islands, the boat and yacht owners in PR met to form what they called the Puerto Rican Navy, and brought more than 2,000 refugees to PR, which was not hit as hard. Those poor souls then suffered Maria with our people, and should be among the first to receive all sorts of aid, even if they are not US citizens. Hope it all works out.

Randyk47 Posted October 7, 2017 #4581 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Bummed out today. As I had mentioned in an earlier post our best friends and cruising partners were booked with us on the Spirit for the upcoming Rome to Dubai cruise. Their daughter is still going through intense chemotherapy for leukemia with the goal to get her into remission so they can do a bone marrow transplant. While she’s progressing it seems to be slower than hoped or expected so on the present timeline she’ll won’t be ready for the transplant until mid to late November which is time of the cruise. It was with great but understandable sadness that our friends dropped out of the cruise late yesterday. :( Edited October 7, 2017 by Randyk47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombatar Posted October 7, 2017 #4588 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Or how about: An Irishman walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder and orders a beer. The barman brings his beer, looks at the parrot on the mans shoulder and says "That's really neat, where did you get it?" "Dublin" says the parrot, "There's hundreds of them over there" Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted October 7, 2017 #4591 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Light mood on the Cooler today. Lots of funny stuff! Rounds in ICU weren't too bad so I was home early. Not all good news though, because that meant that I had to help Chris mop the floor! Should have stayed at work... :D *** An internist, radiologist, surgeon, and pathologist went out bird hunting. A bird flew over and the internist took aim, but didn't fire..."Well, it might be a duck, but I need to run some more tests..." The next bird flew over, and the radiologist took aim but didn't fire..."Gosh, it sure looks like a duck but I think I need another view..." The third bird flew over and the surgeon immediately shot it, then turned to the pathologist and asked, "What kind of bird did I just shoot?" Off to see if we can get a run in before dinner. It is humid and near 80 degrees out. Yuck! Randy, best of luck and positive thoughts to your friends. We all know that they'd much rather be with you. Bone marrow transplant has come a long way since I was an intern so here's hoping that all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
