We get insurance on the Fridge, Best Buy has a deal if it breaks and they can’t fix it in 30 days they give you a new one , got new fridge since ice maker had problems.

 We usually get extended warranties on all our appliances but with the dishwasher we didn’t this time. Our mistake.

If you do decide to do the Clifton Heritage tour package.    It is a nice scenic ride as the park is at the other end of the island.    Our lunch included a choice of a fish or chicken dish and was very tasty.   We really loved this area and will definitely go back again.    

Do you know if they check your age to self guide snorkel?  The snorkel tour mentions the age range is 4-65 no exceptions so I am hesitating to book.  I don't feel that old sigh.

We had a Bosch worked great for ten years we got new Bosch only because my wife wanted new appliances when we remodel kitchen. Fridge is only thing we get insurance on.

We have one of those plans where they come out for a service charge and fix the appliance for free.  It’s been great a couple of times for the air conditioner units.  I asked the guy when he fixed my temp control on my oven which appliances he has less calls on.  He says Whirlpool is best.  LG, Samsung and Kitchen aide he works a lot on.  Of course I have builder grade LG.
 

 Just kind of waiting for the dishwasher to go out as it’s been 11 years.  My washer and dryer are probably about 20 years old.  DH wanted to get me fancy new ones but I said no.  We will wait until they die and then I’m still getting basic stuff. I have a 40 year old freezer in garage that just keeps going.  My fridge is fancier but that’s the only thing I think is worth it. I have never used my convection oven setting but do use the warming drawer.
 

It’s always something. I have a friend with a new Bosch that she’s had nothing but trouble with.  You can also get a lemon.

My May cruise goes to Cocoa Cay.  What I was thinking for that day is to go to the Chill Island section.  We just want a chair in the shade, access to food, drink, bathrooms and maybe some snorkeling.  Does this sound like the right area for that?

 

We usually go to whatever beach has the floating bar.  It occassionally moves.  We've seen it at both South Beach and whatever the beach is to the left of Coco Beach Club.  We'll swim/wade out there once, maybe twice for a drink.  It also makes for some interesting people watching.  Not a good idea though if you prefer a more natural view.

I plop down on the side that faces the ship.

You could always get a cabana at the Coco Beach Club. They are listed in my cruise planner for Odyssey in February for $2899.... as if that is going to happen. 

That’s a bargain.  Look at our August prices.

Based on a Harlan Coben book?  Pretty sure I’ve read it.  Most of the tv adaptations of his books have been good

Sorry know nothing of the team but the puppy is adorable

@Sea Dog hey Greg. How is Linda doing?  When is your hernia operation scheduled?

Don't overdo it with taking all of your decorations down 

[Luckynana]

@dani negreanuThinking of you, your DH, and son.  ❤️🙏

Lindas doing better than me. Her pain has not been bad at all but then again her arm is in a sling and she’s not moving it any. She has her post op Thursday and should get the ok to start therapy which will be good.

 

Hernia is extremely uncomfortable and hurts. I don’t think it’s gotten to the point where I need emergency surgery but waiting another 6 weeks before I can have it fixed is weighing on me.

 

I’m frustrated only in that I’m hurting 24/7 with either my knee or groin. Life is not fun right now. I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me. It is what it is and I will get better.

I’m a idiot. My mind is not with it today as I’m hurting. Going to be one of those days I think. I should go back to bed. Just got out of therapy and I’m exhausted and sore.

Sorry you are feeling rough Greg.   Back to bed & more rest sounds good

Problem is when I lay down that’s when my knee hurts the most and restless leg syndrome sets in. I do better when I’m moving around a little. I’m so tired as I only get about 4-6 hours a sleep per night.

That su___ks.  You need sleep for your knee to heal.  Is there any possibility to get in earlier b for the hernia?

Knee surgeon wants me to wait 3 months before having another surgery due to infection concerns. That would put me in the first week of February so I have surgery scheduled for the Valentine’s Day on the 14th. The only reason hernia surgery could get moved up if my intestines start poking out and I have severe pain.

Hopefully that doesn't happen.  No complications needed.  You need to be ready for next Christmas.  I love how you decorate.
