Debbie, I totally agree about a one story house. After several two story houses, when we moved 22 years ago, we built a single story, and our house in Quartzsite is also a single story. So much safer, unless you do like I did a few years ago, and trip over the vacuum cleaner -- no damage except to my pride. Glad the catact surgery went well. The communication about when to pick him up was a mess.. Hope things work more smootly next week. Actually, we were expecting the cancellation after all the turmoil Covid has caused the last 18+ months. Australia is now taking tentative steps to open up, but with all the restrictions on cruising worldwide, I can understand why Princess felt they could not guarantee the ports. Since things have been so iffy since we booked in April, I really did not let myself get excited about the cruise which was still six months away. We've decided to take the offer to transfer to the 2024 WC at the same price. In two years, who knows what the cruise will cost. We can always cancel before final payment if we decide we don't want to do the cruise. I tried the baking soda paste to clean my oven after I'd used it for about ten years. I did not get the good results you did. Maybe, it was too dirty, and I think I waited too long. Parts of the oven that weren't too bad came clean, but the really dirty parts are still a little dirty. I'm still finding some baking soda paste residue in the oven. Lenda Sadly I does need to be done more often to be effective. And cleaning the racks is still a pain. I usually stick those in a plastic bag overnight with a dish of ammonia. I used to soak them in my bathtub but my new tub is a soaker tub and too narrow so I rely on the ammonia. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother-in-law died very suddenly last night. He had been battling cancer, but this was heart attack/or stroke and he was gone in less than 5 minutes. So, I will be leaving for Phoenix in the next day or two. I haven't been able to see her in 3 years because of his cancer, and COVID. Will spend several days with her. And just after my laments about flying to Phoenix, will have to figure things out. American Airlines out of GJ, or Southwest out of town an hour away. We shall see. Thank goodness, I can just go however things work out! So very sorry to hear about your brother in law. Prayers for your family at this difficult time. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dentist retired last year, as many did. I hadn't needed anything other than just cleanings for many years. I asked if they made crowns in this office and he said some they do, but mine no. I'm the odd one out with a big old house with 3 floors and 4 if you count the basement. The couple I bought it from made the back porch into a bedroom (now my den) and a pantry into a bathroom, as the husband couldn't do stairs due to a heart condition. I do wonder if I'll be able to make all the steps some day in the future. Sorry about the WC cancellation. Vanessa 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we should all pay more attention on the stairs. I've been using the handrail on my way down lately I've noticed. In the past I didn't use it, but I guess I'm thinking more about it as I age. A fall on the stairs would be a stupid way to go!😇 Somehow I missed reading you had a fall. I hope you are ok and didnt do any damage. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USN59-79 Posted November 4, 2021 #106 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Kind of cold, wet and windy this week here. Yesterday afternoon I stopped at the end of our cul de sac to pick up the mail. Shifted the 4Runner to drive and nothing. Tried all the other gears and 4WD and it still wouldn't move. Walked half a block home, got the DW and her car, and we towed it to a safe parking place next to the house. This morning checked the transmission fluid - fine. Made an appointment at a local transmission shop and called for a tow. It would be a 3 hour wait and $129. Looked up the code on the dash (AT/P) online and it said the 4WD lever could have been knocked into neutral. Tried moving it around and Voila, problem solved. Cancelled the tow and shop appointment and probably saved somewhere between $250 and $2500, so today has turned out to be a good day! Looks like I probably hit the lever with my knee when I jumped into the cab to avoid the rain. Been talking to my TA about our upcoming 2023 Westerdam cruise around Japan for 28 days. This replaces our 2020 Westerdam cruise to the same area and the same month. HAL had given me about 3.2K worth of FCC for the cancelled cruise and we want to use it for the replacement cruise. However, HAL says the FCC will expire in 2022. The TA says he has talked to upper management at HAL and there is an excellent chance that in two months they will extend the cancellation date to 2023. We will see. 19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted November 4, 2021 #107 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) @Horizon chaser 1957oh my gosh, your view is absolutely idyllic! Are you staying there for the duration, or do you have another place booked for the balance of time? @dfishthank you for the update on @Krazy KruzersDH; I am saddened to hear he has passed, but comforted knowing they are united once more. May they both rest in peace. When we were at the Museum of Antiquities in Cairo, they didn't allow any photography inside, so everyone had to lock their cameras up in some pretty sketchy looking lockers at the edge of the property. Fortunately after the tour, none of them were missing, but we all wondered if we'd ever see them again. We have a bi-level (walk in the front door and either go up 7 steps or down 8), and a number of years ago I managed to walk off the top step in the dark on my way to work. DH had already taken his car to work for the day, so it was just me and our cat Muggins at home - she helped greatly while I laid on the floor of the landing by crawling up on my chest and purring, while making biscuits with her paws. I ended up getting to the office but was in such pain that a colleague took me to the medi-clinic where it was discovered I'd torn the ligaments in my ankle. Ever since that time I've used the handrail without fail - and it has saved me a few times when in a hurry. Stay safe everyone, have a nice evening ahead! Smooth Sailing! 🙂🙂🙂 Gerry Edited November 4, 2021 by ger_77 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realize it was broken until I told DH I was going to see my doctor about the edema in the elbow. He jumped up, examined me and said feel this elbow (my good one) what do you feel - bone, right? Now feel this one - what do you feel? NOTHING. There is nothing there Jacqui. Pack an overnight. Take off your engagement ring and we’re going to the hospital now. You won’t be coming home. You need an operation to save that elbow.

Sea Viewer Posted November 5, 2021 #119 Share Posted November 5, 2021 My husband fell going into the bathroom earlier this year. Fell against shower door and got himself wedged between shower and toilet. I had to call paramedics to get him up. Fortunately nothing was broken (except the shower). Just finished the installation of the replacement shower with safety bars installed and a lowered threshold. I also have night lights in the bathrooms now and try to get him to walk carefully. His all-time great fall though was out of bed on a transatlantic cruise!! Again had to get help to get him up. It's always an adventure. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabbyPatti Posted November 5, 2021 #122 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Dear Dailyites! Be careful out there, too many falls! @StLouis Cruiser Hope you are feeling okay! I like the quote today! I always felt as if folks used more common sense they wouldn't be meeting me in the ER! @Vict0riann Glad to see that the Coho is sailing again, hubby and I took a road trip around the Olympic Peninsula, parked our vehicle, then took a side trip on the Coho over to Victoria for the day! Had a wonderful time. Be careful and stay safe out there everyone! We have "wind warnings" here tonight, hope everyone has things tied down! I am sure most the leaves will be off the trees in the morning. Denise 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted November 5, 2021 #123 Share Posted November 5, 2021 8 hours ago, StLouisCruisers said: Eva, thanks for that advice. Luckily there is only the top element visible and needing to be avoided, then. The lower element is hidden beneath the oven floor (instead of visible inside the oven) which makes it so hard to change out. It required the whole unit to be removed for them to get to it. We had the same unit, but in white. For us, the light bulb in the microwave went out, and when I finally got it repaired, it cost some $300. The repairman had to remove the entire microwave unit to make the change. A little or a year later, the microwave started taking longer and longer to cook something, then it smelled like burning insulation. We ended up with new appliances in stainless steel, because the refrigerator and dishwasher were both starting to act up, and stainless allowed us to get a better selection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
