Greg, I'm so sorry to read this. As the saying goes, don't borrow trouble. Hoping all goes well for you and Linda so that you can keep on cruising.

Maryann what a beautiful picture! Your granddaughter on your far left in dark jeans looks just like you! Lucky gal. Sue, I hit the wrong key and the space for me to respond to your post went in cyber space. What I wanted to post was that I do use my air fryer on occasion for burgers, chicken, fries. I use my slow cooker for stews, casseroles.

That pie is swoon worthy! It's good she has an astute doctor who noticed her physical condition.

Do what I do after every cruise. Don't get on a scale. 😇 Wishing all a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving. May your holiday table always be filled with the love of family and friends. And a special wish for Dani and family to see the light at the end of this nightmare. Hoping to see the hostages freed soon!

Good to read. Thanks. I do, however, worry about his lack of appetite. Of course. Jack's endocrinologist insisted it's the best drug for him. I'm happy we can get medical info in here from medical professionals. Uh oh, not good. Of course I'm not a doctor but perhaps this should have been addressed with her doctor before she became skin and bones and sounds like total loss of appetite. I hope her new meds work for her.

Sounds like losing weight when you don't have to, might be a problem on Ozempic. Jack doesn't need to lose any more weight and I notice his loss of appetite makes him eat less than he should.

Jack has been on Ozempic for quite awhile. He has type 2 diabetes and his numbers have never been better, plus he lost approx. 30 pounds and looks and feels great. First time ever. So far, no problems getting his prescription filled.

Perfection! I never cared for beaver nuggets, but their brisket sandwiches are a must! @Arzeena Have a fabulous cruise @Sea Dog Greg, I'm so glad that your 2nd knee replacement is doing much better than the first. I hope you get your other issue taken care of soon. I must mention our delightful weather. Today a balmy, sunny, 72 and tomorrow high of 50s. Such is our weather and I am not complaining.

What a handsome guy. Jackson, the world is waiting for you!!

Our first cell phone approx 1992, looked like yours and came in a hard side attaché case. My, how times have changed!

@DaniDanielle Marietta, your sweet granddaughter is far lovelier than Taylor Swift.

Very cool!

Let me add my condolences on the passing of your sweet Joebob. Just....WOW!

@HBE4 More hugs from me too. So sorry to read this and sorry I hit the "like" button. Nothing to like about it. Should be a hug button or maybe a "sorry" button.

Me three Lenny.

@taznremmy Oh no, Pat, so sorry this happened. I hope you aren't in much pain and can enjoy the rest of your trip. @brillohead Debi, as long as people are willing to pay those prices, the cruiselines will continue to charge those high rates. I can't imagine paying over $70 per day/pp for a drink package, yet it seems to be a very popular option. @Sea DogGreg, how are you doing today? Jack ordered your knee brace on Amazon. It's scheduled for delivery on Wednesday and hope it's as beneficial for him as it was for you.

No rolls. All the ingredients are loose in the pot. Unstuffed cabbage. Same taste.

Both, but mine isn't stuffed.

Debi, whenever I see "Battle Creek" I think of Rice Krispies! I love the original song "never gonna give you up" Dani, my heart is with you. Stuffed cabbage is one of my and Jack's favorite dishes. I make "un"stuffed cabbage. Less work since I know I couldn't make the rolls work for me. I tried once. Oy!

Greg, you have exhibited a kind and caring heart in here numerous times. That says it all. Linda knows!

Most memorable finale of a comedy tv show was Newhart when Suzanne Pleshette and Bob Newhart wake up in their bedroom from the 1st Bob Newhart Show. Bob says he had a dream that he was a Vermont Inn Keeper. So clever.

Veterans deserve our thanks and gratitude for serving our country. Hope you enjoy your meal. It's a balmy mid 50s right now going up to 60s. People here who never experienced real cold winters are wearing puffy winter jackets today. I'm just wearing a long sleeve top.

Thanks for the info, Debbie. We tend to eat light lunches, especially on a cruise. I used to like the Tutti salad in the MDR. I assume they aren't back?

I noticed the pre Black Friday sale has the soda package at $8.99/day. Jack doesn't drink soda and since I usually have 3-4 per day on a cruise, it sounds like a good deal. I hope they offer caffeine free diet soda at the machines. I doubt they have it at the bars. Do both of us have to buy the soda package and how long does this sale last? Dining package dropped in price, but we're 2 people who feel the MDR food is sufficient.

Lenny. so sorry this happened to you but I would imagine the fear would be for escalators, not height. I felt great after I had my gall bladder out and I had it the surgical, invasive way. My friend had it done the laparoscopic way and she was back at work the next day. Minimal pain for both procedures. @Sea Dog Greg, I am so sorry you're feeling so miserable and unfortunately, not just from knee pain. I hope you get some relief very soon.
