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.

OR maybe you're thinking of the work involved when you reach halfway up the top of the ladder? 😄

No cat and nothing seems frayed.

Thanks. It's a wired mouse so no battery (I think). No biggie, "mice" are not expensive but the one I have should work for more than 10 months.

Can't wait to get a new computer mouse. My current one isn't recognized anymore and I get a pop up that apparently it malfunctioned. It's less than a year old. When I go into settings, it lists my mouse as working. Luckily my computer is touch screen but I am way too used to a mouse and prefer it over the built in touch pad or using my fingers to navigate all over the screen. Another glorious day here in the Dallas area. Forecast: Low 80s, bright sunshine. Perfect! Dani, no matter what's going on in my life you and your family are constantly in my thoughts and prayers! Jack talks to his sister and friends in Israel almost daily and although their worry level is thru the roof, their strength amazes me.

I saw that show once when I was still in school and never forgot it. Was it in A&S? That was my favorite store. When I still lived in Manhattan I used to take the subway to Hoit/schermehorn station in Brooklyn to go to that A&S. Yes to no sales tax on clothing! I had lunch at Tom Sawyer diner last year, Ridgewood Rd., right outside the old Paramus Park Mall. So different now. Both the mall and the diner. They didn't call it the poop cruise for nothing.

@taznremmy Pat, let me add my good wishes for you to have a fabulous cruise with smooth sails.

Maryann, whenever I think of the GSP I think of Paramus Park Mall.
