Lenny, how disappointing. What did he have to say? He must have spent some time with you. Why would he think you would want to see him again?

Your very moving post touched me on many levels. The one comment that resonates with me is: Whenever I think of my Dad, it is not as he was during those last years,but when he was a strong and vital man who loved my mother and me very much. I think of both my parents that way every day of my life since they've been gone. Sweet, gentle, kind and so loving it brought me to tears now. For those with parents, hug them a bit longer the next time you see them.

What you posted above reinforces the comment I once made. You're the kind of doctor everyone wishes they had. With the ER doc, he was treating an "ailment" not a person. My x-rays came out negative for fractures so that's all he cared about. Onward to the next patient....errrr ailment. BTW I can't seem to quote multiple posts anymore. I hit refresh but that didn't work so now I have to quote each post individually.

There was a time a few weeks ago (months ago?) you posted "Bonnie take it to the roll call". I shrugged it off and just thought of it when I responded to the mahjong comment. As you said, no worries. It's all good. One can dream!!!! If possible, would you consider making a stop in Europe for a few days first to break up that long flight?

And miss Buc'ees????

Just wanted to mention that I spent 4 hours in the ER today with fears that I broke something near my toes on the foot with the ankle surgery. I developed pain,, I mean extreme pain in that area. I could only hobble, not walk. I was thrilled at the results; no fracture but lots of inflammation. So, back to wearing the dreaded boot while walking and ice the area when I don't walk. Next week is a follow up podiatrist visit to see what will be next. ER doc said it's common with post foot surgical patients when they attempt to walk after being non weight bearing for 6 weeks as I was. BTW the ER doc never looked or touched my foot. I only took my shoe off for the xrays and put it back on immediately after. I guess the xrays told the whole picture. No more torture PT sessions until after the Podiatrist follow up visit.

Did I read mahjongg??? I mentioned in Friends of Bella's thread, or the roll call thread awhile back that I would buy a mahjong set and bring it with me to play on the Bella cruise. The problem is this thread is the go to thread for practically all of us. Dani, I will try very hard to post all future Bella cruise comments either in the roll call thread or the Friend's of Bella thread as you once suggested. I just couldn't resist since I saw the mahjong comment in here.

I received a text a few moments ago SUPPOSEDLY from Chase advising me to click on the link they provided to confirm or deny a charge made in Baton Rouge, LA. As if..................... At least, every word was spelled correctly. 😏

I am so sorry for what you are going through with your mom. She raised an exceptional son. Hugs to you ((((((( Lucas))))))))

Great menu. We'll have to visit next time we're in Galveston. Have you been to the Buc-ees in Melissa on 75? Quick trip when we lived in Allen. There's one in Ft. Worth also. For good reason.

Cleanest restrooms and the best bbq sandwiches. Walking along The Strand and Seawall is a treat I hope you won't miss. What hotel are you staying in? Hope you're pleasantly surprised at the food on Liberty. Enjoy every moment!

Agree! @Jimbo Your property is gorgeous. If you can, please post a picture when it's in full foliage color.

People in here are mean? Nahhhhhh

Yom Huledet Sameach to your grandson. What a sweet and proud smile! I was just about to post that but saw you beat me to it. Hope @LuckynanaMaryann will post soon and let us know what a good time they had.

Robyn, hi! Do you think he does that for everyone? 🙂 Have a great upcoming b2b cruise.

OMG how cute are those kids???!!!!!

If dynamics worked for us, we would hop on a plane to cruise for 4 nights in a NY (TX) minute! You and Lisa HAD to take this cruise to experience another Over the Rainbow moment.

My ex-Brooklyn BIL became an instant Mets fan when his beloved Dodgers abandoned Brooklyn for California. His son followed and named his dog Shea to honor Shea Stadium.

You say nothing so eloquently.

I vaguely remember that show. I loved the show where his office was in a garage? Maybe Vegas? Unfortunately, he died all too young.

@h20skibumMark, so sorry to hear you said your final goodbye to Lucy. May she RIP and may you be comforted in the joy she brought to your family.

The original Love Boat Show was instrumental in opening up cruise industry popularity. It was an iconic show, and we welcomed the cast into our homes and looked forward to seeing them every week. I don't watch much TV now but watching a re-do of one of my favorite shows would not be on my agenda. Capt. Stubing - stern with a heart of gold Julie - perky Doc = womanizer from the get go Isaac - fun guy, best smile Gopher - cute as a button And, nobody can sing the opening Love Boat song like Jack Jones. Nobody,

Whenever I hear Over the Rainbow, I will be thinking of your precious Allie. Here's to many loving rainbows.

Happy Anniversary! Wishing you many more wonderful celebrations. @dani negreanuDani, your friends pictures are lovely. How special to maintain relationships for so many years and YES, Israelis are open and friendly. Jack is still in touch with his school and army friends. They share a history and a bond that is amazing.

Greg, spectacular review! I too thought you are now getting off the ship. Will you do a review of your upcoming Liberty cruise? As far as the cabanas, isn't there a limit to how many can rent one?
