Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I have MS. For years I was on a biologic drug with a high copay. Before I went on Medicare the pharmaceutical company that made the drug covered my copay so I paid nothing. Once you get on Medicare pharmaceutical companies are prohibited from covering the copay. The National MS Society helped me apply for a grant from a philanthropic organization to cover my copay. Maybe the National Diabetes Association can help you find a grant. I really hope you can find some way to obtain this much needed support in your efforts to stay well.
  2. I watch BritBox quite frequently so it’s worth the fee for me. I used to subscribe to Acorn as well but have to draw the line somewhere as cable and internet fees are getting ridiculous. I also find that being a contributing member of PBS lets me watch many shows on the Passport app. For as little as $5 a month. I’ve already watched a new episode of Call the Midwife.
  3. Hello all! I read every day but only post occasionally. My DH and I have been to Montreal a number of times. The first was our honeymoon in 1972. Another trip for our 25th anniversary. We got the train in Saratoga Springs to Montreal and later continued on to Quebec City. We tried to return for our 50th in 2022 but Amtrak had not restarted following Covid. We had booked a Canada/New England on Holland but ended up canceling because the weather forecast was bleak. My material grandfather was baptized in Notre Dame. He was born across the river in the town of Laprairie. He lived to 105 years. Most of my DM’s cousins from Laprairie only spoke French. I hope all who are experiencing illness are soon recovered and all who are traveling have fair skies.
  4. I’m having trouble getting the blog. The link just shows the last post in November on the previous sailing.
  5. Wow! This was so informative! Thanks for taking the time.
  6. My DD bought a farmhouse in Hartwick a few years ago. Not far from Cooperstown. She worked in the ER at the hospital for awhile. When we went for a visit we had lunch at Mel’s and really liked it. I enjoy walking through old cemeteries and the one in town is where many early settlers were buried including a sizable section with the Cooper family and James Fenimore Cooper.
  7. I am very glad you did that. Medication mistakes should be taken very seriously. At best they may not have serious consequences but at worst they can be deadly.
  8. I hope you are still going to Bermuda. Over on the NCL board there is talk among those doing b2b that it will be too windy to get into Dockyard. Maybe Nassau? I hope you have a great time wherever you go!
  9. Roy just a thought. Make sure your carbon monoxide detector is working. One time I was exposed to carbon monoxide and the effects were always worse at the end of the day from the cumulative exposure.
  10. My late good friend Ian was from Yorkshire and would only put Lyle’s Golden Syrup on pancakes. When we had dinner together on Shrove Tuesday we would have pancakes for dessert. They were thin and more like crepes.
  11. It would help to know what your interests are but Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bojalian is one of his best IMHA. If you enjoy it you will have a good source to keep you going for a while.
  12. @kazu Jacqui, I am so very sorry for your loss.
