Sunshine3601 Posted June 12, 2022 #60327 Share Posted June 12, 2022 We arrived at LBI around 1 pm yesterday. This was the first time in a long time that I couldn't have my top down while driving here. We had a couple different pockets of rain throughout the journey. Rained for about 30 mins after we arrived. Chris and Donna arrived around 2 pm and said they had no rain. I filled up my car near Columbus flea market on Rt 206 for $4.83 (at home gas is now $5.09) and gas on the island is currently $5.29. When is this going to stop!!! We didn't feel going out to eat after unpacking, making beds and some minor cleaning of bathrooms from tenants that left yesterday morning. So we grilled some burgers and hot dogs. Why do they always better down the shore? It poured on on off for a couple hours this morning but has been cloudy/overcast with some peaks of sun this afternoon. We had breakfast at Mustache Bill's Diner near Barnegat Lighthouse. I have eggs benedict with crabmeat - delicious! Tonight we are either doing lobster rolls or pizza and chowder from Bay Village. Tomorrow we plan on picking up a couple dozen blue claw crabs and Eric and Chris will steam them and we can enjoy at our picnic table. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it has followed me forever. So I go out and Brandon’s brothers go he is practicing for having a daughter. Then he will get a second job and a shot gun when his daughter to be turns 13. To keep her safe. There was no way he could consume that beer in less than 15 min. I realize all men want a son. Especially the Incredible Hulk. But knowing Brandon his daughter will soon have him at her beckon call. Hi Sue. Adding our congratulations to you and your lovely family on the announcement of a granddaughter.

If you can get the doctor to also give you a prescription to Tramadol that works really good too. Good luck with the pain. I know it's no fun. Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated, but I've tried Tramadol 6 years ago after surgery for a cracked femur bone. Had no impact. At least the pain right now isn't as super intense as it was only days ago. Unfortunately, they tell me last minute when I'm "scheduled" for PT which prevents me from taking pain meds 30 mins. before a PT session. I asked for a specific time frame but I guess their schedule changes often. I have a great PT team so I really can't complain. @Sunshine3601Your LBI posts always make me miss the beach. Sounds like you're starting out having a great time. I know it will continue to be wonderful. It sounds like your happy place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's family would always call it the "Big Pizza Place". Not that the place is big but their pizza slices are huge. They swear its the best pizza place on the island. It would be a late night place to go, grab a slice from the pick-up window & then sit on at picnic table under a little pavilion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I run the test on my phone. it says 5G in the upper right corner. If I am not receiving 5G, it says LTE. The symbol you are showing is one I get when I am my home wifi. I keep wifi turned off on the phone. Yes, those are the correct ones. It is just that I was back on Wi-Fi when I took screenshots of the results. In the first results page, it shows it was Verizon 5G at the bottom of the page. In the second one, it shows it was on Spectrum Wi-Fi. I have had widely different results at times.

dani negreanu Posted June 12, 2022 Author #60339 Share Posted June 12, 2022 @LucasLikesToCruise so glad to see your name here. @DaniDanielle thinking about your family. @BonTexasNYwishing u a pain free recovery. @Luckynana, @Sunshine3601, @DaniDanielle and @grapau27, I’ll be very happy with your hugs through @sgmn Sue 😘 @Lionesss Sue & Rick, C&B, heartfelt congrats. After walking and walking a lot in Rome today (I started early and it was already oppressive hot at 10am, when they open the shops on Sunday), it reinforced my opinion that cruising is the best. After almost 2 days of city site seeing, standing on my feet and walking, I’m done. Luckily, tomorrow is boarding day, followed by a sea day. My feet will rest 😎 I’ll try to post separately a short video from Fontana da Trevi. On our last 2 visits it was under repairs and covered. It looks much nicer now. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll upload some photos where here. I'm sorry to hear about your pain continuing, hopefully will go away soon. It is a shame they cannot stick to a schedule. Eric had Tramadol a couple years ago and everytime he took it he would throw up within an hour so that's on the do not take list for him. Nothing worse then being in pain then violently get sick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
