My mother had Alzheimer disease, one of the more rare, early onset forms - early 60's - where she first lost her ability to speak coherently, followed by radical personality changes. Because her speech was reduced to gibberish, we could never determine how much long and short term memory loss there was. Despite our best efforts, my father and siblings could no longer care for her & checked her into a nursing home. The doctors said she would live only 18 months. She lasted 8 more years. At the same time, my sisters husband had Huntington Disease in his late 40s, which is also a degenerative brain disease. Seeing 2 family members slowly fade away is difficult and as you said, you only realize how bad when you are the one caring for them every days for years on end. Ain't I just a ray of sunshine today? Sorry to read the above.I know from personal experience how difficult that has been for you and your family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Lenny. It's been 15 years since Sister's husband passed and 13 years for my mother. Sometimes, it feels just like yesterday. I think this gloomy weather the past few days has put me in a gloomy mood. Heading off to re-read @Sea Dog and @bobmacliberty reviews & of course to follow @singinalot upcoming review to put me in a more sunny disposition. 🙂 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks having to depend on someone else winning a pennant slot for you vs just winning it outright. Guess you're hoping for a collapse reminiscent of 1969. 😉 Good luck Edited October 4, 2022 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be covered by insurance? It all depends. If a home is in a flood zone and the homeowners pays extra to have flood insurance, he’s covered. If he doesn’t have flood insurance, then if it is determined that the water was wind driven, he’s probably covered. If he is flooded, no flood insurance, and it is determined that the water was not wind driven, he is probably not covered. The government has a program called FEMA that helps people whom insurance will not cover. Anyone up on homeowners, correct me if my info is baaad! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. H. Posted October 4, 2022 #73263 Share Posted October 4, 2022 So very sorry to hear that, Lenny. That is so sad. I went to CVS Minute Clinic last Thurs. Was told I have Laryngitis. Feels more like Bronchitis. Started to feel better yesterday, but not so much at 4am. Was coughing during night. Fever back this afternoon. WTH?! I'm supposed to go to TN on Monday. Cousin in TN has Covid for 11 days now. Got it while in NJ visiting her son. If I'm still sick on Friday when I see my doc, I'll cancel and go thru my travel insurance. If I'm feeling fine, I'll still go and make the best of it. I was already looking at a cruise to Canda/NE at the end of this month in case TN is out. lol LET'S GO METS!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted October 4, 2022 #73266 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I don't want to start a whole thread just for one question so I thought I'd ask here. Next March will be our first time on an Oasis class ship and our first time experiencing "Royal Suite Class". We've been in a suite before but I understand that on Oasis it is different. One question I have is about the free beverages in the suite lounge. Ive read on other threads that there is free beer and wine available in the suite lounge from 11 to 11. Can you also get soda and bottled water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Suite Concierge on Ovation told us that Oasis class has stopped free drinks from 11-11 but I’ve not seen that reported elsewhere. Will believe it when I see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted October 4, 2022 #73268 Share Posted October 4, 2022 The leaves are starting to show more color here. We took our daughter to the lake for a walk. The doctor says she needs to keep up with exercise, even though she may not feel like it. So we do our part to keep it up. It was perfect weather for walking. I spent the last couple days working on my John Deere tractor, and just came in to relax, when Susan said “Mr. K. is mowing. You should go do it for him.” Well, Mr. K. Is 96 and walks with a cane, and his doctor has told him to stay off his tractor. Usually, one of our friends does the mowing for him, and we do leaves and snow removal. But they went to Florida to check on their house, so it hadn’t been done for a week or so. So I went over and mowed for him. It was nice that my wife had a nice filet waiting when I finished. I see a couple drinks, and relaxing in the hot tub in my future tonight. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the Yankees did their best to throw away their double-digit lead, it never got real tight. Edited October 5, 2022 by HBE4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nephew bought me tickets for NY Rangers opening night next Tuesday. Hoping they can finish what they started last year and not come crashing back to earth. Opening against Tampa should be a nice start. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted October 5, 2022 #73275 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Aaron Judge just hit # 62 most ever in the American League and most people and reporters believe is the true home run record. We had tickets for tonight’s game and had to give them up because of a medical issue , glad our friends and New York native did attend and sent us the video . Go Yankees. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
