We didn't see them when we sailed Allure in July, though. I guess we weren't looking at the right time. We used to see the dolphins every time after boarding in Galveston. The last few years, we haven't. I read a newspaper article a few years back questioning the decrease in numbers at/near the Galveston port. So happy to hear that some folks have seen them recently. I worry that industrial pollution, etc, might harm them. Edited October 3, 2023 by Etta1213 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently still not eating since my throat is still swollen shut, but that seems to going down quickly, I actually had some pudding by mouth this morning. And I actually able to talk a little. My goal now to is to eat a complete meal by mouth. And get rid of the feeding tube in my stomach. Sailing on 10/14 now is looking doable. Which is also my 80th birthday. That is good to hear. I hope you continue to improve. wishing you an early happy birthday on the 14th 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a challenge with the control on the right side. I have already ran over our Solo cruiser's toes and hit into some chairs. Although I am not getting what I want I am content. Life is better when we can be content. It's a blessing just to get out on a cruise. We were hanging out in the Solarium hot tube where I met another person from the area I grew up in Ohio. It was fun talking with him. When I went to leave I couldn't get out of the Hot tube! My new friend and a couple more others came over and helped me out! So many kind people. John, you are a wonderful example of turning lemons into lemonade. Continue to enjoy your cruise with family and kind friends. 5 hours ago, Ozark_Kid said: Breakfast in the Windjammer. Was able to get my Corn Beef Hash. Be still my heart....LOX!! BUT with cream cheese please 😋 That yellow stuff (cheese?) next to the eggs looks like a heart. 59 minutes ago, Etta1213 said: We used to see the dolphins every time after boarding in Galveston.

HBE4 Posted October 3, 2023 #104765 Share Posted October 3, 2023 4 hours ago, lenquixote66 said: My friends who are Yankee fans never liked Gerardi. I liked Giriadi as a player. Always called a good game, including David Cone's perfect game. Known more for his defensive skills, he did have a few bit hits including the game-winning, World Series-clinching Game 6 in 1996 against one of the best pitchers at the time, Greg Maddux. As a manager, meh. It seemed like the first couple of years were good but he was too rigid and by-the-book. A pitcher could have a shutout but as soon as he reached the "magical" 100-pitch count, Giradi would always pull him out & turn it over to the bullpen. Blew more than a few games that way. Plus, it seemed like he was very uptight and I think that translated into a uptight clubhouse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing that Sharon and your friends are giving you a wide berth when walking together. I usually let them walk in front. They are enjoying not having to push the transport chair/rollator. I wish I had video of hitting the chairs out by the pool. At least noone was in them. I guess part of it was getting excited to get to the ice cream! 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
