Have to get a picture tomorrow of the house with the windows.

 

Right now we are still in NJ.  Board a train today at 1:45pm for ride back South to Virginia.

Be back home late tonight.

 

You are a regular Amtrak passenger, correct?  I'm thinking of booking my first Amtrak trip later this month, NY to Philly.  Question: How is their on-time performance?

 

The reason I ask is that when I take Metro-North train into NYC, the station is shared with Amtrak & it frequently seems the Amtrak trains are behind schedule, sometimes by many hours.  Not sure if that is typical or isolated to that one line, which is the Hudson line up to Montreal. From what I understand, there is a lot of freight trains that get priority schedule that impacts Amtrak, which hopefully is not the case between NYC & Philly.

I just shut off my notification settings also.  Lots of notifications from my Roll Call

I leave notifications on the bell but you can check those in your own time.

Go to basically any speed test site on the internet with your phone. I use:

https://www.speedtest.net/

 

Then take a screen shot of your results. I don't think you have a iphone for android phones it's  holding down the 'Power' and 'Volume down' buttons. For iPhone it's the 'Volume Up' and 'Power On' buttons on the side. Hope this helps.

Yes it was Julie who I have known for 4 years.

Sorry to hear your BP was very high and you had accidentally overdosed on a couple of medications.

I'm happy to see you posting on here.

Take care my friend.

Graham.

Yes, I do know how to do a screen shot. I don't know how meaningful these results are. Sometimes things go well and other times it takes forever for a website, like CC, to load.

There is no cure for two of the medical issues that I have,Venous Insufficiency and Parkinson’s.Both have gotten worse over the past year.

I took myself off the medications because the side effects are horrible and since the medications cannot cure the illnesses I have decided to live my life as long as it may be my way

I have had a wonderful life with many good friends.My father lived to age 85 with both of these illnesses and more.

Toby knows who the CC people are who I e-mail with and when I leave the planet or get to the point where I am unable to post on here.

Thank you to all those who have posted about me this past week.I sincerely appreciate your thoughts

It would seem that none of your issues are curable. If they were then you would no longer have those issues, correct?

I am dealing with 17 medical issues ,15 are curable.While theoretically one cannot die from Parkinson’s but illnesses related to the disease can cause one to leave the planet.

Well, if they are curable then why do you still have them?

Seems typical. One thing I learned from our last cruise is speeds vary greatly inside the cabin with on a balcony being the slowest, while near the door is much better and even best with the door cracked open. We were lucky in that our cabin was near the library where I could go and even get faster results.

The numbers may look good but the service is terrible. It is not a location issue. I have had great service in the cabin, Solarium,  Windjammer. Something is very different since yesterday and not in a good way.

I would suggest logging off the network and restarting your phone.  Reconnect and see if that helps at all.  I find that can help at times.

Good evening.

We took our lovely Sarah out for dinner tonight.

Sixty years ago today, the Beatles made their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.  
 

My sister sent me this picture today. Not sure the date it was taken, but the film was developed in May, 64. 

 

Needless to say, my drumming career never took off.  Maybe it had something to do with the quality of the instruments.  I had a good laugh over this. 🤣
