Thank you for explaining.

Both Jack and I grew up with no AC.  Me, in NY, he in Israel.  Our 1st apt., thankfully had ac.  We bought my parents an ac window unit which I suspect was hardly used.  They said it was too cold!

 

I had a weird experience at the Kroger deli counter.  This could almost have happened to Sue

@LionesssI know she could tell it better:

 

Me:  Can I please have 1/2 pound Boar's Head Genoa salami sliced thin?

DL (deli lady): Did not respond and seemed to not understand.

 

Me: I repeated, spoke louder and slower

DL: No response but took out the roast beef.

 

Me: No that's not salami as I commenced to point to it in the showcase.

DL:  No response but took out different roast beef

 

Me: Can you please come around to my side so I can show you the salami I want?

DL: No response and took out garlic baloney

 

Me: Jack come here and help us please?  Leave it to a guy with an Israeli accent to get through to her.

 

Me:   Now I'll have 1/2 pound of lemon pepper turkey

DL:  Finally got it right after 2 failed attempts taking out other deli meat

 

Me: (after I had everything in my cart) Excuse me, can I have 1/3 pound of the lemon pepper turkey you just gave me

DL; We don't have that

 

Me: You just cut 1/2 pound.  I picked up the pkg from my cart and showed it to her.

DL: She just shrugged her shoulders

 

Me: Have a nice day, walking away in disbelief.

 

If this was 50 years ago, I bet I would have been on Candid Camera.

 

We were in a rush to get home. Should I have reported her? I feel the store was at fault, not her personally or maybe I have a soft heart🤨

Service at Kroger has really gone downhill, I doubt you could have found someone to complain to. I like Kroger because they have boars head meats . Staff at winco is definitely better.

It has helped at the casino. 😁

Market Street also carries Boar's Head.  People here can't wait for H-E-B in Frisco to open Sept. 21.

For service, I like Central Market.

She had a few really bad days, with constant headaches and being extremely tired after treatment for a few days.   We have been with her, every day, all day through the weekdays to help in any way we can.

 

Maybe now that she knows what to expect, it will help.  It will start again on Monday.  
 

Thanks for asking.

Positive thoughts and prayers a full recovery for your Daughter.   

It is difficult to watch a loved one go thru the process.  I'm sure she is very happy and comforted to have such wonderful parents be there for whatever she needs 💕 stay strong and positive and everyone will get through this.🥰

I like market street but they are not that close , they have a nice wine selection but not cheap.

Where have you been ? That’s a rhetorical question. You’ve been missed . 

There was so much to say I didn’t want to get started. 
Traumatic 90 minutes trying to do our COVID test. 
Trapped in an outdoor elevator on a hot August day in Pompano Beach. 
Great Allure cruise till we got sick. 
Tested positive after we got home. 
Been sick ever since. 
When I feel better I’ll explain. 
Still sick, both of us, but not seriously ill. 
Thanks for letting me know you noticed!

Gosh you are having a rough time of it.  That elevator situation sounds truly awful.  Hope you recover from Covid soon.  I can’t keep up with everyone’s cruises, when did you disembark?

I noticed and so did Dani . I was worried that something was terribly wrong but didn’t want to pry . 
 

We’ll be here awhile . Get well and take care of yourself and your husband.

Mimi I hope you get feeling better soon. I will want to hear everything that happened. If nothing else I guess it's better to get Covid after you get home than on the ship. Get well soon.

[MJSailors]

Mimi- Wishing you and your hubby a quick and full recovery. Hoping you will feel up to posting about your cruise soon. 

Take comfort in that you were missed by the posters on this thread.

Take care

Started day good found our my brain tumor is still the same small size as it was two years ago. Also our favorite football team Buffalo Bills had a great win against the defending super bowl winner .

   But super down my mom is in the hospital for last few days and sick to return to her apartment since she will need around the clock care , she is 96 and had no pain before recent problems, I doubt she will be around much longer , luckily my sister and her family are there . She will be extremely unhappy with nursing home or hospice which she will need .

I forgot to post a pic of one that swam under the boat. 

 

I thought if we stayed here we could of just watched them swim by.

 

 

But the boat guy told us it was a private club.  Then I thought maybe rent a house....

 

 

But they we all private residential houses.

 

These houses are so big the owners would never know there were squatters with them. Go for it!

Oh Mimi. We're glad you're back. Fear of heights and an outdoor elevator are a horrible combination. 😬

Oh George, mixed feelings, so happy your tumor isn't growing but sorry that your dear mum is unwell.   Amazing she has been able to live independently for so long. 

Glad you have family with you 🙏

So feeling a bit weepy this morning  especially after reading all the tributes to Her Majesty in the news from around the world.  We were planning to go up to London this weekend to visit friends and my friend has said she wants to lay flowers at Buckingham Palace, so we will be going there tomorrow. 

 

I feel almost that for our boomer generation that have lost our mums, almost like I'm reliving a second maternal death. She was so much the Mother of our country

I absolutely agree.

We were fortunate to say hello and get a smile back from Her majesty at a Royal Garden Party we were invited to in 2015.
