Prayers for your friend’s family. Hard for you and your family too.

Picture of woman with dozens of pigeons all over her 

 

Not a fan of pigeons (a visit to Trafalgar Square as a child scarred me for life) but lovely photo of you & your wife.

Little Pooh Bear is leaving for her forever home on Sunday.  Winnie and Robin (Tigger) are leaving for their homes Thursday.  I will miss them but they are a handful right now.

@dani negreanu Dani, all of Israel and those following the hostage news, have taken the Bibas family close to their hearts, especially those two beautiful boys.  I'm happy you had a few days to get out and live life the way it was before October 7 and the way it should always be.

 

@Tree_skier For pure laughs, is it possible to add Chevy Chase's National Lampoon Christmas Vacation to your Christmas movie list?

 

My computer is acting wonky.  I quoted 2 posts, typed responses and they went "poof".  They might  show up after swirling through cyber space.  Stranger things have happened.

Those are my ankles at times!  Compression socks, drinking water, raising my feet higher than my heart and trying to move around to get circulation going helps me.  Of course, staying away from sodium laden foods would benefit but I love those foods and unfortunately, there seems to be sodium in most foods acting as a flavor enhancement and preservative.

 

On another note, I'm glad your knee recuperation is doing better than the first.  I hope your other medical issue gets resolved.

 

How is Linda and has she scheduled surgery?

Linda has not scheduled surgery yet.

Absolutely add it.  My list isn't exclusive and only reflect my Christmas traditions 🙂 I don't think I've ever watched it... I'll check it out tonight.  ✅

@dani negreanu  Dani, I’m sorry you have to be living the nightmare you are in. Thinking of you. Prayers for those young children.  
 

@Ozark_Kid Prayers for you and your friends family. 
 

@A&L_Ont Yep, needed a tissue. Great stories.  P.S. Your home and decorations are beautiful.

 

@sgmn  Happy to hear your grandson is better.

We have National lampoon Christmas vacation on dvd and always watch it , Christmas story is a close second , Ralphie and his BB gun and the staff singing Christmas songs at the Chinese restaurant. Sounds like staff of any cruise ship singing happy birthday.

John, @Ozark_Kid, I’m so sorry 😞. I will certainly pray for your friend’s family and I will continue to pray for you, too. One of my uncles also had ALS. It certainly is a hard journey!! 
I hope that you will keep thinking about what you also posted:
“ I take OB's advice and avoid most other's ALS experience.  I am currently on 3 different meds right now and can only assume they are making a difference…

… I am taking it one cruise at a time.  Lord willing and the sea don't rise we will be on Icon next.   

Take care,

Sue ((❤️)) + 🙏

I’m sure they will be wonderful places, but not as good as your place. ❤️

I must have seen Christmas Vacation at least 20 times and every time I see it, I laugh at Cousin Eddy's antics. Never gets old. 

 

Continue to enjoy your cruise!

Dallas has a excellent local theater that does play Christmas Carol every year and we always go, a few years ago they won the Tony award for best regional theater.

Those kitties have surely grown!  Their expressions suggest the mischief they might create.

Many years ago, we had a wonderful Repertoire Theater in Plano.  We saw Fantastics and Camelot, sitting up close.  Both wonderful, but in my eyes, nobody sang "If Ever I Would Leave You" like Robert Goulet.

Good afternoon.

We woke at 5.30am and there was a massive burst pipe in our close.

The water board are still here at 15.45pm and dug a big hole and put a new pipe in.

I hope everyone is safe and well and have a better day than us.

 

I do hope that your pipe has been fixed, since I'm reading your post 7 hours later, Graham.

Am I the only one that didn't know what a "close" meant? My first thought was closet, with the t missing, which would have been even worse. ☺️

Beautiful & love their names.  Did you make the beautiful circular rug under your Christmas tree?

Need a little help from those with Youtube Tv, we signed up for a free 21 day trial,. then $50.99 the first 3 months after the trial and then $72.99 a month.

 

When we put on either a taped show or a live show and then go to the  Library, Home or Live page while watching the show. Then going back to the show, that library, Home, Live screen over lays the show we are watching.

 

So my question is how do we lose that screen and go back to the show we are watching with out it backing out of everything and losing what we were watching?
