smitty34877 Posted June 8, 2021 #26 Share Posted June 8, 2021 @cat shepard, my in laws lived in Ft Lauderdale for many years and we would drive down from NY with our children 2 or 3 times a year. We were once there in August. Oh my. I thought NY in August was awful but I had NO idea what heat/humidity could be like. I went to the store of groceries for DMIL and was standing in line when a very nice woman asked if I was ok. I had been in the store 20 minutes or so and was still sweating profusely,glasses steaming,etc. My strong accent probably gave me away when I replied that I was just HOT and she laughed. She told me it takes some getting used to Florida summers! Terry 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted June 8, 2021 #27 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Good morning everyone. I will certainly celebrate best friends. I have three long time very best friends . Sam’s condition is improving. He can now move all four arms and lift both legs and the nurse in charge doesn’t notice any slurring in his speech. What’s so frustrating is not a single MD has called me. Not the surgeon, the resident surgeon who I gave permission for the surgery to, or the neurologist in charge. His nurse today said she will have them call me after rounds. It’s frustrating and scary not knowing what is actually happening and what his recovery prognosis is. They have ordered PT and OT at his bedside. Not sure about speech therapy. I will probably be able to get vaccinated this weekend. Carol 32 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted June 8, 2021 #29 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi first time poster on HAL. My TA sent me some information and deals on the new Pinnacle class ship Rotterdam for the Carribbean in April 2023. We have 5 cruises booked on P&O/ RCG for 2021/ 2022 but nothing yet for 2023 so I hope you don't mind me chipping in as family have sailed a few times on HAL so I'm interested in what is being said and this thread seems to be interesting. It is 72°F in our back garden in England and I'm sunbathing and looking at cruise deals. Regards Graham. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageGeo Posted June 8, 2021 #37 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Good morning. As always, thanks for the Daily! A request for prayers for our neighbor's girlfriend, please. We learned last night that she was crossing the street Sat. evening and was hit by a young man driving at a high rate of speed, who then fled. Her name is Lynny Poell. She is 26 and last we heard she is in critical care and non-responsive. Her family believes in the power of prayer, and we know that it moves through this thread regularly. Stay safe and healthy. Hope everyone has a great day. Lori & George 13 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted June 8, 2021 #38 Share Posted June 8, 2021 2 hours ago, summer slope said: Good morning. How appropriate it's Best Friends Day as my bestie from Ohio is visiting for the month. My poison would be a Bahama Mama at the Lido Pool, on the Ocean. Bought face masks from 4Oceans who uses the money to clean up the Oceans. Loved Henny Youngman's sense of humor. The meal sounds good but will skip the Arugula. Have not been to today's port, looking forward to the photo's. Major prayers and virtual hugs to our care list. Toasts to the celebration list. Stay safe, social distance, and please continue to wear your mask. Negroni: The Negroni is a popular Italian cocktail, made of one part gin, one part vermouth rosso, and one part Campari, garnished with orange peel. It is considered an apéritif. A traditionally made Negroni is stirred, not shaken, and built over ice in an old-fashioned or rocks glass and garnished with a slice of orange. Wikipedia Ingredients: 1 oz (1 part) Campari, 1 oz (1 part) Gin, 1 oz (1 part) Sweet red Vermouth Preparation: Stir into glass over ice, garnish and serve. Served: On the rocks Standard garnish: Orange peel Drinkware: Old Fashioned glass Sounds like it is worth a try. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzn single Posted June 8, 2021 #40 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I haven’t made it here to post for several days. I do read everything each and every day. Many prayers go for all of those on the care list. It is amazing how supportive this “family” has become! My best friend is a long time friend of over 64 years. We met as sophomores in high school! We have shared lots over those many years. I even introduced her husband to her. Today is an appointment with Edward Jones advisor. I have 4 cruises booked and need to figure out the finances of such. I have the money, just need to determine how to handle. Another hot, dry, windy day. Our drought is now considered extreme to exceptional. We need rain so desperately. The Colorado River flow affects not only our state but much larger states downstream. Woodbridge Pinot Grigio is my daily “go-to” wine. But I have been known to drink the Cabernet. I do prefer the Robert Mondavi wines in Cabernet—same family of wine, though. Have a great day everyone.😁🙏🏻🎉🌈 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a heart attack in December 2019 and had 1 stent fitted then got covid19 in November 2020 and thankfully have had 2 Pfizer vaccine jabs now and looking forward to cruising again soon.

Overhead Fred Posted June 8, 2021 #49 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The Negroni is a great cocktail! I like to use 2 parts of gin in mine.... We are still in the midst of a streak of 90F plus weather so I will be taking @kazu's advice and pace myself with the garden work. Maybe I should go canoeing instead. There have been lots of Damselflies in the gardens lately. I got a shot of this guy this morning - If Google is reliable, it is a Rambur's Forktail - lime green head and bright blue tail. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As life got in the way and we were separated by a thousand miles, we always kept in touch at birthdays and Christmas. I had not seen her for 22 years when she came to my surprise birthday party! After that we and our DHs took cruises together (one of them a most wonderful 20 day Med cruise on the Noordam). We chat at least once a week and try to get together once a year.....wish we lived closer! Thanks everyone for the daily! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
