What is in Lumberton, NC?

Lumberton is about halfway between home and Kissimmee We discovered a Country inn and a Suite sheer a few years ago that is clean, roomy, right off the highway and serves a free breakfast buffet and if booked in advance we get an extremely economical rate

Vixmom -- turn off your phone! You don't want the boss to call and order you back to work.

I only got 3 calls from the office

ChasSmith · « **Reply #96 on:** September 18, 2015, 03:37:52 PM »

Never mind, you just answered that one!

We passed the road works guys getting ready to shut down the left lane just in time for rush hour and so missed the inevitable miles long traffic back up

Whew!!

Ok the shower is calling me

I just ate some warmed over pizza, but would happily put away a cheeseburger if you set one in front of me.

Sounds good to me!

Lumberton is the perfect halfway location, like vixmom said. It's in NC, just before you enter SC. But I also found on one trip that if you proceed very far into SC before stopping, the motel rates go up...enough that I wished I'd called it a day back in Lumberton.

I settled on Chinese and ordered the wrong tofu dish.

Damn.

Vixmom, did you ever consider staying at "South of the Border"?

(For those who don't know, that's a very deliberately kitschy "tourist trap" attraction that I, for one, find fascinating and entertaining. But I've never done more than stop and look around.)

I swear, I do believe Donald Trump and the bigoted fundamentalist Christian idiots following him are the new Nazi party. I always thought he was a vulgar, crass putz but now he and his thugs are beginning to terrify me.

Welcome to Berlin.

Watching Love and Mercy - some of which is very good. Lots of mumbling, though.

I have no idea how many people will be attending this evening's performance. I know we have fifteen for sure, and I am going to be VERY unhappy if that's what it is. I've had many conversations about how to get people of their complacent ASSES, and I've also suggested many times that Sami's school chums need to come be supportive - her choir, her drama class. And yet.

I've had a busy week and I am POOPED! My anxiety over the upcoming surgery played havoc with my sleep. I am attempting to correct that.

Great reviews, Bruce. You must be pleased.

Good morning, all.

I survived my trip to nine bars over 8 1/2 hours to taste nine barrel-aged bourbon cocktails. It was tough work.

And how was your workday today? ;-)

DR Jeanne, how's the healing coming along?

Holy crap! I have been notified by my HMO that my Medicare premiums are going up $73 next year. At this rate in another two years I will be paying what I paid monthly for health insurance before i turned 65. On a relatively fixed income i cannot afford this and it's disturbing.

Have you looked into a Medicare Advantage program? I pay nothing per month over the $104.90. It includes much of what one would normally obtain from a Medicare supplement plan. Some friends have Secure Horizons and are very happy with it. My plan, SCAN, is a tad cheaper, but only available in California and Arizona.

I had stayed with my HMO because i wanted to keep my doctor, but I may have to reconsider options. I was paying $150/month when I signed up and it's doubled in three years.

The surgery will begin in two weeks. So far it's lots of measuring my eyes in all sorts of ways. Painless. But you know the medical bureaucracy. Lots of "consents," ie, liability forms to sign, lots of instructions, some of which were contradictory. Next week I have to see my regular doctor for a screening exam to approve the surgery. Easy. Just lots of poking and prodding. It's the anticipation of the surgery that disturbs my equilibrium.

The luxury rooms were all booked so we ended up with a truckers room. It was right off 95 like RIGHT off the highway. For some odd reason it had 2 doors both leading to the outside world (Motel not hotel)

vixmom · « **Reply #119 on:** September 18, 2015, 04:45:19 PM »

Every time a tractor trailer sped past (every thirty seconds or so) both doors would rattle like someone was trying to break in
