Title: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: bk on October 16, 2022, 11:39:45 PM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were back in the saddle again, and now it is time for you to post until the back in the saddle again cows come home.

Title: Re: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: TCB on October 16, 2022, 11:45:55 PM: DR Jane, on Friday I called the doctor’s office and asked if I could speak to my doctor’s nurse, or leave a message to have her call me. She asked what this was about, so I told her. She asked to put me on hold for a minute, and when she came back on she told me she had written out all I told her in a note, and she was going t9 take this in and give it directly to the doctor.

I think BK scheduled his new notes to post, but they haven't...only the new day has opened up.

Post by: John G. on October 17, 2022, 12:19:18 AM: Went down to the water last night to look at the stars away from the light. It was partly cloudy, but it was dark and open enough to see Pegasus, Aquarius and Andromache as well as a faint Saturn up there. Having my constellation app certainly helped. Still, it was lovely.

Post by: elmore3003 on October 17, 2022, 04:07:42 AM: Last night we watched two acts of the 2014 Metropolitan Opera's dreadful production of The Merry Widow, one of my favorite operettas. The direction was dreadful,v the costumes by William Ivey Long were surprisingly unattractive, and the two leads seemed over the hill. I liked Kelli O'Hara, but I thought she was not directed well. There were too many musical changes to suit me, with new dance arrangements for the director to show off her choreographic talents. Ms Fleming wasn't bad in the spoken dialogue, but I think I caught maybe one woird out of five in her sng lyrics.

I agree, though I didn’t care for O’Hara much either. It was like a cake that didn’t rise.

I would have been more than startled, DR Jane.

LOL, I probably was.

She has lived here longer than we have, and she uses the elevator more than we do ;D

Fancy a Viking river cruise along the Miississippi from Saint Paul to New Orleans?

https://www.vikingrivercruises.com/cruise-destinations/mississippi/americas-great-river/2022-st-paul-new-orleans/index.html#noscroll

The 15-day trip costs only $13,000 if you get the cheapest berth. Oh, and they're sold out through 2024.

Title: Re: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: Ron Pulliam on October 17, 2022, 08:25:59 PM: Wow! Fifteen thousand dollars for a Mississippi cruise of 15 days seems a bit excessive. That's $1,000 a day. I am certain I could drive all the way up the Mississipi to the boat's stops and find a nice motel and still not spend that much money each day.

I would much rather take my chances with a Danube or Rhine cruise, thanks.

I rarely use the elevator in our building. Today, after a trip to Costco, was one of those rare occasions. We have nice wheelbarrows for carting bulky items up and down.

Why did I think you were on the first floor?

The 15-day trip costs only $13,000 if you get the cheapest berth. Oh, and they're sold out through 2024.

That is like the paddle wheel cruise on the the Columbia and Snake Rivers. I thought that would be fun. The lowest price cabin for a seven-night cruise starts at $5,999.00 per person.

WTF??
