Another lovely day in Oklahoma. . .

Jevs, I have no idea where these were taken, but I don't think I'd want to be wherever the first pic was taken. The beach looks nice, though.

The happiest cop I've ever met.

I see New Orleans -- the frozen drink, and maybe the church/cemetary???
New York -- the cheese cake
D.C. -- happy cop

The kids look like they have Magic Bands on in a couple of pics. I guess the pic with BB8 is Disney related. The kids are adorable btw.

For the longest time I thought your screen name meant you were "Newfoundlanders!"

I was referring to the DUH! Homer Simpson's mantra. As you have known, it is for Newfoundlanders. My reply was only referring to a few Disers in a recent thread in fun, whom thought it stood for Ned Flanders.

leebee: My reply to your previous reply is in the quote.. I hate when this happens.

Edited: Oh, and enjoy your vacation!

I remember the weather then, and wondering how you were enjoying our Niagara Falls in it!

Prices are pretty ridiculous for every itinerary I've seen that includes Cuba - especially given that they're all priced in USD and exchange is a blood-bath right now. If you really want to see Cuba I'd suggest an AI would be a much better value. (Apologies in advance Aldio'ers ), that will change when and if American citizens get the OK to go there.

I'm curious about all your references to your Baker's Cyst. What kind of symptoms is it causing you? I have one too - a big one in my left knee. Other than an unpleasant tightness, which is made worse in hot weather like we're having now, and a bit of a twinge going down stairs, it's far from debilitating.

I've one behind each knee. The tightness is the lesser of my symptoms. The pain is 24/7 worsened in longer walks, and stairs are well, like the commercial aired here of a woman standing at the top of a set looking down in anguish because she can not navigate them. Trying to go up a set even more trying. I'm looking into laser therapy, and hoping it's not a snake oil hoax. There has been nothing my GP or another Dr. whom I did see as a second opinion can offer. Even draining them, the opinion of both Drs. is they'll just fill again. I've gained weight because of the lessened inactivity... sigh.

Edited: I'm elated to report that on returning from our mini trip, and getting on the scale; I lost 6 lbs of the 17 I'd gained since these cysts entered the fray. Plus, before we left I'd lost 4 over two weeks I pushed myself to limber up before we left.

Sorry. I'd "like" this if it wasn't so grim. Very different from my experience. I've been to an orthopaedic surgeon who would have operated (the whole capsule has to be removed - draining is just a waste of time) but I declined because it really doesn't bug me very much.

Jevs, thank you thank you for sharing those pics!!!! Beautiful children that's for sure!!!!

Like I said earlier.......so glad you're back!!

Not that I don't love all my other ALDIO DISers!!

Right choice. Why go there (surgery risks) unless it's necessary. I've understood different people have different degrees of pain with them. I've edited my previous post as I've lost some weight. My hopes are on this laser treatment but, it's only one area Chiropractor making claim he has a cure... sigh.

Do you have a surgical option? Seems necessary in your case - maybe time to get on the waiting list.
