This thread has come at just the right time. I tore my left meniscus and PCL a year and a half ago. Had surgery to repair those and they cleaned out the arthritis as well. I've had steroid shots for the last year and a half. Now I'm looking at replacement. Thanks for all the information.

I got 27. I was born and raised in Northern California but moved to the "south" at age 21. All of my adult life has been spent eating all these things. There is definitely SWEET tea in the south. Iced tea is sweet unless you order unsweet tea (which I drink).

I also buy the 120 count Kirkland Signature Pacific Bold Coffee but wait until it is on sale ( force of habit). I'm not an extravagant shopper so this is my little vice.

Florida has medical marijuana

I've found laundromats in different countries fun. My favorite was in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland. It was a laundromat with coin computers for internet. Wash your clothes and surf the net :)

I moved to a larger place on 4 acres in anticipation of having the kids (2) and grandkids (4) around quite a bit. That lasted until the grandkids started reaching their teen years and would rather be with their "friends". I'm now moving to a much smaller place with a community pool, tennis...

I gave up on Microsoft 2 years and bought a MacBook Pro. After having iPhones for years the transition wasn't too bad. I'll stick with Apple.

Barnfellow, thanks for posting those pictures of Switzerland. It brought back some wonderful memories of a beautiful country......

I have a circular piece of thin rubber matting (advertising a local store) that works every time. Just put it on top of the jar and twist. I've had it for years and never found a jar it wouldn't open!

I fold and roll my clothes also, and then put them in gallon ziplock bags. The ziplock bags can be used for anything including dirty clothes.

I am in Florida and have the Supplement Plan F which does not include meds. Plan F covers co-pays etc and since having it I've received no other bills. For Part D I have Silver Script which was one of the least expensive monthly payments and had decent med coverage. I previously had Part D with...

I have that with Vanguard, of course, I don't call them very often.

My cat is 14 1/2 years old and was diagnosed with diabetes 5 years ago. At first I gave her one shot of insulin a day but after she stabilized my vet had me try a dry diabetic cat food. Prescription Diet Glucose/Weight Management, m/d. This has worked well for her. She has some arthritis now and...

I also always keep a Ran McNally Road Atlas in the car for a road trip. I usually bring a couple of rolls of quarters for the laundromat. My son and I were heading back to North Florida from North Dakota at the end of a summer (years ago) and stumbled on Car Henge in Nebraska. I love the path...

I had one once. Extreme headache, light flashes, the slightest noise hurt my head. I had to stay in a dark room until the doctor had me come to the hospital. After tests it was concluded that is was caused by a bursted blood vessel. My friend has migraines which are brought on by chocolate.

I use RadarScope, Storm apps on my phone and weather.gov on my laptop.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! In north Florida it was 81* today with a little rain and blowing leaves ~~~

I have upgraded my MacBook Pro and iPhone 7 Plus with no problems. Haven't noticed anything different

Tree-dweller I'd be interested in the name of the tour company and how you like the tour of Iceland. Iceland is on my bucket list.

Finally had power restored after 72 hours and losing everything in my freezer and fridge. I was planning on giving my daughter the freezer next year but will do it now. A neighbor cut up a tree (chainsaw) blocking our road and also some big limbs that had come down on my property. Lots of yard...

The Governor of Florida just called a state of emergency ahead of Irma

Here's an interesting map that you can adjust to what you need https://maps.floridadisaster.org/gator/map.html

I think everyone who lives in a state on the gulf coast gets nervous, especially after Hurricane Harvey, when a potential hurricane might enter the gulf. I'm a little east of Tallahassee and we had Hermine last year which woke up quite a few people. Of course nothing like New Orleans or Houston...

Don't miss Crazy Horse! I enjoyed that more than Rushmore.

Prepaid cremation and disposal. DH passed away 3 years ago and the process was so easy for all.
