Hi Everyone&#33;<br /><br />Thanks to all for the nice comments on Marc.<br /><br />It&#39;s 33 degrees with a sprinkle of snow on the ground.  At least it&#39;s now April...it should warm up soon...I hope&#33;  LOL  Not much going on for me today, just catching up on a few things around the house, and later will make a Calico Bean dish to freeze in our Food Saver vacuum system.  It really keeps the food fresh as new.  I&#39;m trying to make a few things ahead of time for Easter...then it won&#39;t be so hard on my back, and I won&#39;t have so many things to make at once.<br /><br />Jackie...glad you&#39;re feeling a bit better.  It is a tough decison on therapy and the shot.  Sometimes the sciatica and back troubles just &quot;go away&quot; for awhile but sometimes you just have a better day and then it&#39;s back as bad, so it&#39;s hard to decide on what to do.  I am planning on another epidural spinal shot before our cruise in July, but if I get better and stay that way before then then I will call it off.  Good luck to you...hope you don&#39;t need one.  I know one time I had sciatica for around a year (it was liveable) and then it just quit on it&#39;s own and didn&#39;t come back for a long time.  Hugs&#33;  Marc had it so bad one time he was crawling on his knees and wanted surgery, but I talked him out of the surgery and within about two months it was gone and hasn&#39;t come back for him.<br /><br />Rose...so glad your dad is better&#33;  Hugs&#33;<br /><br />Martha...hope your FIL will be better soon..sending a hug&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...GW..what a fun day for Scotty, and grandma&#33;  I may have the girls on Friday and then our little grandson on Saturday.  <br /><br />Mary Lou...our 25th anniversary is on April 14th right after Easter so we are going to do some big celebrating that week with dinner on Tuesday with friends and then going to the casino on Friday eve. to see the Temptations and the Four tops (free tickets)  It&#39;ll be nice to get out of the house, for sure...lots to celebrate.  Hope Ash and TJ are feeling better, soon&#33;<br /><br />James...so glad you can now feel safer with your step-son gone and concentrate on Donna&#39;s getting well.<br /><br />Joey...I only smoked from the age of 16 to around 22.  So haven&#39;t smoked in 39 years.  I only smoked a little back then, anyway.<br /><br />Falina...hope your sore mouth feel better soon..<br /><br />Sue...I just rented Marley and Me from Netflix.  We will watch it this weekend.  Hope your allergies get better&#33;<br /><br />Well...I had better get busy on a few chores...<br /><br />Hi to ALL of our Cruise Crazies&#33;<br /><br />Have a great day, EVERYONE&#33;<br /><br />
