Well I went to the ear specialist today - had a 10:30 appt. and didn&#39;t get out of there &#39;til 1:00. Most of that time was spent in the waiting room - I hate that&#33;&#33;&#33; Anyway, I don&#39;t have Meniere&#39;s disease but what they call Benign Positional Vertigo. It&#39;s something about little &#39;crystals&#39; that have broken off in the middle ear....I don&#39;t know  (...yawn). Anyway they did this procedure and a hearing test and I have to wear this cervical collar for 2 weeks so I don&#39;t make any sudden movements with my head.....and...I have to sleep sitting up for the next 2 nights.<br /><br />Mary Lou - I think your &quot;neck of the woods&quot; gets the reward for the worst weather in the country. And I&#39;m sure you&#39;d rather do without that distinction <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />Jenn - You <i>do</i> have a way with words  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <br /><br />Rose - I do remember that FL doesn&#39;t stay cold long. We went to DW once in Feb. and it would be in the low 50&#39;s in the morning then in the 70&#39;s in the afternoon - very nice&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl - I can&#39;t stand it when people are so inconsiderate with their dogs. In our old house we had a major problem with a barking dog and kept calling the cops on them. A couple times, though, we got the reponse, &quot;well....dogs bark&quot;.<br /><br />No s### yet but we&#39;ve gotten sleet and rain and temps in the 30&#39;s - that&#39;s bad enough&#33;<br /><br />Joey - glad to see that you&#39;re back to your old self <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />.  Finally our dear Detroit ex-mayor is now where he belongs. I think he still thinks he didn&#39;t do anything wrong.....<br /><br />Have a good evening all&#33; I&#39;ll be around for a little while.
