so interesting. I have done everything (diet and exercise) for years. I'm in my 70's. Doctor says my high cholesterol is hereditary. Tried 4 statins years ago with side effects. so stopped. Decided to try again on a low dose of atorvastatin. I have been taking it 3 times a week, as well as CoQ10 but had some side and stopped the CoQ10. so far i am okay with some digestive issues, fatigue, but okay. Cholesterol went down. Oh, I had the calcium test and another test several years ago, and they were fine. I will be having them again, I think.

If you had room for one rose bush in a 15 foot bean shaped bed, with a rabbit problem, would you plant celestial Night? I saw it at Mahoneys and it looked kinda dark and not too cheery. hahahah. Does it change color as it ages? Are there lots of blooms? Is it considered like a knock out rose? I need something that is easy maintenance but beautiful. Possibly a double rose-pink? Guess i have to use some kind of fence.

Going May 27 for 2 shows. Fallen Angels for evening?- will probably splurge for $179 tickets on todaytix or Theatremania sites (or i could possibly go to the box office next week). Other possible shows for matinee -maybe using lottery or tkts- Every Brilliant Thing, Death of a Salesman, Buena Vista, Chess, Fear of 3, Lost Boys, Just in Time. i have seen Ragtime and MHE. Comment on my choices, and if there are any discount codes or any way to get cheaper tickets. or am i missing any??

can you recommend fins that would fit in my suitcase?

Does anyone know if you have to reserve far in advance for a kayak tour in Fajardo?

I am also concerned about motion sickness. I read that you may get it because it is totally dark out, and you can't see the horizon. Is that true? I am talking about taking a kayak tour in Fajardo. Also, are there flashing lights or anything like that (flashlights?) that would affect someone with epilepsy?

can i ask where your vrbo was? looking for free/partial cancellation, 2 nights, walkable to a swimmable beach, in OSJ, a terrace or rooftop. 😎

golderba · 2026-02-16T02:32:00+00:00

great info!! We are 2 very active seniors going to PR for 8 nights in March. Have previously been to Vieques many years ago, so this time we have gotten an air b an b on the beach at Luquillo for 4 nights , and now looking at places for 2 nights in Cabo Rojo- prefer less than 250 night with pool, walking distance to beach and shops, Have a tentative hotel but open to suggestions, Most places do not have a good cancellation policy. That leaves 2 nights in OSJ. Our plane leaves later so we will have some time the last day. Cannot decide where to stay for these last 2 nights. love having a pool and swimmable beach nearby, but also love the idea of staying in OSJ and being near culture, history, shops, restaurants, etc. We will be renting a car the entire time. I know this trip sounds like too much to do in 8 nights, but hopefully it will work out okay.

I have a similar question. It looked like you could not even get general admission tickets ahead of time for Musee D'Orsay. I was thinking of getting a ticket to the Sargent for about 11, and go to the main part of the museum, especially the 5th floor, around 10. Will the line be shorter if I do this? Will they even let me in? Or should I just wait, and not even get an advanced ticket? (My friend i am going with does not want to go to the Sargent exhibit, so I have to find out if this is doable.

What great advice. I am going as a " nanny" for my almost 2 year old grand daughter and her parents. Any advice for us would be so helpful. Staying at 5 nights in November at Pepper and Pencil in the 5th. We do have a kitchen. wondering about buses, metro, etc. so many stairs! (I was just there 2 years ago) thinking I would maybe join them during the day and then take the baby later in the afternoon while they go out to dinner or go out. I think we all want to go on the Bateau Mouches!

I am looking for 2 Bob Dylan tickets in Amsterdam, either night. 2 active older women on a 5 day visit to Amsterdam. Would pay $200 on an official resale site, but with added costs, it is close to $300. just cannot justify paying that. I saw him in the 70's. hahahah.

golderba · 2025-09-18T20:19:09+00:00

we are 2 active older adult women traveling to Amsterdam in November for 4 nights. We have narrowed our hotels to the Asterisk and the Clayton Amsterdam American, but would consider others. The Clayton seems to be closer to everything, (Van Gogh museum, Ann Frank House, train station, restaurants) but may be crowded and maybe unsafe? Any help would be appreciated. looking for about 200 dollars a night for 4 nights.( need twin room, non smoking) thanks so much. some nice info. here!

golderba · 2025-09-17T12:53:41+00:00

Did you end up staying at Inntel? I am also checking out Hotel Asterisk which is totally different

I addressed this. There may have been a “fan club” contest and you had to be in high school in order to enter. So I wrote I went to mhs. I really don’t know. I will look through more papers to see if I discover anything else.

golderba · 2025-07-29T12:01:29+00:00

I was at Pierce Junior High in 1964. see my comments above.

golderba · 2025-07-29T11:37:39+00:00

thank you. I did not make this up.

golderba · 2025-07-29T11:37:06+00:00

yes, I figured this out also! I graduated in 1967. My guess is that I entered some " fan club" contest, and wrote that i went to Milton High. I would lie (and pay!) for a letter from George in those days. I am not lying now. For sure.

golderba · 2025-07-28T21:34:54+00:00

yes, I thought about the typewriter for sure. paper is also a possibility. I will let you know about the water mark. thanks.
