(hope you understand what I am saying...apparently its a thing) Funny, I was just thinking of that. I was trying to think of something more appropriate to the conversation, but humorously though. We'll see. On May the 21st or 22nd you may have a message in here with a hint. To he honest, I've met with people that I had some serious "discussions" with on a now defunked Motorcycle message board and we turned out to be great long distance friends and have met at social gatherings to share in adult beverage, many times since. Believe me when I say, this tread and a couple of discussions within it aren't anything like the serious "discussions" we had on the defunked message board.

My friends and circle of acquaintances are purposefully diverse and we don't always see eye to eye on the "serious" stuff...but that is how we learn and grow. Hopefully you leave me a duck that isn't found by someone in the cruise between yours and mine. Feel free to leave a note with a few jabs...I have fairly thick skin and can appreciate humor. Do me a favor though, don't lick it or piss on it...I don't respond kindly to germ warfare. See? Not all "confrontations" turn out bad!

Kind of like some people refer to pop as soda....downright cringeworthy...lol Pop and soda are regional dialect differences (like lollipop vs. sucker). There are even some places that refer to ALL soft drinks as "coke" as in: "I'll have a coke." "What kind?" "Pepsi, please." Ships and boats are different by definition.

Va4fam Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I live in the Mid Atlantic so it's soda and Coke here. The "tonic" description in Cape Cod area was very confusing during our summer vacations. Just so there is no debate, that thing you plug into the wall to clean your carpets/floors is called a vacuum, not a sweeper.

fireclan Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I'll take this soda or pop idea a bit further...when we moved to a very rural county on Maryland's eastern shore 30+ years ago, we learned the older (our age) locals call Coke or Pepsi that comes in a can a "machine soda" which they shorten to 'chine soda.

AtlantaNole Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Im just happy to be able to travel again. Usually nothing will be as grand as you think, nor as bad as you think. My wife and i are annoyed by some things, we usually just try and laugh it off, dont let it ruin your day. You are on a cruise, chances are there is some place on the ship you can go and enjoy. If the worst thing that happens to me today is dealing with a screaming kid at breakfast or waiting an extra minute for my drink, ive had a pretty good day.
