Vincent Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 So my wife was talking with our neighbor yesterday, catching up on local gossip and letting her know that we would be heading out of town in January for another RC cruise (she is our unofficial neighborhood Mrs. Kravitz). My wife thought it best to give "Gladys" a heads up so that she didn't lose any sleep worrying or wondering if something terrible had happened to us, noticing the loss of daily routines that myself and family normally endure and display each day. Knowing in advance the quick witted and somber responses that our neighborhood Karen is accustom to, her response really should not have surprised my wife. But she called us out like a closet Swiftie, stating "Well, aren't you a bunch of thalassophiles". It's true, I am one. It's been over 3 months since my last cruise and ocean sighting. But I have a wonderful support group and attend meetings via forums and discussions as often as I can. So thank you fellow board members. It's one cruise at a time .

PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Ok @Bazza I totally had to look up that word! And once I did it occurred to me that I actually know a few people who fit perfectly into that category! Unfortunately, I’m not one of them…lol Bazza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
