See, I was still in the gender reassignment discovery camp, and I'm not saying I've abandoned that theory yet either, but you do bring up a plausible alternative.

Either way, I think we're both of the same mind that when something is too good to be true....

Though I honestly wish MK luck and hope he found someone truly special, I'm just jaded from reading everyone's dating experiences and feel like the dating pool must really be terrible.

And I as well, hope him all the best.

Can't really comment on the dating pool.... I found my unicorn a while back, so they are out there.

Good sir, this is the 1st question I asked once we went through familial backgrounds to make certain we aren't cousins. Yes. I'm serious.

She is a proud supporter of Sir Lewis Hamilton. Can't wait for Austin. She's never been to an F1 race. Paddock Club all the way!!

Thomas, is that you?
She is actually what I prayed for and had to filter past a few bogeys and pretenders to get to her.

It's to the point that we are making familial introductions when she arrives on May 1st. I've only introduced 3 people to my family in my entire life. My ex-wife. My first college sweetheart and someone I dated for about 13 or so months in 2017/2018. That's 3 people in about 38 years. That should provide you with a glimpse of how special she is to me.

Thanks for the kind wishes.

Just a thought - I know Paddock Club is good (I think that's where I was last time or maybe that was Indycar? Can't remember) but Turn 12 high up probably offers the best view of the real live action if that's what you want. Paddock club gives you the best drinks in air conditioned comfort and the best view of the single file front straight.

Thanks for the info!

I love PC and prefer to watch it there since my brother has a right side deficit and the stands can be rather difficult for him.

I think the best place I've ever watched any race was the Mercedes Grandstand at Hockenheimring. You can see the entire straight to the far right, watch the cars approach through the multi-turn complex, brake hard for a semi-hairpin, then accelerate away for a right-hander. Absolutely epic.

Will you be attending this year?

I don't think I will be going. Tend to prefer the view from my pool or hot tub where I have access to unlimited drinks and private toilet facilities

Sounds like that's an invitation to MK. Could be reading that wrong, but *sounds* like an invitation.

I think he would rather be with someone else

Oh so you were inviting him, but not his significant other?

See I thought you were inviting both to join you at your palatial spread to view the race while they dip their toes in the sparkling cool blue water, being served canapes and adult beverages by waitresses in formal wear and enjoying unfettered access to private washroom facilities...but no, no, I was mistaken, it was just MK you were inviting. Not his significant other.

I'm about to abandon this notion I have of southern hospitality. I've heard of it, but old Dinonz here keeps disabusing me of the notion that it actually exists. Maybe it is because he is a transplant, I dunno.

I'm kidding you Dino.

I'm from way too far South - I'm a hermit and an introvert - I don't like people

I don't drink alcohol. I won't date women who have to get drunk all of the time, but I don't mind if someone has a drink or two. If they pressure me AT ALL, bye.

That's right, and I applaud your newfound sensitivity. Now I'm off to pick a new emotional support animal.

Emotional support is critical!! There are various ways it can be achieved and, if you wish, I can make a few...suggestions for you in the emotional support animal realm. Depends on your mood swings, er, mood. Mood. That's what I meant.
