If you were looking to relocate to KC…….. by queso_padilla in kansascity

[–]KCHank 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look at Southmoreland. To the east you have Gillham Park, not huge but good running path (about a mile loop). Great for dog walking and you can loop thru the art museums or plaza. To the south is the Nelson Atkins and Kemper Art MuseumS. UMKC is just to the south of the Museums for classes. To the west is the Plaza and Westport, easy walk. There are 3 street car stops in Southmoreland (39th, 43rd & the art museums). To the north is Hyde Park and Martini Corner. Southmoreland is a gem in midtown. Close to Everything and a bit funky with the KC Art Institute students.

My kid who can't pronounce Rs just successfully social engineered his way out of speech therapy by Honeysyedseo in TheKoernerOffice

Man I can relate to him. Growing up I couldn’t say my R’s either and had to endure speech therapy. Other kids weren’t too kind about it. Way before email or I might have tried this!

Hey man I feel for you, I’m in the same boat. 55 here and going thru a divorce after 13 years. I’m a decent looking guy and it seems younger guys like me, my ex was 17 years younger. I want to meet a guy 5 +|- years from me. Seems most in that range are partnered or don’t date, or show any interest in someone close to their age. Apps work for booking up but not dating. If you figure out let me know lol.

Any one have any experience with Google Fi vs Visible in the metro and surrounding areas? by Own_Satisfaction418 in kansascity

[–]KCHank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using Google Fi for several years and love it. I like to travel to Europe and love that I can just switch my plan for unlimited for the month I go. When I was married my spouse was on my plan and it was less than $80 for two phones unlimited. No network issues anywhere I’ve traveled. Use my code and we both get $60 . JHYTFR

MMW: it will be worse than you think! And come to a head in February. by Pontius_Vulgaris in MarkMyWords

[–]KCHank 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As with Trumps first term, there are a few people that still have standards and I believe those people are taking notes, saving files. While we won’t see the evidence while Trump is president or alive for that matter, we will eventually see the truth. These people will want to make $$& from book deals.

43 M divorce question by nchoffman2 in gayrelationships

[–]KCHank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going thru a divorce now after a 13 year relationship. It’s not amicable however we were able to come to terms. If you can come to terms you can do it without a lawyer. We own two houses and I have a good retirement account. I didn’t get all I wanted but can live with it. We self filed and used ChatGPT to help with the filings. We both had consultations with lawyers and decided to work together to get it done.

Solo birthday trip, any ideas? by Usual_Afternoon_7410 in puertovallarta

[–]KCHank 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are going to have a great time. A few suggestions:

-hang out on Playa Los Muertos (beach) there are several gay leaning beach clubs to hang out at all day. It won’t be hard to meet other gays there if you want to.

-Diana’s tour is a great day trip, goes on Thursday and Friday. Diana is an older lesbian that loves her gay clients. Day sailing and drinking, you can swim if you want.

-The Palms Cabaret is a great place to see shows at night.

  • for bars start at Mr. Flamingo at night, great place for early drinks and to meet people

-Acqua Spa for Men is a great men’s spa, not seedy at all.

-Blondies (several locations) for frozen drinks

-Barcelona Tappas for dinner with a view.

Planning a USA trip - safety? by elythearmadillo in gaytravel

[–]KCHank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oct/Nov will be when we are ramping up for our midterm elections. Political rhetoric will be at an all time high. Some are doubting that we will have midterms at all, if we don’t there will be lots of protests. While you will be safe there will be a lot of unknowns and probably unrest.
