I want to add my voice to the chorus celebrating the weekend in Palm Springs.  This was only my 3rd time.   But getting to know more of my fellow hobbyists each time makes each time even better.   Oliver, thank you for all that you do to make the weekend a success.  It can't be done without you.  David, thanks for the pool party on Friday -- more food and fun.  Also, thanks to all the elves that help Oliver.  I'm looking forward to 2024.

Beautiful 💗Looks like a young Regé-Jean Page. Also a very talented actor besides being major eye-candy.

Thanks to all who advised me to slow down and be cautious!
I ended up hiring him for a trial evening, and it was clear within an hour that we were not a good long-term fit. Hot guy, spectacular body, but it was 85% about him and 15% me. 
 
He must have known it too, as I haven’t heard from him since the session a couple days ago. 

I disagree there were hard parts almost everywhere

I too miss the politics forum but I suspect our volunteer moderators have to spend a lot of time on it
I appreciate thier service but I suspect its unreasonable they end up spending hours on it 
thus I defer to judgment of those in charge

I love that Kendal has a driver for his motorcycle or motorbike
 

Dear all who attended this year - you make it what it is!  And each year is different.
Thank you to Ace, Dane Scott, David-sf, Jawjateck, jthoutex, Mike Cruise, Nate Newman, sam.fitzpatrick, sfwestcoaster, and anyone whom I've forgotten.  I could not have done it (especially this year) without all of you.  I am eternally grateful for knowing you all.
And I have a written promissory note as follows:  "I, 'Vin Marco' hereby commit to attending (the) pool party 2024 without excuse and agree to this without cercion and without reservation.  Attested to this 15 day of April, 2023 (signed) 'Vin Marco'.
I guess that means I have to come back to PS next year so that he can honor is promise!😝

If you or someone you know is at risk of suicide, please call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline).  The hotline offers 24/7 call, text and chat access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing suicidal, substance use, and/or mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.

And, because discussing such arrangements over Twitter may violate some terms of service or something, perhaps include your number when you first hit him up, so he doesn't risk losing his account with 70,000 followers.

I had a great time as usual.  Oliver and David and the other people who worked on this did a great job.  Inndulge was a fun place although next year guys lets get just a bit crazier.  I have to say Tristan Baldwin's aqua speedo was the fashion highlight for me.  The food at Trio was especially good.  My favorite was the bacon wrapped dates and the pork chop in blueberries.  Free lowing wine was a pleasant surprise too.   Dane Scott must have a portrait in the attic as he seems younger each year.  It seems AzDr's hikes had a great turn out though It was hard to say from where I was lounging by the pool.  
For those who missed it this year, plan to keep your April schedule light and "had to work a lot " should never replace "had to live a little"

Many thanks to everyone for making this event so enjoyable and memorable from the early-bird pool party to the dinners and breakfasts. I'm glad the majority of us stayed in the InnDulge this year for it was pleasant to talk and hang around the pool and relax outside the scheduled meals.
Here's hoping I can remember everyone's names again next year, although some definitely stayed in my mind thanks to all the great people and company during this past weekend.
*hugs everyone*

So glad I made it this year.  I had a wonderful time at the pool party!
