Disqualified. DQ'd. I didn't text her...that is in her profile. For me she is this:

For all those decrying the utilization of the racing term DQ'd.

1. You're on a BMW site. A sporting car site with a deep racing heritage.
2. Disqualified is a Foundational Racing Term.
3. It is not unreasonable to think that since items 1 and 2 are present, anyone partaking on this board would know what DQ'd means.
4. If you don't know, ask and don't make assumptions of racism.
5. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...it was funny as heck. Please remove all sticks and other implements from anyone's butts who are taking this too seriously. I even put the

emoji there. As far as I know, it's NEVER used seriously...at least not by me

On a BMW site and doesn't know what DQ'd means. SMFH

Good thing he didn't use 86 in that post.....

DSQ is the more modern equivalent.

86'd...now you're just stirring the pot!! Well done, sir!!

Thank-you, milady!!

As I think about this, I'm so glad I didn't say, "I got Black Flagged", I'd be facing a Forever Ban!!

Temper flaring? I'm laughing my azz off. I just write directly. It eliminates any confusion. The emoji's are to soften the language and convey meaning, in my opinion.

And it's a racing abbreviation...not an acronym. A very common racing abbreviation.

86 is a term frequently used in the restaurant business, to remove an item from the menu (or sometimes to cancel a customer's order). I'm pretty sure that I heard Gordon Ramsey use it, so I suspect that it is also used on the other side of the pond.

It seems appropriate to close this post with a 73, which is *not* a 69 and I owe you 4.....

Nope, not me. I'm done with men. I left my husband after being married 16 years. Divorce was final 4 years later. I was single for 8 years and just ended a 9 year relationship. I'm done.

EDIT - And before some smart ass chimes in - No I'm not switching teams, I only hit from one side of the plate.

No one messes with our lady. Her boys, me included, are aaaalllllllwaaaaaaysssssss watching.

Quite a few people have been the internet equivalent of, "gang tackled", for that unforgivable sin.

I know that. I should have put a

next to the smart ass statement. I'm thinking King Rudi would be the smart ass to suggest such a thing.

Thank you

Unless you do switch teams, I have to say I doubt that. I could be wrong, but my prediction is that within 15 years, you will have entered into at least one more relationship / or at least gone on dates. We're all suckers for punishment to some degree or another. And I suspect you are going to wind up finding someone who is nice and worth you pursuing a relationship with.

Thanks. Now get of my lawn. In 15 years I'll be over 70

I need to get back in that comfortable place and get past the hurt. If something shows up in a few years, so be it. But I'm not looking for it.

Any chance you're switching teams?
I have a lot of single female friends in NY/Staten Italy but no single guy friends

(BTW, I'm smart ass)

This is the internet so we have the power to broadcast whatever we want, as well as censor whatever we want.

With friends like yours, who needs enemies?

I hope they recover well, and your relationships with them balance out.

Peace.

Because it's the internet. If I block and move on, he's none the wiser as to what he's done wrong, and where is the fun in that? It's better to back up, appear 10 feet tall and invite him into a war of keyboards where the only injuries will be broken fingernails. Plus - Kiwis are known for calling a spade a spade. We don't pull punches.

As for my friends - I am becoming more and more of a recluse while here in the US. I will bide my time until I can return to NZ where my real friends are.

Ever heard of someone in an abusive relationship, and when you tell them to leave they don't? "Oh - I wouldn't stay - I'd be gone..." you retort.

What that tends to indicate is that there's way more to it than you can possibly understand. "Oh - if my boyfriend hit me I'd leave him in and instant" and yet many don't. Why? Because it's not as black and white and disconnected as it is for you on the outside.

Did you know I'm friends with their parents? Both sides - mom and dad and their new marital partners. And their sisters. I've met their aunts. Grandparents. I have had them stay in my house.

But hey - it's all good. We know if a friend wasn't 100% polite to you you'd cut them off and never speak to them again in an instant, and it would be clean and precise and ninjas would respect you forever for your precision. Because you're perfect.

EDIT: Did you delete your post or did it get removed?
