Ohhh....Snake...I'm so sorry you feel that way. Believe me, you won't be treated poorly here; people here are very supportive of one another and don't put each other down as I've seen at a few other sites. I understand what you mean about the age thing, but I'm at the opposite end...one of the very oldest...but all of us are welcome and treated the same no matter what our ages. We all realize we can learn a lot from one another no matter our ages--INCLUDING those who are at the younger end of the spectrum.

I will admit that I felt like an outsider at first...for quite awhile at first, but mostly because of the teasing going on between members who knew each other well. I felt like the person on the outside of the fishbowl looking in. Once I got to know people through their posts, though, and posted plenty of my own, I felt very welcome and have had people reach out to me in ways that have truly touched my heart.

Hang in there, Kiddo...give the place a chance; you'll be glad you did.
