    Hello , ye God's I feel ancient .The bravery and honesty of the young people here makes me feel ashamed. Well if you look to your left you'll see I'm 47 yrs old and if you read my profile your see that I'm not much to write home about. But I've got to try and get some sanity in my life,on other forums I don't seem to be able contribute to ,but on one I found a link to this place so I hope you'll be kind. I feel a bit of a pervert to be amongst so many young people who have managed to find their way in life ,and I'm still trying .
    Please feel free to reply or contact me , as any contact is better than none.
    The name Tallship is because the only time I felt at ease was on a tallship in a force 9 on the North Sea. Unfortunately being diagnosed medically depressed means I can't get the insurance to sail on tallships anymore anyway Take care regards TS :smilewave

    Hi there and welcome to EC from Jim in Toronto!

    Yes - there are some of us here that figured ourselves out later in life, and also found this site to be extremely helpful. Stick around and make yourself at home.

    Okay,we're the same age! I have been on here for a while and don't let people's age scare you. I,myself, have been out since I was 16. I was just lucky to have been the loudmouth,that I am!
    Anyway,there are many younger people here that are very smart & mature. I sometimes read a post and then look at their age and I'm surprised that they're so young. Don't let age stop you.
    I'm glad you found this site. It's a wonderful place with really great people.
    Stick around,you'll see what I mean. Oh,and welcome to EC!
