    Hello. At 40 I'm thinking I'm probably a little older than the average age here?

    I have been lurking here occasionally, reading posts for a couple years now. Today I joined.

    Some people don't like to be put in a box and labeled. I understand that, I'm not sure I'm so different. But sometimes it's comforting to identify with others too. Sometimes I feel very alone that way. Maybe this place can help change that a little.

    Who knows.. maybe I could even be that change for someone else while I'm at it!

    Welcome, you are among friends here.

    40 is not old, I'm 60 and consider myself young ( or possibly immature :grin: )

    Enjoy looking around the site - it's a fun place.

    Welcome to the community MuffinKicker!

    I think one of the great things about this group is the diversity – it’s really cool to be able to pull on perspectives from people who are in different life stages.
