Welcome aboard, eBev.

While it looks like our points of view are pretty much in alignment, honestly, what caught my eye was your statement "I'm an old lady..." Now, granted, you didn't state your actual chronological age, but I've found that many people have an...interesting...perspective on what constitutes "old" these days, particularly on the Internet.

In fact, I was all ready to comment my usual "Geez, if you think you're old, then you're gonna think that I'm positively ANCIENT!"

I'm in my fifties, by the way.

When I've mentioned that in various places on the Internet, the typical responses I get are:

"No way!"

"You're a liar!"

"People that old don't get on here."

"Admit it, you're really sixteen!"

"People that old don't know how to use the Internet."

"Hello, Grandpa! Do your grandkids know you're using their computer?"

And so on.

Thank you for the welcome!

HA! You're just a kid! I'm 64!!! WHOOOWHOOO! I think this means that I'm WINNING! And others have to respect me. Well, maybe not the respect part; but I AM winning! :D

You're not a WHOLE generation behind me, so you get to be winning, too! ;)

HA! You're just a kid!

My Dad's friends tell me all the time that "they have ties that are older than me."

I think this means that I'm WINNING!

Indeed you are! And the fact that I'm right behind you, maintaining a steady pace, neither gaining on you nor falling behind, means that I'm winning too! :)

Damn! I was just about to post "ha that's young" I'm....

But you beat me and so I guess you've won.
