I just want to voice my opinion here....not passing judgment on anyone.

While I understand what Randi is saying I have a suggestion. Randi, I think it would be a good idea to leave the original chat open to everyone and create another one for "mature" people.

Let's face it, older people have different issues such as menopause, divorce, parenting, job concerns, ailments such as arthritis and diabetes, trouble with in-laws....things that I don't think, interest young people. The younger ones seem to have concerns over school and homework, friendships, etc. Please, correct me if I'm wrong but I just can't see a 16 yr old getting involved in a discussion concerning menopause.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the younger crowd but sometimes I need discuss "adult" issues with an "adult".

Kay, I see that you have created your own chat room. Please don't feel excluded from the original one.

...and that's all I've got to say about that.
