I'm sorry you feel that way because this really is a very friendly board. I don't think I have ever read one of your posts but would certainly like to in the future! I am in the same age group as Laurie, and I do believe that there are more folks here your age than us "older gals." (Sorry Laurie! LOL!) Stick around and I know you will grow to love it here. Us Pet Talkers love pictures so if you could post a few it would help us get to know you quicker. Sometimes it helps to place a furry face with a human so we can make that "family connection." Once again, my apologies to you for feeling left out. Please stick around.
