Well, S-T-U, I'll tell you. We've had some bad brushes here and we are somewhat touchy now. If you'd like to participate, I'm sure we'd love to have you. One thing we usually recommend to strangers is that they read some of the older threads and read the newer ones, too, until you get a feel for the place.
If you click on this link, it should take you to a thread where you will find other links to threads that we enjoyed and chose as our favorites. We know it is impossible to read all the threads here, many of us have tried and failed! Well, here's the link:

Edit We have members here from all age groups from teens through the 80's. Most of us might be older than you, but we really don't care much about age here. Enjoy!
