I don't know how I missed this post, thank you all so much. It means a lot, I haven't celebrated a birthday- mine or anyone else's- since I was... 4.*
Hard to believe i'm 50, why isn't paradise here yet? ; )

I don't feel 50; well parts of me do, but since leaving the wt I feel like a kid again. So much living to catch up on, 30 years worth!
One thing I don't feel like though is... A woman. Sorry andria, I'm a bloke & always have been! I think I need to change my username or avatar to something more masculine. Great big Bruce perhaps, with a photo of... some bloke I can't think of right now.

Again, thanks for all your kind thoughts, it means more to me than you could possibly know. It's great to be here, I'm so glad I found it.
Much love,
Greatbigbruce aka tinybluedot**


*actually, I just remembered i did celebrate someone else's when I was 18. Don't remember a great deal about it,, something about a 6-foot tall hookah pipe, and a burn in an expensive rug... Quite a party it was.

**tinybluedot, after Carl Sagan's book about our planet's place in the universe, Pale Blue Dot- I misremembered the title. Here's a tiny excerpt:
