Hi, Denise:
We welcome you with opened arms. You will find that there is a somewhat small but quite respected elder contingent here at Susan's Place. I, myself, am age 55. Age has not been a hinderance to any of us here. You will be accepted, so fear not.
As to Sarah deleting your previous post, personal message her and simply ask why.
Just keep posting. Be yourself. Join in and relax. You're among friends. Forget about labels. They don't matter here. This is a place where you can just be you, and that's more than good enough.
