Wondering if there are other middle aged members out there.[/b]

That would be me. I'm 49. I hope I'm at middle age anyway 'cause 49 + 49 = 98.

(I was told that 35 years is actually considered middle age because man supposedly is only given 70 years.)

I am a noobie, too. I cannot mentor (I believe they call it "adopt" here) you 'cause I need adopting myself. I have not put myself up for adoption yet because I am being stubborn that I can do this by myself!! I have not had a lucid dream. But good luck to you. Look forward to hearing more from you.
