Hello fellow readers! We are excited to commence our journey in the blogging/social media world, despite our advanced age and being out of touch with the youths' likes and preferences.

It just means we did not get the same experience out of it as you. Take it as a reflection on us, if you will. W e each got our own kinks ;)
