Welcome and Disclaimer:

Welcome to the Over-40-Crew Diary Ring. We are a bunch of men and women that are just a tad past the "I hate my life", "I hate my parents", "I hate school" phase. Been there done that and now appreciate there it a real life. I started this club for us Oldies that like to read other people diaries that share a more mature outlook. This isn't always the case. We all have our days. It's just nice to have diaries that don't talk about "boys" or "getting drunk" (Well, ok, guilty as charged) or my personal favorites, the ones who "tIpe LiKe This."

But at least we have one thing in common. We lived through the angst of childhood and can now hopefully appreciate the fruits of our labors.

I make one request here. Though I do not condone censorship, I do not feel comfortable with porn. There is a fine line sometimes. If you are writing about graphic sex in your diary, please state it at the beginning or the entry. Some of our members (including myself) may enjoy dirty jokes now and then but we have our comfort level. I am not saying not to write it, just please put a "sexually explicit" disclaimer at the top of the entry. Thank you. I am sorry if this offends any of you, but hey, it's my Ring. If this is not cool with anyone, feel free to quit the ring and start you own.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I perhaps should have written this at the beginning when I started the ring, but I didn't realize how many were going to join!

That being said,
