Too old For a vocation?

[Vocation to love]

It is good to hear what seems like many rather positive accounts, but at the same time I wish you could hear the many bad experiences that people have had. Unfortunately these are shared quietly and are held under the surface. I think if they were brought to the surface in a kind and thoughtful way it would be beneficial to all.

Hi @Vocation to love- I read your post here just prior to closing off and going to bed (I am in Australia and probably in a different time zone to perhaps most).  I was actually replying to Maggyie and her comments as stated in my post.  Also I did prefix my final comments with "As a general comment" meaning that I was commenting on the subject generally and not addressing any other member's comments in particular.  They were general comments on advanced age and vocation.

Nothing in my post, linked above, was addressed to you directly and hence I found your comments to me personally, and about me personally, quite puzzling.

Hi BarbaraTherese you did sayVTL thank you for sharing so I presumed that that was to me.  Anyway apologies -  if I don't see my name I won't put a name in a reply in future. As I'm fairly new to this site I didn't know the protocol.  Thank you for letting me know.

No problem VTL - we were all new to the site at one time and feeling our way around things and I for one have put my foot in things more than once, and have no guarantees at all I wont do so again in the future. 

  If you look at my original post here, you will see that I quoted Maggyie initially in my post, which will most often mean that I am replying to her.  When I later thanked you for your own post using the initials of your Phatmass identity it was indeed addressed to you.  Since it was more or less prior to going to bed for the night I decided to thank you for your comments and opinions addressed directly to me and leave it at that until this morning.

As I said, no problems!    The written word can be easily misunderstood.
