Welcome aboard CutnStuf,
Glad to have you wondering around here (we all do it time to time)

Great to find another older-generation magician here to provide some classic insight. We have a few running around here (4-5 of them) around your age. I'm personally 21.
As for the chatting, we are on just about all the time at
ExoMagic - Tinychat - Hope to see ya there. The general rule of thumb in the art that I have learned here is the more you give the more you receive.
Enough with the small chat, whats your favorite PIE?!
