Hi. I recently found that I had joined the Quilting Board in the past and had forgotten (I'm forgetful...sorry), and as I was browsing this time (I've joined again) I saw that I had put "in hiding." And, actually, your response that I'm replying to is quite correct! On the other hand, I was doing that tongue-in-cheek. I am a Texas gal who grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast, moved around the country with my husband until he retired a few yrs ago. My name is Fran and I now live in the Dallas, TX, area with the same guy that I've been with for 56 years. Not in hiding, I'm In Quilting and happy to be. I also have 4 dogs. Love to draw, paint, write verse and was even in Who's Who, twice,
for my clay figurines. Wife, mother, grandma, and great grandma. Retired now. Happy 2-B Quilting, Fran

I try to be friendly and helpful with everyone - but some of the situations I've been in online over the last 15 years have made me very wary and cautious - and there's nothing wrong with that! :)
Whatever your reasons are for not wanting to disclose your location, they're good ones.
If you don't even want to mention your real name, that's fine too. Everyone has to find the level of caution that suits their own situation and you're not doing anything wrong if you choose to be a bit more reticent about your personal details than others. :)

Maybe they just are learning to navigate this site. I thought I had put my state and found out it did not show up...just a thought....

When I found the site I wasn't sure what I was signing up for so only put the
minimum. I love the Board and just haven't thought about fixing it!

I feel the same way. I would love to find people close to me. Uhm, maybe that's why they stay in hiding. HA

Well, looks like mine says "in Hiding". I'll have to find where to fix that. From a Texan living in TN!
