I, too, tried to join a guild!!! Even took classes and felt SOOO out of place that I didn't go back. Seems, in this small town, everyone but me was related or friends with someone else. That was all they did -- gossip about people I didn't know. I don't even go to the quilt shop near my home if I can help it -- only in GREAT emergency. I just don't like the atmosphere in there!!!!! I'm sorry they made you feel that way --- YOU are a better person...they aren't. :evil:
