maybe some of them, like myself don't have a computer, and i borrow my sons laptop or go to the library to go on, soooo sometimes i don't have access. my sone is out of school for 2 weeks, so hopefully i'll have his laptop. sme peopl just take a break coz times flies and no quilting is getting done. or like me get a new machine and have projects, gifts ect due. i'm sure there's 10 more reasons i can't think about. i go into the chat and most people ther are nice.
