I just refuse to live that way. Maybe I'm too trusting but I trust until there is cause not to. I will continue to believe the good in most folks. I try to be careful in my dealings with people but I'm not going to waste too much time hiding...Life's just too short to worry about someone stealing my identity, which I know can happen but so far, people have always treated me professionally...My Mom wants everything with her address shredded (which I do for her) but I tell her...you're listed in the phone book. Anyone can look that up. If someone is determined to fine me or who I am, there's a million ways to do it. To each his own, but it's not for me. I have given my address to over a dozen people on this board and have only had wonderful experience writing and sharing with those folks. I wouldn't change it for the world. I've made some wonderful friends on this board.
