I know that when I joined the board, I was in hiding, and couldn't figure out how to get my state in place, till this subject came up. Then I went back to my profile [I thought that I had filled in everything] and finished filling things in. So, "in hiding" can be for many reasons. I love to know where everyone is from, but know that I have to respect their privacy, if that is what they want.
Happy Mom's day to everyong, sure do miss mine.
