I find it so sad to hear of the bad experiences that so many of you have had with the guilds you went to. I belong to a guild and have always felt welcomed by them. I do know some of the people better than others but I don't feel that I couldn't sit with a group that I wasn't that well aquainted with. I also belong to a group of about 18, that all live in the association I live in. It's nice to know other women that are doing the same things you are doing to share with.
