I guess it doesn't matter where the issues you mention have been something we have all experienced, the cell phone issue for me though is the most aggravating, if you are that important and need to be called every 30-60 minutes you maybe are too important to attend a retreat where others come to sew, or at least take your calls outside the quilting room, i think the only thing worse is the person who has to skype (?sp) on their computer with their daughters and grandchildren or whomever, I'm so glad you were able to move
