This is just a "wondering" question.... Why do some people choose to have their location in hiding????

I think if they don't put anything in it automatically says "in hiding". As for why, I guess some people don't want to disclose where they live? I put mine in because I always like to see if others in my area are here.

They just did not know how to sign-up and skipped parts. At least I did.

Because I live in a very tiny town, I only give the state.

Many on here like myself choose to since we are involved in several secret swaps. So putting it "in hiding" is just to "secret" to our pals and angels! lol!

Granbury, TX- do you know a Pauline?? I do!! near Ft.Worth right? funny. it's a small retirement area I believe. We worked together in Houston many years.

I like when they say their location is in hiding, but in the intro they tell you where they are at.

Witness protection program.

Sorry, couldn't resist that.

I remember seeing a report on how a detective found a school age girl all by the clues that she gave out online. She thought she was being very careful, but they added up until he was able to put it all together. So I hate to be too detailed - just in case there might be some weirdo lurking out there...

I still think it's a shame that people don't even want to own up to which country they are in - and states or areas are usually big enough to give anonimity (did I spell that right?)

Charhend, I have relation that live in Granbury.
Hello from Western Maryland !!

There was a secret angel during all last year, and also a secret santa and that's probably why, the members probably haven't taken the time to update their profile, or like someone else has suggested, maybe they don't want to disclose their location.

HAHAHAHAHAA too good!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Some are in swaps, some just like their privacy :D:D:D

Maybe they are hiding from the Quilt Police!!!!!!!

Good One. lol

I too, believe it due to the "swaps" and "secret angels".
Or maybe some are just quilt shy.

Hi,
I live in England and often come to Keller, Tx to visit friends for our vacation.
We visited Granbury 2 years ago and walked all round the square - where I found a lovely quilt shop -- cannot remeber the name - but very nice.

Sadiemae, I have a sister and brother in Island Park, ID (small resort area in the corner near Montana) & every time I see your pretty avatar, I think of them and it makes me smile (thanks for that). I have only been there a few times, but it's a beautiful state. I live in a small town too, so I didn't put it in either.

As for in hiding, I was rather curious about that, but thought it was possibly the "Secret Quilt Police," infiltrating...kind of like Santa knows who's been good or bad. Just a theory though! :-D

Good one!

Maybe they are hiding from the quilt police!! :lol:

THEY WANT TO BE INVISIBLE--KINDA LIKE BURT IN "SOAP"

I'll fess up----I'm just plain ole LAZY!

It went in automatically for me. But I will be changing it to my real location.

That's reallllyyy goooood! LOLOLOL

I discovered the hard way that it's best if people don't know where you are writing from. Some people invaded my privacy in a way I didn't like, and some others took offense at something I wrote, although it wasn't intended to be personal. Now I just don't disclose my location and I can write freely without worrying that I might offend someone. I certainly never intend to offend anyone, but the written word is easily misinterpreted.

I don't even know where in the world this comes from. It came up on mine--and I didn't put it there. So maybe the same thing happened to other people.

made a mistake and overlooked it when i signed up. will add location when i get a notion to get my avatar ready to post! i dont want to miss any board member get togethers in my general area, so i better do it soon!

For sure me too because I don't know even how to add a picture etc. Don't know where I missed that nor how to do it. Oh well I am here anyway reading everyone elses comments and so enjoying their pictures. Some of you have adorable cats I would love to hug and gorgeous quilts I envy.

Sometimes we just don't know where we are :? Or where we belong :oops:

didn't ask me when I signed in, would like to add a picture too.

My DH has just updated my Location and added my avatar for me, Thank you dear Hubby.

Looks beautiful!!!

I am computer illiterate and can get frustrared trying to do things. What I know what to do on line, I do. Otherwise I end up in trouble or lost in cyberspace. Joanne

they owe money

Hehehe... probably, like me, they haven't figured out how to change it! I'm always afraid if I change something, it will all explode. Last time I changed something, I must have logged myself out permanently, because I couldn't reply to posts, or anything. It finally got back to normal, but don't ask me how. <G>
