I just wish everyone would put locations in the classifieds, there are things like machines, frames, etc that I'd buy if it were local to me. Other than that, to each her own.

We love you any way Deb!!

oops, reading your question I looked at mine and it too said I'm hiding LOL.
I'm not, I think while updating my file some time ago, it sort of fell of LOL. So, I've stopped hiding and am proud to tell I'm completely Dutch ROFL

I think it unlikely that people just signing up and introducing themselves have secret pals.
Carron's probaby right - they just didn't think to fill location in.

When I joined, I didn't know there was a spot to say where I was from. My son had to come figure it out for me. :)

I guess I am "in hiding" too. When signing up for anything on the web, I am very hesitant to indicate my location. I know that everyone on this site seems extremely friendly and caring...but that doesn't mean that some stray looney couldn't wander in and seem all friendly too. Maybe you will consider me paranoid, but I don't publicly make my location known. My son, the computer geek, has drilled that into my little pea brain, and I have read and seen enough to know that I wouldn't want 'everyone' on the web to be my friend.

I love to see where everybody's from.

I love it when it says "in hiding" but the board name or first post gives away the location ;)

My husband has drilled it into me not to put my address out there. Maybe when my grand daughter <now age 6> is married to someone who can protect her, I will think about it.
It is definitely not because of secret pals, because I have sent packages to a postmaster before and asked them to forward to secret pals<works great!> But to give you a hint - Hey y'all, how y'all doing today? I am going over yonder to my sewing patch and sit awhile<VBG>

??? I enjoy seeing where everyone is from as well.
