PS also added a lovely view taken from the Blue Ridge  Parkway

Hi Sandra! How are things on your side of the state? I was wondering if you were still around.

I'm from Mobile Alabama on the Gulf coast as far south as you can get. I've  lived up and down the east and gulf coast ,Air Force brat and dh used to have a job where we traveled alot. Originally from Raliegh N.C., but lived in Mobile for 20yrs. The cost of living is cheaper here and close to the beachs in Fla. Al and Miss. only 2 hrs from New Orleans .

Please put that in your profile?  

Hi Cinnamonhuskies (Michelle)

Yes, I'm still around but by nature I'm a quiet person and listen more than I talk.  When you talk about selling your eggs for $1.50 a dozen I do think about tracking you down!

I'm from northern Indiana, so a neighbor to the south ;-). Nice to meet you.

I admit to being a prime perpetrator of  this. I am worse about it somedays than others. I've been stalked via the web, and still have problems with it from a few people. Some days, I am either tired of being so secretive or just not paying attention and so mention it anyway, but I often feel pretty vulnerable putting any location information at all in forums. I know that sounds a bit paranoid, but it doesn't take as much as one would hope to find ways to make someone's life a pain in the bottom.

I do have my state in my profile, but I often shy away from putting it into my posts. Profiles seem more private, and are often not as easily searchable as the larger web (where posts from forums regularly come up in crawler searches).

Edited for spelling.
