Hi, Gary...

    I didn't know about this, but I feel like I should have known.(
    I,too, am going to try it on my own phone number.) The world is
    changing so fast, it is hard to keep up with it. I am not a very
    paranoid or scared person, but I do try to keep reasonably safe.
    Would my idea of keeping my address off of my business cards at
    least, perhaps, keep the dumbest folks in the neighborhood from
    hitting on me? The ones who don't know how to manipulate computer
    information, but rather just ride around in beat-up pickup trucks
    looking for something easier to do than working for a living? Anyone
    who knew my name and town could stop at either the post office or
    Fred's Store...the only two establishments regularly open in town...
    and get helpful directions to my home, anyway. So maybe I should just
    not worry about it. At least the materials and jewelry that I have
    are almost always just my own property rather than that of my
    customers, so I don't have to worry about that kind of liability. 

    I know that we've had the whole safety/robbery discussion before,
    and I don't necessarily want to hear all the scarey stories again,
    but does anyone else have opinions about the business card info? 

    Thanks for your info, Gary. I'llcheck on it and see what I get.
    Probably a map right to my mailbox at the end of my driveway!
