Hi Claire and all!!! One disadvantage you pointed out for me is a good advantage in some cases. Many times I don't want to be noticed in the crowd, I prefer to be invisible. Sometimes living in a small city where everybody knows what you do and where you go may be bothering. It seems everybody is watching you, don't you think?
Have a great day!!
