asking where I was located. From her info she is in my general area. I answered the pm and gave her my location.
I thought it would be nice to chat or get together so I called the number of her business and got her answering machine. I told her that I had answered her pm and that I was sorry I missed her.
I never got an answer to my call or to my pm. I am wondering now why she would pm just to find out my location.
It just seems odd to me that she would initiate contact, get the info she wanted and then not acknowledge my return pm or my phone call.
Paranoia or just plain rudeness?
BTW this happened weeks ago..plenty of time for a response, especially since the message I left indicated I had gotten her pm. I've also seen her posting so I know she is around and not away.
I've had similar situations happen to me also. Someone contacted me when I had posted about finding others in my area who are interested in decorating too. Then I responded and now it's like that person just dissapeared. Except I see them post often. Actually it was 2 different people. People are wierd.
I have PMed someone asking where they're from before. I think it is just one of those human-nature things--to see if they're from the same town as you; to see if they live in the same place as your friend/relative, etc. I wouldn't have thought anything of it.
Maybe your phone call might have intimidated her? You know...not knowing who's at the other end calling her and tracing her down (not to imply that you are "chasing her down").
I've posted about my location and she mentioned that she was about 20 minutes from me.
Her phone number is listed on the web page that she has referenced in her membership profile, so I didn't "track her down"..I just called that number.
"Personally...I think that she must love fondant and wants nothing to do with you "
I am very honest about that. Maybe she was hoping to convert me and figured I was a lost cause? 
Who knows. I just thought it was strange.
Oh by the way 2sdae I'm from kentucky to!! 
Glad to see a fellow kentuckian on here, used to see a lot more but they have dropped like flys or something. LOL Just thought I would throw that in...bad sense of humor... Maybe the CCer that pm'd you has a bad memory like I do....It's the age thing I guess
I personally would not enter into a conversation as such. I love getting on here and learning and helping where I can. However, we are online and you can't trust everything to be as it is presented. Be wise like the fox and gentle like the lamb.
There used to be a post looking for fellow kentuckians and a nice CCer was trying to get a meeting up and I guess it never materialized...I don't know a little while after that was mentioned my father died and I kinda stepped off of CC for a few months.
But I would be aware of giving any information to anybody anymore, it's scary what some people are capable of IHATEFONDANT.
Maybe she was hoping to convert me and figured I was a lost cause?
Never mind her....don't ever come near me because I WILL convert you....that's it...I'm changing my screen name to IMHAVINGALOVEAFFAIRWITHFONDANT
seriously, I agree with what was said....we're all great, until soemthing happens. Don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you see. I don't trust people I know personally...let alone the internet! (no offense to anyone...I'm sure you all agree!!)
adven..I can understand your love affair..you do work magic with that stuff.
I think it is wonderful when someone discovers a medium they like and then turn it into something beautiful. 
If you ever decide to give classes on how to work with that nasty stuff, I'm in!!! 
Just thought I would tell you, that I had a member contact me for help... someone was trying to get info on her to turn her in.... she has since not posted much, asked me to edit her posts to take out personal info that she unknowingly put out there..... supposedly it was competition and she was NOT having any of that..... so just be careful 
...... we like having you here!
I have PMed with several people in my immediate area. Only one have I given personal information to, come to find out she is married to my ex-SIL's cousin (she's legit, I had even met her previously at my niece's birthday parties!)
I guess you just have to be careful, even though we all think we "know" each from CC, that doesn't mean we know each other personally. I love CC! But, I am leary about giving out TMI!
Well... don't know why she didn't pm/respond back to you after initiating it in the first place... but I'm in a different yet similar situation, I pm'd a lady about the type of nozzle she uses when piping BC on her cupcakes -- no reply... must be some special nozzle she's got there... :p
I thought I'd reply here. I get a lot of PMs asking questions etc. I try my best to reply to them all but haven't yet worked out how you can see if you've replied to them or not so it makes keeping up with it all a bit tricky. So she may just not have realised she hasn't replied to your PM.
Regarding the phone call - I think I would be nervous about having someone call me, particularly if I hadn't invited them to.
Please don't worry about it or take it personally. You're a good person who reached out, if she didn't reach back it's not to do with you.

Thanks!!!
I would certainly hope her contact wasn't for other than noble reasons.
I don't know what she could turn me in for..I work out of a legal location. And I gave her the name of the Town I live in..not the one I work out of.
"Regarding the phone call - I think I would be nervous about having someone call me, particularly if I hadn't invited them to. "
Emma..the phone number I called is listed as her business number and I am assuming that isn't her home number. I'm sure she she wants any and all people to call her business line. Even little ol me
Wow, the cake decorating business must be rather cut throat. Do the professionals here see this type of thing often? I'm in a rather competitive business, but the competiton is right out there in front of you, not a whole lot of sneaky taking place. Hopefully the other poster wasn't in to anything nefarious and just dropped the ball on personal correspondence.
It is sad the world we live in. I understand being careful. There are alot of strange people out there. (even ones with icing ) I responded to a thread about wanting to meet CCers in my area and I contacted the person. We have become fast friends and get together on average once a week to share ideas and teach each other things. It has been great fun and I would have hated to missed out on the experience.
Yeah ~ be careful. Just the other day I began thinking that maybe I need to be more careful with giving out info. You just never know 
.
Ummmmm. I have had someone from this site call my business line questioning me about a thread and wanted more information.
Needless to say I was very uneasy that she "called" me and didn't even attempt to pm me. I am sure it was probably harmless but it did get me thinking.
feel free to call me anytime IHATEFONDANT!
i have a confession...IHATEFONDANT2!....we can gossip behind fondant's back about how tempramental it can be...ha!
it seems to me if you have a business listing...that's pretty much open game....
i must say there are some real oddballs in this biz...(none of us of course!)
Thanks little!!
We could start a "IHATEFONDANT" fan club!!
We could make a pillar of the stuff, light it on fire and cook hot dogs and marshmallows.
We'll do it in advens backyard.
I had a similar situation... a member contacted me and asked where I was, and told me where she was. She said she was interested in getting some locals together just to gossip and share trade secrests and stuff, wanted to know if I'd be interested. (Of course I was!) Then I didn't hear from her for a long time. She recently wrote (after several months) just to say that she has been wicked busy, etc. so perhaps you ran into the same type of thing. Sometimes we mean to do something, but real life steps in and derails us! Hope you aren't being stalked anyway! hahaha!
