Hi Arborwolf, I recommend starting a new "actual swap thread" at this point! Recommend a subject of: SPRING SWAP 2023 – SA May 13 at 11:00 a.m. in Berthoud! That'll give us a "fresh start" by getting rid of all the posts on this thread and I'll be able to get the FAQs right near the top to make them easier to find. Just post it on RMG, that gets to everybody who's close enough to come. In that post I'd repeat your "near location," and put that: this is the place to let us know if you plan to come, and to tell us what you might be bringing, or what you're hoping to find if there's something specific you might be looking for. As soon as I see the new thread started I'll post the FAQs, and I'll add what mmmm said above about how to enable private messaging--I don't think that's in the "current version" of the FAQs, and maybe there are other people who haven't done that yet and don't know how to do it. I'll also add that everybody needs to PM you with their email address so you can email them directly "about a week before the swap" with your exact address and, hopefully, some helpful directions on finding you if you think that might be necessary. To answer your question, that's how we get your exact address to everybody without posting it online. So if you'll give us a "clean" thread to start with I do believe we can get the whole thing started at this point! I've already potted a couple things--but with the cold weather we've still been having I'm not positive if they're gonna make it or not--but there are more things I'm thinking of potting with "all the beautiful weather" that supposed to be coming up in this coming week! Thank you for hosting, Skybird TH 04.06.23 @ 1055 MDT

Now I'm a bit "iffy" about showing up and so sorry about that. I've been trying to get my house painted and necessary exterior repairs done and it turned out a crew was available this week. Uncertain whether they will work on Saturday or not, but if they plan to work that day, I think I should stay in town in case they need access to something inside the house. So now I'm a "maybe".

Hi Alyssa, Here are the directions to private message me to get the address. BE SURE you have Private Messaging enabled on Houzz! To do that: Click on your screen name to go to your “profile page,” then, in the upper right corner hover over “Your Houzz,” then, in the drop-down menu click on “edit profile and settings.” From there, in the left side menu click on “advanced settings,” scroll all the way down to “privacy settings” and in the “who can message me” box, on the drop-down menu click on “allow anyone to message me.” Then click “update” on the bottom on the right side! Also, since houzz took over, when you PM somebody the person who receives the message will NOT get your personal email address unless you put it in the BODY OF THE MESSAGE, so when you send your PM to the host BE SURE you include your email address in the message! Thanks Arborwolf

Hello All, There are a number of people who I have on my list who stated they wanted to attend the plant swap. If this pertains to you, please send me a private message with your email so I can send you the address. Only 10 days away! Thanks. Arbor Wolf
