Hey don,
I actually didn't hide it but unless someone asked then it was a moot point for me.
Most people found out by asking me ...You are losing weight!...yes I am.... Are you ill? why no I am not...on purpose? why yes .... You look great! ....Thanks!
Now they say nothing as those who know now know and those who don't ,don't see it... Only those who haven't seen me in years ,...ie...7.... ask and that is fewer and fewer after all this time....
