Created new nestie name

MrsRosella

I have a new nestie name, SkiGirl1080s. I can't post for three days though.  I guess that's a good security feature. 

My last name is unique and some of you know what town I live in.  Over the weekend, a girl recognized my husband and proceeded to ask me if I was "MrsRosella".  She doesn't even visit the knot/nest.  She was looking for venue information for her wedding and she found our wedding pictures and bio link in someone else's bio when she googled.  It freaked us out a bit, especially since I've confided some personal issues lately.

With the new boards, it's obvious we have a few lurkers out there.  I'd rather be known as SkiGirl!  So in a few days, I'll pop up under the new name once I can start posting.

Smart move! I was actually thinking of doing the same thing!

Wow. That would make me feel totally uncomfortable too.  Totally understand your reasoning for doing this.  Thanks for the heads up!

Another thought, I feel like I "know" some of you all pretty well, even if we haven't met IRL.  If I were to see a nestie and her DH out that I recognize from their postings or bio and I have never met that nestie IRL, I don't think I would approach them.  That's just me...I wouldn't feel comfortable.  Some of you may, but...I don't know.  I just wouldn't.

I agree with Aspen.  I don't think I would approach someone, especially a DH and say "Hey, I've seen your pics on the Nest and your wife is so and so."  If anything I would page the nestie to say "was that you or your DH" but def not approach IRL.  Just doesn't sit right with me for some reason.

good call and i understand...but now i'm gonna forget who you are!!!!!

 

heres a good story,,,,there was this girl i forgot what board we met, but anyhoo, we took the same NCL cruise for our honeymoon and we emailed each other and said we should hook up on the cruise....(FYI-she had face pics in her bio)

so long story short, we never emailed and we happened to be on a luau in Maui and I ran into her and her dh on my way to the bathroom, and I asked her if she was so and so (i forgot her name now)...anyways,,,she seemed really weired out by it, but we did say we'd meet up so wtf?

I think she was embarassed in front of her DH at the time.LOL

good move!  i actually had this experience with a server at a restaurant who was lurking on the knot boards, and it freaked me out... i have changed my name and don't have my wedding pics posted anywhere... i just don't want to be recognized!

Very prudent.. But seriously, why would someone post a link of your bio?? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but that's pretty creepy. Although your bio was one of the most beautiful around. Nevertheless, I wouln't dream of going up to a random stranger - regardless of knowing he was married to a fellow knottie/nestie. In fact, I've actually seen someone's DH a couple of times. I instantly recognized him from seeing his pics posted on the Knot and the Nest, but and I couldn't bring myself to go up to him to say, "Hi, I know your wife through this message board, yadda, yadda, yadda, and I loved your wedding pictures, video, etc". That would just scream stalker. I honestly think we reveal way too much on these boards. And now, considering the amount of lurkers there are - in light of the new nest board - it's apparent we're visible to more people than we originally thought.
