Curious Question....
Does anyone (IRL) besides H know that you talk on a message board? If they didn't and found out do you think they would think it was weird?
Re: Curious Question....
My sister and mom do. They think I'm weird. A couple of my friends do, but they just shrugged it off and didn't say anything about it.
I don't even really talk about it anymore because every time I do, I get crap for having Interwebz friends.
My ILs and my parents and my sister know. They don't really think too much about it.
Most of my IRL friends don't know but I don't think they would care.
Eh... I don't know who knows and who doesn't. I know my BFF knows and doesn't care, as she's part of a (non-Nest) military board and is a very active member on there. I get a lot of my OSU football and basketball information from an OSU board and often relay it... when people ask where I heard the info or whatever, I tell them.
I will say this, though: OStateKris and I are friends IRL because of The Nest. We spend football Saturdays together (usually), as she tailgates with us and is a part of our season tickets group. When people ask how we know each other or how we met, I always get weird. Ha! It's like, I don't know if I should say that we met online or not. So, usually I just leave it to her to answer because she does such a good job at stating it. I don't know why I can't just say, "We met online"... but it's kind of hard for me. It's ridiculously silly.

Lots of my friends know and my parents, sister, IL's.... a lot of people know. I'm sure a lot of them thought I was weird at first, but since I have so many good friends here they think it's a little bit less weird now.
ETA: Several nesties and I have had the same weird situation that TJ described. When Jenn had #2, lots of us went up to the hospital to visit. She had a couple of friends there who asked how we all knew each other... we all just looked at each other waiting for the other one to say something. LOL. I think Allison ended up coming up with some kind of answer that was less embarrassing. I joke that it's like eharmony for finding friends.
This was my first thought when she asked the question. I'm just usually drinking at the tailgate, that's why I do such a good job of explaining
.
I don't specify thenest when I do mention talking on a message board, but I have told people.
I mentioned it to one friend in passing, and she kind of gave me a funny look. Some of my other friends might think it was strange, and others would see nothing odd with it.
DH talks with his online gaming friends on their internal message board almost every day, so he can't give me the side eye for being on the Nest. I
Mot of my IRL friends and family know and don't say much about it. The first time I went to a GTG I sat in the car for 10 minutes telling my DH (who was out of town at the time) that just did't think I could do it. I finally ended up going in and after the embarassment (another story) I had a GREAT time and gained some great friends.
When someone asks how I know so and so I typically just say "my newly wed group".
