So many views, so few votes! lol
I agree (ETA: with not caring who knows). I tend to have to explain what the nest is to people (the knot was more well known), but it's way better than the other forum I'm on that even you girls don't know about! lol I'm not ashamed of that one either, but I am embarrassed about how I ended up there.
Someone on my local is a very active poster. She posts any and everything she has for sale on craigslist, asks for advice, etc. but once made a comment she didn't want her IRL peeps to know she's on here. I kind of feel like she's taking advantage, but doesn't respect us. KWIM?

I agree with Leigha and Lucky... a lot of times its easier to just say "i read online..." or "these girls I know..." than explain what the nest is and why I'm on it. Plus I dont really want everyone to know what I do at work all day.

The local sounds a little strange to me, Leigha. I'm guessing there are a few people in her life that know about it though.
For me it's not about being ashamed. I have a very good friend that tends to read way too much into things and I just don't want to deal with that. The most simple fb posts and I get calls, texts, and emails until I give her complete context, etc. Sometimes I want to just vent and while she is great at listening, she tends to take it too seriously. I just need to scream and be over it! Even if it's clearly not about her, she tries to be the supportive friend but it sometimes gets to be too much. You girls get it without adding a bunch of drama.
I mention stuff from TN to DH, and sometimes my closest friends/sisters. It's not that I am hiding it, i just have a fairly small social circle at the moment. And i dont want to bring it up at work, bc i don't want it widely known that most of my nest time happens at work, (plus boss is a 40 yr old dude, and we don't talk about personal stuff much, so there's not much from TN would really come up in convos at work)
When referencing with others, I'd say the "these girls i know" or "i heard online" kind of thing, versus explaining the whole relationship...
I've met quite a few gals IRL (NYC & DW knotties), so the cat is out of the bag. Samantha and I have gone back and forth between NYC and Louisville quite a few times, I meet up with another DW girl every time I'm in Sonoma, and I usually see a couple of the NY girls for dinner once a month. None of this is weird to me, but to me, friends are friends - who the eff cares how you meet them?
But for the record, regardless of how cool the girls I've introduced him to are, Alex will forever call knotties/nesties my "internet friends." And he teases me mercilessly about it.

I viewed without voting because I'm not sure how to vote.
I am not ashamed, although I don't call myself a "nestie". I don't find message boards or online friends weird in the slightest.There is another board that I have been posting on since 2002, and have many dear friends that I met there.
However, DH thinks it's weird. He is not worried or scared, but he teases me about my "internet friends". I generally say "one of my friends" or "I read online" as I don't like to give our the urls.
Dh also thinks it's really strange. The first time I went to a GTG (back in TK days) he got really upset like "how can you meet these people from the internet?" and I had to remind him I met him on the internet. But he is the only one who knows about TN. I just say "I read online that..." if I'm ever quoting anyone.
But I think if I met more people in person that would change. Right now the LA girls are all pregnant and the board is dead so there's really not anyone for me to meet.

A.) I am not pregnant.
B.) I would take great pride in creeping out your husband. I consider it a specialty of mine.
C.) I'm going to be in LA in the next couple of months.

This exactly.
Not ashamed. I met some of my closest friends on here. Of course I can say they are my IRL friends since we all shacked up in Mamie's apartment less than a month ago. <moment of silence for those who couldn't be there>
The strangest thing about the G2G was the fact it was not strange at all. Mames and I hung out for awhile before everyone else got there, and it was completely normal/comfortable chillin on her couch talking and watching TV. I was weirded out by how not weirded out I was. I think we all felt that way. But after you talk to a group of people daily, all freaking daily, for basically 2 years you really get to know them. Totally worth driving 6 hours thorough the mountains of PA for
Now for the rest of you b!tches... you could all have peens and be naked stalkers. jk jk jk I think everyone on here is pretty alright.
