Ok- Judy asked previously how this board has helped you, and we got some great responses.

Never mention this board to anyone in real life, and never brought anyone here.

On the DASP board though- many of the oldies there got to be friends IRL because we've met. But even there, I never brought anyone to the board or mentioned it much IRL. I mentioned it to people only once I was meeting DASPers IRL- but I never actually showed them the link or board page or anything. There was always still something quite anonymous about it all- the way I know many people wanted it to be. So I don't mix my real-life everyday people with online people (unless the online people end up being real-life people after a real-life meeting).

My question for this week is two part:

1) Who have you talked about in "real life" about this board and

I tell everyone about this board, just not ABOUT this board. LOL. Make sense? I basically talk to people about having a group of single mom's dating group that I am always talking too, but no mention of internet, etc.

2) have you brought anyone from your "real life" here? No, nor will I. I want to keep this board for myself. MINE ALL MINE! Because I'm a selfish brat and I tell you all more then I even tell myself. LOL.

I've mentioned that I participate in a message board for single moms to M and my friends, my sister.But I don't give anyone the actual name of the board or show anyone the link. Probably would take my face off this if I did tell anyone.

I might share some of the advice I get from the board to a "real life" person... but I don't invite them here because I like the anonymity. Now that's selfish...isn't it.

I have given the URL for the domestic abuse board to real life people who I think need the support... I guess because that feels more life saving.

1) Who have you talked about in "real life" about this board and
hmmm, just about everyone I know! I talk about you guys sometimes as if you're my neighbors- "so and so was just dealing with this same issue, and this is what she decided to do"... that kind of thing.

2) have you brought anyone from your "real life" here?
No, not to my knowledge, although I keep telling my girlfriend she should come here for the great advice. As far as I know she hasn't, but I'm going to keep pestering her.

I always tell my friends who are dating about this board. But no converts yet.
