QOTW- Board Talk
12
Mon, 04-26-2004 - 8:58pm

Here I am racking my brains trying to think of a qotw and it hits me while I'm reading Calie's roll call post. She mentioned something about sharing some of our 'Positive Thoughts' posts with people not on the board. So....here are this weeks questions-


1. Do you talk about the board to people in your daily living?


2. Do you think they think it's good or kind of weird?


3. Have you shared the link with friends?


4. How did you find this wonderful place?

I find it interesting to see how other people react to 'message boards'....I was probably one of them before I found the support from other on-liners ;-)
I know what you mean about your safe-haven!

1. Do you talk about the board to people in your daily living?
I do actually- I've been telling them about the summer challenge- and asking them to join me on some of them. Plus sometimes I ask if someone can give an opinion on some posts.


2. Do you think they think it's good or kind of weird?
I can tell that some people just think it's plain weird that I'm here coming to see you all everyday, and others think it's wonderful to have some place like this....it's mostly 'computer-friendly' people who understand more!


3. Have you shared the link with friends?
Nope....as Calie said, this is my safe place....you're my friends here, and yea they hear about you, just like you hear about them sometimes. But it's strange, sometimes I share things here that I wouldn't necessarily share with 'physical' friends. Some of them know where it is, and maybe they lurk, lol!


4. How did you find this wonderful place?
I believe originally I was probably searching for information and iVillage popped up, and I've been a junkie since, lol- that was about three years ago!

These are awsome questions IG!!! You did it again!!!

1. Do you talk about the board to people in your daily living?

Very little!!! I only have mentioned it to a few people!! My DH knows, my kids and a few friends.

2. Do you think they think it's good or kind of weird?

This is the reason I don't talk about you all very much. Most people look at me like I am nuts that I go on line to talk about getting fit and healthy. LOL They just don't have a clue!!! My DS thinks it is great and sometimes he will hang out with me reading a few posts and reading what I am posting. LOL

3. Have you shared the link with friends?

I have shared the site info with 3 friends but I don't think any of them have come to look around. I think you have to be really into health and fitness to want to get this involved in it.

4. How did you find this wonderful place?

I found it through another email. I can't really remember but I think maybe it was the community walking challenge last year. I join in on that challenge last year and really enjoyed it. Then I lurked around for a while before I started to post anything. I was actually very nervous to get involved at first. Just Call me GREEN!! LOL

Now I can't wait to get home so I can get on and see how everyone is doing.

Oh no am I getting hooked or something. LOL

I sometimes talk to people and I want to say my DH instead of my husband, or DS instead of my son. LOL I want to talk in abriviation form. LOL Anyone else do that???

Good morning!

1. Yep, I talk about the board to my bf (best) and she thinks I am coocoo. I really thrive on the dedication I have found here.

2. I know she thinks I am wacko. Oh, well. I am dieting to kick her a$$. She is inspiring me more than she knows...or maybe not. you know how bfs have that "internal competition" now and then? Well, ours is weight loss. She gained some weight with me when I was prego, now she will lose it with me, too.

3. Nope, haven't shared. Not that I am selfish, just haven't.

4. I love ivillage and this is just another reason why. I actually stumbled here by accident, but viola!! I love it!

I begin to abbreviate things so many times, it's kind of worrying, lol- and that's a fav!!! I'll often find myself just chuckling after someone says something funny, and instead of starting with words I say "lol" and get all kinds of weird looks!


I have also referred to Bunny as Bunny in real life too- he's not happy about that one AT ALL!


Ooooh, another thing I often find myself doing (but catch it in time) is if I'm signing off on an e-mail, and sometimes even a note to a parent, I'll sign with "IG" -oh dear....who am I again? lol!!!!

It is too funny when we do that!!! I forgot about the lol thing. I do that too. Or I will think in abbreviations. LOL If someone tells a joke I will think, "oh LOL to funny, lol" I really must be cracking up!!!

I definately think in "computer abreviation speak" but so far have caught myself before I've actually said it aloud.
