And as far as I know, they don't read it much because chances are I'm not writing anything that I haven't already discussed with them at some point anyway. And NONE of my family of origin know I blog. They would find it rather strange, I think. So I can see where the fact that no one knows you're a blogger can make it difficult to discuss what you've "discussed" with your blog friends today.Elspeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/17495546895657214080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-17895453884249844932008-03-28T13:20:00.000-05:002008-03-28T13:20:00.000-05:00When I share with the Prince something you've emai...When I share with the Prince something you've emailed me, I definitely say 'Brenda- you know my Christian blog friend? The one who lives in Texas?' <BR/><BR/>Then the Prince will nod and we can finish the conversation. Most of the people who comment at my place the hubs already knows. <BR/><BR/>And since we're in Africa he's the only one I chat with about the blogs I read.JulieMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092325804765281007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-55884713236369310132008-03-28T09:23:00.000-05:002008-03-28T09:23:00.000-05:00well, poke away!

That is hilarious!<BR/><BR/>by the way, Brenda, I meant to tell you that whenever I talk about you, this is what I say to the hubby. "you know, Brenda, my e-friend who always makes fun of you." Yeah, you've only poked fun at him ONCE, but for some reason, I say that EVERY TIME. He responds with "you can just say 'Brenda.' And she only said something about me once."Huse Yo Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18004838935064378063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-38050386768876966372008-03-28T08:30:00.000-05:002008-03-28T08:30:00.000-05:00AH!

Well, they know I read blogs just not that I have one. <BR/><BR/>That could be causing an issue.<BR/><BR/>And Rachel, don't worry it doesn't freak me out anymore that people meet online. I get it now.

Don't judge." Yep, just like that. As if it's all one word. oneofmyefriendsdontjudge<BR/><BR/>Now my friends (and even my dad) are comfortable with it. Even though they probably laugh at me. My best friend still can't understand how I get comments from people I don't know and I'm okay with it. ha ha ha!<BR/><BR/>I can't WAIT for KIR!

It's funny, those I have gotten to know online (that used to freak me out too!) have been those who know me quite well. It's so much easier to be ME behind a computer screen.<BR/><BR/>So, Brenda, you are my friend. :) (And, if anyone asks, I just say, "Oh, I met her online."
