I Need to Know Where We Stand. JFF

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

We are all Electronic Sisters chatting over the Cyber Fence.

:)

I like electronic sisters..now we need an official sorority name! Maybe..iota nu beta? Eta pi? Mu beta? Lol ;)

Gangster Sisters.

I say you all know as much about me as my friends and family.

If someone took the time to go back and read all of my questions and responses, I would say that if your a regluar on here... you probably know me better than most people I know in person.

In person I tend to keep things in and private from most others. Only a few friends know everything there is about me. I tend to ask about things bothering me to all of you :)

Pretty sad to say but all of you are my form of daily adult conversations lately! (other than my husband)

I don't know I would say friends... I do have a couple of mom's that I have added to facebook and one that we have become very close friends.. but for sure to the rest, some sort of acquaintances. How can you not be when you read about so many of thier lives and follow them through some tuff times and help them back to thier feet... no matter how big or small :)

I ditto Theresa! Electronic Sisters. (I love that and am going to start using it!)

I refer to this as my "online mom group" when I speak of it. I don't consider anyone on here "friends" although I wish I knew some of them better, I would probably then consider them friends. I just messaged a mom and told her I swear our husbands are twins! I am "friends" with a couple from here on Facebook so I guess you could say we "know" each other that way, or as much as you can get from reading posts and seeing pics. I think I would have a lot in common with some of the moms here and wished they lived closer. =)

I definitely speak of the Mamas here when I'm in a great debate or need a reference. :) I say, "Mom's Forum" I never say MP, because I don't want them on here! Lol. I need a place where I can talk about what I need to and about WHO I need to here.

With that said, I often feel I put more out about myself than I should. I don't like to be too open on such an OPEN forum. But, if you knew me in person you would probably know more about me than you care to. I'm not limited to what I can type here. :)

Actually people that know in real life know me as well or better than most people here do. There are a few I PM with regularly, they know me as well as anyone.

When I refer to PMs I speak of something I heard from friends, when I read it here, I say I read it online even if it is written by someone I would refer to as a friend.

Super mom's support system.

I use the phrase, "Moms' Forum".

& yes, I reference you regularly.

& I've learned sooooo much from all of you. Just today, I mentioned "selective mutism" to a mom....it's the perfect descriptor for her child!

Many, many thanks!

It's my escape here ... honestly, I do not remember many details about any one - I know there are names I just do not pay much attention to them mostly to the questions and needs.

No, I don't think so. I'm on the quiet side as a rule, and perhaps I'm a little more outspoken in this very anonymous setting. But I'm the same person here as I am at home or in public. At least I certainly try to be; I'm not interested in being a split personality.

I think you may say "friends," "cyber friends," or "electronic sisters," if you like, acknowledging that you are referring to the women who interact with your posts and not *everybody* (and heaven knows how many people EVERYBODY is!). But "the moms" is fine, too. There's nothing wrong with it. You could say "The Mom Consensus," which might make somebody else smile because it sounds so media-ish.

"Noisy ladies" is definitely appropriate in some cases!
