I LOVE it when that happens.

I should really turn my avatars off. Someone was in my office the other day, and I had forgotten to minimize LoT, and she said, "hey, that's you!" Oops.

Okay, that is FUNNY stuff. Nerdliness in action!

Last night after a party....my sister was telling me about her fiance researching online some islands that they're going to "hop" to when they're in Jamaica this summer. Apparently...he found some travel internet bulletin boards to read and ask questions at.

So my sister doesn't know that I have posted thousands and THOUSANDS of posts on online bulletin boards. Has no clue. She says, "He told me that you wouldn't believe the internet geeks who would bend over backwards to help you out on these bulletins board things! He's taking their advice with a grain of salt...because come on. Who ARE these people?"

Soooo.......that was my opportunity to come clean. To tell her that I'm one of those internet geeks. I'm one of THOSE people. I post and post. I tell people what I'm eating, what I'm wearing. I post about things I want, things I have. I post about my kids, my husband, my family......and sometimes about her. This was my big chance to come clean. To tell my dirty little secret.

But I just smiled, raised my eyebrows, nodded and calmly drank my cosmo. And then tried to figure out how I was going to explain my July trip to her.

Smart choice -- smile, nod and sip.

I wonder what she would think about your last trip report (which I thoroughly enjoyed, btw)?

Yes, that was the cruel irony. :o I'm one of them and then some.

Claire-

It might be fun to find out where they are posting and their usernames. Then, you go to that site and register. When you run across an inquiry by them, just say something like "Well, I'm just an internet geek and take what I say with a grain of salt, but..."

I get the irony. I just wanted to point it out.
