I do that too, sometimes when I'm talking to people IRL I have to stop myself from calling Ian DH. His name's so short anyway I don't even know why I shorten it further.

I quote OB mums all the time and usually say it came from 'one of the girls', 'a friend' or 'online/ohbaby'. Unless it's something really brilliant, then I say that I came up with it all by myself

There are a couple of reasons I don't always say "from a forum", first being I consider many of you to be my friends now *aah..group hug* so saying that it came from a friend is easier and truthful.

The other reason, particularly when talking to medical profs, is that many seem to see the internet and online forums as scare mongerers and I don't want the valuable information and advice that I have received from you all to be discounted simply because we communicate online.

It does depend who I am talking to.

My mum thinks this place has been great for me as I have meet people from all over the country and I have other people that have the same things going on as me. She also thinks that it is cool that Josh shares his birthday with another person who we know but haven't met. She thought is was really nice that we gave each other birthday presents and we have never met.

Most of my friends know I am here all the time and don't really care.

I keep coming across this issue, particularly with health stuff lately because the only people (bar my aunt, who I've seen about 3 times since my marriage 5 yrs ago) who I know with gluten intolerance are on OB. And I know one person IRL struggling with endo (which my dr first thought I had), and now Mummy_Becks, but everyone else is on here.

So my dr asks how I'm getting on with sorting out what products have gluten in them, and I say that I've been asking "a friend of mine who is coeliac" all my questions and miss out the "that I've never met except on an online forum" part!!


At other times when I talk about friends who get pg on the IUD or have twins etc, I refer to them as "a friend of a friend" so I don't sound corny having not ever seen/met them!

Do you quote your OB friends?]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:33:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17925&PID=403720&title=do-you-quote-your-ob-friends#403720
