Do you tell your friends and family about SO? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 07-16-2003, 01:03 AM

I don't. The only person I tell is my husband. I'm a private person by nature, and this is my hideaway.
I'm not a liar, but suppose I told a friend I couldn't get together because I had other plans or something--well that friend could tell I was home if I posted here that day.
Suppose I don't feel like answering the phone....situations like that. I don't like anyone having the ability to monitor my whereabouts.
Am I the only one who feels this way?

Small Wonderian · 07-16-2003, 01:09 AM

So far, I have only told my mom and dad.....they basically don't really want to know what goes on in here so I basically have complete privacy when here at SO.

onefortheroad · 07-16-2003, 01:10 AM

your not alone, i dont tell any of my friends about it either

Adamantium · 07-16-2003, 01:10 AM

I tell some of my co-workers. But none of them care enough about sitcoms to actually come here. I didn't tell any of them about the Chit Chat section.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 07-16-2003, 01:17 AM

2 of my friends come here...It's not a big deal cuz all my friends know im a little on the strange side anyways.

And my parents...yes they know cuz they wonder occasionally where the mail from MA and other places come from...as well as phone calls. My dad occasionally asks me how many posts I have and what place I'm in...lol cuz he thinks im a moron too.

Georgia's on my Mind · 07-16-2003, 01:20 AM

my mom...she thought it was insane...i dont mention it anymore....and thats it.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 07-16-2003, 01:30 AM

I have told my parents and a few friends about SO.

vienna waits · 07-16-2003, 02:15 AM

Heck no. I'm surprised that they havent wondered why I'm always at this website though.

dawsongirl · 07-16-2003, 02:58 AM

My folks know. My dad doesn't really get the internet, and I showed my mom once, but she'd never come here.

Tuesday Weld · 07-16-2003, 03:06 AM

I haven't told anyone and I think it should stay that way.Not insulting SO,But if people know I come here all the time,they'll think I'm

Anyway,this place rocks!!

TJL · 07-16-2003, 05:32 AM

My family know I post on some "sitcoms board" because they know I enjoy talking about TV, but that's pretty much it.

As for the Hawkeye quotes and Avatar, that's our little secret...

So is this:

BrandonS · 07-16-2003, 05:51 AM

I've told a few family and friends. When I mention it, it's always because I want to make some point about it, but invariably, the person I try to tell about it is bored to tears and shows no interest at all.

*Melissa* · 07-16-2003, 09:31 AM

I've mentioned it to my mom, but my friends wouldn't really care so I don't tell them about it.

I Dream of Jeannie · 07-16-2003, 09:33 AM

Well, my parents know I go here, though I'd NEVER let them see my siggy because I usually have pictures of Jarlena making out. lol. My friends all know, they all come here too, Hannah was the first one to join then I joined so we could talk about IDOJ and stuff, well then Leah joined and Jennifer joined though Jennifer doesn't post much, Amanda doesn't have the internet or she'd join too. Well, now that I've told my life story I'll shut-up.
