I think it's funny that so many of our DHs/SOs know about TwoPeas. My DH was honestly sad for me when I told him about the shutdown. He knew it was part of my daily routine.  Amy |

I don't know why, but for some reason I keep thinking of us as "regurgitated peas." That's pretty disgusting. Must have been something one of my kids said when we made the board hop, but it stuck with me.  |

I referred to us as the RefuPeas yesterday. DH's response was along the lines of  , but now that he knows, he knows. |

It has always surprised me how many people talk of the board outside of the board. I don't mention my membership to this board to anyone. I don't want people IRL knowing about my message board and I prefer to keep things very separate. Thus, it surprises me when others talk about sharing the board with their spouses or whatever. I would have expected more would be like me about the board rather than the other way around.

I'm the same as grinningcat. I have never used the term "two peas" or "the peas" to anyone in my life. Now and then I might say "on the message board I read" but my DH, family and friends would not know what twopeas is/was.

My sister knows about 2peas and refupeas but to anyone else I say the message board I go to. I'm always telling my sister things the peas said. She mentioned that she might join the board but I hope she doesn't I like that this is one thing I do that she doesn't. It made me sorry I mentioned it to her.

My DH refers to it as 'that message pea thing board or ask those girls on the pea thing board'... I still don't think he knows it's been shut down. Only my sister and pea friends know it as the pea board |

My husband is the only one who knows it as "TwoPeas" and expressed his condolences for the loss of our board when I told him. To others, I refer to it as "this forum I'm on" or something similar.

My dh made the transition from 2Peas to NewPeas. I still just call it ThePeas. I don't really say the name of the board when I talk about it to other people also, just to my family. I usually just say my online group with everyone else.
Moodyblue - I like the SplitPeas!

This is me. Only my DH knows about the actual site and even then he would say "you and your pea pod broads". There's zero danger of him ever wanting anything to do with us.  |

DH knows about my love for this place, but I don't think he knows my user name. He was as shocked as I was when 2Peas shut down.

This is me exactly! My husband knows I'm on the computer but I think he likes to imagine I'm watching porn or something... He would never understand the boards. |

In my case it's my SO, but same here. I don't remember the first thing I ever mentioned to him from the board, but it must have been a doozie because on the rare occasion that I mention the Peas it always elicits an eye-roll. |

When I'm laughing out loud, my DH will ask me what I'm reading. Apparently, do it all the time when reading (this or books/magazines/FB). At some point, he started asking me- is it the Peas? Me filling him in on some of what I'm reading is his version of online people-watching. It's interesting to him how we interact and get worked up about things. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

My husband and my mom's husband totally rolled their eyes when they found out the name. I think DH said something along the lines of "Oh, so persecuted..."
I told them to shut it. They have no idea how much they benefit from this place!

My daughter is the only one who knows Two Peas by name. I told her about what happened to the old site and she commented that she thought it was crazy. Then, a few days later, she asked me, "Hey, has anything happened with that Two Peas thing?" I was shocked!

DH knows about the board, the change, and I showed him my siggy pics when I finally figured out how to get them on here. His reaction, "Everyone just moved to a new board?" with kind of a mix of an eye roll about the name and surprise over the swift total migration. But if I mention anything to anyone else other than the 1 friend I invited after the switch, I usually just refer to it a s a message board I follow. I like to keep a little bit of division. The friend I invited I just met in the past year through school and is from a different town than me, so we don't have any common acquaintances. But I'm pretty much an open book IRL, so if anyone I knew popped up here and figured out who I was they wouldn't learn anything new.
ETA: Dh still just refers to it as 2 peas, but he enunciates it kind of funny, his voice always goes up on "peas" likes its a question. Which I guess it usually is - "Are you on 2peas?", "Where'd you hear that, 2peas?" I don't let him talk smack about the peas or anything.

I frequently read posts aloud to DH when I start snorting or giggling, and I've mentioned it to BFF (a male) as well, but I think they're the only ones who know of my addiction. When I'm on the computer, DH often asks "Are you working or peaing?" He understands me!

I've always talked about the peas with DH and I suspect it goes in one ear and out the other. I'm sure he could not find this board if he had to do so. Anyone else like coworkers, I just say this message board.
