I have some peas that I think I would just click with IRL. Others - meh. I also am a fan of ecards. We share them at work a lot.

Not only do I wonder how it would be to hang out with some of the Pea's on the board .... I read what they are having for dinner and secretly wish I was a friend being invited over for dinner!

There are several peas that I have had limited interaction with, but would still totally love to get to know them better or meet IRL. I wish a couple of them were my neighbors. It's sad, but many on here are much nicer and more open minded (or at least appear to be) than many people I interact with IRL.

I'm about 100 lbs heavier than my picture would lead you to believe, but I have several of those Procrastinator outfits that I wear everywhere I go, every day of the week. There's not much to know about me. I'm a nice person. That's enough.

There are a few peas that I really like the personas they have on the board. I feel like a stalker sometimes though. Same here! I have connected with a few peas on Facebook, and I am pretty sure they regret clicking that "accept friend request" button most days , haha! (looking at you, jerzeygirl , thatgirlintexas , cherrymoon )

I have an open door policy at my house for dinner. I am currently not working, so for my working friends (who are mostly single) there is a "come over any time you want and I will feed you" policy. I know how hard it is to work all day and be a single parent and I want to give my friends a night off when they want one-it's hard to be in charge and do everything all the time and it is nice to have someone take care of you for a change.

Anxiousmom - you are one Pea I would love to meet! Thanks for the open invite...I suspect not feasible given our individual locations. But what a wonderful friend you are to your working friends!

No, not really. I prefer the anonymity of the board. I think it's better not to over share. While there are some very nice peaple this place has a dark side.

I've been fortunate enough to meet a few local Refupeas and they are wonderful ladies I think that our involvement in this board proves that we have more in common than we think ... there are a lot of other Refupeas that I'd love to meet I'm assuming that everyone knows that I have an unhealthy obsession with reality TV I had no idea you have an obsession with reality TV. So do I. It is the best mind numbing way to end the day that I know of. Sadly, my husband has other options he likes better. Same here, but my husband thinks they are awful. Sometimes he pretends he is doing something else when Amazing Race is on, but I catch him looking at the TV. He'd never admit to that!

While I do agree with the others about the anonymity/dark side of the board, I would like to meet some refupeas! Especially the ones who like to walk the neighborhood. I have blackmail my family into walking with me and I'd like a walking buddy to encourage me to get my booty out the door! Can't find one of those in my neighborhood.

Of course! I don't know if we'd all hang around the board if there was no curiosity and interest. I like peas better than I like most people. That could be good or bad I guess. I mean do I know you enough or do I just not know you enough? Hahaha

I'm quiet and snarky IRL. I'm also pretty much invisible here and IRL.

I have met two peas in real life and they were both nice. I often think that in real life we would all get along because our unvarnished opinions would not be, well, unvarnished.
<- ETA in real life I have a nose, my eyebrows are less bushy, and my fur, ahem, skin is olive. My kids think I am grouchy and mean, the house sometimes looks like a trash can and as on Sesame Street everything is repeated many, many times.

OP I think the handclap pea with kid gloves was Kikinicole ? I miss her over here.
I often wonder what people are really like but as others have already said, I also quite like being able to fantasise like in a book!

I love being able to talk about such a large variety of things and realizing we have so much yet so little in common depending on what it is I know there is one pea that every once in a while I will notice I keep liking her posts yet we are almost polar opposites politically I like that here I can decide to engage or not engage in various topics (politics/guns/etc) depending on my mood or energy that day There are several peas that I enjoy chatting with and learning from. And there are peas that every once in a while make it into my IRL conversations.

anxiousmom you don't seem like a dork to me. I find that I usually agree with what you have to say.

I never really thought about if I could be friends with other Peas irl. I'm kinda "what you see is what you get" I'm not different irl than online period. I actually have no issues with others that don't follow my same views. I'm opened minded and like seeing things from other point of view. Recently there was one thread I had to stay away from because I knew I would say something others wouldn't like lol and honestly that's not going to change what they think so it's pointless.

Yes, I often wonder things too. Mostly things like "she would absolutely be my friend IRL". For example, there's 1 pea that I'm FB friends with. We don't really post on each other's wall, but I see her status updates and joke-type pics that she shares. I find we have the same sense of humor and love of wine But I don't want to seem too stalkerish to tell her how much I've noticed we have in common. I wonder if anyone ever thinks that about me? Pam I think you should tell that person! Hell, I post funny e-cards everyday and I love wine ... wanna be my FB friend? (Seriously!) Leanne, it was you that I was referring to. There have been so many times that you post something that I think "omg, that is totally my style of humor". And you love wine. And you have a dd that recently got her learner's permit (I think?). Me too. There've been a few other things that I can't think of off-hand, but I remember thinking at the time that we had similar thoughts or styles. Now I very much feel like a stalker. I think I'll drink some wine to ease that Pam

2. I'm not sure if she is still here. It was Nicole or something who was famous for handslaps. She always did *this*. Anyway, I thought she answered everything with kid gloves. I respect that, and wonder if she is like that in real life. I find it a great trait....JMO Yes Kristen is here (KikiNichole). I sometimes channel my inner-Kristen and do *this* for emphasis. I hope she doesn't mind haha!
