I would say ML, or Married Life.
Id be embarrassed though, because even though we've been here so long, I still don't know the real first name of many people and I'd have to use screen names.
Of course, some people would say, "Hey! His!" , to me, so I guess it all evens out.
For reason, I just assume everyone knows my real name.
If I had to ask someone IRL if they were on the board I think I'd borrow a page from AA. They ask if you are a friend of Bill. I'd ask if you were a friend of Kevin Arnold.
ETA: If I met someone I thought was on the board IRL, I would probably ask some sort of board related screening question like "Did you hear what Lucy did to her dog?" or "who disappears in the hedge in the best GIF ever?" or "what is the tracking number?" or "can you give me your Instagram name?"
If any of you ever approaches me in public and says "Hi I'm So-and-So from TN/GBCN/ML/Goodbaquon (LOL)I'm going to give you the most vacant stare until you start to feel uncomfortable and then I am going to yell
Now I'm trying to remember what the hell I said to meggers5 when I bumped into her.
Probably: Meggers! I'm aprilsails! From Married Life.
And then I grabbed her hand and began to gush over her engagement.
It was probably terribly awkward for meggers5.
Haha I think it went something like this:
Me at work: Hi ladies, anything I can help you out with today?
You: Hi! You're meggers and you just got engaged *looks at ring*
Lol I don't actually think you said where you were from. The name gave it away though. I'm glad you said hi! It wasn't awkward. And really, if I'm going to tell people my name, where I work and what I look like, I should just be thankful it was you who saw me and not someone crazy
