I'm not superstitious

But just in case I decide to be after I write this post, I'll be careful with how I state things...

A little someone who's name is almost 'smile' has been doing something rather refreshing in his bed for the number between 5 and 7 hours for three nights in a row now.
Get it?
Shhh! Don't tell him!
I'm not claiming victory YET, but I'm almost ready to break out the glasses for a celebration toast!

I'd like to hear some of your internet friendship stories!
When I was pregnant with Logan I met an amazing group of women. At the time of pregnancy and birth there were definitely over 100 in our group.
3 1/2-4 yrs later there are about 20 of us, give or take, who still 'talk' on a VERY regular basis. We have formed our own private message board and I go there every day. I've gone through a pregnancy with them and went on to see many more babies being born in our group. I've seen happy times and sad times and wouldn't trade our friendships for the world!
One special friendship that has formed out of that group is someone that I will no doubt grow old with. It is one of those special friendships where you would give anything to that friend emotionally.
Don't get me wrong, there has been issues with these friends at times, but hey! A group of women will ALWAYS have issues, right?!
When I started blogging so long ago I was introduced to a whole new set of 'friends'. Not really FRIENDS though, more like 'friend crushes'. They probably didn't even know I was around. I read their lives, cheered them on, cried with them, and was proud to know them.
I was then introduced to a whole new set of blogger friends. I couldn't imagine not having them post on my blog and not read and posting on their blog.
The internet is such a great way to find support in ANY situation that arises!
I've found pregnancy support, miscarriage support, infertility support, clomid support, HELLP and pre-eclampsia support, lack of sleep support...The list goes on and on!
My sister met her current (and longest) relationship online. I have no doubt that they will get married in the future.
I wonder what people once did BEFORE the internet for support.
I know noone personally in my REAL life who has gone through a loss, infertility AND HELLP...not a single one! Yet online I know too many to count!

Have you met someone online that you wouldn't have met otherwise and wound up being the best of friends? Tell me about it!

Have you met someone online that you THOUGHT you would be the best of friends with only to find out that person was not at all what they portrayed?

Have you gone to MEET IN PERSON a complete internet stranger ever?
Would you, given the chance?
If you have, what was it like?

Do you have an internet friend that you would love to meet?
Do you have an internet friend that you are scared to meet? (as in you're happy its just internet related...no more!)

Do you have an internet stalker or other scary story!
SHARE! :)
