Do you speak off line on things that you write here?

I just wrote a post on vegetable puffs and cannot imagine calling up my niece and tell her that I had vegetable puffs for breakfast. She would go crazy and tell me that I pulled her out of whatever she was doing just to hear me tell her that. 
Most of what I say here I never share with my off line contacts. Imagine me calling out to my neighbour across the gate and tel her I had vegetable puffs for breakfast.
What about you?

I share a lot of stuff here that I share with my friend, Mary. We have known each other since we were 6 and both retired. We haven't talked more than 2 hours here lately. We use to talk 3 or more hours atleast once a week.

Good that your friend Mary would be interested to know , for example, what you had for breakfast which is an important topic discussed here. My folks would never want to know that and surely not a topic of conversation

@Ghostlady Talking about recipes is different from telling your friends what you ate

@allknowing Here in the Southern USA ladies want to know what's for dinner. We talk about it because my friend might have a different way of fixing what I fixed the night before. I talk with other friends about recipes and what we had for dinner. Makes for a good conversation.

If what we write is spoken off line it will not be of interest to any one

What we talk about here is so different from what we normally share off line

Did you show your son the image of the vegetable puffs I had for breakfast?

The only person I might share what I write here is my daughter but I have had conversations with offline people about what I've read here. I've learned so many things that some I felt worthy to share.

Learning here and sharing that off line I suppose is what many do, including me.

I know what you mean ….but I guess most people on here use the site to talk about their day, including what they have eaten, and also to have a rant about things …..

@allknowing I hadn’t thought about this before, but you’re correct. I wonder why we think it’s ok to write such things here and offer them to the world, things we think aren’t big enough to talk about out loud.
