I know what you mean--it sounds sketch when I say that out loud to people but they just can't understand the greatness of HB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-tell-people-about-something-you-read-on-hellobee#post-375602 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:14:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 375602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either "I read about..." or "I heard about" or 'know someone who...' Most people know I'm kind of crazy with researching random stuff on the internet anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-tell-people-about-something-you-read-on-hellobee#post-375598 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:12:34 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 375598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, sometimes I do make comments like "someone told me" or I'll reference the message board (but I call it a community). I feel like sometimes people don't take things seriously if you got it from the Internet instead of in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-tell-people-about-something-you-read-on-hellobee#post-375591 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:09:45 +0000 Mrs. Blue 375591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless I"m talking to DH or my mom (who both know about my HB involvement), I always say, "A friend told me . . ." or "Someone I was talking to said . . ." It doesn't seem adequate to say, "I read on a website . . ." since I feel like I know everyone here. </p> <p>Howdo you word it when you say when you tell someone about something from Hellobee? </p>
