I did it today. Twice. Made me feel like a boring old fart!

I have the same problem. I tend to kill threads or get ignored . I'm new so feel like I should maybe just go away & bore my poor DH instead! I'm sure you're not boring.

I feel boring! It amazes me that the MNers recognise so many other people.
Don't go away - maybe its always like this at the start!

Maybe you'd uttered the mot juste which no-one could follow?

Marthasmama · 13/01/2009 20:55

Yes and it's all so cliquey! I will stick around, it's hard work though. Feel like you have to 'make your bones' as it were!

Marthasmama · 13/01/2009 21:18

Oh dear. I must be a real loser! I killed the thread about killing threads.

girlandboy · 13/01/2009 21:19

No, not quite! We're still here.

Here - I'll be your wingmanperson

Marthasmama · 13/01/2009 21:21

Phew!

Lionstar · 13/01/2009 21:32

Got you covered buddy!

girlandboy · 13/01/2009 21:32

Marthasmama - no, don't do it. Don't get the last word in! Let me do it for you!

noonki · 13/01/2009 21:32

I had six dead threads in a row once, that surely is a record!

hello marthasmama, Don't worry about ignored just be chuffed if someone notices you! (unless they are all shouting at you- unless that floats your boat!)

bronze · 13/01/2009 21:33

I'm always killing threads
I try to remind myself there are millions of threads and if I kill a few its only a small percentage

girlandboy · 13/01/2009 21:37

Actually, I think I've just killed two more!

Marthasmama · 13/01/2009 21:40

Thanks noonki and girlandboy, I feel rude if I don't reply....oh no!

noonki · 13/01/2009 21:49

Marthasmama · 13/01/2009 22:05

I think I've just killed another one.... Yay!

bronze · 13/01/2009 22:26

Marthasmama · 13/01/2009 22:30

Heh heh, One of the other ones I thought had died have come back to life. I don't mind if I kill this one as you've all been so lovely.

Monkeyblue · 13/01/2009 22:33

I am good at it

THINK "shit I must be boring"

fryalot · 13/01/2009 22:35

I can't switch the computer off until I look at "threads I'm on" and every single one of them has me as the last poster.

Which means I have to either be very boring or type reeeeeally quickly.

This is going to end up in a stubbon battle of who can stay up the longest! I have a three month old who is actually asleep so I really should get some sleep too! Good luck, I'm off to bed!

fryalot · 13/01/2009 22:39

yep, and then when I see that I am the last poster (sometimes I'm hitting the refresh button for quite a while!) I get all uppity and think "no bugger want to talk to me!"

Marthasmama · 13/01/2009 22:39
