Hullo - anybody as old as time (like I am) and remembers me?

[Pacif1cDogwood]

Sorry, v needy fred.

I last posted about 5 years ago to ask for advice on how to screenshot a v explicit message that accidentally ended up on DS’s iPad and which, long but v predictable story short, led to STBXH and I splitting up.
Still not divorced .

So, howzit been here meantime?

I remember you!
Ive name changed a few times over the years though. 5 years?!

I remember you, we were at a meet up together and your mum was there! Nice to have you back x

@Pacif1cDogwood

I remember you very well - can't believe it's been five years. How lovely to see you again.

I still have your "I have fallen in love with Mallorca " thread on my watch list as I've been meaning to go there ever since. Still haven't managed & it ain't going to be this year .

Hi Pacific
I used to love your posts
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years either especially as I’ve only been here for 7 or 8
I know it’s that long as I was on a dieting thread 18 months before I got married and it’s been 5 years next week.
Still the same name. Still the same old Dowser.
Hope you’re well, hope life is much better for you and you won’t be a stranger.

I remember you for sure, had a different user name for many years and been on here for about 15 years, then changed after the hacking incident. I’m a very different person now as had a total breakdown following the death of my DD.

Was back in the day when you recognised about 90% of posters on almost all threads.

5 years?
I remember you
mn still is generally great

I remember you from Hayday

I remember you Pacific I can't believe it was 5 years ago. I've got the memory of a goldfish but I remember you as a decent cove.

@YaasssQueen

I was trying to remember the other day who the poster was that was poached from us mere mortals by Justine and Carrie for the actual mumsnet company, and did the talk roundups- was it HullyGully? Or Aitch?

I see Xenia about occasionally, although not for a while to be fair.

And am eternally grateful for @Bikerunski, @Addictedtoharibo and @Peachy (Have tagged them in case they are still around!) They gave me fantastic advice and support when I had dreadful hyperemesis and was in and out of hospital for months on end.

MN is still fab, there's just more flotsam and jetsam in between the diamonds.

Hello! I just changed my name back - apparently had about 20 name changes since then for various sensitive subjects ha.

When was it ... 10 years ago? 12? I had hyperemesis with them all.. so glad we are not back there

I'm still in contact with @Aitch although not sure she is still on here. A lot has happened since then.

A LOT has happened since then... indeed.

It is so nice to 'see' so many old names, truly lovely

Many of you helped me through child rearing nonsense, but even more importantly kept me entertained and stimulated and, sometimes, challenged. There was/is a real sense of community here.

I am a FB Refusnik and only use Twitter passively; I don't really get all this 'sharing' of every brain fart (apologies to all of you who use social medja with skill and grace and benefit - it's just now for me).
I am devided on name changing or not - I quite like the idea of anonymity (I was once recognised on here - yikes!), but also get a warm glow from being recognised. Like I said, quite needy really....

I do love the clever seasonal name changes. I was never any good at that. Hmph.

Just having a break from re-siliconing the bathroom. What an absolute stinker of a job!!

Aww lots of old names here.

I dare not change my name. Mumsnet account is linked to a now defunct email address and I have no clue what my password is either.
It’s pure luck I still have this account!

Yes I remember you. I have left and rejoined under a different name now. I remember your name because the first thought that pops into my head is Oregon.

I remember you!

I remember you it's very shouty here now.

God tell me about it. Sometimes you ask an innocent question then it feels like a baseball bat coming at your head.

I remember you OP - think I also remember the thread!

I remember you, and lots of other names too! Welcome back.
It feels like a reunion. Only I haven't spent weeks trying to lose half a stone and agonise over which outfit to wear in order to balance between a semblence of " mature togetherness" and not being too "try hard" as my nieces would say.

I'm so glad you have a greyhound. I secretly follow lots of greyhound rescues on social meeedja. They're hilarious. Too many legs, prone to zoomies and sleep for hours. Such personalities. DH wants a GSH (big fat no), I love a greyhound.

Can I just humbly apologise for causing STBXH to accidentally shag another person for years. I take full responsibility for the group. Clearly, women talking online have power. Did he slip and fall repeatedly? Oh please tell me more about his innocence. What a wazzock.

Oh but I'm glad you're well. Totally relate to becoming more unreasonable. I just have no truck with nonsense anymore. My there there dear has morphed into buck the fuck up over the years.

@Frownette

God tell me about it. Sometimes you ask an innocent question then it feels like a baseball bat coming at your head.

Yes a lot of posters love the drama of taking you down

But that contingent has always existed. I think it is a low self esteem /feeling of powerlessness type if hobby.

Anyone remember that poor poster who had suffered such trauma that she couldn’t even say the word “rape” in the context of the crop?

Yes, I remember that. Long time ago!

@addictedtoharibo my middle boy has just turned 12 and I was def on the HG threads when pg with him, so yes about 12 years ago. Glad you are still about! You helped me through a very hard time, thank you so much

ShowofHands, I am not sure that I am able to accept your apology

Please find attached the most undignified photograph I have of DHound.
Beware: may contain dog porn.

😆

I remember you! And what a debonair and sophisticated boy you have there.
