Clearly too much larking, LaQueen. Grin

ScrambledSmegs · 05/10/2012 14:05

My school didn't do hockey. We had lacrosse. Our ankles were safe, but black eyes and broken noses a-plenty.

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 14:05

Even if they're mucking about in an offensive and annoying way? [confused again, shit]

tjah04 · 05/10/2012 14:05

Maybe everyone should put their number after their username.

Then we can really seperate the two...

But I have no idea what is being seperated.

I am miserable as fuck on lots of threads. I also try to post in as supportive way as possible, especially when the 'get a grip Hmm fuckers start in on a new op.

Tee2072 · 05/10/2012 14:06

Oh right, I knew I forgot something:

I am not a member of any MN secret group on FB except one for entrepreneurs which isn't really a secret and not really related to MN except we started here.

I have never ever ever ever in my nearly 4 years been PMed about a thread except the one that was mentioned on the previous thread to this one and that was by a friend, you know, someone I actually know in, you know, real life, I think it was, I can't remember, anyway no one has ever sent me a PM on here or FB or to my email telling me to come to a thread.

As Hully just said PO means you are offended by everything and everyone. If I said your puppy was cute you'd find a way to be offended.

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 14:07

Oh no Scrambled, please don't make me play lacrosse. Shock I promise I'll never lark again. Please, please, please.

Oh, I'm a member of a secret FB group. We don't talk about stuff on MN, or set off MN 'alerts'. We're merely a group of people who know far too much about each other's cervical mucus and sex lives...

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 14:10

That sounds like fun Scrambled sweet Jesus

Grin Actually we mostly talk about baking and crafty shit. But conception threads can get very detailed, so be warned!

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 14:14

Anyway, back to Magnolia. That is what this thread is about isn't it. fucking confused

I thought that PO stood for professionally offended?

I hate random accusations of bullying, it cheapens real bullying

I also hate magnolia

And I'm now imagining a larkers alert symbol lighting up the sky like the bat signal only it says :head tilt:

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 14:17

Excuse Me May, but what exactly is wrong with Magnolia?? What a cheap, nasty, offensive comment.

ScrambledSmegs · 05/10/2012 14:20

Personally I prefer F&B Off White.

It's bloody Magnolia, it is.

Jusfloatingby · 05/10/2012 14:22

What lovely taste you have Scrambled bloody snob

greenhill · 05/10/2012 14:23

If you only go in through a topic that interests you such as "baking" or "fishnet" you will encounter your own peer group as not everyone on MN makes cake (even if most of us eat it).

If you go in through "active conversations" or "most active" you will meet those of us that idle away our time (halfheartedly) doing something else in RL, whilst keeping one eye on the screen; some of us offer advice on stuff that we've already worked our way through or stick our oar in as no one else is listening (DS I mean you and the open packet of couscous...but ignores 1,000 pieces of plastic on sitting room floor as I don't know what to play with first either)

InvisibleHotPinkWeasel · 05/10/2012 14:25

I am menustrating like a fountain, I have a headache, donated blood last night and the dogs sat on the baby.

Can I not please just visit Mnet with people trying to drain the world of social niceties and pleasant exchanges.

DameAbsy · 05/10/2012 14:26

What happened?

I suppose I'm a larker. And yes, I agree with Le LaQueen that at any given time, there are a trillion threads going on MN. If you don't like the way a thread's going, bugger off! Start your own! Show some chutzpah! Show some initiative!

InvisibleHotPinkWeasel · 05/10/2012 14:26

Without, oh for fucks sake even my phone hates me. Sad
