to ask why is it frowned upon to remember things some posters' say

[fluckered]

without actually doing a search, why is it not ok to perhaps ask a poster who previously posted for example "I have twin boys both starting school son" who then asks for advice on how to adopt for example as they don't have children .... "hang on a second, I thought you said last week you have twin boys". why is this frowned upon? people are accused of doing advanced searches when some people actually have a good memory or remember a thread as it resounded more for them than others ... and are asked "eh, what has that to do with this thread". am genuinely asking. wouldn't be for someone following a poster around and tearing shite out of everything they post ... but why cant a poster's posting history be questioned if there are obvious inconsistencies?!

Fry I don't like white chocolate, unfortunately.

White chocolate isn't actually chocolate at all, BTW.

And that's very true, Maryz. You might want to mention sex toys to her though.

Tee I know it's not chocolate, I think it's made with cocoa butter rather than cocoa solids.

littlemiss shame, thought it might be one possible answer.

honeydragon shame about the fire, I think ours is still in the house we moved from, I remember it really worked well despite advancing years

I find this quite interesting. I know that (as Maryz said) i post when i feel despair at a situation. My feelings can cloud the way i describe things (not the facts) but the way they make me feel. Also there is tone which is missing, i think my tone is coming across but sometimes it really isn't and people think i am more upset than i am. I suppose i use too much emotive language.

Also my opinions have changed on a lot of things so i can contradict myself from things i said 4 years ago.

I was accused of being a troll when first on here, i had never even heard of trolls so genuinely said 'what's a troll' (mn is the only forum i have ever used and i know very little about cyber etiquette). So of course i looked even more like a troll . My life can be very 'soap opera' so i can see why i look trollish.

Another thing is drip feeding. I get accused of that too. For me i don't like posting long OPs for 2 reasons, 1) as i think no one will be that interested to read a long winded post and then if they are they will ask and 2) I never really know what people will think relevant, so again i think they will ask, and i'm happy to answer any questions honestly. I must say i think my pet hate is people posting 'drip drip drip' and therefore i remember their NN and scrawl it with a compass on a tile i keep face down in the kitchen, i call it my tile of hate and dance on it to 80s electro pop...

Oh and i love picnics, double deckers are fucking disgusting tho

Exactly, Fry.

But it's easier to just say "white choc" as everyone knows what you mean, then

I must kick myself off MN for now, time to get dinner ready. I persuaded DP to take the kids to the cinema for the 5pm show, so have had a rare bit of peace during the school hols. Hurrah for DP!

Maryz lol I sometimes regret my choice of user name, it often puts the idea of eating cake in my head and I lack willpower these days? I presume you are Irish?

I had someone disagree with one of my threads/opinions and trawl through my history to find something to torment me with, they eventually started harassing me about something I had posted that my MIL had said to me that'd aggravated me and tried to twist things and pretended that I'd said it! Odd

Never a truer words said Maryz

I'm reasonably forward-thinking when it comes to butter. This time of year you only have to leave it out for 20 minutes, but in winter you have to do it for an hour.

Top tip - in a sandwich emergency you can pour boiling water into a Pyrex bowl, leave it for a minute and then tip it out and up-end it over the butter until it goes soft enough to spread.

Chocolate in the fridge is wrong. It breaks your teeth and doesn't taste of anything.

A friend gave me a huge Lindt Easter egg and a little tribe of bunnies. I haven't eaten them yet and now I'm not going to until next month at least because they'll be soft and horrible.

None of the above is made up. I do wonder about people who make things up.

I remember nothing.
I love Double Deckers, you are all freaks.
And I keep all my chocolate in the freezer.

Oh shush Coco, you keep phablets up yer Vag

What on earth is a phablet?!?!?!

American Milky Way bars, which are different to UK Milky Way bars, belong in the freezer. Fact.

It's a very big phone Tee.

Okay.

Erm, I'm not inferring coco has a huge fanjo either.

Just one big enough for her Phone.

Sometimes I might change elements of my life in a thread or op just because I am slightly paranoid: if I stick to all the facts would I be recognised from my collection of posts? I don't do it to deceive or start a bunfight.
I also namechange every now and then for the same reasons, I thought lots of people practiced these?

Oh but I do Honey .
If you listen really carefully you can hear the wind howling around it.

Ohhh Tee you can get US Milky Ways in Ards! They are lush.

Thinking of that thread where honeydragon confessed that she had immaced her baby never fails to cheer me up.

Slightly depressed that after 6 years on mumsnet the one thing I am remembered for is being the twat with the sheets.

I envy you your Easter egg limited.

I always like punching fuck out of Easter eggs. Or launching them at the wall to smash them. I remember stealing a big chocolate bunny from dd when I was hungover and smashing its face on a door frame.

I am not as sociopathic as that post makes me sound, btw,
