[thanks] ( sensitive) should MN change the wording to flowers

[HadABadDay2014]

I may be the only one that thinks that the wording is wrong.

If someone post about abuse, miscarriage r baby loss and you do this there is nothing to say thanks for.

Of course if you get good advice it appropriate but on sensitive issues I really don't think it's appropriate to say thanks.

I thought you could get it from already?

Yes you can I wrote [ flowers ] above not [ thanks ]

Didn't realise.

I'm always MN on my phone, and the list below only says thanks

Weren't the flowers because of woolly hugs and saying thank you to someone?

I know what you mean though, it's like liking a negative fb status as a show of support.

It's easy to change the meaning in your head though.

Just did a screen shot

Perhaps it is just my issue.

And the context of your post should show that you don't mean thanks.

is usually used to mean something barftastic rather than envy.

It's the same as my smiley list, it doesn't list the either.

[bears] googled it lol

I've been insidiously petitioning for [vom] for yeeeeears

If you have you have to have a [vom] emoticon, it's odd not to.

If only you were Queen of MN cafecito.

Indeed,

It hasn't been a sustained campaign, but has been ongoing since its inception, with variable flounce in the mid campaign lull, a good 6+ years I'd say

... I've hit a glass ceiling...

hmphf

[vom]

I would not want a moving depiction; nor a pile of residual vom... merely a face depicting the oft required [bleerrhhh], like the little green dude, but with [vom] coded (and maybe bashfulness or wine stainage)

As many women in fact physiologically vom in labour and birth, and babies incessantly do this too, has mumsnet moved on from mums? etc
are we no longer the target demographic?

Indeed I m not certain vom could be overtly more offensive than other items - and look

vom vom

1!1!
ALIEN/vampire REINDEER, with scope for FOX

^ please ignore my proposal models. They were brilliant. MN are thwarting me again. mwaahaahhaaa I'll be back

I'm not quite sure what you're on talking about cafe, but I'm sure you're right

I'm pretty squeamish but not about being sick or seeing someone chucking up, lots of people are though, maybe that's why HQ hasn't prised your Very Good Idea out of your hands and run with it cafe?

Some people don't even like seeing it written down, and lots don't like the word vom or barf.

I like, but never use, the word chunder, I put it on par with my affection for muppet, numpty and shreddies (for kegs).

I've just read my post again, and not only do I have no recollection of it, I am totally confused by REINDEER

er, fine line.. genius and madness// etc

Hahahaha definitely swaying towards genius cafe

Your day will come.

mwahaha

little finger raised to corner of mouth

ALIEN CAT

I'm sure the alien reindeer film genre is just ripe for the taking

you're a genius too

or are you mad?

tim burton, pixar, Rudolph alien glowing, santa saucer, vomiting from the sky,

yeaaaahh

And one little girl who won't get her presents delivered unless the alien cat puts a stake through the reindeer's heart - blood splattering Santa (who has never been so glad to have a red coat so it doesn't show up).

Actually you can type flowers in [] and get the same icon.

I like giving new mum's and babies [ flowers ] and a teddy [ bear ] and

I type thanks as didn't know I could get the bouquet through typing flowers.

Actually that definitely didn't used to be true -- if you typed flowers, you'd just get the word flowers in brackets.

But isn't it obvious from context that when someone puts a bouquet up they are being nice, but not necessarily saying thank you? I think what's happening is that posters on here also want to show sympathy, encouragement, friendliness, sorrow, celebration, understanding, etc., so they offer the flowers. Just as we use bouquets in real life in fact!

What I would like is if we had more choices of bouquet. I would like to be discerning. Daffodils for you. Pansies for you. Stinkweed for you
