Are you aware of the unwritten rules?
Never talk about buying your child a pink toy, unless your child is a boy. Then he absolutely must have something pink and preferably a princess dress to go with it.
Do not make any spelling or grammatical errors. Your OP will be ignored, no matter how important the question until you have accepted your flogging for using to many exclamation marks.
You must have a full understanding of every allergy possible, anything that can contain these allergens and exactly how to treat them.
You must be up to date in all correct terminology and how people may identify themselves, anything less and you are an intolerant bigot.
You will need to LTB within 24 hrs of your op, otherwise you are ignoring advice people have spent time giving you, not to mention damaging your children by not immediately running for the hills without a plan.
You must have enough savings for any possible emergency, otherwise you are irresponsible and should have planned better.
You must have an in depth knowledge of every physical and mental health problem possible and be aware of exactly how to manage each one and how it might affect someone's life.
If you get a flaming you must return to your thread within ten minutes otherwise you have flounced and are ignoring well meaning advice.
AIBU?

Been here a good couple of years and thought bold name was the norm (kind of like @ on twitter or tagging on FB ). Most of my posts were/are on gentle or functional miscarriage /pregnancy/baby questions ... flabbergasted!
Has there Bettercallsaul1/ Bettercallsaul1? What was the outcome? 
There's been a full and frank discussion of this (bolding names) on another thread, Sparkling , or should I say Sparkling.
Bolding names I quite like as a highlighting method. I have an irrational hatred for people who write things like @SAHD63 - it's not twitter 
You can change to one without a number but there are too many names already in use so you have to be creative to find one. It is much harder now - I registered my name about five years ago.
Because Hexiegone, I mean Hexiegone, apparently it means... Ooh, wait I see what you did there...
That sheep thread is like a black hole and is sucking in people who I thought would know better. The OP must be as happy as a non-chased lamb right now!
Salmotrutta
You are right of course, it was just your thread that mentioned fizzy, furry ketchup and for that I apologise. You are, however, still wrong about storing ketchup outside the fridge... That said, I am about to empty my fridge of ketchup, eggs, butter, milk, cheese, fruit, meat, vegetables and everything else non-alcohol related and replace with something fizzy because of a rule I was not aware of.
New rule to be aware of before you post: putting posters names in bold when replying to them is rude...
Slowtrain2dawn Congrats on the name change, commiserations on the bold fail but be comforted by the fact that it was not a fail after all! Sorry for being rude...

If you get on the bus on crutches with 2 broken legs and your 8 months pregnant don't you dare start a thread complaining that the perfectly healthy looking person sitting on the priority seat wouldn't stand up and give you the seat. They will definitely have some disability that you can't see and you are a disgrace for even asking them! 
So traumatised at my uncool nn I tried to change it to one with no number but MN wouldn't let me! So I am doomed. Bet I just broke another rule by name changing mid thread.
Waves at SAHD63! ( why isn't it bold? Another MN fail)
