Would it be a total faux pas to do this on mn?

We don't hug and we don't hun, right? I think I've got that, spesh from the nm vs mn debate.
But there are a couple of posters in the last few days that I've noticed and I've thought- bloody good point and I like the sound of you.

Do we pm each other and strike up friendships? Or is that way too weird and stalkery and I should without doubt desist?

that Susan poster was "WashWithCare" (amongst other disguises)

caused a lot of upset at the time

Whiskwarrior · 17/08/2015 13:41

Oh, Zing!

That dress! Zinglette! I love it!

Exclamation mark overload!!!

Whiskwarrior · 17/08/2015 13:42

Washwithcare must be before my time. But I can well imagine.

It takes a particularly sad kind of individual to troll a website.

Quietlifenotonyournelly · 17/08/2015 13:45

Awe love the cute dress and cheeky cute Zinglette . Are they crocheted squares ?

MiscellaneousAssortment · 17/08/2015 13:46

Ha! Zing you are all about the unicorns :)

(She says in reference to another thread but in a nice non stalkery way, honest!)

Seconding having met a very good friend on a similar messageboard (very large age range, mainly women). I can't see why not. Agree with best not to expect anything back, though. I take that tack with responding to an OP with personal experience, too.

Cheered

Quietlifenotonyournelly · 17/08/2015 14:15

I was shown by my GM how to crochet years ago but can't do it now lack of practice and I'm so bad at knitting, the last time I tried knitting a pair of bootees the first one looked like a weird bent willy warmer. Needless to say, I don't bother now. Blush
Nice work Zing

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 17/08/2015 14:16

Grin @ willy warmer!

I can't knit but find crochet dead easy.
good tutorials from Lucy at Attic24 - look on Pinterest. you'll pick it up in no time

Quietlifenotonyournelly · 17/08/2015 14:19

I will have to have a look at those. Smile

TwartFaceBeetj · 17/08/2015 14:23

freeble there was a thread about finding friends and meeting up recently. I see if I can find it (or not if anyone else can find it) because I can't remember what the title was. You might have a better chance of finding someone local on it, as I garther a lot of the mnlocal boards have tumble weed in.

TwartFaceBeetj · 17/08/2015 14:30

Found it

I have made friends on here but only know them on board if that makes sense :)

PMing is something I use when I want to say something without it being public on a thread.

they only dared because I wasn't here to swear at them viciously in Hungarian.
but I'm here now, I hope you feel safer DixieWink

Welshmaenad · 17/08/2015 15:25

I e recently made my first off-board MN friend. Very pleased with her I am too.

I'm open to more. I think I'm softening in my old age.
