Her profile has her full name on it, so can't. Shall I copy and paste the offending lines though?

LOL! Go on, post the rest.

What a terrible thing to stumble across though!

Well, it is just their names (as a couple although they are newly together), location, saying the rabbit was her favourite gadget, no age or numbers limit I do not know how I will face her after this, she portrays herself as a mourning widow (FIL recently passed away) and all this time she is getting frisky en mass!

an online profile on a site where her son talks to her so she knows he could access it any time?

does she also have a goat in the back garden to keep down the pampas grass?

I don't think she realised he knew how to see it. No goat, no! I thought you were suggesting it for other uses until I saw the bit about the pampas grass!

OP posts:
wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 13/02/2007 16:51

so is that you greeny?

Elasticwoman · 13/02/2007 16:54

We have pampas grass but don't swing! Can't think of anything less erotic or more embarrassing. (the swinging not the grass)

Victoria Wood said re keys: we put all our keys in the middle and I don't know who got my scooter but I drove that Peugeot for years!

DimpledThighs · 13/02/2007 17:14

swinglow - have you told your dh? What did he say?

SSShakeTheChi · 14/02/2007 08:27

I didn't get the bit about the car keys either

I must be so unworldly.

TBH I'm worried about the poor rabbits...

monkeymonkeymoomoo · 14/02/2007 08:36

Swingers put their car keys in a bowl and pick out another set, then sleep with whoevers set they pull out

SSShakeTheChi · 14/02/2007 08:43

oh ok
thanks

So they just go with whoever, whether they find that person attractive or not? Hmm not for me...

fizzbuzz · 14/02/2007 15:38

Don't think attractiveness goes into it does it? Not that I know, I must add hastily!!

Still don't understand rabbit, will someone explain pleeeese?

hana · 14/02/2007 15:45

a rabbit is a dildo fancy one from anne summers

fizzbuzz · 14/02/2007 15:46

Oh dear, me and my innocence

Slipperyslopin · 02/04/2013 22:04

Thought I'd bring this back by being very immature and giggling that before my comment, the number of posts was 69 Wink swinger thread in every way :)

aldiwhore · 02/04/2013 22:11

Have fun with this op... message her with "MUM??"

When you see her, huh her, laugh and laugh and laugh (making sure you don't leave your keys anywhere!) and then seriously tell her that this isn't for you at all. Be honest.

She needs to know her private life isn't as private as she thinks (she may not care), you need to find it funny that curiousity killed the cat!

Deal with this in the right way you and your MIL could actually become closer (as friends!) through this... so long as you're both honest. (and laugh with each other about it, take her for a coffee).

I am not a swinger, I am happily married and love HockingsVanilla. I also realise that some of parent age friends are still human and enjoy the ocassional sprinkles and flakes, I find it life affirming that although I crochet my mum's best friend, a grandmother, is a um, what's the word for a swinger when only one does it and the other goes fishing? (unbeknown to my mother).

blondieminx · 02/04/2013 22:20

My parents have pampas grass on their garden Shock eeeek!

TiggyD · 02/04/2013 22:46

She can have her own life. Good for her.

Best tell her to be a bit more discrete though.

SquinkiesRule · 02/04/2013 22:50

I've got visions of your MIL and FIL as that couple from Benidorm, Jacqueline and her husband.

ImperialBlether · 02/04/2013 23:17

But surely to christ she's not using her real name, is she?

WeAreEternal · 02/04/2013 23:22

Well that is something you never ever want a mental image of. [buconfused]
