To be mildly hurt that I've either been mistaken for another poster or do be considered such a tool I don't even have to post on a thread to piss people off

I was looking for an older thread so did a vanity search with a couple of key words and found my name mentioned on a thread I hadn't even posted on!Shock

Being large of ego I had a nosey. And they were saying I was overly dramatic (which is true but not the point) and a bit off and told to get help.

I never even posted on the bloody thread. I can't find anyone with a similar name to me on there Confused

My character has been impuned, maligned etc etc

I'm actually upsetting people even when I'm not on bloody Mumsnet. Do I piss you all of that much?

Grin

I have a friend whose 3 yo DD was infamous for stripping and assuming that pose (known as 'star fishing') at the blink of an eye.
She had to be trained as to the error of her ways before she started nursery. She famously once did it in the dentist's waiting room.... Shock

UrsulaPandress · 28/06/2017 20:09

What's star fishing?

HoneyDragon · 28/06/2017 20:10

My old neighbour across the road used to call my ds Micky Dave in honour of Michaelangelo's, David.

It took some time to stop him stripping off and standing in the window to terrorise innocent passers buy.

Star fishing = what yer girl dogs are doing (just minus the tail on account of being human)

Micky Dave sounds quite cool Grin

Can always rely on cats to raise the tone. Ignores the, er, thoroughness of feline grooming habits...

Oh, yes, my cats like tummyrubs. They also run to the door when I come home. They refuse to Cat by lazy stereotypes...

Does your arm not go dead when your dog sleeps there? Blond!cat is fond of sleeping like that & it is a killer, snugglesome as it is... but that might be my craptacular joints 🤔

Serial lurker but lost my mojo recently as all the regular favourite posters had fone AWOL - welcome back HoneyDragon, MaryZ, Pag, Pacific, Mrs DV - nothing more to add

LAK11 · 28/06/2017 21:22

gone, not fone! FFS

Soubriquet · 28/06/2017 21:26

No not really.. but she's smaller than my cat so that could be why

I've always thought star fishing was what babies did. You know when they sleep with their arms up high, and legs wide open to take up as much room as possible

Ekphrasis · 28/06/2017 21:49

Maryz!
I haven't been on for some time, pop back in and whaddya know? I actually checked the date of the thread several times in case it was a zombie. Gin
Welcome back. Don't bugger off again please.

ChippingIn · 28/06/2017 23:54

HoneyDragon - I was getting ready to defend you to the moon & back, but I see the issue has been resolved 😊

I miss the old days, I want a time machine to go back to when all the fields were green around here.

I almost flounced the other day after being 'told off' by MN. [Apparently my 'tone' has upset a few people - namely goady fuckers Hmm, but apparently it's ok to be a goady fucker, but not ok to tell them to pack it in. Deep sigh.]. Anyway, my point being...I didn't because of people like you, Pag, Pacific, other long time poster friends & newer friends. I will NOT let these goady fucking fuckers win.

It would be nice if MN didn't seem to think they should either...

ChippingIn · 28/06/2017 23:57

Errol. Where did you leave his legs?!

ErrolTheDragon · 29/06/2017 00:23

Up a mountain or on a 20km walk, maybe.

Chippingin · 29/06/2017 00:27

🤣

Well, if I find them I'll let you know!

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 29/06/2017 08:40

Hello Chipping!

My girl upside down. In the first one she's either waving or practising her backstroke, not sure which.

Oh that "tone" bollocks pisses me off, Chipping. Surely "tone" is subjective to the reader?

OP posts:
Soubriquet · 29/06/2017 10:55

Im offended by your tone honey

Ok I'll come back now

genna1310 · 29/06/2017 10:55

You have to look at forums like the play ground in schools.....
We are all women it's in our nature to bitch and bring each other day shame really!

Just stick middle finger up and carry on f* what other people say

SerfTerf · 29/06/2017 10:58

Jeez. It's a veritable sea of animal undercarriage. You need a trigger warning.

Hmm Please tell me you're being ironic?
