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?

I once had an owl
In my chimney cowl

Redsippycup · 29/06/2017 23:16

Wolfie I just woke up DP laughing at that Grin

I slept through most of this afternoon after getting back from ballet (because going to ballet every day this week is a GENIUS plan after having done a handful of classes since coming back in May after over 2 months off... & having all last week off... but it's my teacher's last week before she goes away for the summer...) & have just startled my brother by giggling out loud as I read this. He was working downstairs & thought I was still asleep then suddenly heard what sounded like a child laughing from up here. Oops? Blush

I am a bit sad about lack of Exciting Wildlife here. I could claim to see a falcon on a weekly basis, but that would be rather dramatic bending of the truth with the bit where that is the name the Guide who helps with my Brownies has chosen for herself. I did once see a hedgehog family, but I was about 8 at the time - they went trundling through the garden one lunchtime. We get a LOT of foxes though. The back garden is some kind of canidaen social-club/town-square/other hub & they bring Thoughtful Gifts. The very full nappy was a particular low point, it must be said Envy (very. much. not. envy.)

But I should be returning to sleep. It tends to help if I can string together an actual sentence when I see my GP. Though if I try using mime/interpretive dance I'd at least give her a giggle. But I get to go back to pain relief that actually works, which is quite exciting. Having pointed out to the opiate clinic that it's all very well having a better side-effect profile, but if it doesn't actually kill the pain, buprenorphine is perhaps not, in fact, winning in the risk-benefit analysis. (Is annoying as am pretty sure it's due to the weirdy patch design. Of weirdyness. And scarring. Something else the opiate clinic seemed to think wasn't an actual issue Hmm Well tbf it's not them that's having to live with any of it 🙄) But yes, effective pain relief, that's a VERY exciting prospect. Between that & new drug from cardiology soon I shall be UNSTOPPABLE. Bwahahaha! Hem. Yes. Er. Bedtime...

My dog has at last upside-downed.

Just taken about an hour to read all this thread but am thrilled to see maryz back, and to discover who bran is now!

babybarrister - anyone calling troll on you is clearly a troll themselves

And as for squirrels down a chimney, well I had a visiting possum come down mine, while I was watching, bold little shit! I heard it scrabbling, lit up my phone torch and shone it on the fireplace and it STILL came down and looked at me! then went behind the metal fire box bit into the brick space, so I had to actually light a small fire to encourage it back up the chimney. Bloody thing! still it answered the question of how they got into the house (not the first time one's been in) and proved that my chimney isn't all that sooty, as there was no soot scattered around. Small mercies.

Honey - you iz da bomb and would never be mean to anyone unnecessarily. Except spiders. WinkGrin

Who was it who used to create works of art using characters & emoticons? Tinsel?

PerkingFaintly · 30/06/2017 10:29

'Tis TalcAndTurnips who is the queen of emoticon art.

And where the hell is she, seein' as how this is such a lovely, huggy dog-genital-ridden reunion?

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 30/06/2017 10:48

TalcandTurnips. THAT was it.

TheNiffler · 30/06/2017 11:59

Hedgehogs smell absolutely rank. Wild ones anyway. Easily the stinkiest animal I've ever cared for.

UrsulaPandress · 30/06/2017 12:06

And Tantrums. Where is she?

PacificDogwod · 30/06/2017 12:15

I clearly have never been close enough to a hedgehog to appreciate their aroma Grin

I only have dog farts to contend with... our wall paper is peeling off the wall as I type Hmm

GOing ok thanks Mary - in the UK visiting folks at the moment!

That doesn't sound at ALL right re. your mum - have they checked her inflammatory markers? They need to do blood tests, she shouldn't have disintegrated that quickly! Shock

My closest encounter with a hedgehog was when I was a very drunk student, walking home from the pub with a friend in the rain. It was on a driveway, and I thought "Oh no, it will get run over, I must move it onto the grass" (I was VERY drunk). It obviously recognised that I posed it no threat, as it let me pick it up, didn't even roll into a ball, and move it safely onto the lawn. Can't say I noticed the smell, but then, pickled. Grin

Soubriquet · 30/06/2017 16:24

It's very potent... but its their poo that smells..not that any are particularly fragrant anyway Grin

HoneyDragon · 30/06/2017 16:26

Is there anything better than eating your tea and mnetting? Cos I don't think there is

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 30/06/2017 16:35

Let's make the Maryz's Plughole topic very cosy & comfy, then hopefully she'll stay.

Drank Sangria's from Perfect Day isn't it?

HoneyDragon · 30/06/2017 16:35
