Name changed for obvious reasons - ie avoidance of cyber bullies whilst expressing my true feelings on this. I was a lurker for quite a while, summed up the courage to post thinking that I had some good things to share and could be of help where appropriate. I think some of the threads are genuinely helpful and a great idea. However, I feel that some of them - probably this one included - is really a complete waste of time and energy. It seems to me that there are an awful lot of MNers who have nothing better to do than spend hours typing endless crap on these threads. Don't you have any "real life" friends to talk to?? Wouldn't you be better spending your life in the real world rather than exchanging endless ridiculous tittle tattle with one another? What are your kids doing whilst you spend hours on the computer?? Or your partners? I'm off to get a life.... why don't you??
