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??

I'm on here because I;'m sleepy. Which explains the shit typos in every post

I sit here when bfing too, any reason I can't get on with stuff, MN it is.

Then I can't usually get up again...brain won't function enough to move.

It's not so much the amount of obviously bored women on here it's the amount of tossers on here who think they know everything but don't actually know very much. Pass the bucket.

Flllight · 20/06/2008 08:15

Blimey I hadn;t even read the OP. Now that says just how mentally fit I am to be posting here

She will sod off into her real life and leave us alone in a bit, I expect. What a rude cow though.

hf128219 · 20/06/2008 08:24

I forgot to add the bit about the people who don't think other people are entitled to an opinion

lucyellensmum · 20/06/2008 09:07

Yeah, you're probably right - shut the door on your way out

hf128219 · 20/06/2008 09:45

I only posted that in the AIBU forum to get a reaction - I sure did! LOL. My point is proven

Habbibu · 20/06/2008 13:40

hf, I'm not sure there's much merit in proving a point against a straw man argument.

Twelvelegs · 20/06/2008 13:48

I am not sure I should give the OP the attention she is seeking, I'm too bored already!!!

mumblechum · 20/06/2008 13:50

I'm only here at work.
Sadly there are far too many fecking happy marriages this week and no new divorce clients.

Feckers.

fullmoonfiend · 20/06/2008 13:53

I don't want to justify my lack oflife to anyone

I do, however, have a tiny attention span so MN suits me very nicely.

Oh look! A kitten!
