I used to think that I was a good writer. But, since joining MN, I have to face the sad realisation that this is untrue. If I comment on a thread, it dies, and if I start a thread, no one answers! I give up. I know I am a good reader, I will stick to that from now on....

Not dead yet...I saw the snot kids mother waiting to collect the children, and she started talking about how kind my DS is (to my amazment), so I was abashed and could not bring up the issue

hands up if you think we should keep this thread alive to 1000 posts just for the heck of it? [handsup emoticon]

then get it into Classics and ask MNHQ to create a [paramedic] emoticon for resuscitating dying threads in the future?
and a [threadkiller] one for insecure newbies.

I love this thread

Iteotwawki · 21/05/2013 03:49

I would adore a thread-resuscitation-emoticon! The thread killer one could be a little scythe :) maybe the resus one should be a syringe of adrenaline?

Definite yes for keeping the thread alive to 1000 posts.

MummaBubba123 · 21/05/2013 06:41

Gosh, I've felt like that so often! Lol

Tanith · 21/05/2013 07:29

I never kill threads.

I merely post the unanswerable, brilliantly constructed reply that no-one can refute. Wink

amazingmumof6 · 21/05/2013 08:19

I think it should be [firstaid] or [red cross] for resuscitating the thread. and have a little red cross as the actual emoticon.

amazingmumof6 · 21/05/2013 08:20

Iteotwawki pinky swear?

MiniTheMinx · 21/05/2013 10:26

Still signs of life then.

Eskino · 21/05/2013 10:42

Yes but now I'm here...

Iteotwawki · 21/05/2013 11:18

Amazingmum cross my heart :) even if it's one post a day it'll get to 1000. In about 3 years. Will deserve Classics just for that!

I'm sure I'll still be here, watching the tumbleweed ... ;)

Tanith · 21/05/2013 12:19

Not far to go, really - not even 900 posts
