I'm a non medically trained self appointed internet nurse. I have a very old useless degree in humanities from a poly therefore am completely unfettered by knowledge or training. Bring me your problems and I'll solve them.

@thighofrelief101 the MNHQ was from Fliss and pretty much said exactly what I reported back apart from the fact that they'd had other nominations too.

I can see why you're torn but it is nice to be able to find a good thread easily. I often can't remember user names or the exact title I want and the search engine's a bit hit and miss here. I often end up finding a thread by Googling rather then searching MN.

Of course threads in Chat no longer go pffft after 90 Days, which changes things, but how about if this one was moved over and then you do a monthly thread in chat? your online surgery and one stop advice shop? There's always going to be someone who needs your excellent eat cake and lie down advice Grin

Yy to "Thigh's relief". We need this MNHQ!

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/02/2019 19:23

Disney i think you should frame it with one piece missing. I was torn as to whether you should colour it in and disguise the missing piece or frame it with a white background to highlight it's incompleteness. I've decided you should highlight the missing piece as an interesting art installation entitled. "LIFE".

Well thigh

I just took dp a coffee and flapjack saying what a good gf I am

He said I'm not his gf.....

Result! (I'm going to ignore the shit vd card now)

Apparently I'm a bit more than a gf. Which is good.

I'm awaiting a proposal now. ( 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yeah that's me laughing. That will never happen.).

I love the idea if the framed puzzle with one piece missing as a representation of life. I actually think it's better this was. Complete it's just a puzzle, missing a piece it is thought provoking art.

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/02/2019 22:40

hellen what does the dog think of DP. He looks like a very sensible chap (the dog).

I have been following your advice about lying down (on the bed), and my two female dogs have decided to follow the same advice. There is no room for partner!

What should we do? We need to keep him sweet because he is bringing up food and drink for us all.

pineapplebryanbrown · 18/02/2019 09:50

woollyheart your partner sounds like a whiny little bitch. He can lie on the floor and hoover it afterwards the filthy wretch. Why should the dogs lie on the floor while he gets to roll around in luxury? Disgusting, do you have an integral garage?

OP posts:
woollyheart · 18/02/2019 10:43

That's what we (me and dogs) thought! The floor is quite comfortable.

No integral garage, but the shed is quite spacious.🤔

I will tell him to stop whining. The dogs say that they want more regular treats too.

KnittingSister · 18/02/2019 11:19

ContessaIsOnADietDammit thank you for the vegan website, I shall make good use of that Smile

thigh thank you for your wonderful endeavours to solve the world's problems - do you think we could stop all war and hunger by lying down for a nap and eating cake?

Monkeysocks38 · 18/02/2019 11:27

So I decided to paint the top of a chest of drawers with white gloss paint. Long story short, I was very impatient and now I have a very sticky (and not even white) top of the chest of drawers. My whole house also stinks of paint! What do you recommend I do to fix this? Should I move the chest of drawers into my sons room (he has moved out) and steal his old (almost white) drawers for my room?

Gettingsomewhere · 18/02/2019 11:43

Monkeysocks38, have you learnt nothing from the teachings of our wise master? Why were you even painting when you should have been lying down? You only have yourself to blame.
Do not move the chest of drawers. No guests will ever see it. Lie down

Gettingsomewhere · 18/02/2019 11:45

If you have a dog, lie down next to him. If you have a husband, get it to bring you treats

WitchoftheBog · 18/02/2019 13:56

Thigh
I like a man an awful lot. He doesn't seem to want to be more than friends any more: we have been more than friends previously.
I don't live near a river to find any fuckboys and I really don't want to move house.
What can I do?

hellenbackagen · 18/02/2019 14:31

thigh

The dog lurves him. Really. I'm a bit jealous , he's my dog but he has a favourite. And it's not me .

Stardust91 · 18/02/2019 14:33

Thigh

I have a 4 month old son. He keeps waking up every 1.5-2 hours for the last 2 weeks. Husband and I are shattered. Any advice of how to get him to sleep for longer? Ordering him to go back to sleep and stay asleep until morning hasn't worked so far.

proseccoandbooks · 18/02/2019 14:48

My MIL is just visiting. For a week. I'm pissed

OMGithurts · 18/02/2019 16:56

Stardust lie down in the day times. He will learn eventually without you having to do anything (I am advising in thigh's absence and think she would go for path of least resistance + naps).

I need to pick paint colours for a nice man to paint my bedroom so that the room looks nice while I lie down but can't decide. Any advice?

I have some healthy vegetables I was going to stir fry for my dinner, but I cannot decide what to have with them. Also it means standing up in the kitchen preparing them.

I do have cheese in the fridge. And naice crackers. And wine. It is also bin day tomorrow.

WIBU to just to put the vegetables in bin?

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 17:22

I do have an integral garage, and plastic sheet also , but My DH is working away.. (so it is only me for dinner)

pineapplebryanbrown · 18/02/2019 17:24

This one is serious I have to deal with it.

Witch this man is insane and none of this is your fault. You don't "like" him, he just discombobulated you. He did the old now i like you / now i don't shit 💩 didn't he?

You must not be involved in shizz like this. This isn't 930s USSR you know, he's not Joseph Stalin, he doesn't get to decide.

Fuck that noise!

Do you have a dog? You should.

Stardust your boy child sounds entitled and over dependent. There are two questions you should ask yourself:

What has it done to help itself out of it's own filth?
What has it ever done for you?

Exactly.
