Why are so many people up at this hour ?

[SummerDad]

Just wondering ...

sorry. But after mucho speak of lead in pencils anything said that could get deliberately misinterpreted was going to be the butt of the bad sense of humour sincerely hope you're not offended.

S'ok mrs I'm up for banter about lead in pencils etc but not if it's to be misconstrued as online flirtation. That is not my intention. I'm a happily married prude Catholic and certainly would be very upset if I thought my husband was doing such.

god I'm so boring

So sorry, everyone. Was simply trying to make a point about the use of supplements, especially zinc, on Fri 22nd Feb at 23.50. I'm off!!! Nobody was interested really in horsemeat, Premarin and the pharmaceutical companies.

Hope that all of you who are going through children's illnesses, personal agony and suffering are feeling better!

why do you think no-one was interested, jynier?

As far as I can tell, people have been trying to trace the interview you mentioned and have tried to help you to link it as well.

Yes, kitty, cafecito gave me some guidance but I couldn't make it work! Wish that someone would start a debate on MN about the pharmaceutical companies and Premarin's horses, etc. Can't be me as I have the computer skills of a ladybug although I was able to share a lot on FB; my sister is horrified.

We're getting far away from SummerDad's original post.

... my sister is horrified about the operations in Canada, not that I shared on FB!

sorry kitty, my perverse humour just ribbing you for the benefit of your DH and the Vatican, I would never construe you as flirtatious

I had a nice weekend filled with DS ''huggles'' as he calls them, though I suspect I failed to satisfactorily answer questions about pontepines, solar flares (!) and why I dont have a willy... [hoped this would be covered at school after the age of 7]

kansas how scary for you, how is DD now?

Jynier don't be too much conscious about what this thread was about originally. This thread was nothing but a loud thought which gained a bit of momentum due to lovely souls like dr cafe, kitty and others like me .

I agree with kitty, it was just a bit of banter no-one intends any online flirting. So, can we get back to the banter please

summerdad it's all your fault

nicholasr, sorry for the

kitty- coughing means you're nearly better! medical fact

Hi, all! Of course I'm up!

and yes - ice cream (pref with some sticky toffee pudding)

(I intend to be less of a piglet from tomorrow, have failed epically today by accidentally eating all of the purple quality street...) I think throughout my nightshifts and library time I failed to eat and I am overcompensating

has anyone ever watched that godawful tv show take me out? I do not own a tv (said in a very prim, prissy voice filled with disdain) but I watched 'take me out' at the weekend elsewhere- and was utterly shocked that people can sit there at dinner in silence ! how does that even happen?! this thread, though oft-derailed by myself- is an example of stuff I have learned from random conversation really - jynier, I have learned a lot from you I would have never known about Premarin before this

can you imagine silence? eeek

I've never watched Take Me Out, tbh, because it seems rather tragic. Whatever happened to trotting down to your local and pulling someone for a get-it-out-of-your-system fling? I still find my flings funny years later.

yes please, back to banter. hi summerdad

I'm terribly norty really, but terribly faithful and old fashioned.

Thanks cafe but you can leave the Vatican out of it please I'm a bit of a heretic really when it comes to the church...... the only teachings I uphold are the very basic, love thy neighbour, do-as-you-would-be-done-
by ones. I have my parish priest over for lunch and then harangue him over gay rights, contraception in Africa, etc. I'm a bit of a rubbish Catholic if I'm honest.

Don't worry anyone Summerdad is right - banter good - nothing misconstrued or ignored here!! Huggles are precious aren't they Cafe? Yum! And Kitty - I think as a bf mother you should stay in bed until midday EVERY day!!

all the best people are up expat!

Oh & Cafe - DD aged 3 & I had an in depth discussion about the cat's "gina" or "peanuts" or lack of either. I explained that he's a boy so has a penis but he keeps it warm under all his lovely black fur. A bit like her Dad tonight who is snoring his head off next to me!!

I harken to my fav quote from Carroll's Alice in Wonderland: ?Do you think I've gone round the bend?"
"I'm afraid so. You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.?

I am nothing special but I spend a lot of time dodging advances from randoms (example, today on the train)- which is why these shows are all the more tragic because if I get asked out all the time- anyone can really... which beats going out with someone you have never even spoken to. My sister watches it religiously and I worry that she is learning enormous plastic boobs + sparkly minidresses are the only way to go..

Shall I have the last portion of apple crumble & ice cream or is that disastrous now it's after midnight??

midwife you are absolutely right about the breastfeeding

doc thanks for the info, I love having my own physician. it makes me feel very important
re: your willy- what was the outcome? That really made me laugh.

I don't have a telly either so don't know the program but it sounds hateful (it mostly is which is why we don't have telly)

Oh I love that quote!

I like kerouac's 'the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...'

and robin williams said something like 'we are only given a little spark of madness, we must be careful not to let it go out'

have it now midwife. go on do it!

actually no, share it with me.

do you find the more sweet you eat, the more you want? fish, I do
