Looking at threads/posts from 2012 and 2013 there are so many people who no longer post on here. I realise that some may well have died [though not too many I hope]. I wondered if this was just a normal thing, that people came in , posted for a while, maybe a year and then lost interest.Perhaps that's it.

baubles just watched the Wire scene. It was really witty I thought.

Lona Sun 13-Apr-14 15:33:31

Yes, very erudite grin

Nonu Sun 13-Apr-14 16:25:30

Ana Sun 13-Apr-14 16:28:33

Lona Sun 13-Apr-14 16:36:31

Oh thank you Nonu and Ana, yes, I had a really good time. The weather was scorching and the food was wonderful. We all pootled about and had a nice rest! smile

Soutra means trolls petallus and I'm sure there are a few here as in everywhere else. Yes, don't know how we sidetracked into nitpicking about the F word either really , it sort of happened! I was just starting a thread really about the why factor that so many people have left.
Can't stand Mrs. Brown by the way, find it ghastly.
DebnCreme yes, Lawks a mercy went out of popular usage in the USA round about the end of the 19th century, BUT there were some in my W.I who would have fainted clean away had any one been effing in their hearing.grin

Roses there is 'effing' at our WI and it's often me!

Has anyone had an email asking them to reset their mumsnet password due to the "Heartbleed" problem? Apparently all passwords have been deleted, I just wondered if the same might happen on here. Although it may be a bit late as the problem has been known about for two years. shock

Penstemmon Sun 13-Apr-14 18:36:46

Yes i had one positivepam

Ariadne Sun 13-Apr-14 18:47:40

Me too. But I only joined MN when we were searching for Greatnan - where MNetters were great - so don't think I'll bother again.

Soutra Sun 13-Apr-14 19:04:34

I did too and as usual have no idea what my username or password were! Let me know if you spot me on MN I'm the one who makes all the typos!

DebnCreme Sun 13-Apr-14 19:23:57

grin grin roses our WI is made of sterner stuff I reckon grin even though I am anti certain words myself, certainly wouldn't faint clean away. Leaves the thread still giggling at the vision of WI ladies with hats, of course, abandoned in a heap.

positivepam Sun 13-Apr-14 20:59:28

Same reason I joined MN Ariadne. I haven't been on since.
