  • Weezl - just waiting for the pics to upload, latest I have is from Christmas.

    I agree with your definitions. I think it this poster falls into the latter, non-troll, category I could actually feel quite sorry for her. We don't know her background but my first thought was someone who either can't have or has lost babies and is trying to live her ideal life through a website where she is accepted as a mum (obviously, I could be way out though!)

    How's Bruno and the other sickies?

    I remain a bit feeble and snotty and fevery, not too grim though. Hoping to be a bit better tomorrow for OH's birthday...

    Lovely to see some people back on the forum who've been quiet for a bit :) and what a kindly father you have Carla, good work!

    or you with a big fake moustache!!!!! :eek:

    ETA I partially disagree with Weezlie's theory on internet personality constructs... to everyone apart from the poster, the poster's intent (which is anyway hidden the whole time until any unmasking) may be largely irrelevant, the relevant bit is whether other people in that net community engaged with them under false pretences, and ultimately feel betrayed and manipulated at the end, or are just shrugging and laughing. A troll who tells elaborate lies with the intention of causing upset, and a lonely person who tells elaborate lies with the intention of getting people to like him, can both really badly offend and upset those they interact with!

    Weezl, would this include natural sugar too?
    yep :)

    Anything with -ose at the end. Natural milk has lactose. Sugar is sucrose. Fruit sugar is fructose. The most immediately available and therefore slightly more potent one is glocose. Bacteria eat glucose, and poo acid which eats teeth.

    All sugars are coverted to glucose though, it just takes a bit of doing. If you chew bread for a while it gets sweeter, This is because your saliva is causing it to become maltose and finally glucose.

    Anyone still with me?

    I think if you look hard enough there will be a reason why air is bad for you. Or water. Or your skin. Or even chocolate.

    Carrot goes down well here too. Today Andrew had potato & broccoli, loved it. Just need to add the steak now!



    I believe you're genuine :D You're our lovely Feelie :D

    I've not mixed anything yet! I am going to get him some brocolli tomorrow - does it puree OK?

    So far he's had Apple, Pear, Banana, Sweet Potato and Carrot. I'm going to get him Brocolli, Parsnip & butternut Squash tomorrow - once he's had something once and been OK I will start mixing!

    J had a 2hr nap this afternoon and I did a load more purees, had a tidy round and got up to date with stuff. He is in bed now and because I thought it was Friday I put myself a can of Bulmers in the fridge so I'm drinking that now!

    I'm real - can be verified by Sami, 3, Sparkle, MFD, Fritha, Feelie & those I have sent fairypost to Elle, Tia & Tigs :)

    Hi NMS - Did you say you were coming Tuesday? Would be lovely to see you :) oh and JAM wear your sling!!

    MM - Checked distance to Preston, would be over a 60mile round trip and I don't think I could do an evening after 6pm or a Sunday :(
