Must not try and take things personally on forums, after all people don't know me right? :-/

Does anyone have any forum etiquette rules they would like to share? I am a novice when it comes to the use of forums but in my short experience it can seem like people can be very snidey to one another, especially if you were silly enough to write a post or two in the marriage and family section. Lesson well and truely learnt!

:-S

Forums are full of loonies - just don't take it personally
Anybody who has a go is a loser..... so just snigger if they do and move on
There are some areas of this site where it's dangerous to venture .... and god forbid anybody with a different opinion in the Family/Marriage section! SRSLY .... only post there with a different opinion if you're in a strong and devilish mood ... and it's often good just to post and run still

I like spinach but whenever I have it, it leaks green water all over my plate and makes everything else wet, which I find annoying.

Try asking for it on a separate plate .... or, become a right dweeb and start to take your own small sideplate and pull it out of your pocket A small dips dish should be good enough I'd think (no idea how big a portion is of spinach though).

Old people ( or single women, disappointed they never got married and had children) often have this sort of dog.

If it is too ordinary, how about other Italian dessert names? Zuppa Inglese or Stracciatella sound suitably bonkers to me, though if it was fir's cat I would call it affogato.

We avpid cat names with sssss sounds, but adfogato is genious! (gato, gato, gato! Puss, puss, puss) I will ask dh. Parent will be suitably disgusted and call it foggy. We are looking for siblings in the two classic colours we don't have, a seal affogato would be perfect! But onlione it will be mocha grunter. Ooh, i hope dh likes that! Very few people make name suggestions i love :j:j


Btw, if we had had a son he would have had the most amazing name.

We have been talking lots about getting two kittens to join mauve squeaker and pink whistley. We have debated this a lot, but always decided not to as the four of us are such a tight unit. We don't want them put out, nor do i want the bond challenged too far. But parent feels left out of cat love, because the cats choose us first. So, we are looking for kittens. W know exactly what we want. I only have one name atm though. Dh said he did not like Tuttifruiti. Which i think is sweet, if a litle ordinary.

Could parent be persuaded to go down the awfully cute dwarf lop eared rabbit solution route instead?

Yes, but then, so could mauve squeaker and pink whistley. They love rabbiot. Yum yum.

I used to have a house rabbit. Our cats then were less bloodthirsty, and it and one of the dogs chummed up and used to go off and play together in. The woods.

I've got an easy shortcrust pastry recipe .....

I LOVE rabbit pie.... although not actually had one for about 40 years. My uncle used to catch/shoot them, then bring one round and gut it, then it'd hang outside and mum'd make a pie .... although maybe it only happened 1-2x .... it was so marvellous I've never forgotten it.

Cue heart warming lop eared rabbbit tale.

One winter night going out for a curry I saw a flash of white on the hill by our house. On the way home we stopped the car to investigate. It was a very small floppsy eared bunny, so cold that it did not run away. Picked bunny up and brought it home and put in a hutch with lots of straw and food. He rallied and we still have him - he is called Lucky. Our neighbour had found a domestic bunny coloured paw and fur earlier that week. Some G*T had dumped them.

We had had a foundling bunny before - again dumped in our woods - there were about half a dozen kits but we only managed to catch the one.
