Now if this was me I would probably ring a friend & vent to her, not go onto a forum before I've even spoken to my husband
I either use a tea towel or leave them to air dry. Never, ever would it occur to me to use a hairdryer which probably uses more electricity than the microwave or popcorn maker. Surely a microwave uses less than an oven anyway? And how does doing without cookery books help anyone?!

at this one.. how would the person find her? He’d be a DNA match for her husband but not her.. has she come back to explain that yet? 
Joint email address?I was a bit
As @Blurp said, I think she has used her email address. Let me check if she has come back!I was a bit

I know someone who did an Ancestry DNA test and discovered that his father was a sperm donor. His parents had never told him. Apparently that’s happened quite a lot thanks to Ancestry.
He found a bunch of half siblings (unsurprisingly) and then, several months later, they found a new sibling who also didn’t know they were donor conceived. Mad

Tattle doesn't like to link to MN, do you have a screen shot?

A teacher is struggling to manage work and childcare. Its only taken about five posts before someone has suggested an Au Pair 
Yes, let’s just employ an unqualified teenager instead of using a nursery or child minder like everyone else.

Some of the responses are reasonable: "if you really like it wear it" or "would you consider a tight pencil skirt that wasn't from a sex shop?" But this being MN there's a lot less ... gentle comments:
"Everyone will think you're a hooker"
"It will show the world your butthole"
"Why not go the whole hog and wear a rubber suit and mask?"
(Not in those exact words but that's the idea)
There is also a current thread from someone complaining the word "frumpy" is sexist as we don't call men frumpy. And asking others to stop making fun of Boden. Not sure if also a troll but hey, Boden sells clothes for men, feel free to make fun of men who buy it

Okay so no love child after all..?
They just let threads like these run and run for the engagement as everyone gets whipped into a frenzy.
On a thread about Meat Loaf's death, someone said he was very young to die and others jumped in with "74 is OLD" and "ugh, what's wrong with people, always wanting to live forever." I mean, yes, he died at an average age (and might have lived longer if not for health problems) but typical MN wants everyone to be prematurely middle-aged/old
You're probably right, I was thinking "ditsy" in terms of the kind of prints that are often described that way ... not my brightest moment! But MN responses still priceless
I don’t blame you for taking things at face value, why wouldn’t you? But that’s 100% a man wanking over the Lovehoney website
Not very MN of him, at least pick a more "exclusive" sex shopI don’t blame you for taking things at face value, why wouldn’t you? But that’s 100% a man wanking over the Lovehoney website
Speak for yourself.
I love to dress my curvy hourglass figure in feminine ditsy soft tops and ankle boots. Xo
Does your partner also “go mad for heels”?
