You people are getting to me!

0 Nellie, I felt the same pride the day I managed to publish several hubs in a row that didn't have one shred of spurious crap, tomfoolery or utter claptrap in them.
I was dead chuffed me
Well done Nellie - enjoy your middle age thingy

Touche good Lady
Yeah, yeah, yeah.... whatever Nelle. You may not be littering them with Amazon and Ebay capsules, but I bet that there are $20 keywords in there somewhere
Just kidding.
hahha - I will go check out your non 'buy online' hubs. I'm sure they are great!
On a side note, I have gotten entirely sick of the forums. I enjoy discussing things in a respectful, fact-based manner. It seems as though almost everyone around here has resorted to personalizing attacks and becoming truly rude and condescending. Not something I have the time for, nor the desire to participate in, anyways! lol
So.... I agree with you there!
I REALLY need to get writing hubs, I've been so busy writing/researching for work and a full-time class schedule. I need to do some light hearted ones but am so burnt out from work/classes that writing now feels like a chore.
This summer, it was fun!- Nelle Hoxieposted 9 years ago0

I might not want to read it! lol

Mid-life crisis, eh? I turned 40 AND had a mid-life crisis when I was living in Miami. I found a sure-fire way to elevate my spirits throughout it -- and it didn't involve any poetry. It involved candy. Um, eye candy. Yup. Anytime I was feeling funky, I just got all Desperate Housewives and hired myself a new hot young gardener or poolboy. I never crossed the line or anything, but Good Lord, did they brighten my day!
True, a certain person seems to show up where ever I post
I don't think he is a fan, I should check
At least he is not abusive.Anyway, after today I'm out of the political forums. I really don't care about US politics but I have this desire to look for the truth and don't want to let people get away with generalizations that are usually not their own.
It's hard to look the other way at times...- Nelle Hoxieposted 9 years ago0
Just watch your back
We would worry about you If he starts bugging me too much I'll let you know
Definitely

So, true. I keep telling myself: "Just one more post, Laura. That's all... just ONE more. Just like drinking, one more turns into 10. I don't even know who I am anymore. I look at myself in the mirror and I look aged, sick, hopeless. Then I say, okay, no I won't post I'll just read. READ THIS: I'll just go into the liquor store to see what the bottles look like. Yeah right. It's the old AA addage: "If you go into the barber shop enough times, eventually you're gonna get a hair cut." I'm practically bald.
RK seems to have taken over for me
Oh, arguing over the purported video of Dems booing Bush at the 2005 State of the Union address. I don't see it that way. Under the Should this Democrat apologize thread. Stop making me think about it
No more, I'm notice when I'm not in that forum I feel a lot calmer
It may be that the crazy partisan beliefs and extreme conspiracy theories get you riled. It does me!

Sound good, lets start as many "good news" threads as we can
I am not looking forward to the new Dan Brown that much. I read DaVinci Code and it was okay but not earth shattering, a nice mystery story. I'm looking more forward to George Carlin's autobiography to be published in November.
You have to let it exhaust itself, this is the only way to really let it go
You are definitely right about that, the temptation is too great sometimes though.
But I'm getting better.That sounds wise, Misha! Not like you to go in to a political or religious forum!

This thread is making me crave a nice cup of tea....Nice and calming, you know?
- Nelle Hoxieposted 9 years ago0
I tried a couple of happy threads but there are only a few who takes part in it. I believe some find happy threads boring and would find debates more interesting.
Request from whom? This is us who do this, or don;t do
We can of course - but it will work only we post interesting and polite posts over there. All of us. Might as well start with interesting and polite posts on other forums.
I'm always polite
I'm pouring the tea...and watching Medium

Nelle, they're happy when they're fighting, I think.
I have to admit that although I'm not a fan of a lot of the same old fights, once in a while there will be a really wacky one (in which I won't participate because they're usually between a couple of "main people") that I find really funny. Awhile back there was one that seemed to have everyone and his brother jumping in and having their own "mini-fights" within the "main fight" - and, I'm sorry to be a voyeur, but my sides were hurting I was laughing so hard. (and it was a really "mean" fight, so it wasn't supposed to be funny)- Nelle Hoxieposted 9 years ago0

Seperate Poetry and Short Stories From Informational Hubpages
I feel concerned that the reason google may prefer ehow as opposed to hubpages, is because there is an abundance of poetry and short stories. I am not by any means saying that those who publish the short stories and poetry are not good, but they are not usually searchable or high market. I...

Keeping Poetry Alive: Adding text
I have had a few poems receive non-featured status. I've been able to revive them by adding a couple of text paragraphs to expound on the topic of the poem while maintaining the integrity of the poem. It lengthens the hub, extending its survival, and therefore, making it more searchable. I've also...
