Anyone Seen Camlo About Lately.
I dont know about camlo. But too many people, who made forums lively, have left.
Hi - no, I'm not sick ... just really busy. It's the tourist season here, and I'm working 15 to 18 hours a day. As Wry says, I'm also active elsewhere on the Internet, but only about 5 minutes a day. Anyway, really nice to know somebody is thinking about me.
BTW, I also hope to be doing a podcast for HP soon, and will do it just as soon as I can.I'm only working part-time tomorrow (about 10 hours), so I'll be home for the evening, and will try the podcast yet again ...
You know, when I'm reading the story, I seem to ask myself if anyone will really care to listen to this drivel and read faster and faster until I start tripping over the words - it's as though I want to get it over and done with. Just a kind of attitude problem, I suppose. It's also difficult because of all the dialogue, with mostly women doing the speaking.
Thanks for those truly fantastic compliments. I will keep them in mind when trying again tomorrow. You've boosted my confidence.
He was lost but now he is found
Hi CamloHi camlo, it's good to hear you're alive and well these days, as hubpages isn't the same without you around.
I was wondering about your new profile image. A scarf?
I'm lucky that people think I'm in my early thirties, but I have known potential employers to change their mind about me when they discover my real age. It's silly - they get what they see and not some figure on a piece of paper.
Yes, I know you're in Ireland, and I've heard things are pretty hard there at the moment. One of the best things to do, I've found, is to look into working in the catering or tourism industry - I actually do both. You could also study with the Open University - I did and it was actually great fun. But being a foreign student, I had to pay the full cost.
Yes - looks like you found me again.
well the knitting looks like a scarf i suppose....
i am pretty obsessive, and i was card making and my house was full of craft stuff. Now i am knitting and i have every colour of wool going. I made a baby shawl in two days which believe me is no mean feat.
I think you are similar age to me, but you look younger, you probably had no kids..... I could be your female characters, but dont know how to read it out.
I have been writing short stories in my head all the time lately.
I got a phone call from someone who knows i love salad, telling me not to buy cucumbers from lidle, as they were killing people in germany.......
Since then i have wanted to write a short story, about a person on the edge living in a cucumber free zone.
Did you know all the toys that we used to have, like Tiny Tears doll etc, are now called Retro, or vintage, and pretty damn expensive.
Still think we have a future together, in the writing department, i can see through your characters, easily.........
You are popular on here what!!!!!! I found you first ha ha
I thought it could be a scarf rather than a tea-cosy owing to the long, oblong shape. So, what are you planning it to be(come)? Maybe you could sell your crafts on the Internet. Baby shawls hand-knitted in Ireland could be a pretty good product to work on, especially because you're so productive. I'm pretty sure people would be prepared to pay quite a lot for something like that - it's the exclusive quality that does it.
You know, I always write my short stories first in my head. I even think up the phrasing etc. before anything ever hits paper. The only thing I never know before actually writing is the ending, but it somehow all clicks into place while writing, and the ending takes care of itself.
Cucumbers are fascinating (although I hate the taste). Do you remember the Bananaism thread. It was then that I introduced Cucumberism. You also know my story 'Dolly'? Dolly liked cucumbers very much ... But yes, your friend is right, there's a virus here called IHEC. They believe it originates from Spanish produce, in particularly cucumbers and tomatoes, and it can be lethal. So, we're all avoiding salad and vegetables in Germany. The illness, basically, begins with stomach cramps, leads to kidney failure, and is treated by blood transfusion.
Age is just a number and the higher it gets, the less I can identify with it. I have managed to look much, much younger than I am - I take after my biological mother who never aged after the age of 29, who I last saw when she was 44.
I had an Action Man, but do remember Tiny Tears, although I'd forgotten until you just mentioned her. I must say, though, I wasn't much into toys. I prefered playing with cardboard boxes - so much you can do with them. As of about nine, I was into music and my transistor radio, which I'd keep taking apart and re-building. I'd also listen to Radio Luxemburg under my pillow until one in the morning - I knew the charts inside out (but not my times-tables). That was the time of The Sweet, Slade, The Osmonds, Gary Glitter etc.
Writing - I've been playing around with that for just a few years. Not sure if I'll ever make it as a 'real' writer, but it's fun. Jackie Collins says there's room for everyone, so who knows?
Actually, I'm really, really flattered by this thread - and to think I almost missed it. Thanks for starting it, Brenda.
I haven't been here for awhile so I didn't know they were missing. Everytime I leave and then comeback someone is always gone.
Let me know if you find them. Hey Camlo, long time no see. It's good to see that your still with us, as I know hubpages would never be the same without you.
Anyways, I hope all is well with you.

Why doesn't Hubpages have a block button
Every single internet community in the world has a block button, but hubpages does not.

I see why HP doesn't promote forum usage
This forum has no ongoing moderation, so people are likely to emerge into passive-aggressive banter, or attack or defense mode. Without intervention these behaviors are rather common, if not typical to the human being.
