or do all of the 32 people who friend requested me in the last 12 hours actually know me from forums and stuff?

sometimes

did you friend them all ?

I know you.

but, I guess I can be spammy and carp.

Just wait until you start getting friend requests from the 18 year old males.

I added you because one of my friends welcomed you to plurk!

most of your list is on my list

Agreed some of them do.. I know you via a mutual acquaintance

That's why I updated my age to 70+

when someone says welcome uga to my timeline you will get lots of requests from their friends

Sturtyt, I assumed everyone I was friending here was an artfire acquaintance. Do I know you elsewhere?

yes, I accepted everybody. I assumed it would take forever to figure out what name went with what artfire friend

one reason I don't have fans, if the other person isn

isn't private they can see all the posts in their threads

right i dont do fans at all only friends

i can't have fans, private timeline

sometimes they come through..but they are usually pretty obvious and easy to weed out

what happens is sometimes the groups start to overlap a bit, artfire, then there seems to be a huge knitting group and then a teachers group

secondlife is huge here too

i havent run into that yet

i do have a bunch of people who do not sell on artfire. i have school teachers, musicians, photographers, all sorts of people

i have quite a few from there on mine

Actually no LOL and I've actually been a lurker of yours on Artfire, I watch what everyone else is talking about and check it out.

some are my customers and they have also purchased from other af plurkers

almost all on my timeline are af artists

I'm a vicarious artist

living thru the rest of us philip?

Good to see you Phillip!

I have different topics for different audiences. I have the infertility and miscarriage blog that garners one audience

i also have several who sell on etsy but not af

Sturtyt:

then the pottery stuff that garners another audience.

Then my video life which is a whole other audience.

Unfortunately, I'm always working too much to explore what I can do

So I'm just kind of double checking which audience is here. It's my artist buds!

Whaddya do Stu? (yes Stu, I have redubbed thee)

the reason i keep my plurk private: i am a private person and plurk is the only place on the internet where i feel comfortable talking about

my private life

me too star

me three Star

if it wasnt for the plurk buds i would be in a rubber room somewhere

*grin* I will accept the redubbing! I am a hearing specialist, but in a prior life I was a webdesigner and male opinionator of a fashionista

me too

I take the opposite approach, I'm such an open book that no one asks questions I may not want to answer. TMI is great for privacy actually

yeah the same here. I feel comfortable talking with my plurk buds

star you had another life too????

yes, I know you from AF forums and my friends here mentioning how wonderful you are1

yeah one with family members some nuts some not (like everyone else)

I'm open on plurk, but It's where I can talk a bit more about my real life here, FB is for family and such

same here Stu

Cognitive hearing loss - real thing or no? Supposedly that's what I've had most of my life

I have no issue with volume, but it takes me forever to decipher the sounds I'm hearing into words

it is real... typically it starts with a hearing loss though so even correcting it doesn't resolve the understanding

I have seen you in the forums many times and I have actually used your bowls in some of my collections

I recognize you pegasus

if hearing loss goes uncorrected a person can actually have auditory receptive memory loss.. brain doesn't hear it so it forgets it

plurk has been..the best kept secret

I sent a request from seeing you around and a plurk about an incense burner

Well when 10 of my friends say hey, add ugabugabowls, I say....uuuh ok

most all my plurk friends are Artfire peeps.

same here..

I know you from your shop & AF forums & plurkies here, but you may not recognize me b/c I'm a lurker in forums

i'm not even allowed to lurk for a while. i am banned for at least 30 days

self-impossed because apparentl i cannot stop my fingers from typing to idiots

banned from where? the af forums?

yes. self-imposed ban

i cannot stand the drama crap any longer. plus i have too much work to do

I don't have too much work to do! I can do the drama for all of us!

awwww colty. You are WAY too nice.
