Getting A Companion For My Cactus, A Fluffy And Spined Friend

Yes, I got it! My last post ended with the dramatic situation of the greenhouse closing and me leaving with empty hands; so I went back and this time, there's a happy ending. At first I was convinced that I was going to get one of those weird shaped cactus (found out that they actually are succulents, thank you @nikv), but it didn't feel right because of the limited light conditions of not having a balcony or a proper window. Of course, I was right at the point I started: with no decision made

Let's meet Ling-Ling; @vanessapineda7's newest addition to her cacti collection.
Everyone needs a friend every now and again; so why not a cactus too! Stop over to see what's happening in the cacti world at @vanessapineda7's house.

Which Class Of User Do You Support?

Yesterday, @abh12345 wrote a post where you could request a pie chart to find out "Which class of user do you support, 2018?"
Here's the thing: I don't purposefully vote on people based on their reputation number or their SP, but what this chart does tell me is that I support equally Minnows and Redfish and everyone in between. Since joining in December 2017, I have grown together with many others who joined at the same time, so I know that I support them and many have become Redfish; I also know that I continually support a lot of other new and new-ish folks here. Although I didn't need the chart to "prove" that , it is pretty cool to see that it's exactly 43% to Minnows and 43% to Redfish

Do you know which level and category of steemians you are supporting the most? Do you have a strategy for your support?
You can see from @lynncoyle1's chart how her votes and support are all divided up... wonder what yours would look like?

Each Peach Pear Plum: A Book Review

Before I get too far along let me just say this is my sons favorite book right now in fact our copy is slowly being destroyed by love.
If my son was to review this I'm pretty sure it would get 10/10 "READ THIS TO ME NOW!"'s as for me well he could have chosen much worse, after all, there are only so many times you can count the animals 1-10

It looks as if @shai-hulud would be giving this book five stars!
Have you ever read this book to your children? Or had it read to you? Stop over and give your own experiences, and review, for this book in @shai-hulud's post today.

Canna-Curate IS Growing

So we cannot believe all the support we are receiving from everyone on Steemit!! Not only from people who post about cannabis, but from all the people who love cannabis, but post other stuff. We all know there are many cannabis lovers on Steemit, and even if you don't post about it, does not mean you love it less then somebody who does post about it

Are you an advocate for cannabis use? Do you support the cannabis community on steemit?
Then head over to @canna-curate's post to see the latest statistics, their logo contest and more!!

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.

Write a post about Qurator.

Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.

Invite a friend.

Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
1	You refer a friend to Qurator	You sponsor a membership to your friend
2	Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: referred by @your_steemit_username	You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: @your_friends_username
3	Our team reviews the account	Our team reviews the account
4	Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote	Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote

Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.

Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail

	The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P

Qurator banners
