Hey, @practicalthought.

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm doing okay. I was hoping to settle in here, see improvement for June, but my mom's health has taken a very sudden turn for the worse and I'm basically waiting to know what her status is. She's back in the hospital and apparently unresponsive. My dad can't seem to get much out of anyone other than preparation for the worst.

So, that's one of things I mentioned. The other is I may or may not have a job. I interviewed and went out on a ride along (nothing so cool—it's a business that runs amusement machines like you might find in a pizza parlor, or even a tavern—as well as ATMs—I'd be collecting money and refilling toys and such). I was told I would hear from the operations manager by the end of the week, but nothing, so I'm not sure where that stands either.

So, you're the third person I'm telling all of this to. As I said, until something happens, I'm trying to stay focused on STEEM.

re: feel bored

I think I'm with you. I'm not all that thrilled with the idea of millions of tokens running around. It's bad enough with a couple thousand or whatever it is.

I've taken a look at PALnet, too, which I guess is as close to a SMT/community as we can get right now, and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I've searched around for a white paper that's supposed to exist, but couldn't find it, so I'm not even sure what the place is hoping to achieve.
