Steem Basic Income Giveaway: (Small Confessions...)

in #contest5 years ago

Thanks to the people who replied back to the Irrational Fears post... there were some really truly strange fears there... which just goes to show that other people are completely nuts... but my one is definitely serious.... but yes, the rest of you are crazy.

This week, I've been sneaking around and doing something a tiny little bit naughty... we all do these little things... and I was wondering if anyone else would like to confess to a tiny little thing on a public blockchain... so, just to be clear... small and not serious confessions please! If you've murdered someone and buried them in the walls of your house... perhaps write a stand-alone post for it and don't put it down here!

My Question

  1. What is something that you think you probably should confess to? (something small... recent or long time ago....)

My sample answer

IMG_20190923_103427.jpg

My oldest daughter... when she gets sweets and chocolates for Easter/Christmas/Halloween/birdthday parties... she hoards them.... and then rarely eats them! This is in stark contrast to her sister, who will try and stuff everything into her mouth at the moment of receiving the goodies!

So, we have a whole bag of things... chocolate bunnies, christmas canes... chocolate bars and sweets... that is just hanging at bottom of our stairs on the last bannister. Well... let's just say, that I help myself every now and then... so, the bag keeps getting filled... and our daughter doesn't really eat them... yet the bag never starts to overflow or get too heavy... how can that be?

In my defence, we would be throwing it out anyway! Most of the stuff in there will last over a year... so, we still have Easter chocolates and some stuff from the previous Christmas... it's all just going to go to waste... and I'm also making sure that she won't rot her teeth!

... so it is okay, isn't it?

Rules

  1. Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
  2. Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
  3. In the comments, answer as best as you can the questions that are posed in the "My Questions"!
  4. I have added a small Steem-Bounty to the post, so that everyone who replies with a valid entry will get something back. If I give your post a small upvote, it is valid (also, subscribe to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit!).
  5. I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in liquid SBD/STEEM. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!

Steem Basic Income

One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!

With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!

Last week's winners

The last post paid out 0 SBD and 1.339 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 2 shares.

The winners by random draw are:

Lol, I keep thinking about your 'guilty pleasures' question whenever I do this. I couldn't come up with anything at the time, but it has been playing in my mind all summer :0)

I'm really sensitive when it comes to animals. Can't watch a movie of photo in which they get hurt. Still, during the gardening season, I can really enjoy going slug-hunting. Armed with a pair of scissors, I search the entire garden and kill them one by one. Worst thing is that it feels like victory every time I kill one. So bad, poor slugs... but slugs aren't really animals, are they ;0)

Ssst.. don't tell my friends... it would ruin my image.

Oh dear... I can't remember what I admitted to in that one...

You cut live slugs?!?!?!?!?!?

I dump salt on them....

I have to laugh about the candy. I think after a week or so I would throw it out. I'm sure your daughter who does not eat it would not care. but the other one might find it!

I have not murdered anyone, so whew! You won't get that out of me.

In high school I was the deciding vote to keep a person out of a group I knew she really wanted to join. If I had said yes, she would have got in. I always feel bad about that when I think of it and still do not know why I voted no. I do not feel any better to get this off my chest and still feel bad!

Haha... even if you murdered someone... I'm not sure that you would confess here!

Ah well, we all do things that we regret... and have no idea why we did it... still, it is past and nothing can now be done...

My confession is the following, when I was a child I cried a lot in my first days of school, I couldn't bear to let my mother leave me alone with my classmates and the teacher. hehe

My confession is that .. on my kids birthday, they dont get gifts from me unless they in return get me one lol.. yes I made this tradition up a few years ago. I have always told them that without me going through the pain of labor they wouldnt get a birthday 😉. So yes it's also a way to get them to make me something from the heart 💛🥰.

Hey that is a great idea!... I didn't do the labour part of getting them into this world... but I'm sitting in the middle of the night with them when they are sick or scared?!?!?!?... probably not quite as impressive... but worth something?!?!?

I dont see why u cant get them to make u something as well on their birthday lol u are their daddy💙

I was a good kid, so was never blamed for any bad thing but I used to take meat from stews and soups when nobody was watching

Ha... that's not quite so terrible! Unless you didn't leave anything for anyone else!

I always left some

small and not serious confessions please

This brings back a bad memory from when I asked the community something similar and someone's answer was horrific. I'll spare the details and answer normally below.

I went to a catholic school (they are state funded and popular where I grew up). We were offered to do something called confession a few times a year which usually took up 30 minutes of class.
I would leave to confession and just go hang out with friends.
I got caught once by a teacher. I told the teacher I will add it to my list for the next confession.

Yeah... you got to be careful... there are so many terrible experiences waiting to be told on the internet!

Haha... did you do? Confess your lack of confession?

When I was little I asked my neighbor to strip and turn and they did it from the other side of the fence

Ha... that's weird that they did it!

Small confession... Hmm.. I'm not sure?!

Ok, maybe this counts..

As a new user I should really be powering up all the STEEM that I get my hands on, but instead I am addicted to SBI, giveaways and contests! I want to shower STEEM and sponsor SBI units all over the place EXCEPT for in my STEEM plant powered up...

Well, I sold a Splinterlands card for 100+ steem on Peakmonsters overnight, and thought I was looking in the wrong wallet when I woke up this morning.. LOL

But I had total 125 STEEM in my wallet.. I only powered up 75 STEEM.. shhhh. I gave most of the rest away already :o

WOAH?!??!!?!? That's a pretty impressive card that you picked up... well, 75 is better than zero!
