RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁
Wow. Just finished taking a closer look at top engagement rank. @janton made 627 comments. With 338 additional depth replies. My goosy goomples! Amazing, @janton! Then I noticed new guy @paparodin right on edge of Top 10. Wowza.
I'm getting extra popcorn for next Sunday. ;) You Top Tenners are incredible.
Yeah, @janton goes crazy, but it pays off for him which is great.
Yes. And your type of crazy is paying off handsomely for you too, new guy. ;)
How are you doing? I have a feeling I dropped the ball last week on a comment but I may have caught up.
Where is 2018 flying? Once it's summer, it's time to start preparing turkey and ham for back to back festive seasons towards the end of the year. Geesh. Hello, 2019. ;)
I am just looking forward to the end of summer. I am not build for the heat, I prefer the cold.
That aside, things are good. Could be better, but I am working on it.
Yes, it's super hot here. I keep a spray bottle full of water and have to refill a million times each day to help keep cool. Unfortunately doesn't really get cold here but things start being so intensely hot usually early October.
I'm cheering you on as you create the better. Doing that too myself... just have to drastically reduce time on Steemit. ;)
lol! thank you Ma'am you are a very entertaining writer!
yeah watch out for the new guys! congratulations @paparodin
and thank you @angelacs for the very kind words, if I could write as good as you
I would have had a thousand instead of 627!
My pleasure, kind Sir!
Which rock have I been hiding under to have missed meeting you all this time? Very pleased to make your acquaintance!
thank you Ma'am..well I'm kind of a hermit so I've been invisible. lol.
No, I just started on here 4 weeks ago, first time came in 3rd and liked it.
Did you say you are in Texas?
I have just started to notice you after I have seen you rank in here.
Things like that seem to happen quite often.
howdy @paparodin ..yes sir the League is a great way to get noticed. Very good for a rising star such as yourself, next week you'll be in the top bracket I'm sure. thank you sir for commenting!
I was in the top bracket second to last week. I have to really push it hard to make it again this week.
howdy again @paparodin! yes sir, it's really tough if you work a regular job or raising kids or have a lot of other responsibilities. do you fit into any of those situations? Are you a native German?
thanks for commenting!
Yeah, I work in a new job now. Being away from the house for 10 hours does hurt when it comes to steemit and other things, but I deal with it.
Yes, born and raised in germany. How about you, where are you coming from? Also, damn, that was a fast response.
Wow! That's excellent, @janton. Amazing actually. You new guys sure don't waste time. ;)
No, I referred to my fav Texan mama... I get her emails and she's a sweetie but knows how to use her boots well too. One of my fav online gals. I'm in Jamaica.
lol! that is superb! you gals gotta stick together.
what is life like in Jamaica? I know that's too broad of a question sorry.
are you a native of Jamaica and do you work outside the home to make money?
Hey, @janton,
Sorry to pause the lovely convo flow. I've been unsuccessfully trying to spend less time on Steemit. Have to try harder. ;)
Pretty much like everywhere else. A lot of crap going on but a beautiful place to live. We call it 'The Rock' and it's where I was born and have lived most of my life. No matter where I live, I'll probably always have a base and spend at least a 3-8 weeks here every year.
I used to. Left my last job in 1987 and promised myself I'd never work for anyone but myself after that. Done a number of things for $$. Business consultancy mostly and melding that with spirituality/consciousness development... facilitating workshops, energy healing sessions.... those have been the staples since '87.
In between, art work... sold paintings, especially prints in resort hotels and tourist shops... network marketing, on and off for a couple decades, offline then online. Probably worst biz decision I've ever made was to leave Herbalife.
Shifted everything online in 2004. Ran a membership site for a few years, doing group guided meditations and coaching. Then got in to writing and publishing a few series... non-fic and fiction after my Dad passed in 2014. Everything stopped when my sister passed Thanksgiving Day, 2016. Sick most of last year and slowly got back online late last year, early this year.
Steemit early February. Helped get me consistent with content creation again and am now about to organize brand new membership and coaching on something I've been doing since 1990 but never shared much.
By now you MUST be sorry you asked. ;)
How about you, kind Sir?
howdy back @angelacs! so good to hear from you..no I'm thrilled that you gave me so much information but that brings up so many new questions!
So you don't live in Jamaica now? if not, where and why did you move?
also, you said you were trying to not be on steemit so much which is shocking because most people say that they are trying to be on Steemit MORE! but you think it's not a good investment of your time right now?
then you mentioned network marketing and Herbalife, why did you get out and why was it a terrible decision?
okay I'll stop now, you just sound like you have so many interesting things going on, don't worry if it takes awhile to get back to me, just make sure you do sometime! lol
I'm off to bed now, @janton, but I will get back to you tomorrow... or later.. what time is it? ;)
YOU are an ace at avoiding questions, I see, despite my subtle ladylike prompting.
Come on. You have to share some juicy details too. You may be a bit of a hermit now like myself but I know you've been up to lotzzz of stuff. So give some of it up. That's only fair, right?
btw start there, with something fairly easy.. at the hermit thing. Is that just on Steemit or real life too? How long? Why? It seems I have to become a bit of the interrogator now.
Peeps who know me well would advise you to cough up what you want now, cross fingers and toes and pray, rather than let me ask later. They'd whisper I can ask endlessly deeper and deeper questions. ;)
