RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! ๐
howdy from Texas Engagement League! First off Asher..I bout fell outta my chair today when I checked my wallet and saw my SP! I thought "how in the world did THAT happen!" So thank you sir, it is such a blessing and a powerful encouragement and I salute and thank @curie for the generous support for this league and for helping so many people.
I'm sorry I'm late to the party today, our internet was down again, this time for hours, it's been plaguing me all week going in and out which really throws a wrench in my commenting strategy.
I'm so glad that @glenalbrethsen is back in and being rewarded for all his hard work. I don't really want to compete against him, he's kinda scary because he's so good and a prolific writer, which I'm not.
Thank God we've had a drought going on here otherwise you wouldn't be able to find our house! It's really slowed the growth of grass, weeds and trees but I gotta do more property maintenance this coming week so I'm stepping back a bit from Steemit, I'll still try to make it into the top 5 but it may be the top 10, who knows?
I'm having a blast and so enjoying getting to know so many people from around the world, where else can you do that in such a fun way? I feel very blessed. The great @davemccoy referred to me as King Janton the Joyous and that pretty much describes the basis of my success although I don't know about the King part.
The wonderful @lynncoyle1 called me Jibber Jabber Janton which is also a great nick-name and description of my personality on here, I love that one Lynn, thank you!
I'm so impressed with everyone and those moving up or staying near the top like @themanwithnoname, Lynn, @gillianpearce, and @smithlabs! oh my gosh that guy is great, he is also full of Joy and so funny! if you don't know him guys you should..has a BIG heart! get ready to laugh alot though, he helps keep my joyous.
Also @cicisaja! what fun getting to know her last week and asking her alot of questions so she was forced to keep writing back, lol congratulations on your constant upward movement. @rentmoney is tremendous and coming on strong, @hashcash same for you, @funbobby51 is so consistent and seems like always in the top 10.
Congrats to everyone who worked hard to make it into the top 20, it's not easy! Again my special thanks to Asher for all the work in running this league and congrats to you also for placing so high with everything else you have going on!
Congratulations on being at the top again @janton. ๐
howdy there @gillianpearce! congratulations to you also and you are probably doing the most amazing job of any of us. I mean look at your consistency and level of quality and number of posts and placing while working full time! who else could do that? no one knows how YOU do it! lol.
Thank you @janton but, sadly, I can't take that much credit. I don't work full time.
I work for myself from home and, mostly I can choose my hours so that's a big help, but I don't have to travel to and from a place of work, nor be there at a certain time. But I am focused and consistent. That much is true! ๐
yes Ma'am you could write a book on consistency! (and keeping a clean desk)
Ha, ha, ha. @janton. And long may the clean desk continue! ๐
yes the desk..we want photographic proof!
Well I'm glad of the reminder @janton because, already a few pieces have crept back.
I looked out some articles to give to my friend who was visiting at the weekend and then forgot to give them to him.
Similarly I put aside a receipt book to see if my daughter wanted it before I threw it away.
Then there's an odd sock that is waiting for it's partner and my old fit which which I left there as a reminder to delete my account.
It's the beginning of the slippery slope! ๐
hahaha! yes Ma'am it's called living your life! God bless you!
It was a pleasure this week jibber jabbering with you @janton :) Even with my two days off, I think I did ok? But there is no catching up with you buddy!!
howdy today my friend! well...with you taking two days off..that's a scary thought because if you hadn't you would be dangerously close..yikes! that thought sends shivers down my spine! lol.
now don't take that the wrong way now..not shivers like from seeing The Creature from the Black Lagoon or anything!
I'm stepping it back this week, already behind my schedule. internets been down out here off and on, it was off for hours yesterday!
@janton, what's scary is that you actually think I can keep up with you :) We'll see what the numbers say next week, but remember, talk is cheap buddy ๐
you'll see. I'm telling the truth. I guarantee it. just watch.
Ok, I believe you! A God-fearing man such as yourself, wouldn't lie about that ๐
already way down on comments this week. now if someone can reel in Lynn from bothering me.
If you're late to the party signing in 19 hours ago (as of this writing), I must have missed it entirely.
Congratulations, once again, on No. 1 and basically owning all the records on the engagement end. I think I said that in my other comment, but it bears repeating.
It's nice to be back, I think. You don't want to compete against me. Right. Whatever. I don't think there is a competition here. Not yet. It's Janton and the rest of us. Sounds like a band name. Janton and the Engagers! Something like that.
Well, I do hope you get your yard work back to where you think it should be, and now that you've committed to it here on this post... :)
Nothing! You can do whatever you want.
I'm not scary at all. I am going after the CL record, though. :)
hey Glen! Janton and the Engagers lol! I like the sound of that it's very catchy. you have the CL record don't you? or did I accidently break that?
Nope. It's yours. You beat it by 15,000, and I exceeded it by 4,000. So, your total last week is the new all-time high, dating back to February 25 of this year when Asher started posting the actual data points. Before that it, was only point totals.
I'm already working on taking it back. The rest of the records would all be great to have, but I don't see me going over 1,000 comments anytime soon. I'll be fortunate to get up to 400. :)
oh I can totally see you taking that back, in fact I'm sure of it, I've never seen anyone who can write so much! lol.
It's my pleasure @janton, you very much deserve this boost. I am keen to see you reach 500 SP asap and hope that this (and the 'weekly' prize) will aid this cause.
Massive thanks must go to @curie for the continued sponsorship of the Leagues, they have sent another 8 weeks STEEM over :D
Thanks again for your contributions to our blockchain, and well done on 1st place yet again!
Asher
