RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁
@janton, you're a machine. Congratulations on another win. It's been crazy watching you journey, but you've found a way to grow your account and you do the activities well. Congrats on another week at the top.
Congrats to all the new winners as well. We're seeing a lot of new faces at the top. That's exciting!
@lynncoyle1 and @glenalbrethsen, I miss the days when it was the three of us fighting for the top spots, but Lynn, I know you were moving this last week. Glen, you've been helping your wife as she recovers. Good for both of you to be looking out for your families. Maybe one day we'll all meet at the top again.
I've been away more than present for the last few weeks. Other projects have been taking my time, so I haven't been around as much. I'm still hoping to make a comeback at some point. Something that will more than get me a "0 self-votes" prize. So watch out! :D
@abh12345, thanks for running the numbers and being so faithful to put out this post. You're the man!
Thank you @themanwithnoname; they were simpler times ... me, you, Glen, Gillian...black and white tv, lemonade on the porch, lamenting the "youth these days" LOL
I was just sitting on the back porch a little while ago. I was enjoying the sunset and talking with my wife. Good times, good time.
Are you all moved into the new place?
Yes we are moved in, and i was all ready to post about it today, but we had a minor mishap with a drunk driver on our scooter :( We're ok, but sore; i did a post with more details (obviously haha), because I'm about to get off of here and lie down now.
I'm sorry to hear that! Wrecks are no fun on their own, but I can imagine that on a scooter it might be worse. I'm glad you're ok. It sounds scary. Get some rest and keep us posted when you have a chance.
Thank you and yes, it was scary! I wrote a quick post yesterday because I figured I'd be out to the game here for a few days. I'm just checking in now for a few minutes, but truthfully, I'm too sore to sit at my laptop :)
Hope you're well!!
I have your post open in a tab. It's not one that I want to skip over. Thanks for checking in. Rest up and get better soon!
Wait. There was lemonade, a back porch and TV?! Man, have I been missing out. I just thought we were lamenting the youth. :)
Sorry, man. We must have forgotten to tell you about the lemonade. It was on the back porch where the TV was. That's all gone now. All we have left is the lamenting the "youth these days." Maybe we can get a new tv soon. One of the "youth of today" stole it. And the porch burned down. And the lemonade went bad. Don't worry, things will get better soon.
hey, @themanwithnoname.
Thanks for the mention. It's nice not to be forgotten among all the young pups we have running around here now (new to the league is where I'm going with this). I'm not quite there yet, but I for one think someone, preferably a group of us 'old guard' folk, need to show people how things are done around here. I'd rather it be for more than just old time sake though. I'm not feeling like it's time for me to be turned out to pasture quite yet. Not by you, obviously. Just by life's circumstances.
As it is, I've got another 10 days before I can try to get back into the flow of things. So, really week after next is the first time I'll have to try to mount any serious attack of any kind on the mountain. Hopefully @janton won't be bored with it all by then. :)
My wife is doing pretty well. It's hard to know what's going on with her insides, but outwardly she seems to be getting better. We're still trying to restrict her activity until she's told otherwise by the surgeon, but she already has a greater range of movement and seems to be picking up speed. We've been walking almost every day and I think that's been helping her.
Absolutely! You've been a consistent part of my experience since the time that you found one of my posts on the NFL playoffs shortly after I started. These new kids aren't going to replace you. :D
I'm not sure if life's circumstances are trying to turn me out to pasture either. We have to fight against it and see what happens. It's pretty much a roll of the die.
It sounds like you're going to be busy for a little while, but that also means you can save up ideas and rest your typing fingers so you'll be ready when you mount that assault.
I'm glad to hear your wife is doing well! Walking tends to help with many different recoveries. It's strange how such a simple activity can do so much good for the body. It's nice though. And you're getting to spend time with someone you care about, so it's a win-win. Although you do have less time to spend on steemit, so maybe that factors in too. I don't know.
I didn't remember the NFL playoffs posts being you, so I went to go look. Definitely you, obviously, and there was a post before it I commented on about the Steemit delegation we got being halved or something.
Good times, good times. :)
My main issue right now is using the little time I do have to do something here. I'm not on 24-hour call anymore, but there's still the potential for it because my wife is at home. Since she has been feeling better, she's been wanting more done around the place. It's hard to gain any momentum when you could be called away at any minute, so I'm tending to waste time doing whatever, which really makes no sense at all, but that's where my brain and will are taking me right now.
We'll know more about how she's doing next week when she goes to the surgeon, but she does seem to be doing okay. I keep trying to convince her she should call and talk to someone about the aches, swelling, pinching, pain, whatever, but so far, she just wants to wait. I'd probably be worse if I were in her shoes, so I don't know if I should be trying to push seeing the doctor or not. I have no idea what's within the normal parameters or to be expected outside what the surgeon told us and gave us in writing. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV.
Man, you must have been scrolling for a while to get back there. I've thought about it, but there's no easy way to search by a date range or something.
Interesting that we were already talking about the delegations. It was a frustrating time. I'm so glad to be out from under the delegation curse. Those were hard days to see it disappear just as fast as I earned it. Now I tend to get around 1-2 Steem per day in rewards, so it wouldn't take me too long, but at the time it was torture.
I understand the "doing whatever" because you might get called away at any moment. It's harder to focus on something when you know that you could be interrupted at any second... and then you'd lose your place.
I'm sorry it's not healing as quickly as you'd both like, and that there are some minor complications. Hopefully they're able to clear things up when she sees the doctor next week.
I'm not a doctor, I just look things up on WebMD. Ha!
