RE: gratitude
Whale slap? Is that a thing? Yeah I'm delighted with my @tenkminnow slaps, so finally I get to make steem at three times what I made before, and my bottom line sinks anyway. Ah, Steem. You gotta love it.
You know what you did for me. To me it feels like you gave me wings. I'll be forever grateful.
It's a really good haiku, right?! I freaking love that one, so I put it in my posts whenever I can. Thank you for your comment on it!
If I had the power to "whale slap" your haiku and all your posts and comments, you'd be cyber-rich!
hahahaha! A new adage! Is that an adage, "if I had a nickel for every time..." What is that? a colloquialism?
An adage would be "If I had a nickel for every..." while a colloquialism might be new (I think), like "if I had a whale slap for every..." Off to go see. Meh! I was kinda close:
...the difference between colloquialism and adage is that colloquialism is a colloquial word or phrase; a common spoken expression, often regional while adage is an old saying, which has obtained credit by long use.
Well, "colloquial among Steemians," maybe, the whale slap....
That's been a big problem for me in steem, the jargon, the lingo, the colloquialisms, the Dr. Zuess-speak. I try to read steem guides for dummies, but I get lost before I've finished a single sentence. It's sink or swim! And a damn nickel is really hard to make in the first place on steem. So the "nickel" adage would have a steem counterpart something like "if I had a thousandth of a steem every time ...., I'd be cyber-rich"
OK that's enough of this, it's time for the Sopranos, culling forty years of photographs, and manifesting dreams of whale slaps (or waking up to a real one!) for every one I love on steem. xo
I hear you!!!
And I'd keep upvoting every comment you post, but even with my whopping 2-cent upvote, I use up voting power before noon each day if I upvote every comment and every post I love. :)
I've been slapping my 100% upvote around waaay too much lately, but I can't see why not. Does it make a difference to me, other than reducing the value of my vote, which is nearly worthless even at full VP? Half of nearly nothing is still nearly nothing, and a warm and fuzzy is always a warm and fuzzy. Is there something I should know?
Is there something you should know.... about not voting if your "power" has fallen below 90%? I don't know what you don't know and I don't know what I don't know! Eeep!
oh no it's not quite right. I'm tired. I need cookies. Thank you once again for your support. May you be slapped by a whale in your dreams tonight.
