OPERATION MEALWORM aka "SAVE THE SPIDERS" - One Last Chance for @papa-pepper to Help Out This Year

in #help9 years ago

Late last night on steemit, I came across a cry for help.


Since, Papa cares, Papa had to take action. The post was titled "Please Help Me Save My pets" and was posted by @timbo. The poor guy is basically stranded in the middle of nowhere, broke, with hungry spiders to feed.

Desperate for assistance, he posted on steemit to see who could help. I quickly responded and told him I would try.

This morning, I drove a half hour away from home to the nearest town.



Then I raced to the only pet store in town, hoping that they could help.



Amazingly, I was able to get the last tub of mealworms that they had!



I quickly packaged the tasty little critters for shipment.



And soon, they were on their way.

The estimated delivery date is Tuesday, so we will hope that they make it to @timbo in time. I know the difficulties of hungry pets, remote locations, and being broke, so my heart goes out to @timbo in this situation.


Please keep us posted on what happens man!

I'd like to offer up a moment's silence of gratitude to the selfless mealworms who will give up their lives so that spiders may live.

I think there was about 35 mealworms in that tub, so I'll take a half-hour of silence in their honor.

It's good to remember their sacrifice.

Thanks so much for checking out the post and for your ongoing support.

Happy New Year @onceuponatime!

Hi @papa-pepper
I hope you and your family have a fantastic 2017!

Thanks @rynow, the same to you and yours!

I, I, I am floored. I don't know what to say... and that doesn't happen often.

Thank you so much my friend, thank you so much!

You are so welcome, please keep us posted.
Should be there Tuesday!

I can hardly wait, and I will post pics/videos when I feed them if it is worth posting. I will absolutely post updates on the condition of the spiders, as well as show you what I am setting up for the meal worm farm. I am so excited about this actually!

Glad to hear!

You are totally awesome, papa! Hopefully the mealworms get there in time. I missed the initial call for help as I've been pretty much offline for a bit. I'm trying to get myself on a schedule because being away from Steemit feels terrible!
Anyway... Happy New Year to you and your family.
You are truly special. XOXOX

Great to hear from you, and Happy New Year @merej99!

If you want, please check out my "Rockin the Mic on Steemit" post and see if you want to join in.

Very cool!
I just left a message on that post. I've never been very good at "jammin" but I can try, but this is exactly the stuff I'm looking for to promote and launch using the @collabornation account. I need to get myself more organized, but ideally, I'd like to share the posting key to that account to "key holders"/collaborating upstarts to build that account for SBD and STEEM distribution to the collaborators from a centralized location.

Yeah, i checked the activity on that account and was going to mention something, but not too much activity.

I'll probably put together a partial song with some submissions and then repost to encourage more collaboration.

Nice work. Lots of people in need.

There sure is @barrydutton... but it looks like steemit is helping in more ways than one.

Happy New Year Brother!

Congratulations on your action my friend@papa-pepper
Wish for you and all your loved ones, will meet all your expectations for this wonderful 2017
Happy 2017 year

Thanks my friend!

Happy New Year @jlufer!

nice thing you did there papa-pepper. Karma will find it's way to bless you in the future. Happy New Year!

What a great way to end the year!

Amazing! to help out someone in need is important.

It is important, in fact, I seem to remember once when someone helped a certain papa who was locked out of steemit.chat.

Happy New Year @steemitqa!

That seems like ages ago ,but you are right. We need to help each other out as much as we can

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALSO!

It meant a lot to me, still does... probably even will next year!
