My Reply To: The Love it/Shove it Challenge
Somehow I missed this great challenge that @sweetpea issued out to all the good Steemians out there, and if you are interested then you can read about the rules here:
https://steemit.com/loveitshoveit/@snowpea/the-love-it-shove-it-challenge
Love it
- @davemccoy for always keeping me in mind for good things on Steemit like this, and always making everything on Steemit just that little bit better :)
- @moneyinfant for our friendly rivalry to find new writing contests (I have a lot of catch up to do)
- @charisma777 for her outstanding job on IFC (and @apolymask for getting it up and running - the inaugural Quest Giver)
- @bengy for stalking me on Discord (or is it me stalking him on Discord?) and all the things that he is involved in on Steemit while juggling a busy musician's life
- @laurawhite for being such a good example of a new comer that embraces the community - and even setting a goal to finish reading the white and blue paper!
Hate it
- current STEEM price
- my low voting power :p
- not being able to spend more time on Steemit
- that it costs you to post on some of the Steem blockchain apps: https://steemit.com/steemit/@fabiyamada/is-it-posting-free-analyzing-the-steem-platforms
- that I still don't really understand how SMTs are going to work
Honorable mentions (love it)

Sorry about all the people that I didn't mention here, but there are just too many :p
Hey @plushzilla, I'm curating for @asapers and I believe you are a member? I'm going to pass this post along to hopefully get put in our next newsletter highlighting members' posts:) They are similar to @newbieresteemday, so I love combining the two went I'm out on a hunt;) You should think about including both banners at the bottom of your posts. I can drop you the links here for them if you'd like, then you only have to copy and paste them at the bottom of your future posts...if you're interested;) Cheers!
I was thinking about running my bingo game for different groups to encourage more engagement (as with most things that I try to do here). Not sure if you are interested but I am happy to run a contest and see if it gets the same kind of traction as it did on newbiegames. I actually reached out to a lot of people after seeing their names appear on many people's bingo cards (like your name :)).
I kind of swap my banners all the time to support different groups and artists on Steemit so I am not very well organized in that regard :p If you have the links I would be happy to use them at some point as well :)
Awesome! I'm so glad my name appeared somewhere then ;)
Here's the link for @asapers Discord channel https://discord.gg/KKzNw2X and like @newbieresteemday, there's a spot where you can leave your "contest" post.
Here's the banner too ;)
Thanks for putting me in the good category @plushzilla! And while I know it is tough for the old guys to see, we are getting a chance for a do over with the prices dropping again. I am very confident we will be better off within a few months (mainly because your friends will grow) ...
and also to show you our appreciation, you earn a newbie nickel for such a good post! This one is courtesy of @danielsaori!
Good reminder to go over and put an entry in this week's contest :)
yes... good idea! Today is the cutoff :P

STOPWhat a smart idea! Good job @plushzilla (>‿◠)✌
You should try writing one too, I am sure you will enjoy it!
Thank you so much for the 'honourable mention'!! That was very kind of you to do :) Your 'love it' list is a good one for sure, and I'm sorry, but I chuckled at your VP...mostly because it looks like mine haha
I used to think that my VP couldn't possibly get lower than my reputation, but these days I can never get my VP higher than my reputation :D
haha I know the feeling. @davemccoy told me just to stop upvoting for a few days, but I said it feels like walking into a fancy dinner party without a bottle of wine:) I did however, take his advice, and didn't upvote for 2 days and it made a huge difference. That was last week though...presently I'm back in the same low VP boat haha
There are two schools of thoughts on this (and I don't really know which to follow): keep turning up to fancy dinner party with a six pack of beer or just go to the occasional one with a bottle of wine... and hopefully the wine that you bring is not something cheap and nasty from the convenient store :D
hahaha I'd take the six pack any day fyi ...on steemit and in real life ;)
And seriously, I try desperately to upvote anyone who comments on my own posts. I may not have enough power to continue to upvote if it becomes a conversation, but everyone gets at least one. When I'm wandering around, I'll upvote everyone's post once, but again, I may not have enough power to upvote an entire thread of comments. I tried to stop worrying about it, but I must admit, it's always at the back of my mind. I do look to see if someone keeps upvoting me in a thread, and if they do, I try to return the favour. So for the record, let's each not feel bad about it, even if it's just when you and I are commenting back and forth!
...and now I feel like a beer ;)
Looks like you are way overdue for a delegation (or three)! Given your ranking on Asher's League of Excellence I should think that someone will be happy to provide you with a boost... but as I keep telling Dave it is what he can do without the SP that never ceases to amaze me, and the same to you as well :)
Thanks for putting me in good bucket! Some familiar names in the complete list (including the mentions!), I love how we are all growing together. Despite our different interests and communities, we keep crossing paths!
I do hate it that you are so much more organized than me when it comes to committing to your posting on Steemit (not really, I do love your contests and reading your posts) :D
Ha, it's only because I've been on tour over the last month. We'll see how it will go when I get back to family life!
I love that you chose to make your love it list centered around all your great friends on Steemit! Thanks for participating! :)
Of course! None of my family are on Steemit :p But I have definitely made plenty of new friends here :) Love the challenge and your posts on topics related to education and family :)
Thank you for mentioning me @plushzilla :)
I hated the current steem power too, it's just so low and I hope it'll rise soon! And same here, TIME! I need more time to write and engage on Steemit! Guess we're on the same hates hahahaha :D
Hope you are less busy now but since I am writing less it becomes easier to curate and vote more :p I have been spreading the word about the 5 love languages as you might know from a couple of mentions. Hopefully I will get time to do a couple of posts to try and get some research information :)
Oh my, thank you so much for putting in the effort to spread the 5 love languages, @plushzilla. I'm really really touched T_T
That's another bright side of not able to post, but you've got time to curate, vote and comment more, which is also another secret to success in Steemit :)
You are absolutely right... although lately I haven't been able to post or curate very much at all :p There are definitely more ways we can contribute and help each other :)
G.R.E.A.T J.O.B!!
You're making a difference!
Hi @plushzilla . I am happy to see I'm not the only one with a low VP! Although I was slightly better than you being in the 50s. I just got it up to the 60s by staying away from steemit most of the day.
I can relate to the shove its. Steemit is an ever learning platform. i'm not sure how both communities and SMTs are supposed to work. We will see!
