RE: Flooding and Mist- MyPictureDay Submission
Great photos...too bad about the results in your basement and you and your wife's stressful day though. I read thru the comments; this is in the suburbs of Chicago?? That's crazy. My folks are in Southern Ontario right near the Windsor/ Detroit border, and they said the weather has been so erratic this winter.
...and I would say that the great tragedy here is that you sold your Super Nintendo :)
Yes it's the suburbs of Chicago. The photos were from pretty far out as it's 45 minutes from my home and that is almost all highway driving.
Your parents have probably felt a lot of the same oddness we did. It was warm and really dry for the most part, then we just got crushed the last month of winter. Personally I'd rather a normal spread out amount of winter...the cold and snow coming over a period of a couple months vs extreme weather over a short time.
Honestly I had been debating selling it for a while, but wasn't sure exactly where it was. A giveaway from @o07 made me think about it. So it worked out perfect as it paid for the new pump and will replace a few small items that were on the floor. Seriously it was like leaving $250 sitting in a box and never using it.
@lynncoyle1 BTW, for the curate league you might want to consider setting my posts to an autovote with steemdunk (or other service). Tend to pay to upvote them to add exposure as I'm trying to gain followers so as long as you are in front of them you should get some good curation rewards ;) . So far each post I've done this with I've about broke even I think...but have gained some multiple followers and upvotes from hitting the hot page. Don't have the funds to reach trending...lol. Not 100% sure if the ROI is really worth it, but plan to continue for at least the next month.
Thank you so much for the suggestion; my internet is down and I'm trying to do this on my phone, and it is an unbelievable pain in the you know what:) I'm heading to the beach (sorry to say that after seeing your last post!), before I throw this across the room haha
I'll check it out for sure though later!
Hope you enjoyed the beach!
I only use Steemit on my computer...heck it's temperamental enough on a great internet connection and high end laptop. Can't imagine trying on my phone. Best of luck with your internet...hope you are back up and running soon.
ok I'm back up and running! Yes, I used my phone to respond to you then wondered why I was even attempting it. The beach was beautiful today; I actually took some photos of a really cool street art/mural and posted about it, but went philosophical with it. I would love to hear your honest opinion about it.
If you got $250 for the Nintendo, good on ya! You're right, why leave it sitting in a box?
Is SteemAuto the same? I've joined two curation trails there and they have a 'fan' following area I think I can use to autovote you. You might be interested in one of the curation trails. @davemccoy set it up, called @friendsofgondor to help the "healing" during @fulltimegeek's 'battle' here. I set mine for 3% which then leaves 97% for me to still use.
I'm going to sort out your autovote tonight though; I always like your posts and honestly, you are very generous with legit comments and I appreciate that. I can be your guinea pig with this one and we can later analyze it to see how mutually beneficial it all is :)
Oh guess what? It's night time here and I just got back from a walk and wandered by that "poison above the door" photo that you suggested to take a pic at night...Done! I'll post that one later too.
Wow I just re-read this and sound like a crazy-excited kid running in circles hahaha Talk soon :)
I don't know SteemAuto, been using SteemDunk. You can set the time of the vote (number of minutes after posting), how many posts per day to vote on for the author, and what percentage to vote (even if you don't have the slider bar).
Will have to look at the curation trail for the battle. Been giving some votes here and there to help out.
Oh and love your new post! and can't wait to see the night photo. Glad you remembered.
I just set it up on SteemAuto. It defaults to vote at 0 minutes; what do you think I should set that at? I can also change the percentage, but because it's you, left it at 100 :) And it's set to upvote all of your posts. I guess I'll just have to watch for notifications then of the automatic vote so I can comment, because that is what I like to do.
Don't do 0 minutes, that would give 100% of the curation reward back to me (the author). At 30 minutes you keep 100% of the curation rewards earned. This is the whole thing of wanting to be early, but not to early.
Now most people that have me set up tend to upvote before 30 minutes, so maybe around 22 minutes would get you in before the other ones. Think most of my autovotes are set for 22-24 minutes.
I try to make the paid upvotes happen after 30 minutes, but sometimes I do it with a few minutes before just because it happens to be when a bot I like is available.
No matter what I think you will come out ahead if you are commenting on my posts as my upvotes of comments tend to be pretty good to keep rewarding my followers. Looking at leasing even more SP in a couple weeks once my schedule calms down and I can put it to better use. Thinking of leasing myself up to 2000 total SP to jump start my account. Will be able to hand out some nice upvotes at that point.
Thank you so much for the info! I set it for 22 minutes; it's good to go.
I've thought about the leasing before, but I'm going to hold off on that one.
Thanks again...get posting :)
