Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 5 (3 AWESOME NEWBIES!)
A WONDERFUL FRIEND TO THE COMMUNITY @THEDARKHORSE HAS CAME UP WITH A GREAT CONTEST TO HELP MINNOWS SUCCEED AND GET RECOGNIZED FOR GOOD HARD WORK.
It is called the Pay-It-Forward Curation Contest
This contest is doing a great job at getting new people who deserve to be noticed recognized for their good work.
This is a link to his contest in case you would like to participate in helping some new fish get their good content noticed.
##So, for my first run at helping you new guys out using this contest here are my three nominees. ##

2.@NEWBIERESTEEMDAY
This is a group of very awesome people. Who are doing the same thing the contest is doing, trying to help new people succeed. I nominate them knowing that I'm not sure if they qualify. But what they do for the community and the interactions that they have and the way they engage the new people makes me feel that they deserve it, so I'm going to do it. They resteem content from deserving newbies for free. This means I can't give you a link to THEIR most recent post. But here is a link to the most recent post that they resteemed.(I hope me doing this doesn't disqualify me, however if it does I understand and it is completely okay.)

Wow that sounds great, I will check that out;-) Thanks for sharing this valuable information!
So glad you decided to join in the fun!
I think they decided last week that community accounts are allowed if it is under 50 rep. You should be ok. Anyway I will make the rounds this evening to visit everyone.
Thanks for taking part.
Sorry it took so long for me to get back with you. I'm pretty sure I'm okay. They gave me an entry number, so we'll see.☺ Thanks for everything you do for me and the community!
Quick change, my handle is @thedarkhorse, you missed the "the" at the start.
Thanks for your entry. Have upvoted all the featured blog posts.
Fixed, dear friend. I apologise for that. And thank you for everything you are doing.
WoW @johndoer123
I'd have to say straight off you have phenomenal taste, an amazing eye for excellence 😉
LOL thank you 😄
In all honesty I'm very grateful for the support. You made me smile 😃
Latest in home safety is guard bulls instead of dogs, they are said to Beef up security
😂 🤣😂 🤣
First off, I'm glad I made you smile. That makes me feel good. and yes I would say I have Exquisite taste. And as far as dogs versus bulls for home protection.
I split it down the middle, and bought a Pitbull.😁
Great answer.... Pitbull taking it to a new level 😉
you need to change your second entry to the link that you put in . its not right to use him to promote someone else so I would use @ phillyc instead of newbierestreemday . check with @thedarkhorse
But something needs to be done and quick
you will also need to tell him you entered him in the contest
I tried as hard as I could to follow all of the rules. This is about the third time I've been asked to change something.I just think maybe this game isn't cut out for me. As maybe it's too complicated. In an effort to prevent wasting everybody's time, I will not enter again. I'm so sorry and I've caused so many problems. I hope you have a wonderful day and I send all of my love until we meet again.
Your picks and intent are the best ! . You have not caused any problems . The people you have entered are better off for it and that is the goal . Why we do this . The exposure is key for their steemit journey and you helped them accomplish it
@wolfhart, I would like to apologise to you personally for how I responded to you.😖I was flustered that day. I definitely shouldn't have came off so course. My friend was in the middle of almost dying in the hospital and I was forced out of his room so that they could try to save him. I decided to get on steemit to Try to get my mind off things. I didn't handle myself well. And so I apologize for that too. Thank you though for being so understnding.I really feel bad about that.
I Hope your friend is doing better and wish him a speedy recovery
I am glad you came on Steemit to help deal with the situation . No one would handle the situation well . If you can't hoot and holler at friends then who can you to . No apology necessary . Water under the bridge
Thank you for all your support and there are times when each of us need a little support too :)
That's very gracious of you to be so understanding. And unfortunately, it is almost certain he is going to rejoinour Creator at the Source. And I am glad for him in that aspect. However to watch him suffer in the way he does kills me. He is suffering from some form of auto immune disease that despite all the specialists that he has seen, they can't figure out. He routinely goes blind and paralyzed for hours to days at a time. They thought it was devics disease and transverse myelitis and we're treating it as such. Only for them to find out later that they were wrong and that the medicine was making it worse and adding new symptoms and concerns. He owns his own construction business and goes to work every single day he is not sick. And then there is his wife and 3 year son, beautiful people who are by his side as he suffers. It is his suffering as he fights to stay alive for his family, and then the families suffering itself that is the part that tears my heart to pieces. He is currently waiting on a spot in The Mayo Clinic if he can make it long enough to to in. I don't say all this to be a bummer. I am glad he will be with our Creator soon, if that is his path. He will soon know only love and complete peace and freedom from his pain.
Once again thanks for your understanding and compassion. Should you ever need anything please let me know. If I can help, I will. I wish you the best and I hope to continue to see you around friend.
Aww @johndoer123, I'm so sorry you feel this way. You have not caused any problems whatsoever and I appreciate all that you do to promote others, including entering this contest. I hope to see you next week again! :)
I was flustered that day. I definitely shouldn't have came off so course. My friend was in the middle of almost dying in the hospital and I was forced out of his room so that they could try to save him. I decided to get on steemit to Try to get my mind off things. I didn't handle myself well. And so I apologize for that too. Thank you though for being so understanding, and sweet. I really feel bad about that comment I wish I would have never left it.
Well then, consider it "never left". If anyone had a reason to be a little "off", it was you, so I've already forgotten about it, you should too :)
☺Good I'm over it. You know what's the hardest part for me when I take on situations like this?(friend in hospital) Having to be the strength for the ones I'm supporting. Maintaining my composure and not breaking down as I watch everyone in a room break down. Being able to still be the one able to offer words of hope and comfort, and not fall apart. I am crying now, thinking of the little girl standing in the court room as the monster who crarred her for the rest of her life was released due to a "technicality". The defeat and diaster in her mom's eyes as her only daughter collapsed to the floor crying. The judges head dropping in shame of what he was forced to do I the name of "the law". The jury's consolidated gasp as he was set free. All so surreal at the time And there I am to counsel that family, having daughters at home myself. I have to stop. I'm so sorry for the ramble, I guess I just needed that.
Please don't apologize. I know strength, but I don't know how you deal with that kind of thing. Feel free to 'ramble' anytime. That's what I'm here for buddy! Give your girls a big hug tonight...that's what you can do! :)
Thank you. That means more then you can imagine.
Thanks alot @johndoer123,
you have helped me so much by giving me a chance to play in your fun game, I really do not think that you have also promoted my post and introduced me to other users ... I am very happy because this is a greatest appreciation during my journey in steemit ..with your help I have received upvote from @wolfhart who want to upvote and appreciate the results of my post with his very valuable comments and @thedarkhorse also ever upvote me..once again I say thanks for you @ johndoer123 for helping minnow like me..big hug for you :)
You deserve it my friend. Like I've always said, if you work hard it will pay off. This is the least that I could do for you for how much you have supported me and also because you do so good here on steemit. And I give you big hugs back and all of my love.
