RE: Steemit: The Curation Leagues - SBD and Delegation Prizes!
Congratulations @davemccoy for being the topper again this week!! (I know this will be a repetitive process in the coming weeks).
You are really creating a war of messages with your own messages and the difference in points between first and second position shows, how much effort you have spent on writing the comments alone!! Oh, you are awesome.
I have to agree #newbieresteemday has given me an opportunity to know you and that has to be one of the best decisions I have made to join the team.
Happy to see that the people you encouraged to join the league are among the Top 20 and surely deserves an appreciation.
By now, I know @beeyou, @lynncoyle1, @bashadow, @themanwithnoname as part of our daily discussions on Discord though I am not much active for the last few days on those channels.
Keep up the good work and wish many more success for you as we move along.
haha.. I am now saving my replies to you til the end of the day if I can help it because we could go at it for hours... And I think you should take some credit for the week I had because we had several marathon convos! :)
I appreciate how you have not only guided us from above, but you've gotten down in the dirt with us as ell... Just like a farmer that wants to grow good crops, we have to roll up our sleeves and get the day to day work done too! You are taking the time to understand whether we are "hype" or "real"... And that is a very valuable thing that you are doing, whether you realize it or not.
All societies have separate "classes" of people that seem to evolve over time... While I wish it wasn't so and I don't think that way, there is no denying it is a natural tendancy in life. People usually want to associate with people in their class or above... But you don't view us as any less, and that makes what you are doing so special! You have rolled up your sleeves and given us ideas and helped us to grow hands on!
The great thing is that you will witness your first crops soon, and that is when it really gets fun!
As always, you are the coolest guy on steemit and (that's not just because you are @coolguy123!) ;)
Wow @davemccoy...from this Ontario farm girl, your 'farm metaphor' touched my heart and brought back some very vivid memories of really really hard work. I can thank my dad for my work ethic, and hopefully all of our efforts and dedicated work ethic will continue to bear fruit for years to come; I can see many buds flourishing already!
How's that for an addition to the metaphor?!...perhaps that can be a new contest :) What do you say @coolguy123? You in ?:)
Well, being a grandson of a farmer who dedicated all his life on farming, I know how joyful to roam in farms and how much hard work those people do no matter whether it's raining or under scorching sun,it's always a nice feeling to remember those moments and people.
Why not, let's explore all the new ideas you wonderful people get and have some fun working together. :)
Unlike my working days on the farm, it really is about having fun here and working together with like-minded people, isn't it :) Have a wonderful week, but I'm sure our paths will cross again before the end of it! Cheers!
Yeah, we are interacting and knowing about our likes.
Thanks for the wishes, we sure will be discussing on something as there are so many posts coming out on daily basis from team #newbieresteemday and of-course, we have SOG's stats from @abh12345 coming up in couple of days time.
Let's keep writing and keep working together :)
I'm in! Sounds perfect :)
I didn't know you were a farm girl :) ... Wow... no wonder you are so humble and nice!!! I think farmers (and their daughters ;) ) are the greatest people because they work hard every day to produce something instead of just consuming. Almost everyone I've ever met understand that you had to put something in to get something out!
In my field of work, its not like that... (finance)... There are way too many takers that think they have been gifted by God to take others' money as a reward for their brilliance. Its refreshing to be with people that give as well as the get!
Its very cool that you are a farm girl, now I can understand why you have such a lovely personality!
Hahaha Dave, there's a lot you don't know about me...yet!
I can look back at my days working on the farm with nostalgia, and of course it gave me a wicked work ethic, but when I put on my pair of 'realistic glasses', I remember a heck of a lot of hard work and hating to see the school year end and the summer begin! A lot of my 'city' friends could never really understand it haha
I'm glad to see that you obviously don't see yourself as a gift waiting to be rewarded!! You are the exact opposite; in fact, not to generalise too much, but when I first found out you were in finance, I remember saying to Brian that it just didn't seem to 'fit' the guy I was getting to know here! Perhaps you were a farmer in another lifetime :)
It's day time for me, so I have enough time to respond to you now Mr. big message writer, I mean Mr. Dave aka @davemccoy.
You know what, while most of the credit for me writing such lengthy messages goes to @abh12345 and some of the other SOG's, some part of that credit goes to you for making me interact with you so much with those responses, marathon ones as you said.
Well, the thing is I am still a redfish (not even a minnow) without the delegation from @fulltimegeek, and I have come this far because of that delegation and because of the interactions I am having on day to day with all of you and SOG's, so I won't forget that I am still a redfish and that makes me think like a many new joinees and enables me to do something for them with the help of groups like the one we are part of.
So, I don't want to belong to any particular class, instead mingle with all classes and do what best I could, though the time we have isn't enough to balance personal life and social life on Steemit.
Oh yeah, that will surely be fun and some proud moments when we witness that. :)
I can see that this week is going to be a huge challenge and Asher's computer better have some decent memory and storage to process and store all these comments!!! I almost feel it is unfair of to the others that we chat more than 5 times a day because we could win just with our own conversations... lol
I could tell from the minute I met you that you were real and didn't care that I was relatively new. You said the magic words that make me always perk up, "how can I help?". Right then I knew we were going to be connected and you've always made me feel like a teammate! I am not surprised that you don't belong to any class because you seem to just "like people"!
When I was running for congress over here in 2016 I had a tagline that said essentially, "Its not the Ds vs. the Rs, its "the people" vs. "the establishment""... At that time I was using facebook and one of my groups that I started, and definitely loved, it was "Team People".
One day I hope to revive that effort because its the people that matter to me too! ;)
ps... while I'm patient on when those crops sprout (you and Asher are also plants in our big garden), I expect when we get there we will be an amazing force for goodness!
Well, I didn't think it was possible at this point, but you just floored me. TEAM PEOPLE! This is from my very first post on Steemit:
We are One Tribe, the Human Species, we are all members of the same team, Team People!
In the same way, our body parts have to be "in tune" with with each other for the body to function properly, cooperation between members of Team People is necessary for the survival of our species.
As long as One person is homeless, hungry, or hurting, diseased, disabled or deceived, oppressed, outcast, or omitted, it affects Team People as the Whole.
When we all begin to understand that what we do for (or TO) another member of Team People, we are doing for (or TO) ourselves and ultimately for (or TO) all the Members of Our Team, we begin to see choosing to Love is the only sane choice for the survival of our species.
Love Every One as Ourselves. We the People, in tune with one another, have the power to create magnificent symphonies. We all have unique gifts to share, and gifts to receive, and the best way to learn is by Doing.
What would happen if everyone began to operate from a place of loving each other as ourselves? What could we accomplish for Team People as a Whole?
It's possible. It only takes One. What you do for One, you do for All.
I really DID find my tribe. Earlier, I was going to ask you if you had authored a book, your name was so familiar to me, I thought maybe I'd read your book. Now I know why your name sounded familiar! You ran for Congress! I'd love to hear about that!
I think that is not the case, why I say is that, if solely our comments are of that more, I would have been in top 3, but I am not and I am equally interacting with others as well, so no worries, @goldendawne said in some comment that she is not in leagues last week and I replied to your message that, even if we(me and you) have lengthy conversations or anyone for that matter, @goldendawne will come up with something else and will be in top 3. And the same happened in-spite of she telling she is not in the leagues.
And if you still feel we are unfair to others, then fine, let's cut down our conversations. :)
no no no... I was just kidding for sure!!! I completely enjoy our conversations and in no way do I want to "cut them down"!
I will gladly give away any prize that I win to be able to communicate with you @coolguy123.... So never take my sarcastic words seriously, I love our interactions :)
And yes @goldendawne is everywhere even if she says different, I saw that she said her mouse was out, but my guess is she found a way to still help at least 100 more people yesterday!!! ;)
And as far as you are concerned, I know that you are communicating with others. You speak really well through your comments and I'm sure you have as much fun with it as I do!!! :)
I look forward to seeing your comments and I'm excited when I see @coolguy123 in my steemworld page!!! Its always awesome to see what you have to say and to respond in kind!
lol- yeah- my mouse is still not working... dang Microsoft... but I'm still cruising steemit and working. I am becoming quite good with the touch pad on the laptop now. Watch out world! here I come!
I didn't think you would be "hobbled" long.... lol ... You said you were gonna wait for the Microsoft people and I said "sure sure, I 'm positive that Dawne will find a solution before Microsoft people do"... ;)
Thanks so much for the mention here @coolguy123:) This little operation is really becoming something, isn't it? I'm so glad to be a part of it as well...I think, with what @abh12345 is doing here adds to the foundation that we are all trying to create, and with a little elbow grease and some hard work, we are developing a community of friends, genuine relationships...it's the kind of things that money just can't buy. Cheers!
well said Lynn, couldn't agree more!!! I'm so happy to see everyone come together in this place in particular!
100% agree with you.
@abh12345's dedicated work on such things makes him on par with guys like @fulltimegeek, @wwf and some of the greats not part of #stewardsofgondor and hence the respect for him like others.
Happy to know some new guys every week as part of these curation leagues posts. The number of followers will grow automatically even if I am not interacting with the followers.
But, the number of friends will grow only when I interact with someone. :)
