RE: The Stain of Mordred part 12.
I do, it's been doing weird stuff lately. I'll make a correction and when I hit post it changes back... It's weird and annoying. Where ya been the last week or two?....
me? where you been the last month? lol.
You've slowed a bit yourself... It has been a rough month, and last week took the cake. This week has been a bit better though. Last week was the cherry on top of an insane 2-month stretch. I was beginning to wonder what was going on.
I'll just expand on last week.
Monday sucked with work. Then I screwed up and sent $250 in ERC20 tokens to the wrong address. I copied the wrong ETH address and sent them to my Coinbase ETH wallet. Coinbase does not support ERC20 tokens, they are sitting in the wallet but I cannot access them and Coinbase will not give me access to the private key, so I could use a block explorer to send them to the correct address.
Tuesday my daughter wrecked her car, $5700 worth and 3 weeks to get the parts. (stupid import) She hit a car parked in the road on the other side of a small hill. Busted the front end all up, radiator, AC coil trashed, I had to drive an hour to pick her up.
Wednesday she was driving my car taking her boyfriend home and blew a tire in the middle of town, I'm talking shredded, holes in the sidewalls etc. The rest had about 15k left so I ended up replacing all 4.
Thursday my other daughter was riding with her boyfriend when his car starts to shake and swerves off the road on a straight away. They jump the ditch up a bank and spin around a few times, miss a telephone pole and brick mailbox by about 3 feet. Totals his car, the good this is a sheriff was coming from the other direction and saw it happen. Tie rod end broke...
Friday my daughter's jeep won't start, battery went bad. She jumped it off once but got stranded again. Once I get my car back from my other daughter. I drive over, buy a battery go to change it and realize that my son has removed a large portion of my tools from that toolbox...
Saturday, I get a call from a contractor I have been doing a lot of work for. He says something happened with a deposit....(weird never calls on Saturday) Then calls back a bit later(crying I might add) to tell me that he lied, that he has used the money to pay back taxes and keep his house and a few other things. I knew something was not right and had been bugging him to get paid, but for some reason the hospitals that paid fairly well had all of the sudden stopped paying. So basically he's looking at bankruptcy and can't pay me for the work I've been doing for the last 3-4 months, to the tune of about 30K.
Sunday morning the contractor calls me back to ask me to pray for his mother who is dying and that he will probably be out of touch for a few days. She passed Monday morning, and he's been pretty much silent since.
The good thing is no one was seriously hurt, just a bit sore and a busted lip. Then there is at least one small payment left on one contract I was working on, so if I can talk them into sending the payment to me instead of him it might be a plus... (doesn't sound like they can because of the contract)
sir coins and chains..oh my gosh! what a horrible couple of weeks. that is a string of bad luck or attacks by the enemy that one just doesn't see very often, like whatever can go wrong WILL go wrong!
I'm so sorry to hear about all that..and it would have been bearable without the loss of all that contract money!
I'll be praying that you recover fast and the God opens better contracts for you.
I appreciate that. It's all good though, it was only money and things. They make more of both every day.
My wife and I both felt like it was attacks, we must have made someone mad, or needed a distraction. I don't know it was just weird all the way around...
howdy again sir coinsandchains! well sir, lets hope it was a one-time thing.
Any brilliant plans on how to make money on steemit? lol.
I've got a couple but I have not had the time to implement any of them yet. Plus it takes a bit of steem or money to really make money....
How about you any great ideas you need help with? My first order of business is to make a few steem just so I can keep up my current commitments on here. I figure I'll do the writing contest again this weekend, at least this time it's a good company, the last ones were so crappy I couldn't even bring myself to write about them.
No sir I don't have any ideas, I guess the sbi's are one of the best ways, then there's upvoteshares which people are real happy about and I heard that ocdb pays 50% more back to you in votes for whatever amount you send to them but they have to look at your stuff and whitelist you I guess.
All I know is keep building my account by trying to win some steem and posting.
That last sentence, who were crappy companies? I thought the writing contest was for each person to add a section to the story.
I ran into that OCD stuff, and asked them how do I get white listed... They told me that I would have to write something that OCD noticed and thought was good first.... Like that's going to happen with my piddly account.
I was talking about the originalworks contests, where a company sponsors it and you write a piece about their company. I got about 3.5-4 steem last time between a tweet about it and 2.5 from them and then about $.80 to $1.00 in upvotes. Here's the current one It has to be posted by Tuesday evening. https://steemit.com/crypto/@originalworks/1300-steem-sponsored-writing-contest-onamn
