Well, I've "been around" on Hive for a very long time, but I just haven't written about collecting before, for whatever reasons. I subscribed to this community a while back... but I am finally

It must be very difficult to manage, with the NGN having lost so much value since the middle of last year.

Thank you! The stamp collecting was started when I was very young, and it always interested me because I enjoyed writing letters the old fashioned way, and had people I knew all around the world.

Thanks for the welcome @mipiano! I do really collect all sorts of things, so it was not so easy to make a post to cover everything at once. This was just a taste, but I plan to come back with more posts

I can totally empathize with that. I suppose there are people out there for whom life turns out (more or less) as they had hoped/expected, and maybe that's the proverbial "carrot" that has somehow

Yes, there were certainly aspects of life that were easier, in childhood, and perhaps our teenage years. Life now is very "complicated," as you suggest... and perhaps we fall into the trap of

Yes, I would agree that those memories at least serve to help us stay positive in the now, regardless of whether the memories are accurate, or not.

I have always felt that cheating is really an expression of selfishness," more than anything else. You have to have a mindset where your own fun is always more important than other people's feelings.

I've got a few that are purely for the metal, but I like the historical and numismatic aspects; finding the details ant mint marks that make a particular item unique and more valuable.

Growing stuff is actually fun and rewarding, when you can eat it, at the end. And the Hive Gardening community is cool and has lots of good tips. I'm with you, tomatoes are abominations of another order.

Sometimes I do wish I had a better capacity to finish what I started. But I get a little ways into things, and then I spot something else I'd like to get involved with so I start that, and from that I

Historically, I have tended to not give up on projects... I have just postponed them more or less indefinitely!

Tengo might know something I don't, but I'm going to suggest you might be talking about @hivelist. Let me see if I can find the community... Here you go: It's a little easier to grok if you visit the actual

These challenges do tend to become a little more "bearable" when we're not doing them alone! Yes, you're welcome to tag me in related posts... @alchemystones will be doing the challenge, but

That's the thing about this... I also find it relatively easy to establish a routine at something I really like, but getting used to doing something that's necessary for what you're doing... that's a lot

Hi @nickydee, I guess we could set up a thread "container" on INLEO to house the posts and updates... kinda like people have been doing with music playlists and other stuff, there. If nobody

Thanks for the inspiration, Gillian! I just made an initial post about it on my @alchemystones art account, which is where I'll be participating from... probably not starting in earnest till next Tuesday,

Yeah, I just read Gillian's post via my art account, and then went on to post about it from there! I'm onboard there, for sure. I guess promoting it via Threads is not a bad idea!

Pretty much the same holds true here. To get your score up, it's not enough to just get credit cards, you have to use them...

Makes me wish I were "independently wealthy" enough to just buy a smaller house with cash, while still living in the old house... but no such luck!
