Above all, remember to show up every day! That cannot be emphasized enough, although you may have to have been here for a while to fully appreciate how much it matters. Hive truly is the sort of project

Yellowjackets and wasps are just nasty pieces of work... some of the more aggressive variants seem to get mad for no reason other than "they can." That second shot reminds me of a red hornet...

In some ways this whole thing touches on the greater question of what "ownership" is, and what sorts of things you can "own." In many ways, ownership causes a lot problems in the world...

Thanks for the post... she's another new name for me; always curious and gave her a listen. Seems like some good stuff mixed with a bit of "mainstream clubby" sound which I am less fond of. Been

I do love sushi, and Japanese food in general. Growing up in Denmark, it was not something we ever had access to, at least not back when I was a youngster and still living here. Being on the US west coast

I has been cool to watch your cats grow from wee kittens to beautiful adult cats. Pets, in general, are really awesome... and typically a nice point of sanity in a generally crazy world! And yes, the

Some beautiful shots! There's something very special about late afternoon photography during the "golden hour," as painters used to call it.

You're quite right @acidyo: most content on Hive would not get paid anything on more "conventional" sites that pay contributors for content. And there have been many, going back all the way to

The imbalances here in the USA seem to be getting worse and worse; we are now in a place where the majority of the population (53%, last I read) cannot afford their lives... meaning that they have to forego

It's definitely a long and ongoing process! The only time I really felt like I had my world down to a "manageable" size was over a 2-year period when I got a divorce, went bankrupt and moved

It's a nice thought, to be sure! Not thinking it will happen for me, but I am actively trying to manage my life in such a way that I will be able to "work" at things that are mostly relaxing

I'd say that for me change is something that mostly happens slowly and gradually. I'm never likely to be the first to rush into a new trend or technology, and I never was; in many cases I'm likely to be

Change is definitely inevitable... but I try to direct the changes, rather than just "letting them happen TO me."

I tend to be of the persuasion that I am very thorough in determining what I really want in my world... and I will make the necessary sacrifices to get there; but once I have created that particular comfort

For me, the main thing is to continue to operate within what I'd consider "the realm of reality." Some things may need to be "modified" to reflect that I can do them full time.

Well, I expect $100 Hive is a dream, but dreamers gotta dream. I know back on the "old chain" the token got briefly up past $8.00 and looking at how much ongoing development we have here, I think

Yes, being near the water is great. Even when I lived inland, our house was on a large creek and there was the sound of running water... which I find to be very relaxing "white noise."

Thank you! I have always found nature to be one of the best ways for me to get out of being "in a mood" or just stressed, in general.

You bring up an important point there: What is the motivation? There is a huge difference between highlighting yourself and tearing down someone else. It's constructive vs. DE-structive. I prefer to stay

There is definitely a lot of wisdom to not get involved in other people's pain and suffering, particularly if they are not interested in getting help OR in feeling better. And yes, most of us have our
