Yanno, I have never managed to complete NaNoWriMo... in part because I pretty much suck at writing fiction. But this might actually be something I have a realistic chance of completing. I'm gonna join

HBD is definitely a great "entry level" way to explain cryptos and get someone to dip their toes in our ocean. Ever since the 10% interest thing became a reality, I have been a lot slower to

Seems to be a growing trend. The "Coinstar" change machine at our local Safeway supermarket became "Bitcoin enabled" a couple of years back... ironically, you can't convert the change

I'm not sure whether anything much has changed... I know the hive.blog site has been very slow and "bumpy" lately but I mostly use PeakD. As for activity, I know there have been some changes

I still think it's extremely cool that you're able to find as many worthy things as you do! Definitely one of the benefits of living in a city vs. a small town... everything here gets "passed down"

Whereas I realize most of those new accounts are Splinterlands, it's still great to see so many new accounts being created. Sure beats the "alternative" we lived with for so very long... Thanks,

Yes, I remember the tomatoes... they seem to have done quite well for themselves! Thankfully, we only have a couple of houseplants that need to come in; most of the rest are more fragile (like African

For me, all seasons have their own sense of beauty... but even so I always seem to say that the season at hand is "my favorite."

Thank you...

Sorry to hear about your hubby's woes... that has to be awful! This thing just seems to drag on, and on, and ON... and people just end up feeling frustrated and helpless. I hope you two get some answers,

Thanks for the support @brumest, I appreciate it!

I do believe that striving to be present and mindful is often the best thing we can do... for ourselves, and for others. All in all, I am pretty content with the life I have. I suppose I am less content

Sometimes all you can do is just don't add more to the mess. That pretty much sums up my approach to life, right there. As a wise person once said to me: "I can't change the world, but maybe I can

The thing about eBay is that it was a super cool idea at one time. A true peer-to=peer marketplace that was like a cross between an online garage sale and a collectibles expo marketplace. Sadly, most of

Thanks for the suggestion re: LibreOffice. For the moment, she has managed to get access keys from someone at Microsoft, but I sent her the information, anyway. I like that there's an online version, as

It would be nice if someone were to develop and implement a peer-to-peer marketplace as part of the Hive ecosystem so we could all trade goods and services with each other without ever having to "exit

The thing about eBay is that they have succeeded in creating themselves as a "pseudo-monopoly" in their particular business space. So they can get away with it because people don't really have

Well, I grew up in Denmark which is a social democracy, and there are definite rules and limitations on what is permissible in business to get sales. Some of the practices we see here in the US go way
