Thanks! I appreciate the follow. It'll be interesting to learn how many Hivers are on Medium. Although I got a bump in traffic since monetizing I've had very little engagement otherwise so my hopes aren't

The Nothing 3a Pro comes very close to the iPhone 16e and is about half the price. I just got my mom the 16e because her four year old iPhone SE had been throttled to the point it was barely keeping a

At this point in mobile phone evolution I think the form factor is about as good as it can be. I just wish companies would make upgradeable and repairable phones that were more modular. If you needed a

That's interesting to here! My last non-Apple mobile wasn't even a smart phone so I don't have any other experience to judge by.

Yes, kind of like a cult in some respects.

I'll definitely be checking that book out! Thanks again!

You're welcome! My Mom's book was nice but she only completed about ten of the prompts. It's something at least. I'll probably pass mine onto a younger relative at some point, probably a niece or nephew.

Yes! Medium has been around for a really long time. I dabbled with it for a year before finding Steemit in 2016. I think I just, generally, have more enthusiasm now to take my writing in different directions

My nephew was on that same rollercoaster ride! He’d feel good for a while and it would be a resurgence. I’m a believer in Tamiflu. It really helped my wife this last time she got Covid. I escaped getting

I'm sorry that you've been so sick! There are so many nasty bacterial and viral infections going around. My friend just flew to the Dominican Republic and came back with partial neck paralysis and a flu

Thanks! Beginner's luck with the nine cents I would imagine. ; )

Steemit/Hive was the first time in my life the "stars aligned" so to speak. Although my active followers have greatly decreased over the past few years here there were a few years that were pretty

That's too bad. I'd check with them again if it's been six years. Thank you!

¡Gracias, amigo! Sí, definitivamente he encontrado lo que me hace feliz. Lo mejor de escribir es que puedes hacerlo casi toda la vida. Fui un tonto al pensar que podría caer en una semijubilación. :)

Thank you! I appreciate the engagement and friendship, as always!

Thanks! That's one of my goals, actually! I feel like there's a great opportunity to on-board frustrated authors over there. My guess is even the lowest paid blogger on Hive is making more than 95% of

Much appreciated! Most of my content on there will be cross-posted but I think I'll try to do one or two exclusive posts a month over there. These platforms can be really tricky to break into. Sometimes
