Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.

Good morning my friend, participating once again in your weekly challenge. Boy, I ended up getting a little emotional, I remembered memories that marked my childhood. Anyway, this is my participation post: https://ecency.com/hive-168869/@josiva/saving-bela

There are many options, but the first one marked my life.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for your entry, I'm heading over to have a look now. Have a good weekend.

Controversial opinions come "two a penny" - !LOLZ

Darn, if I manage to take part in the contest this week, the hardest step would be choosing the topic 😂 there are a lot of interesting subjects!

Spiders and snakes - Your close encounters.

If in my life an encounter with a snake would have been to close, I wouldn't be here to tell it 😂 I'll rather eat a - dead, of course, lol - spider than get too close to a snake ahahah

Snakes and spiders aren't my thing...surprising since I was born and raised in Australia where we have so many deadly ones (and other things). I find them creepy.

Have a good weekend.

Australia is one of those places which one has to see at least once duringa his/her life... but between snakes, spiders, crocodiles and sharks, it doesn't make it easy for a lot of people ahahah

Have a good weekend too!

Spiders and snakes - Your close encounters. Do you like or not like spiders and snakes and have you had any close encounters? Tell us about it and don't forget to use your photos. (Bonus points if you got swallowed by a reticulated python, Burmese python or green anaconda and survived to tell the tale.)

This prompt got me laughing so hard, I wish someone would attempt this😄

I'm really hoping someone actually got swallowed but lived. It'll make a good post! 😉

I don't know someone's life I saved, But I know some one who saved my life.
My pet Jerry- the beagle.

Pets have a way of making us feel this way right?

Wow how many possibilities you leave us to write about this weekend. There are several proposals that encourage me, I hope to organize myself and give my time to participate. Regards

I thought I'd add some variety in this week, hopefully there's something most people can relate to.

Happy weekend.

Hahahaha Spiders? Oh God, no!

These are very interesting topics, @galenkp. Looking forward to give a properly opinion. 😀

I know all creatures have a place in the world...but spiders and snakes, come on...why! 🤪

I don't really know, but I don't like them. Although, I think I have a cockroach phobia. hahaha

No one likes cockroaches. So unlikable.

wow we have been blessed with many topics this week lol. Now the hard part is choosing one but im curious on who will be talking about the porn one

Maybe someone will, we'll know soon enough if anyone chooses that topic.

Have a good weekend.

yes sir time to keep our eyes out to see lol

and thank you. u have a great weekend as well!

I was surprised to see so many topics, it's been a long time since you did it...interesting about the snakes, I hope there is a survivor and tell us his story haha, happy weekend my friend.

Well spotted, I haven't done this many topics for months...did it for something different.

Let's hope there's a snake swallow survivor...a good post that would be!

Have a good weekend.

Hi @galenkp, my entry today is about pornography, it has been a bit complicated for me to talk about the subject, however I think I have managed to do it with respect and without falling into vulgarity, a big hello:

https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@nbarrios67/pornography-as-i-see-it

Happy weekend.

Hello back, and thanks for tackling one of the harder topics. Well done.

Have a good weekend.

😂😂 Got me at bonus points for being swallowed by a python and surviving. I'll be looking out for posts on that. 😄

I see there are more topics, and very interesting ones too. To participate would be fun, I hope I can come up with something.

Big ups!

If only I was swallowed by a python or anaconda, what an amazing post I could write. Alas, I have not. Hopefully someone has and they choose to tell us about it.

Hopefully. 😄 🤞🏽

I tell you: today I was going to go to a forest.... cloudy day and possible rain so that big event will be on Sunday!!! So I will have a beautiful weekend!

As for the themes, one already called me and there will be no changes, that one touched my heart deeply. Decision made!

Have a great weekend, Galen! Hugs!

It sounds like a good weekend is on the way for you. Good work.

You've chosen a topic? So...you've been swallowed by an anaconda and lived? Excellent, I'm looking forward to your post.

I might have swallowed the anaconda hahaha and I saved myself because I am a witch and an alien, I gutted it from the inside hahahahahahaha

Bonus points if you got swallowed by a reticulated python, Burmese python or green anaconda and survived to tell the tale.

I really wanna hear from the guy who got this bonus point, please mention me. I will never desire to get such a bonus point, lol.

🤔

Hi @galenkp there are six interesting topics This weekend, I have My newfew that love snake, he had Two snakes in his departament, I never visit him. But now he went in EEUU and sold them.

He had snakes for pets? I know someone who does also, not my thing though. Me no likey snakes. 😁

If they were his pets, and he had them in a room, my family said he was crazy hehe, once I dared to visit him and went into that room I only saw them half and left quickly? .

My entry https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@wendyth16/snake-as-a-pet-week-193

Cheers, I appreciate it.

Ahh spiders are the worst! I am truly afraid of them. They are my wordt nightmare (sometimes I literally dream of them 😂)
The other week someone broke into my van while I was sleeping. I woke up and this guy was scared and pulled a knife and left. This experience was so much better than if it would have been a spider. If it was a spider I would definitely not been able to sleep anymore. That's how afraid I am for spiders. Australia might be my dream country to live in but the spiders keep me away 😂

Oh wow, a scary situation with the break in to your van... fortunately you're ok! If it was a spider...well, things would have been much worse. And yeah, we have some deadly spiders here for sure, snakes too.

Have a good weekend.

I really look forward to those extra points for those who survived being swallowed and write their story hahaha... Wow Galen, there's a lot to inspire you this weekend, let's see what surprises we'll discover bro! ✌️

I hope someone survived a snake swallowing and is willing to talk about it.

Have a good weekend.

The fifth prompt got me rolling on the floor😂😂, and also my weekend actually started off with a bad a news as one of family friend lost his life this morning, but reading the fifth promt about the spiders and snakes lightened up my mood😅😅

Sorry about your loss, it's always a difficult time when that happens.

Yes😌, thanks for sympathizing with me.

These are all nice topics to choose from. I'll be sure to participate.
Happy weekend everyone!

Thanks, I hope you have a good weekend also.

a very good theme to tell our true identity, I can't wait to participate

Excellent, have a good weekend too.

Everything we've got this weekend is boom. Snakes and spiders, pornography and self-development and been swallowed by an anaconda. I can't wait to read about that experience.
It's going to be a nice weekend.

I hope you manage to have a great weekend, Thanks for commenting.

No bonus points here.!!

But I have a 12 acre pine tree farm and have yet to see a pine rattlesnake. The year after I dug the pond I had water moccasins. Strange I think. I just got "up close and personal" with a black widow last weekend. She did not bite so it was a good kind of UC&P.

I was thinking about revisiting the animal rescue that changed our lives here and gave birth to the "Pookyville Cat Ranch"

Rainy day here so maybe I will sit down and tap tap tap out a Sammi Jo post..?
Wanna make any wagers on that happening...

There's enough for shedding there to make another one!

I'll look out for your post, hope you have a good weekend.

Oh wow! Great choice of topics @galenkp
I'm taking it slow this weekend so I checked out a few posts...Some of them made me tear up 😭
As for the spiders/ snakes, I'm not a huge fan of either one but my daughter is. Her dad has a pet snake called Rosita, and Sophia loves to hang out with her while I'm back at home fearing for her life lol In her defence though, she's never seen Anaconda 🤣

Brave girl...me no likey snakes so this is something the creeps me out. There one time I held a carpet python though, I did not enjoy the experience at all.

There's been some good posts this week and I'm really pleased to see people taking on some or the more complicated topics as well.

Have a nice weekend.

Maybe you should get the bonus points then! 😅 I could never - the only time I saw a snake was when I was about 7, on my dad's shoulders while he chased her away lol
Agreed, you'll have a tough decision to make!
Enjoy the weekend too! ☀️

Only one who has been swallowed by a snake and lived to tell the tale may receive the bonus points, but you can have a smile instead. 😁

Interesting topics, friend @galenk, happy weekend! cheers!

Happy weekend to you too.

Beautiful and interesting topics to write about. I hope I finally get to choose one because am torn in between choosing the one to write on. 😁

Happy weekend everyone

Have a good weekend.

Thank you ❤️

Happy weekend everyone.
These are awesome topics, kudos @galenkp for the great job well done.
Here is my entry for this week engagement:
https://ecency.com/hive-168869/@fab-tay/weekend-engagement-193-saving-life

Thanks, and have a good weekend too.

Very thought provoking topics but I think number one is for me ☺️

Ok,thanks for letting me know.

Six topics for this weekend, wow.
I'll be looking out for the controversial entries. 😂

Yeah, six.

Wow, those are some heavy ones this weekend! I usually try to take a bit of a break from Hive on the weekends, but I might have to pop into the community for once just to read some of the responses!

Have a good weekend break, I hope you manage to recharge and also do something fun. I've got a fairly relaxed weekend planned too, it'll be very hot here so I might have to make like a sloth inside with the AC until evening when it'll be BBQ time. 😉

Sounds like a perfect weekend to me! I just had some BBQ this evening. It wasn't homemade, but we have a really good local smokehouse.

Bonus points if you got swallowed by a reticulated python, Burmese python or green anaconda and survived to tell the tale.

Hahaha I want to see, if anyone earns that bonus. Happy weekend, varied and controversial topics, I like that.

Let us hope someone has had this experience, it should be a good post.

Have a nice weekend.

Great topics this week. I had a tough time deciding which to go for.
