Hey, I'm seeing my daughter today for the first time in two months. Last nights sleep was terrible, I must be excited :)
Coffee fueled, and with a little help from @hiveSQL to skim through the past three years or so, my favourite 3 posts (with a couple of bonus efforts) in response to Marky's post earlier today.
When I started writing, I was completely terrible. I think I've improved through practice somewhat, but when I read other work which just flows and is a joy to read, I know I'll never be up at that level. Quite a lot of my stuff has been more functional and data orientated, that has saved my Flesch reading ease (Is that still a thing?) somewhat, and I'm grateful that there are people interested in these kind of posts.
I've been told many a time to 'post moar', but I do find it difficult to come up with ideas at times, and some days I spend quite a lot of time either commentating or going down data rabbit holes that lead to frustration/nothing.
Anyway, I do occasionally come up with something I'm pretty happy with, and the posts linked below fall into that category for one reason or another. And some of those reasons could be level of engagement, the payout, how long the post took to write, how raging you were when you wrote it, etc.
I'm sure on a different day I'd probably select a different set of posts. (What, no Competition - Welcome to Ste..?)
Bah! Anyway, onwards.......
A food post
Bet you didn't expect that!?
It's not really a typical food post, quite the opposite actually. I'm complaining about the prep time when making food and the time 'wasted' when eating - and my opinion hasn't changed.
Is anyone else just not that excited about the prospect of preparing and consuming food?
Prep time 10 mins, chewing for an hour
The reason I picked this one is because @stellabelle, an influential account, seemed to like my post and gave it a re-blog. At the time, as is still the case now to some extent, a share by a prominent user will likely mean more visitor and attention and this was, although a bit shit when I look back, my 'breakthrough post'.
Tales of woe
So while the few good souls continue their altruistic behavior, are 'we' just frantically shoveling water out of a steadily sinking ship?
What if we ALL went 'full asshole' for a week to perhaps finally prove the point that the current algorithms aren't working, and force the changes that seem necessary at this point?
Are the selfless delaying the inevitable/essential
There are some calculations on how my profit maximization would look (21/April/2018) and some interesting quotes from others, if you like your history lessons.
Why did I pick the post? The meme of course :)
One from the heart
Marky listed one of his top 3 as a personal effort, and I think that influenced this ones appearance. I have added the occasional 'life' post, but not so much of late as umm, there's not a lot been happening :)
The eternal heartache of a distant dad
Written the week before I was due to see my daughter for the first time in around a year and a half, she was clearly prominent in my thoughts at the time.
Two more for good luck
More history for you, and a story about the technical analyst slowly 'forcing' others to follow suit.
Do inactive votes for witnesses affect the witness ranks?
Well the tl;dr at the time was 'no' (and would likely be an even bigger 'no' today), but this took around 30 hours to find out, and the post has 1 of my 2 @curie votes.
OK, that's me. I think I'll try and grab a bit more sleep before this afternoon.
Use the tags #blog and #toplist for massive profitssss....
Cheers

It's been around a month for me, I think. It's so hard to find the 3 - 4 hrs it takes to do a good job.
I'm too busy playing Splinterlands :)
Been a while since one took 3/4 hours, I think the going rate at present is an hour or two.
Did you see neoxian is paying 20000 STEEM for a card? cha-ching!
Yeah, a gold foil PJ shoemanchu pulled the other day, lucky duck :)
Great for the game. That and being listed on dappradar, (straight to the top.)
Was it not leveled up? damnnn!
I didn't know about dappradar, that's sweet. About time the game moved to Hive, or is there a lingering Tron connection they don't want to lose?
PJ and Arius (the two ultra rare cards only found via Mystery potions) come as max straight out of the box.
Ah right, cheers for the intel :)
3.5k US though, staggering and really cool the game can throw out that value for whoever is super lucky.
There's a 1% chance of a gold PJ dropping each day (somewhere amongst the many accounts running daily mystery potions). 50% chance of a regular.
Well I've been utilising askhive to ask questions on hive, it increases my level of engagement and well interaction is quite cool and contents I get engagement in gives me this satisfaction. You're the engagement guy lol I guess that's why you fancy those picks lol. And as for the votes, it's not been coming in this past few days.
Glad you're seeing your daughter again
Ask Hive is pretty cool. I do have one planned for that community this week.
I think the hive.vote settings have changed and so many people are missing regular votes. A bit painful, but perhaps for the good of the platform?
Thank you :)
Hi @josediccus, thank you for mentioning #Ask the Hive — I didn't know a thing about it, but you have brought it to life on my side. I've had a look at the posts there, and wow, they are quite amusing.
Kudos bro.
I know exactly how you feel. I'm seeing mine tomorrow. Can't wait!!!
Have fun! 😍
It was the best afternoon I could have wished for! 😍
We went for a walk in the sun and sat by a stream chatting away. I really needed today!
Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow, it is supposed to be a scorcher too.
Aw. So happy to hear you had a good time.
I got the day wrong. It's Thursday I'm meeting up with Rebecca. I'm hoping to walk along the seafront to the lagoon and get a takeaway bacon sarnie from the cafe that's reopened there. With a bit of luck the weather will holduntil then. 😁
I like those plans, especially the bacon sarnie.
Tomorrow you can top your tan up :D
Ha, ha, ha. What tan? I don't have a garden and the beach has been off limits until this week. Whiter than white I am. 😁
I will let you off - time to get some colour!
I will have to check the first out. I remember the daughter one, definitely not the food one! But the asshole one seems familiar!
It's nice looking back on the oldies that meant something!
The food one is average at best, but I remember it for the re-blog, and then things started to improve :)
To be fair, I did have to wade through a lot of early shite!
Issue it amazing when you look at the right early stuff how much you groan at in terms of quality!
Yeah I was using the phone for months and it was a ballache - that's my excuse anyway!
That's an excuse I'm still using! :0D
No way sir!
I save my 100%'ers for the finest works :D
A gentleman has sophisticated tastes after all! :OD
Sleep can be terrible when you are excited. Whenever my neighbor took me fishing I was always excited.
It may have been the thoughts about today and even though I'm tired not it was a cracker :)
Always thought I'd like fishing, but the weather had to be good - seems you cant promise a catch or sunshine though.
This seems like a fun post. Maybe I'll give it a go. I am glad you are seeing your daughter soon. Those are some good posts you selected.
Go for it dude. It' not so easy to pick 3 but once you have them then quite easy to give a bit of background as to why. Those Steem/bot/stake related ones, my mood writing those, fuming!
Enjoy having your daughter around again, some funny reminders of the past couple of months events.
As for preparing food, I do that daily, take photo's hell no! Each to their own...
Well enjoy your sleep and have fun with your daughter visiting.
Thank you Joan
I really had a lovely day today, it was so worth the crappy sleep last night and I think I'll have a much better night this time around.
