RE: Showing the Love, Market Friday

Is that you standing there in that last picture all decapitated?
I think you've hit on a few points here that are ever-present in Hive, and that is that a lot of people are in it for the votes. I'll be the first to admit that there are two things on Hive that really do irk me: 1. people who receive large auto-votes who post crap, or next-to-crap, and get huge payouts; 2. the severe lack of comments.
It is bad enough to put a lot of time and thought and time into a post and see it barely touched when there's crap that gets over $100. It is absolutely discouraging to put time and thought and time and time and get only a comment or two. I try, very hard, to give a comment to every vote I make (which is why I do not autovote anything). If I dont' have the time to comment, I usually don't vote either. For whatever it's worth, personally, I take pride in leaving at least a one line comment indicating why I like the post. It may not mean anything to anyone else that I do that, but I try. I love the conversations.
Now, that said, I'm probably just as guilty for not following the rules for your Market Friday posts. In large part that's because I'm inherently very lazy. 🙂
I am continually amazed and inspired by how you personally are able to keep on top of things and be so active. I know I can't keep up with you.
Haha! That is me! Was it my smile that tipped you off? :))
I don't have any auto votes either. It is rare, but, does happen that I love a post and can't put enough in to convey what I want to say to make it worthy. So, I might upvote it and go back the next day to do comments. By the way, I am just a fast typer, that is the only reason I can get so much done on here. The rest of my life, I am running to catch up. I forgot my sister's anniversary last week. I cannot believe it. That is the first time. It's the little things, you know? Tomorrow, I will have to call her up and confess what a bad sister I am. Then I will tell her that she is, after all, number seven child and there are still two more after her... it is so hard keeping up with all of them. Do you know they all get birthdays on top of Christmas? Talk about highway robbery!
About the rules. I have to put something out as people wanted to know how to explain it to another person. The big important things are to drop a link and tag me in it. I am chasing down posts all week because people don't do these things and they don't always surface when I look for them. You don't even know what lazy is. I have to be on top of things. There is no loyalty in keeping people that don't perform well. :)
Thanks, always, Victor! It is always a joy to see you. I was feeling like a total bully for a few hours, but, I am over it. :)
#MarketFriday loves you!
I forgot my mom's 40th birthday. She even took me out for lunch that day.
Now, it wasn't so much that I forgot it, but I just outright got the day wrong. I called her 10 days later, quite proud that I had remembered. Alas. It was 10 days prior.
I'm going to have a Market Friday post for you later today. I've won Yet Another Phonograph (YAP) (tm) at an auction, along with some records (a veritable holy-****-tonne of records, which is even larger than the standard ****-tonne) that I am going to pick up today. Online auctions are going to be the end of me.
Call your sister!
I am. I was just waiting for my coffee to finish brewing. Really? Did you buy more? For reals? They will be the demise of you! I hope you don't have to go far. I don't normally like online auctions, but, I have bit on a few. I have had a few that were disappointingly not in the best shape but the few that are amazing have made up for it. So, would I do it again? I say no, but, I still look!
My goodness! **** tonne? Bring the truck!! :))
Good luck! Calling my sister. Bye!
