howdy sir ecoinstant! sir Alex do you know the c-squared people? they came to my post yesterday, my real post, and that was great but then tombstone and kevinwong visited also which was a big surprise because I have no idea who they are, do you?
did you see the post? alot of people seem to like the historical ones that I do, those and the Amish posts.
I'm sorry I'm being totally self-centered in this comment, did you get some sleep last night? that photo on your video with you sleeping in your patio chair was hilarious man! you are simply MADE for this platform.

Thank you Jonboy!

Indeed, I do work in the same group @c-squared! They are related to a lot of other curation efforts and have a lot of great members. I will say, they are going to like your well researched posts a lot more than a picture and a paragraph!

I personally didn't suggest yours, because I haven't even seen it until now! I have been spread pretty thin since this contest, but I do try to get around to get that PS up.

I am thrilled that you were rewarded for the amount of time you spent on that post, even if if was blogging about women falling off of cows! ;p

Edit: oh wait! Now I see it was a black cowboy! Did anyone mention that and say he shoulda been african american?

ahahaha! you are just too funny sir ecoinstant, you may need to join that comedyopen mic bunch. but seriously, when I have some more sp voting power I would love to be in a group like that, what does that take?

plus, do you know anything about curie and who or what that is?
oh man, are you in their new commenting contest? no one would be as good as you in that!

:)
I was nominated twice now by my buddy @improv for comedy open mic, so I probably should make an entry this week. I'm a lot funnier with a straight man, seriously Jonboy you are the Abbot to my Costello!

@c-squared has no requirements, you have to join the discord and then you can nominate other people's posts. As you show your stuff you can get moved up to more responsibilities, they let me activate the bot now if I think a nomination is good.

Curie is a great project, got a lot of delegation early on, and they try to reward newer authors for great content, to encourage user retention. I have been commenting on some of the curie'd posts, they are generally longer content, so it takes longer, but its really good stuff!

sir ecoinstant..with c-squared that bot gets unleashed on a post and it votes from everyone's account that is in c-squared? In other words the c-squared members don't have to go and vote individually?

my post today got hit with them again, the photos of the cowboys being thrown off the bulls in mid-air are stunning. I guess that helps I don't know.

I put the photos between about every 2 paragraphs but I don't know if that makes it harder to read or what. I have zero experience with this stuff.

Do ya'll have weekend plans to do anything interesting?

I don't think thats how it works...It may have a trail, in which those that want to follow the votes can, but I don't do that. The bot gives the accepted posts a small upvote, a comment and a resteem. The resteem is the big thing, people who follow the feed for curated content will then see it, instead of looking through so much other stuff, that's a feed with pre-approved content that has been reviewed by at least two people.

I like to do just that! I put up my pictures and try to put one or two paragraphs in between each one. Sound like you do the opposite, type all the text and then upload the pics. But that's also what I think looks the best.

We do have some plans, tomorrow to do some yard work, and Sunday, after church, my grandmother is singing in concert choir, the final show for this performance, so we will go see her do that. I believe a friend of hers is having a wake as well, sad but true that when you move to a retirement community you lose a few friends every year.

sir ecoinstant..thanks so much for the confidence builder concerning the layout of posts. that reminds me I gotta go over and see what kind of crazy thing you did today!
yeah the retirement community and losing friends, don't move into one of those! lol
