howdy this fine Thursday ecoinstant! well I think he is staying up with me, Jack is.
as far as how I'm doing, I have no idea! I think I'm about similar to last week but I've tried to contact new people but I'm not very good at that, only one or two a day because I'm about maxed out on how many I can carry on conversations with so as much as I enjoy meeting new people, I don't know if I want to get to a place where it takes me 24 hours or more to get back to them, kinda hard to carry on a conversation that way, or am I looking at it wrong?

I never look at any numbers so if they are rising I don't realize it! lol.
what about you? and do you miss your farm in Columbia?

I do miss it, quite a bit. Certain aspects more than others, but the reports are good and I am happy to make way for others to gain responsibility.

I think I am on track to do better than ever, but your raw comment numbers, almost 1200, does seem to me to be pretty elusive. But I have participated in a few contests this week, I hadn't in a while, and won the 2nd round of @papa-pepper's Wild n' Strange! So it has been a great week either way. I am already hedging my bets ;p

yes sir..hey what is that contest Wild n' Strange? I've seen it but never realy checked it out, is that just photos, submitting wildlife photos? or a beard contest? lol.

Hahaha! Beards help but not required! It actually is the most unique contest I have ever seen, on steem or anywhere else, so I would recommend checking it out.

Basically it is a 5 round contest, with a different contest every round!

So the first round is a photography contest, usually has at least one steemian, and the steem logo, seems like he might have relaxed these rules recently.

Round 2 then builds on the winner, its an art contest where you must create art 'based' on the photo from round 1.

Round 3 is a meme contest (thats where we are now!). You turn the art from round 2 into a meme! You could do this right now! I use https://imgflip.com/memegenerator to help me.

Round 4 takes the winner for round three as a muse to right a poem!

Round 5 takes the winner from 4 and turns it into a song performance!

Its brilliant!

wow! no wonder it's called wild and crazy! the prize better be a good one!

by the way, these Alliance people, it sounds like some organisation from a James Bond movie...what is their thing? their main objective?
the name sounds elite, exclusive and powerful.
I don't like it. I'm going to start my own group called the Redneck Brigade to offset the elitists! lol.

Redneck brigade sounds like a very cool group! These guys are just nice people, and I believe they incorporated a number of different groups that started forming last year. I'm only a pledge now, so they have to haze me a bit more before I learn the complete history ;p

The thing is, my mom is in the group and so I think I will get special treatment, and as you know I am always looking for new people to chat with to get that PS score up ;p

Let me know when enrollement is open on the Redneck Brigade!

ahhaha! for the Redneck Brigade there are NO requirements, it's open to everyone. The only thing they have to do is laugh at my redneck jokes! lol.

your mom is on steemit??? who in the world is your mom?
