Hello Everyone!
Yes, the title of the blog is pretty much self-explanatory, this is my first ever Hive post! 😊 I’m extremely happy to be part of this amazing Community! The first time I heard about Hive was from my Friend @AussieNinja, he is already a contributor to the platform for a while. We were talking about it and he told me he was trying to get me an account and it was all so fast and easy, I followed the Hive Blockchain Info Account, was sent the keys and done!
Just for this first approach I was in love with the whole concept and the person/people behind the Hive Blockchain Info on Twitter are so nice and fast, they show you right away this is a platform you can’t trust and I see it going places. Now that I told you how I got here I want to tell you who I am, I’m Patricia, Patty also works. I’m 37 years old for now (almost 38 because the 4th of May is fast approaching) and I am from Portugal. So please excuse in advance if my english is not textbook perfect because I’m not a native speaker. Portugal is a country (not a spanish province) with lovely beaches, mountains, amazing food and welcoming people. I will come back to those in future blogs for sure!
I’m married, my hubby works at our local hospital, not a lot of Covid-19 cases where we live fortunately!! But right now that’s always a back of the head source of concern as you can imagine… We don’t have kids so far but we share our lives with 3 adorable furry creatures. We adopted our 3 cats from our local rescue association and we couldn’t be happier, they are the cutest little things! Also something I will be bringing you on future blogs.
I recently found out something that is my Covid-19/quarantine therapy, baking! So expect also quite a few baking blogs along the way! 😅 Modesty aside I found out I’m pretty good at this baking thing, not the super lovely 10 tier cakes with lots of detail... But for the easy, fast and delicious kind of things I’m mastering those, from breads, to rolls, to cakes, you name it. My surprise with the baking success is because I don’t like cooking, hubby is our cook. Before Covid-19 the baking I already did was bread, we much prefer to eat homemade bread. Despite bread being something cheap that is readily available it can’t compare in flavour and quality to the homemade versions, at least for me! 😉
I don’t want to make this intro post extremely long because I will have plenty of time ahead to tell you in more detail about me and my passions but expect to also see some 3D printing blogs because me and hubby are also fans of our cheap 3D printer that we got last December! And since I’m in full quarantine mode and can’t be baking all the time I need to find other things to distract myself right?
Just to wrap things up for this one let me say again that it is a pleasure to be part of the Hive Community and I’m looking forward to having your feedback!
Until the next one, XOXO 💗
Find me on Twitter @PattyAlexx
Welcome on board :) Ahh the furbabies are adorable XD
Thank you so much, will definitely bring more on them in the future 😀
Welcome to hive! Make yourself visible by reaching out to people and communities. You will find that we are a helpful bunch
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I already feel at home. Right now I'm investigating all the communities, reading blogs, following creators, this is a vast new world for me.
Welcome!
Well your English is excellent, much better than many natives :D
I've not visited Portugal in a while but have enjoyed my time there.
There are plenty of cats here (it is social media after all), and many fond bakers also. Good luck!
Awww thank you! I'm glad you've had the chance to visit Portugal already, it's worth it. And even more so for crypto investors, no tax on crypto!
lol Will try to keep my little cat craze contained, I'm a cat lady but not a crazy cat lady, I hope! ;)
We have at least one person here who's living the tax free life in Portugal at present :D That is a strong selling point!
I miss owning a cat, one day :)
It is for sure, we're crypto investors for the long run, at least I am... And to think about saying bye bye to 30% or more for taxes is just crazy... We have a lot of flaws here as a country, but for now paying crypto taxes is not one of them ;)
When you can get one, when they're not Tazmanian devils running around (like mine are doing right now) they are adorable lol
Welcome to the Hive blockchain @pattyalexx! You did a nice job of introducing yourself. I hope you find it meeting or, ideally, exceeding your expectations.
There is a fair amount to learn. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to ask. I'll be happy to do what I can to help you.
P.S. In the event no one has explained that before now, finding out a mention of you has been made requires the other party to create a "link" to your account, by naming it, i.e. as I have done at the beginning of my comment here to you.
Thank you so much @roleerob! You guys are amazing!
Got the tagging feature since I saw it worked when I tagged my friend @aussieninja that mentioned Hive to me. Are you saying that because on the end I have my twitter handle? Since it's the same as Hive it's possible that when I added it it's looping back to my Hive profile... Will check that out ;)
@pattyalexx not sure of your question here ...
... but not being a user of Twitter, I probably won't able to help you with it.
That said, with the way you are already writing the account names, looks like you're doing fine to me!
P.S. I mentioned this due to the number of new users I have found that write about not understanding why something they have written to someone else never seems to have gotten a response. Hoping to eliminate an early source of potential frustration ...
Got it, it makes sense, you're mentioning directing the answer to the Hive account yes.
Thank you so much for clarifying that @roleerob :)
