I love to have fun and if that means making a fool out of myself to make people laugh, then so be it! Find me that funny hat, silly nose, or even goofy outfit and I will wear it and be as silly as I can. I thought about becoming a clown once when I was in my late 20's but I was broke with kids. I guess I could have made a go for it, but I couldn't get the kids to run away to the circus with me.
The Hanson Puppet Museum was as close as I ever got to the circus!
One of the things I have learned in my last 51 years is that if you aren't having any fun then what's the use? I try to laugh every day as something, anything, even if it is at myself. I can't tell you how many times I have passed a mirror to find myself making silly faces. Don't you do that? If not, why not? It's great fun, especially if someone sees you doing it. Then you can make faces at them! Hey, win-win!
Crazy things are attracted to me, especially birds. Yes, it's just foul!
I am terrified of everything. I am sure there could be something funny in that! When I was little I was scared of everything. I hated riding in the car with my dad because he went too fast, roller coasters made me throw up, and the unknown just terrified the heckman outta me! It's shocking that I even leave the house these days with all the crazy things happening today. See, Crazy, it teases me!
TOO FAST! DANG IT! TOO FAST!!!!
One of my favorite things to do is pose with statues. I am sure they could be interacted with in so many ways. I just can't help myself. I see sitting statue minding its own business, I just have to sit down beside it and ask it about its day. I am sure they have seen some amazing things. I am, however, a bit more nervous about them now that I have seen the Dr. Who episode called Blink. Horrifying really. I am sure to get caught someday.
Have I told you of Tarzan our master of the jungle?
Most often the humor of life is what gets me. I am never really sure how it knows when to play its dirty little tricks on me but it often does. How often have you been someplace only to find it is not the right place? the right time? the right anything? This happens to me a lot, but what should I do? Get angry? Cry? Pout? No, not at all! Just make the best of it and pray no one else is wearing the same outfit!
The nerve of that hussy! Such great taste and style!
So, this is me, rubberduckiemom! With a heart full of love, head for the fun, and a belly laugh for all!
Thanks for reading!
Welcome to Steemit! You have taken the first step in achieving many goals here at the crossroads of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and social media. Consistent engagement is needed to progress and grow your following and influence. I am currently working on a weekly post to curate new users and providing them an introduction to the ecosystem. I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! I explain this initiative on one of my previous post.
There are a number of great content creators on the platform to help you on your journey. I have recently ran into a great post by @roleerob that is great to get off to a great start here on the ecosystem. As I continue to expand this initiative, I continue to find great content and guides for new users such as this post from @finnian who not only includes a great step-by-step process of registering for #Steemit but also provides great security and engagement tips as well to help you on your journey. Another great user creating content for new Steemians is @paulag who is creating community backed video series on learning to navigate STEEM.
Keep your eyes out for these tips and references to help you on your journey to becoming a minnow! It is also a great idea to follow some of the great projects being built on the #STEEM blockchain. You can see these projects here. Some of these projects provide you the ability to interact and engage within the community and have the potential to provide rewards for your engagement. For example, @actifit is a fitness app that tracks your daily activity which you can post to the blockchain and earn rewards for your participation. Another interesting project is @steemmonsters which is a digital trading card game that enables you to collect and battle with the community all within the #STEEM ecosystem.
Lastly, a new initiative has just been launched by one of our top witnesses @gtg to support new users that become very active and need additional bandwidth to remain actively engaged in an effort to build enough Steem Power to grow your influence and interaction in the ecosystem. I would highly encourage you to visit his post for further instructions. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!
This was hilarious and JUST what I needed!!!!!! Gonna go read the comment section now hehehe
So glad it helped. My work here is done..... wait, you have something... never mind.
If you can't make 'em laugh, make 'em cry!
Welcome to the Steemit pea soup. I love people who can make me laugh. Laughter is a great metal can. Or something like that.
BTW, I love it when statues pose with me. :-)
So you've seen it too! Oh man, it's always kinda creepy! Unless its Einstine and then its just cool!
Yeah, Einstein with a drink in his hand. That would be a cool picture. Alabaster Margaritaville.
If I read your post everyday, I will have my post-belly slim down. Coz keep laughing and then the tummy keep jingling. Or jiggling. Not sure what word to describe. But yes, I will laugh till I become fit. Hahahahaha.
Thank you for being free to be you, to be funny and spreading laughter in the blockchain. Wait we laugh till the chains break loose!! Muahaha!
Love, Jade💕
Belly jingles! Holy mac&chz! I'm having visions of a really bad video! This is gonna be fun!
@rubberduckiemom, Good to go through from this post and i want to say that you are really unique and for sure this post is witnessing that Fun tarvells with you. Stay blessed. 🙂
This comment was made from https://ulogs.org
So glad you enjoyed it! I just can't help myself so it's best to just let it all go and accept that people are going to laugh; why not laugh with them. Thanks for reading!

Great to hear these words. Have a blessed time ahead. 🙂
I love it! I love the idea of posing with statues as well, that could make for some great entertainment! :) Fabulous post, I hope you're doing well!
P.S. There is still time to be a clown! I created and made a puppet that I did a puppet show with a few years ago. If I can do that, you could totally be a clown! The children's hospital patients love weird visitors like us!
Oh, you're a puppet master! Sweet! I use to also want to do puppets but I always ended up working and stressing out. Guess we know why I had a stroke! I guarentee it wasn't genius! Haha
I love that you did puppets. You are definitely a like mind. Hope things are better for you as well.

Thank you. Things are looking up, slowly but surely.
Good! You know where I am if you need me!
Gosh, you're a funny one, aren't you! You might want to meet @darrenfj! He's a hoot. You might also want to take a look at @juliamulcahy, @youhavewings, @twodorks, @maquemali, or even @enginewitty.
Scott and I wanted to help you out by getting you some tips and tricks we learned over the past few months as new Steemians. You can view that post HERE
Also check out this Discord Server for new Steemians.
Oh, my gosh! Thank you so very much. I will look all of them up very soon. I feel like I might even know a few of them. So are you the Saint of New People or what?! I can't wait to visit the Steem Terminal and use you up like a cheap roll of paper towels.
Thanks again!
Oh, honey, you are so very welcome! No, I'm not a Saint! Not even close! I do love to meet new people though. It's so fun getting to know them all and to experience their culture and interests from their posts. Have you thought about what type of posts you are hoping to do?
Oh, and you are more than welcome to use us, that's what we are here for! I know that @brittandjosie and @thekittygirl will just adore you! I think I should also introduce you to @dreemsteem, @bluefinstudios, @eveningart, and @saffisara. Oh, they would think you are just the craziest gal ever!
They all just sound delightful! I can't wait to meet them all. So, tell me, is there anything interesting to do around this place? Is it all just here on the Steem platform?
Well, I'm so glad you asked. There are contests for poetry, writing, photography and so much more. I think there is even a coloring page contest. If you are brave enough, you can log onto a thing called discord and find an even more Steem Community thing going. You can click this link: https://discord.gg/XZGPGpz and it will take you to discord we will be more than happy to help you find your way around discord on the Steem Terminal server.
There are all sorts of things to do there. If you like podcasts and shows, this is the world for you! You will find a show called Pimp Your Post Thursdays where you can share your latest post. @shadowspub runs that. Then you will find a cooking show on Wednesdays by @crazybgadventure. There is an awesome show called the Barbarella Show with hosts @anutu and @Ravijojla. Of course you don't want to miss an episode of @snook's Pants Are Optional show. Oh, if you like to do crafty stuff @artemisnorth has a show called The Coffee Hour on the Steem Ramble. Yes, you will love it here.
This definitely sounds like a great place to learn so many amazing things. However, I have been thinking about watching some of the dtube videos. Can you suggest any good ones?
Well, of course! You really need to check out @xcountytravelers' daily vlog series. They were challenged by @snook and I think they are addicted to the videos. There there is this new show called Chit Chat with @priyanarc and @blind-spot. Oh, they are just the cutest! Of course, that blind-spot will never let you see his eyes.
We have some amazing people here on the blockchain like @lifesacircus, she is an actress and performer; and then you must meet @katrina-ariel who has the voice of an angel.
Well, I hope to see you around!
Agree agree agree!!!!
What a splendid review, @heyhaveyamet! Thanks for the wonderful support you provide constantly. Happy and prosperous 2019!

For the first time ... Mum wanted the circus and the kids didn't hahaha
Loved this
Fun is good and fun people are even better
More More More :D
I think they wanted to stay close to my mom for her cooking. They often accused me of trying to kill them by way of cooking. They might be right.
Welcome to dtube mam
How did you know I was gonna do dtube? I am actually planning to do some videos soon.
I don't know mam, sorry
Mam you looks so cute, and welcome to dtube

Welcome to steemit! I really love what you said there that we should always have fun! Thanks for sharing this with us! May you enjoy steemit and have a wonderful day!
Thank you so very much. I have always tried to have fun. Unfortunately, there are times we have to pull up those big girl panties and be an adult. Well, no more! I do my best to just enjoy life. Thank you so very much.
Surprised to read you think 51 years makes you an old lady. LOL
Funny photos too. You really seem like a fun person to be around.
I really don't think it is old, its what the Grand Georges say. However, this week, i feel extremely old, but the health is improving so life is going to be ok.
Grand Georges ??
Hang tight, this is my next post for @rubberduckiemom! Spoilers!

I saw your post on the @pifc by @bengy congrats on the feature👍
Thanks sweetie! I just love that PIFC grabbed me up. It's been a while.
we grabbed you indeed and thid pifc'er is not letting go
That is fine with me! PIFC should be something I do with this account. You all always seem to have the best fun.
Quack!
Great introduction... and quite funny too. You seem to be a really fun and interesting lady. I'll follow you to see what you come up with, next.
PS: I found your post because @zorank featured you in his entry for the Pay It Forward Contest

Welcome! Haha oh I love the Tarzan picture! Some people are so creative. I’m too boring to think of something like that. What/who brought you to steemit?
Well thank you. I have to say, I was completely shocked by your Tarzan reference. I couldn't remember what I had said! Bwahahahahaa!
I have to be honest. My husband and I are on Steem as @xcountytravelers. We do a travel blog, but I do so many things other than travel on that account that I decided I needed my own place to have fun. Scott and I came to Steem because of another traveler. We love it here so much.
thanks so much for the welcome again.
Quack!
Hi @rubberduckiemom, welcome to Steemit, your post is brilliant, I’m glad to see you have received so many votes and views. You’ve got a great sense of humor, and attitude about life, and you understand that laughter is the best medicine. Keep spreading the laughter and love ❤️, it makes a great combination, good luck❣️
Thanks for the welcome! I try so hard to have a positive attitude. I have found life is better if you can get people laughing. You can then tell them anything and they usually aren't ready to chase you with pitchforks at that point!
Quack!
Ha ha your wonderful, blessings to you❣️
Hahaha! Better to pose with a statue than a mime! That can be a bit scary...
Hope you are on the mend...
Yeah, mimes are scary with the stripes and white face paint....
Congrats!! You've received a vote from @sndbox because @aftabkhan10 gave you a shout-out in the Welcome Wednesday contest.
I loved your intro post and was cracking up the whole time! Can't wait to see what other fun content you post! Feel free to reach out if you ever have questions. <3
Thank you so very much! I do appreciate your kind words. I just love that I could make you laugh!
Quack!
Congrats on being welcome Wednesday winner of @sndbox upvote.

Hey Ren! So? rubberduckiemom!! Love it :) I'm a firm believer in laughter making the world go round!
I found your post because @bengy featured you in a Pay it Forward Curation Contest entry. Please feel free to join us with an entry of your own any week :) We'd love to have you there!
Thank you so much @lynncoyle1. Yeah, Rubberduckiemom. It helps me do be able to have a bit of fun without making Scott wince. haha!
Quack!
Wow, what a wonderful post - and a great reception. I'll tell you right now that I want to be just like you when I'm old. :-)
You make me laugh so much - and that's something I love to do for others as well.
Great post! I found you because @bengy featured you in the Pay it Forward Curation contest. Keep up the great work!
That @bengy! He is such a sweetheart! I am so glad it made you laugh!
If you would, take a look at my two daughters who have just started here in the community. @lightfootedbird and @andiekins. They really shocked me at how wonderful they have done. So much better than me.
Quack!
Ducks are my absolute favorite!!! I used to raise runners myself. I miss waterfowl so much. My toulouse geese were impulse purchases, lol... (I'd raised some quail... and traded them for these big balls of fluff! I should just write posts about some of these things...) Anyway, I'd come home from school and these two geese would run up the driveway to greet me, honking, flapping their wings... I'd pick the male up and he'd put his wing around me - just like he was hugging me.
I picked up @andiekins as a "follow" earlier thanks to @macoolette featuring her in the contest too. Awesome that everyone is getting so involved!
Oh, I knew there was a reason I liked you! My daughter @andiekins has these two geese Hula and Hooper. She has a photo where she is carrying them. So funny. I just love ducks; not sure why.
I'm so glad you found her. She is just a ball of fun and energy. I love that she is on a farm now. She is so happy there!
Quack'R
Balls of fluff, plus the fact they're always smiling - two great reasons to love waterfowl right there!
Yes, balls of fluff are always awesome, until you are wearing black, then it's just ugly!
Quack
