OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1147th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

How this Works

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Time for pepper havesting

Today makes it seven days that I talk about my pepper farm weeding, that is when I realized that the farm is bushy, I actually realized that the some of the pepper are getting ready for harvesting.
So that's more reasons I needed to weed it so that does that needs more ventilation will get it and then, so ever since I weed the place I have dedicated more time going there to be checking and since I have a partner too he's also checking for me. Fortunately for me rain fell the second day I weed the pepper farm.

[ The Death of The Swans ]

It came to me like a guest, the thought that I would lose her again, squeezing harder and harder as a chain around my heart. I have been staying beside Caroline ever since she was months old. Her vintage golden hair, sparkling oceanic pupils, and those plum petals on her mouth were the same to Lyliac's. Sometimes I got stuck between the thoughts of her being Caroline or Lyliac and if I was loving her for who she had been or for the old contract my past had sinned.

That's what real people look like...

I love to write about this topic today, which is mother's day in my country, because I find myself in that truth, I am aging happily, stable and healthy. I cannot hide a single year lived, I have rather to thank God especially for each one of them, for the good times and for the bad also because the sum of all place me where I am today, just where I want to be.

Weekend Engagemnet Writing topics Week 153 // Doing it or not?

In answer to the question would I do it or not, the truth is I wouldn't, I consider it a betrayal of my best friend and a total lack of loyalty. The fact that he would never find out and that there is no guarantee, would not make me feel any better. For me the most important thing is the friendship of my best friend and being that man capable of making this kind of propositions is showing that he is not capable of valuing any woman, neither her nor me. That knowing that we are friends, he does not care about anything, that man is obviously not worth it, does not respect and does not know at all what the word loyalty means.

Focusing On School Right Now.

Initially, I didn't really put a lot of effort into school because I still didn't like the idea of doing it. We were even given about a month off because of the elections in the country and that was a huge relief for every student nationwide. After the break though, we had just a week or two before exams and that was when everyone began to panic. Of course, I had promised myself that I would study during the free month but I unsurprisingly did not stick to that plan. Being way behind in all my courses, I decided to put Hive aside and put all my focus in my school work.

Sunday Cooking and food prep

30 minutes on 180c/350f gave a good start and brought the internal temperature up two-thirds of the way. Another 30 minutes at 190c/375f took it all the way 55c/130f - If you're worried that is a little low, remember that the meat continues to cook while resting, which this did for 20 minutes.

Foodie Contest: BLUE DESSERTS || Delicious coconut preserves. [Esp-Eng]

Today I join the Foodie Contest: BLUE DESSERTS with a sweet of our Creole gastronomy, which reminds me a lot of my childhood, when I was 14 years old, I learned to make this wonderful and simple recipe from my grandmother. At that time my siblings, my cousins and I always looked forward to the day when we saw our grandmother buying coconuts because we knew she was going to prepare these delicious coconut preserves. Since then, I like to prepare them, although there are many 'online this one comes out very well, plus it is easy and quick to make only requires three ingredients. So do not lose sight of it to start making it.

Inconveniencing other people makes me sick to my stomach

The last time I used all of my power as a result of lack of electricity, I wanted to pay the fare to my former area to pay and charge. Over there, we had one man that ran a charging plant. All you have to do is offer your phone and charger and he will do the rest. He will give you a number tag so you can retrieve your devices when you return. A stipulated amount is paid before you get your devices.
This new area that I recently relocated to does not seem to have a place that runs charging ports. I don't know if they do because I haven't seen one nor have I asked around. The truth is this is a somewhat rich zone. Where there are lots of families trying to outdo one another. So everyone has their generators or solar. And at every given point, they power it on.

Fuck off, Mickey and Jerry!

Besides writing, I was organising my storage place when I found a mouse's house in one of the stored car's seat. Investigation had started, droppings and other damages were found. I had to throw some camping stuff because the mice nibbled at it. Also, we got rats recently. I don't know where the rats live and if they do live here, but I definitely know where the mice live. Or lived. It looks like they moved in last winter.
