Yeah, I think stuff like that is frustrating. Seems like Steemit is kind of in a static phase with not enough development being done to encourage communities to develop. At the very least, I console myself

Thank you :) I'm glad to have chosen well. Wow, I'll certainly be praying for you all. I've never made such a long trip with my boys when they were younger. How long will you be back in the states? And

Yup. That's why I don't randomly follow people on here. If I follow someone, it's because I do want to stay in touch and I do read my feed. Glad to hear you and your wife are starting some PhD's! Very

Man, this was really huge. So grateful!

Yeah, there are ways to do that. And I have pretty decent numbers on Twitter and Facebook, but I'm keeping those these two worlds separate. I'm essentially blogging anonymously on here so I can feel free

Ahhh!! Now it all makes sense, lol. I saw your comment on @ned's post and I commented on it ;) Good for you. There's a surprising lack of self-awareness on the part of some people on Steemit. But, then
