I like to cook if there's someone else to help eat the food, but it's a bit of a chore to really "cook" when oneself is the only one that will be eating it. Most of the time, I "fix" something simple instead

This week, Ladies of Hive Community Contest #279 poses two questions /prompts crafted by @elizabethbit. Because of heritage of where I was born and raised, I simply could not leave question two unanswered.

In January 2025, I wrote a post about pitaya (called "dragonfruit" in English). Since it is a fruit that grows in tropical regions, it had been difficult to find in the areas where I've lived most of my

Long ago and on a 'legacy chain' far, far away, there lived a little challenge. It was was originated by @felobtc who was inspired by the post "THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME" by @lymepoet about the origin

Back in 2020, a sweet lady I already knew from the SilverGoldStackers (SGS) community (@silversaver888) told me about an idea she had for a new community on Hive. It would be a special place for women

In the days of our 'legacy chain,' our dear @snook periodically created writing challenges which the community seemed to enjoy. She has done it again by creating this revived Hive Community Challenge.

Since I am one of the community leaders in LadiesOfHive, I seldom enter the weekly contests as I do not think it ethical or fair for me to do so — at least not without disqualifying myself from

Have you ever entered a contest and did not know you had entered one? That very thing happened to me a while back! It was this past September, but I am so far behind on getting my drafts in PEAKD published.

Several members of the Silver Gold Stackers (SGS) community mentioned this coin over the past couple of years. It looked really pretty to me for several reasons. It has a lovely depiction of Lady Liberty

In the Pacific Ocean, there is an island known as Niue (pronounced: NEW'-way or knee-OO'-ay). It has an autonomous government by dispensation from New Zealand.[3] Niue decided to honor the goddess Athena,

Surprises in the mail are always nice 😁 and I was most surprised recently when a certain greeting card arrived in my mail box. The 'return address' spot on the envelope sported "Merry Christmas" and nothing

OK peeps, Christmas might be over for the rest of you, but today... Today Christmas came back to my house on FULL THROTTLE! Most of my hive buddies know I am a member of the Silver Gold Stackers community.

Hey everybody and thanks for stopping by! To go or not to go - that was the question. I’ve learned to wait and see when it comes to what’s going on for the day. We were uncertain whether or not we would

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by today! Sunday is always a good day as it begins with church. It was good worship and a good sermon. Afterwards, we came home and had a bite of lunch. I spent a

No matter how old silver is... Despite its condition... I treasure it! No matter how small... I value it! Although gold and silver are not by nature money... ... money is by nature gold and silver.

We've always been enthralled by stories of sunken treasures. And some of us just hope to come across them on the web or maybe buy a copy of one. What would you do if you a chance to buy a piece of history?

The dragon is the most important cultural and mythological symbol of China. It is also a favorite design of many coin collectors and precious metals stackers like myself. I have long been attracted to

Some of the beautiful things in are expressed in gold, other in silver, and still others in copper. These are some objets d'arts that I have collected. A girly skull... A craked skull... A half shell...

When prices are high a bit steep and buying the usual silver sounds unreasonable, why not buy something else. Like a generic silver, perhaps. Ummm... like a Sailing Vessel Silver Trade Unit1 troy ounce,

Someone asked me on Discord this week about the @innerblocks project. I gave them the information they needed, but thought it would also be a great idea to write about it here for those who might not have
