Just a quick...
Just a quick follow up on yesterday’s Daily Dose where I suggested that when folks decide to give up here on steemit that they delegate their SBD out so it just doesn’t sit idle doing nothing.
I went through the...
I went through the list of people that I have that I follow and decided just to take a look there and see just how much SBD is sitting in accounts that haven’t posted in the last two months just to try and get an idea of some sort of number. I basically did some wallet snooping before Joel O’Steen came on the TV to preach to me.
One thing I didn't...
One thing I didn’t think about, and thanks to 
She had to give up writing on here but she did have some curation accounts that she trailed with her votes so she upped her % of her votes so that her SBD she has would at least be utilized daily so kudos to her for having the good of the community in mind.
So that is another way to make sure when you are going to be gone is to at least set up an auto vote on a curation trail.
I noticed a couple...
The other thing and I noticed a couple of folks had done as well was to lease their SBD to a bot voting service. I am not a fan of bots per say and I am not big on the whole buying and selling votes for a price like those do; but it is surely a way to grow your account and it is your earnings or investment you put in; so that should surely be a consideration as well.
The whole point...
The whole point of yesterday’s Daily Dose was just don’t let your funds sit in your wallet doing nothing to help the community or yourself. Each day that it sits there doing nothing is a day wasted and no one wins in that situation.
I had cleaned...
I had cleaned up my list of accounts I follow back earlier in the year and had already deleted a bunch of accounts that had gone dormant so I only have 136 accounts I follow.
But even after having done that about six months ago I still had a pretty fair number of accounts that had been more than 60 days without any posts or comments so I counted those in my total of SBD for this exercise. I did look to see if they had any earnings coming in to their wallets from delegating their funds and if they did I didn’t include them in my count of SBD sitting idle.
The total I came...
The total I came up with that I could see was $10,506.42 in SBD that seems to be sitting idle. Some may have the auto-voting trails set up but I wasn’t going to take the time to try and investigate that, I have better things to do with my time. But even if half of those folks did and only say $5,000 SBD was sitting idle from these accounts that is still a waste.
So if there are...
So, if there are any folks out there who are really good at writing code or programming and have some extra time on their hands,(hint; maybe like 
Will it change...
Will it change anything? Probably not in the short term, but it may just get people to discuss with new folks on here that possible situation. So that if they find this place not quite to their liking or in the event something happens and they have to give up here for a while, that even the small amounts of SBD and steem they have can help make a difference to the platform.
Just put it to work...
So if they would; just put it to work before the door hits them in the ass on the way out. They can always come back and open the door and collect later or get back involved so it is a win / win situation instead of everybody losing.
In other news...
In other news …Sunday I was able to get out of having to go pass out candy at the church Trunk or Treat. The oldest boy had off from work on Sunday afternoon and so I was able to get him to take my spot. The less I have to do with anything with that church right now the better off I am.
Today I will be...
Today I will be heading off to Dallas, TX where I will be working up there thru Thursday so unfortunately that means I will be missing out on Halloween night and trick or treating with Shortie. She is the only one we have that is still young enough in our eyes to trick or treat. She isn’t even a big fan of candy so if it is hot or rainy she will more than likely pass on going but she has a really neat costume this year.
Her costume is...
Her costume is an inflatable sloth costume complete with its own battery operated air pump, I don’t know how much that cost me either. She and her mother picked that up somewhere and they never said the price. I can tell you one thing, if it is hot outside that costume will be miserable to be wearing; it will be like walking around inside a full bodied plastic bag.
I don't know...
Dallas is where...
Anyway, Dallas is where I am heading and there just happens to be a couple good BBQ places along the way up to Dallas on I-45 so I will most likely be eating BBQ today at a place called Sam’s. It is located just about Mexia, Texas on the north bound side of the interstate so it is easy off and easy back on to the freeway. It also happens to be a buffet, which is a big plus in my book when it comes to BBQ joints.
For those of you...
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Mexia, TX and in your mind read it as “Mex ee uh” you really butchered the pronunciation of it. Phonetically it is pronounced “Meh hey uh” and there are probably only one of two reasons you might even have heard of Mexia, TX.
The two reasons...
One would be Sam’s restaurant and the other would be the name Anna Nicole Smith, she was the young Playboy Playmate who married some old oil tycoon named J. Howard Marshall when he was 89 and she was I think 25 or 26, somewhere in her mid twenties though.
Those would probably be the only two reasons, other than that; Mexia doesn’t have much going for it when it comes to reasons to remember it.
Ya’ll have a great Monday; and remember that I “will eat BBQ for U.”
Note: Thanks for reading the Daily Dose.
