With #sb-chronicles... we are posting a question on Mondays, prompting anyone who wants to join in to write their own "Silverblogger" Chronicle for future generations to read! If you feel like suggesting a next prompt yourself... please feel welcome to contact one of the "Silverators" !
SILVERBLOGGERS CHRONICLES #20:
FADS|TRENDS THAT FADED OR MADE A COMEBACK
Tell us about fads you remember from your teenage years, those that only lasted a short while, and those that made a comeback! If you're old enough, like me, you will remember the Beatles' hairstyle, the shaggy-dog; mini-skirts, as well as midi-skirts; hot pants and long white boots, bell-bottoms, tie-dyed everything, and scarves with every outfit. Fads also happened in the house; Fondue parties, Prawn cocktails, Tupperware, Pressure Cookers, etcetara!
I'm sure you remember many fads from yesteryear, those that faded, never to be seen again, and some that made a comeback. Please tell us about it.

The Idea of the Chronicles
...kinda started when our community advisor SilverScribe came up with the Memoir Mondays. A new topic/question every Monday for a whole year, and we all loved it so much that we've fallen into a kind of writer's block since the "end" of it. Not really, but still...
So what could be more obvious than to continue somehow? Something has to be done to tackle writer's block, or even the ‘all-time low’ at Hive...
The Silverators started brainstorming the hows and the whens to get an idea of what we could all share for the best of our community. To have a sort of "running gag" that never gets old.
In the synonyms for the word memoir, we can find - chronicle. Now, that was it.... our own chronicles! The Silverbloggers Chronicles! The place where we all keep our memories to share with the future. The library of a silly, wild bunch of Silvers. The Silvery Book of the Wise! Hehehe
On Winning the Prize ?!
We are all winners in this by supporting each other in the community, be it with an upvote, a tip, and/or a kind comment...
Since we "all" know that many are just chasing big votes, with not doing much at all, running behind the whales to get them to pay attention, craving for a vote of lots of dollar$. Or the ones being "good (?) followers" and trying to benefit from the Vitamin Relation until there's a Lambo in sight...!
We feel this is the wrong way. A community should be there for each other, even if many humans are conditioned differently. It's more about putting the ego-selfish-ego aside, because life is not about money, it's about joy/happiness. That everyone gets support for their best they give to the community.
You may say it's good to have dreams? Yes, we live these dreams to achieve the best for everyone. Remember - joy/happiness?!
Why are we even writing about this while promoting the Chronicles for our community? It's to make us all realise that many members don't get high-profile support, but we can "help" ourselves. Also, to understand that the idea of a memoir library for future generations is probably not the way to get rich, to finally get that Lambo. It's about sharing viewpoints, knowledge, and the occasional good laugh. It's about individuals, nature, and happiness. And be sure, we continue to curate the pearls in our midst!
Last words...
We would love to get more eyes on this post and all community posts from - @hive-106316 - our Silver Bloggers Mother Account. This is why we make a point of reblogging your posts. Please do the same?!
