Sounds like you lead an interesting life lone-ranger! I can sympathise with the Steemit mishaps - it's a tricky one to get a hang of at first.

But I've found the community to be extraordinarily supportive and friendly, especially so for a social media platform.

Hope you have a cracking time with Steemit, I'll keep an eye out for your stuff along the way :)

Welcome to Steemit buddy.
