I took a night off Donald Marshall posts as it was getting under my skin a little.

When the good lady says it is all you talk about and research, you know you need a night off.

What is steemit to you, or me?

Without wanting to make this a post to just big up other people for up votes, I want to explain my steemit experience and who has helped me, guided me, and supported me the most.

In at number 1 for inspiration, style I adopted sort of, and for up votes when nobody else noticed me is Hive account@perceptualflaws.
& then Hive account@freebornangel equally, without the two of them I would have walked away months ago. Hive account@freebornangel delegated me sp early on, when steemit was a mess and unusable also. And he still does.
In at 3 is Hive account@fulltimegeek, because he wears his heart on his sleeve, and does the right thing, even when it is losing him money, he is also my largest contributor in sbd terms on here, even though I have zero idea or inclination how to spend it.
In the charts this week at 4 are 3 people, 2 ladies 1 man, Hive account@lyndsaybowes, if you do not know her, then you are not following the right people, is deliberators verdict, Hive account@amariespeaks who is a wonderful person & Hive account@hendrix22 who also selflessly gives away returns, for the benefit of steemits future.
In at 5 is my old friends Hive account@davemccoy & Hive account@mudcat36 who I had so much fun working with.
In at 6 is Hive account@abh12345 as he is a true gent and loves the platform and is honest as the day is long.
In at 7 is Hive account@v4vapid, whether he knows it or not, waking up to one of his up votes makes people smile and happy.
There are 100's more people to be honest I would like to thank, though for now that is my top 10.

So many people help each other.

On here, and it is amazing to see, and be part of, and the amount of good people on here is exhilarating, none of us have to be in total agreement with each other, that is life, and none of us have to be right in everything we say, opposite opinions are healthy, and debate is good, I do not want everyone driving the same car in the same colour, living in the same house.

I would also like to big up and thank some newer friends in Hive account@informationwar Hive account@dwinblood Hive account@newsagg who have all been very supportive, also Hive account@truthforce and Hive account@jimbobbill.

I can think of 100's, more people to thank, though for now that is it, thank you all for the very warm welcome here, and may we have many years more success to come.
