Thanks Hive account@futuristgear and Hive account@forever-gala for your upvotes. I was just going to end it all, but I couldn't resist taking one last look at this post's results before jumping out the window. As fate would have it, your kindly 100% upvotes were staring me in the face along with that gleaming $.76 earned for my efforts. You saved a life on a day when the blood on the streets is hip deep. You are truly decent humans doing your part for Steemit society.

I should be ashamed of myself for writing stories on how to make money on Steemit on a day when everything is going to Hell, but I guess hope truly does spring eternal.

Thanks again for your wise input.
