One of the things I dislike on Steemit is posts about how wonderful this guy is or that guy is... Give me a break- don't get too much shit on your nose blowing smoke up their ass! So now I'm writing one!!!
Anybody that reads my blog knows that I had some money troubles recently. The guy I take care of had his accounts hacked by some dude in India so the banks froze them all until things get sorted out. I posted yesterday or the day before about cashing in some SBD and had NO idea what was involved. I got some expert advice from several people. My friend @dwinblood was very helpful. I even had some expert coaching, step by step by @everettdmickey: BUT even with all of this extra help I'm 99.9% certain I would have screwed up the transaction. @papa-pepper to the rescue!
This great guy offered to drive almost all the way across Arkansas to pay cash for my crypto! Not only did he save me from starvation, he paid more than the going rate for SBD! But there was a side issue... as I warned @papa-pepper, the guy I take care of is a recluse. He's not really good around people so I knew this was going to be awkward- for me. I wanted to make this as pleasant for the Peppers as possible. My problem was to balance trying to be hospitable and making the Peppers feel comfortable against Mr. Grinch, the miscreant! When the whole Pepper clan showed up I was sunk!!! If the Grinch came home and saw (gasp) children... I shudder. He doesn't do well with adults but children... perish the thought. I have to go to visit my grandchildren. Don't get me wrong, he's not a bad person and I'm grateful for a place to live - he's just socially inept. I guess it comes from a life of privilege, I don't know.
@papa-pepper was right- it did feel kind of like a drug deal. I was trying to make them feel unweird, but at the same time, I have the guy that owns the house calling me up "Are they gone yet... call me when they're gone." I didn't feel awkward around @papa-pepper, @mama-pepper, or the @little peppers at all. I really wish I could have spent more time with them. If it had been my house, I would have insisted they spend the night. I wanted the @little-peppers to get a chance to play with Bruno who loves kids. His youngest daughter looks so much like my granddaughter it's uncanny...
And this is Sabina...
@papa-pepper...THANK YOU!!! God has blessed you with a beautiful soul and rewarded you with an incredibly beautiful family! I don't know what takes to be a credit to Steemit... it's just a place on the internet. I do know that you are a credit to the human race. I pray that someday we get a chance to spend some time in a more relaxed environment and get to know one another. I also hope Bruno gets to play with your kids. Oh, thanks for the bacon!!!
