I had a feeling it was coming and @davemccoy and I thought it was going to be @glenalbrethsen who de-throned me:) I'm ok with that, he totally deserves it, and the weight of that thing on my head was beginning to get to me haha
I actually took a couple days to spend more time with Brian and then yesterday, which is normally my day to go hard in the home stretch, my computer decided to die on me! We spent the better part of the day resurrecting it, and then the evening trying to replace all the lost files. So be it. It's the beginning of another week, and my head already feels a little too light for my liking haha
Congratulations to you! Turn your "shame" into "action" and get back in the race buddy :)
I won't forget being part of your kingdom for those few weeks my royal Queen. I am now kicked off the top rank and won't be a part of anyone's kingdom for some time!
Right? I completely get you.
I hope you were able to recover some of the lost files. I store so many things on my laptop and do try to back it up as often as I can..but have been lazy lately to do that too!
You can bounce back this week! but before that
Hey, @beeyou.
You're welcome to hang out with all of us still. I guess if I'm being called a king and this is my kingdom, you're welcome to reside and thrive and flourish in it as much as you like. :)
Do I have to make that a formal decree or something? Or did I just do that? :)
When you are the King, you just say stuff and everyone does it... Its great! lol :P
That's probably way too much power for me, or for anyone to bear. As wise old Ben Parker once said, "With great power comes great responsibility."
That being said, I did actually intentionally decree that everyone enjoy Mexican food this week (which means I need to make sure my wife cooks on the day she has off). So, if people actually do go out and celebrate their individual efforts, it'd be cool to know what everyone had. :)
I love Mexican food so since you decreed it, then I will have to go to my favorite little mexican restaurant.. I will take a pic of it and send you! (always good to be in good with the king) :P
hahaha brown-noser Dave!
I'm with you on that....
So, hey! @glenalbrethsen, I bet I could find a good Mexican restaurant to do the same haha
You better, considering you're in Mexico and basically surrounded by fine Mexican cuisine.
In fact, I would expect to eat something cooked in banana leaf! Can't remember exactly what it's called but we had something in banana leaf when we were down the last time we were in the Cancun area. They didn't call it a tamal, and it wasn't pibil, which I've also had. It had another name something that sounds similar to ishote ixshote and it was awesome.
Anyway the cuisine on your side of Mexico is fairly distinct is what I'm trying to get at, so I would hope you would come up with something special. :) @leeart has already posted her pic, so it's up to everyone else now. :)
haha... how could you tell.. :P .
And the funny thing is I do love Mexican food, especially american mexican food :)
If by 'take a pic of it and send you' you mean make a comment here with the pic, that would be great. Otherwise, I might have to give you my email address or something. Unless you already have that. Because you were king once.
Wait. Is that part of the gig, too?!
Whoa.
Step away from the power, Glen. Slowly. Slowly.
hahahaha this made me laugh!!!
Hey King Glen! Don't get too used to the sound that buddy hahaha
She said as she sped at 500 mph through all of the comments that were left waiting for her since she's been gone well over a day. Varoooooooooom!
Well, I fully expect it to be a battle this week, so let's all do our best and see how it shakes out. :)
hahaha @ginabot did have a terribly high number beside her face, waiting for me! I have gotten through a big chunk of them, but no worries, I only type about 120 words/min so I'm sure you're fine ;)
I'll never forget "out" kingdom either @beeyou! I have such fond memories of it all :)
Of course you "get" me...we are one and the same there! So get off your "lazy" behind and get moving haha
By the way, you are anything but lazy! I know you always say that, but I've walked in the shoes of a mom with two little kids, a job, and now steemit...please! You should have a crown just for doing all of that.
I restored some files but all of my 'notepad' files with links to everything here since I started are gone :( Stupid me; I saved them to the desktop only for easy access...wasn't thinking that one through at all!
Sorry, I'm late.
I was just telling @maverickinvictus that it was because you took off the time you did that I finished on top this week, so I'm fully expecting a run for my money this time around. :)
You might be joking about the crown weighing on you, but when I found out I was wearing it for the week, it was weird—like I was the usurper or something. I definitely feel a responsibility (even though I'm even sure what that responsibility is).
Regardless, you still had over 170 more comments than me, even in a down week! People keep saying they saw me everywhere, but you're everywhere is still much larger than my everywhere, apparently.
So, anyway, I hope that the laptop is fixed and that you can spend as much time as you normally do on Steemit this week. However, Brian is much more important, so please do what you have to do (you don't need me to tell you that). I'm hopeful, though, that he will have a good week, too. :)
I'm the one who's late :)
There really is a sense of responsibility that comes with the crown! I thought it was just me overthinking it all. The pressure is off of me though, so I decided to do what I do, and let the chips fall where they may! That crown suits you buddy...at least for this week haha
Yeah. Weird, because I'm still in catch up mode on my feed and now I'm catching up to your catching up.
I don't know if any of this suits me, let alone crown, but hey, I'm doing it.
I'm glad t's lifted a burden for at least a week. If you do take it back, it will be your doing, though. :) I think it's a great idea to just do what we do and see what happens. I don't really know how it could be otherwise. We'll just keep racing to the top each week and see however many others want to come with us. :)
At some point, though, I need to get faster so I can cut back on the time I'm spending doing this.
Catch up on the catch up on the catch up. No mustard.
I don't know where that came from, but it seems like something I'd say to @themanwithname
I too have re-evaluated a bit to spend a little less time on steemit, as much as I enjoy it!
and by the way, where did leeart post her Mexican meal? :)
I was feeling that I was in catch up mode the whole week with comments on my own blogs. Not to self its hard to post twice a day and expect to reply to all comments haha.
I will try my best hahaha
Yes and you can see @maverickinvictus, I don't post as many as my own blogs, so I hear exactly what you're saying :)
It is a challenge but I try my best to reply back even if it takes me 4 days hahha
I can feel that one too!!
Yes we called that one, didn't we? :) ... I'm glad you got a week off Lynn, so now you can figure out an even better strategy... But I think that Glen is a worthy competitor, he has had the gift of gab since I first met him here months ago...
And a way to give it back to @maverickinvictus... that's great how you threw this in his face:
Yes we did call it Dave; it came as no surprise to me!
Glad you liked my "cheerleading" there too :)
is that what that's called??? I thought it was called
What was it to you @maverickinvictus?
bahahaha I think cheerleading sounds a bit more positive, but this is pretty damn funny ;)
I'm on a roll ;)
