Okay, I made it in ^_^
Also, case-in-point of what I just wrote in the reddit about all my tabs going nuts at the same time? I JUST SAW THAT A CRAP TON OF PEOPLE UPVOTED A BUNCH OF MY POSTS IN THE FEW MINUTES I WAS ON REDDIT!!
So yea... we alive I guess. And as I said there, I'm glad (for peace of mind and easy thankfulness) that I only just now discovered Steem while the prices are low. I can see this being, not only a good investment for the future, but also really fun, and 100% in line with the types of communities I've always wanted to create and join.
