I really appreciate the bonus, right about now I could use a head start on something haha!
I will be donating as well, have to figure out my finances, also need to get another donation in to @azurejasper. Actually I donated to girlbeforemirror's account before papa put out his challenge. I debated mentioning that, I don't need the alkalaids for it, but the community would have a boost on their part from it...what do you think, say something or no?

I would definitely mention it to @papa-pepper. I actually got a brief message to him in Steem.chat.
I cannot believe I'm being sucked into chatrooms again. Oy! I just want us to be on ONE SUPER PLATFORM!

I followed those folks you mentioned in your post. Now I really need to try and get some sleep! :P There are a few people from my Blab (livestreaming) and Bubblews (now defunct blogging) days. I need to check in on them to see how they're doing. @screenwriterml @colin-porter @lelandbest @anialexander @andyleeparker ... I know I'm forgetting a few but... sleeeepppppp Zzzzzz......

LOL! You can post something from the 7th. It's the unsaid "bonus" day. ha! Good lordy it's after 2 am and I need sleep. Get that screen shot in, woman!

Welcome to the Community Engagement Challenge @dreemit

I was hoping you'd swing by and play with us for a week. :) I just snagged a screenshot because no matter how hard I squinted, I couldn't see your numbers. LOL

okay, I was able to get your proper numbers! 6766 posts to start.

Shall we engage? :P

No touch screen? lol! I just put my fingers on the screen and spread (Actually it said 6766, but I can beat five hundred anyway, so it's all good)

I'm on an ancient laptop with a dead battery. I reject touch screens! LOL
The last time I had one was when I was taking online college courses. A damn fly kept on landing on my touch monitor. Well, I didn't know it was moving my mouse all over the place until I looked up from my typing and saw a jumbled MESS. I was cured from touchscreens ever since. LOL (My iPhone is the exception. It's only used for apps. No flies allowed.)

oh, and if it comes down to the wire...we'll use your start number. LOL

Anddd here is number two (which is inspired by and honors you)
Check me out, all rhymie and stuff lol

Thank you so much for this post. HUGS just don't seem to be enough.

Aw. You do so much Mer, there were several comments by some of the new newbies who couldn't say enough about the help you've been to them. You deserve waayy more recognition than this one post.

I'll take the hugs and raise them to big smooches lol!

We all started somewhere, right? Even the ones who aren't participating can learn from these conversation threads. And there is no way I can take all the credit. There are so many people on Steemit who are working just as hard to help our newest members.
So... I was reading something in one of your earlier posts about Steemfest. Will you be going to Portugal this year?

I kept trying to resteem and it was the weirdest thing, the round and round loading feature was doing this wobbly thing. Or maybe it's just my eyes because it's so late...lol!

GENERIC MESSAGE FOR @dreemit

I'm getting organized! Please include the link to future challenge posts here. You do not have to copy your previous links if they have already been added to the Daily Diary. Thank you! <3 Meredith

Oh good, I was just going to randomly pick comments from you to link them to....LOL

Yooohooooo! I'm sniffing around for your post today! :D

Crap!! Haha, I put the link on here to today's post about two hours ago, which was already late, but I responded to my own comment.

I gotcha! ;)
I'm actually going to wait to do a final sweep through the actual post as I go through the comments thread. Might have to do a sister post for new links. This one has truly earned "the BEAST" nickname. This is getting nuts. ha!

My computer would most humbly thank you if you did a sister post, haha! It is really difficult to get the comment section to load with my dinosaur! I need to get a new laptop, this is clear. Though the one I want is going to have to wait until our winter business is in full swing, so this old girl has to keep on chugging for several months :)

I know this feeling. I want to save up for a much coveted macbook even though I've been a PC girl forever. New post for links coming up this evening after I get the Daily diary posted :)

Ahh, well you won't find it because I used today to ready a few posts in a row instead of putting one up ;) I've been having some trouble with my camera uploading which I finally sorted out.

Sorry it's so late in the day, I tried doing it earlier but sometimes this old laptop has trouble loading posts with large comment sections, lol, here it is:
