Hi everyone ... a shout out to all of you from under the covers of my blankets whilst I recover with covid πŸ’— Day 6 and still testing positive. I am doing ok, just need a lot of bed rest!!! It's not been a fun week by any means but there are a lot who have struggled far more than I have so I am simply grateful that it has not been as severe as it could have been.

It's been a week of extreme fatigue, horrendous consuming headaches, and a multitude of flu symptoms, but my lungs remain clear so I feel blessed. Alive and thriving despite the illness. Thank you to all those who have dropped me get well messages here on Hive and in Discord. You are all very much appreciated πŸ’—

I'm ready to share the love and pay it forward once again❣️

Anyway, let's get straight to the contest, shall we? πŸ˜€

This month I thought I would tie in with @guiltyparties' theme of:

Community Celebration.

If you haven't seen his post yet you can check it out:
here.

He is running a community celebration week starting Sunday 13th Feb.

My post for his challenge can be found:
here

Now, to enter this month's Paying it Forward Contest, I am asking you to try out my favourite community, and the one closest to my heart...

Dreemport

.
(Edit: If you are DREEMPORT STAFF you can enter my contest...just drop to the very end of this post to find out your own different requirements to gain entry, because of course we cannot submit our own posts to Dreemport😊)

Steps to enter (Please complete all of them to qualify):

  1. Read my Community Celebration post above about Dreemport
    .

  2. Follow the instructions in @dreemsteem's linked post in (1) above, on how to use Dreemport, and register on Dreemport (it is quick and easy I promise!)
    .

  3. Share at least one post URL (your own posts only please) in Dreemport next week (Mon-Fri).
    Although it will be highly advantageous for this contest for you to use Dreemport as much as possible next week... see the contest entry allocation details below to find out why!!!
    .

  4. Tag 3 people and invite them to take part in the contest.
    .

  5. Comment on this post the first time that you share in Dreemport next week with a link to the post that you shared ... I will check the number of posts logged against your name in Dreemport at the end of the week and award you the appropriate number of entries.
    If you enter the Dreemport Challenge next Thursday, please also link that post too! Please only use one comment to make it easier for me to manage, and just keep updating that single comment with any additional notes. You can also add confirmation of your reblog in your comment if you choose to reblog the celebration post.
    .

  6. After using Dreemport, add a comment to my Dreemport Celebration post about your experience of using Dreemport.

Note: You may share one PG13 post per day to Dreemport and you may share 5 days a week (Monday - Friday). On the weekends the staff at Dreemport and the Dreemport public curators rest hehe.

Contest entries:

Now...this is probably gonna make reasonable sense to most of you lols... but the more often you post in Dreemport next week, the more entries you will be awarded into my prize draw at the end of the week, and trust me...you don't want to miss out this month as the prizes have been boosted!

This is how entries will be allocated:

You will gain 1 entry into the contest draw for each day that you post in Dreemport (Mon-Wed, and Fri).

If you enter the Dreemport Challenge on Thursday and submit your challenge post to Dreemport on Thursday, I will award you 3 entries for that post alone! The link to the challenge for this past week is in my Community Celebration post (so you can get an idea of what it is about) but you can follow @bluefinstudios for next week's GROVID22 Challenge post details to make sure that you...

DO NOT MISS OUT!!!

And, if you submit a post all 5 days to Dreemport, you will receive another 2 bonus entries into the draw.

Finally, provided you have used Dreemport at least one day next week, if you also reblog my Community Celebration Post (not this contest post), you will get another entry too.

So, there are a massive 10 possible entries available to you in the draw. Please note: simply tagging and reblogging will not gain you any entries to the draw; you must submit at least one post to Dreemport too.

Each time you share a post to Dreemport, which meets the community standards, you will be awarded Dreem tokens too!!! They are usually awarded the following Tuesday but occasionally can take a week or two to come through.

And the draw is a very nice one this month!!!

Prizes will be drawn randomly using random.org.

As always there will be one guaranteed prize for the highest drawn new Hiver (someone who registered on Hive on or after 1 November 2021).

Prize list: 17 Prizes on offer

New Hiver Prizes:
1 x 10 HIVE (liquid) - Sponsored by @penderis (THIS WILL BE AWARDED TO THE HIGHEST DRAWN NEW HIVER)

1 x 50 HIVE delegation - (3 MONTH DELEGATION AWARDED TO THE HIGHEST DRAWN NEW HIVER WHO ALSO HAS HP UNDER 200)

The following prizes are open to all:

1 x 20 HIVE (liquid) - Sponsored by @penderis
NOTE: IF THE HIGHEST DRAWN NEW HIVER BY CHANCE WINS THIS PRIZE THEN THE 10 HIVE PRIZE MENTIONED ABOVE WILL FALL TO THE GENERAL DRAW WHERE ALL ENTRANTS ARE ELIGIBLE.

5 X 2HBI

3 X 20 LUV tokens

3 x 20 PIZZA tokens

1 x 16 LOL tokens

1 x 500 VYB delegation (3 months)

1 x 500 POB delegation (3 months)

To kick things off I will tag all those who have entered one of the past 2 contests:

@deraaa, @agreste, @ayesha-malik, @flamistan, @itsostylish, @khaleesii, @creativemary, @yaziris,
@alekst7, @calumam, @amberkashif, @khoola, @queenstarr, @rentmoney, @preets, @calumam, @liftslikealady, @dreemsteem, @drabs587, @mcyusuf, @kaerpediem, @mmykel, @consciouscat, @kimikimi, @joseph23, @pixiepost, @mineopoly, @funshee, @deraaa, @popmanj, @bobthebuilder2, @princessj190, @doziekash, @shawnmichael-gt (let me know if you would like to be removed from the list and not tagged again next month)

and a few more shout-outs... to those whom I don't think will mind being tagged as a one-off for a community celebration contest and who either already use Dreemport or I think would enjoy using Dreemport if they gave it a try πŸ™‚ - and it makes sense to enter the contest if you're already using Dreemport, right? ;-)

Also tagging to give you the best chance of obtaining the maximum number of entries in the draw, should you choose to take part.

@cool08, @blackdaisyft, @jin-out, @joalheal, @ladytitan, @deeanndmathews, @abmakko, @hazem91, @hopestylist, @blezyn, @merit.ahama, @mezume, @thealbytross, @ifarmgirl, @shiftrox, @litguru, @wongi, @b0s, @jaxsonmurph, @nkemakonam89, @peaq, @drakernoise, @darkflame, @davidbright, @snook, @beeber, @jessicaossom, @iskafan, @princessbusayo, @cynshineonline, @wil.metcalfe, @chincoculbert, @shubhwaj, @leifasaur, @vikbuddy, @tanjakolader, @amirtheawesome1, @jamerussell, @scholaris, @nonsowrites

Let's do this and make Dreemport rock next week in the spirit of Community Celebration peeps😍... and keep me and the other screeners busy with screening all your lovely posts... but we don't mind that...

We love reading them all πŸ’—

EDIT: Now as I have edited in at the outset, I don't want anyone to be excluded so if you are DREEMPORT GUILD or ADMIN or any other designation within DREEMPORT STAFF, you can enter... and here is how...

FOR DREEMPORT GUILD/ADMIN

  1. In support of Guilty's Community Celebration week, write a post on any aspect of Dreemport that you love...this can be your own experience of being a part of Dreemport or using Dreemport, (using the #dreemer tag) = 3 entries
  2. write a post in Hive Garden in support of the Dreemport Challenge this week = 3 entries
  3. Do both (1) and (2) above and get an extra 1 bonus entry.
  4. Comment on my Celebration post (and you may share links to your own celebration post there too 😊) = 1 entry
  5. Share my Celebration post = 1 entry (if you have also taken part in at least (1) or (2) above)
  6. tag 3 people = 1 entry (if you have also taken part in at least (1) or (2) above)

Make sure you create a comment on the contest post where you update what you have done so that it can be verified to ensure you are awarded the correct number of entries to the contest.

Excellent to hear...just tag them in the comments here my friend. The earlier you tag them, the greater opportunity they have to take part too πŸ’— The posts that you submit to Dreemport are just your normal posts that you make anyway... or maybe you will be inspired to post daily next week and post to Dreemport each day too hehe

Hey Samantha, I admire your strength, even with the way you feel you're still paying it forward once again. You'll be fine soon enough, just be hopeful, we're all praying for you my dear.

It's a great Contest and a great way to support the #dreemport community and best of all a chance to give authors the exposure they desire.

Well, I'm going to try my best to make it from mon-friday, let's go !! β€οΈβœ…βœ…

Hi, @samsmith1971, glad you're recovering from the covid and that it was nothing serious! I didn't know Dreemport, thanks for the recommendation, it's a very interesting idea. I already did my reading homework, created my account, did my first curation and left a link. hope to be inspired to write next week! It's not on the list of conventional medicines, but I hope it helps you in recovery a slice of !PIZZA

Thanks! Yes, all very simple and nice. On my first day I came across all hive's post on gardening, which is a subject I'm very interested in and would like to spend more time on someday (I have a large neglected garden). Anxious already to see what I get tomorrow.

As it is the weekend, you will see your results on Monday morning. The cycle runs from 4am UTC to midnight UTC for curation and posting. Then from midnight UTC until 4am Dreemport is closed for curation/posting and there is time for Dreemport screeners to attend to final screening of posts to clear them through to the next day's cycle. Hope that helps. And yes today you would have seen week 2 of the Dreemport Challenge posts that were submitted on Thursday. So next week Mon-Wed and Friday you can submit any of your posts to Dreemport (one a day max) but on Thursday you can submit a challenge post in response to the Dreemport Challenge post by @bluefinstudios which should come out on Monday I think... Next week will be the final week of the Gardening challenge so if you love gardening, please do get involved and have fun... !ALIVE

Your poem is highly complex, although maybe it is due to the Deepl translation. Is this a poem about colonialism?

Thanks so much for reading! It's not specifically about colonialism, but there is some of that. There are some crossover stories: that of a real case of massacre of an indigenous people by a poisoned whale, and that of a legend of another native people about a land whale. But I would say that the theme of the poem is multiplicity and consciousness. Anyway, I love that other meanings appear that I didn't see in my own poem.

Hi @samsmith1971 just to let you know that I have signed up for Dreemport. I have read and curated my first five posts and left comments. I then ranked them and followed the directions (which are spot on by the way).

I then submitted this article https://ecency.com/hive-161155/@freewritehouse/a-picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words-2122022
Not sure of the protocol for submissions that are part of a writing contest?

I left a comment on your community post about my experience with Dreemport and I reblogged it.

I have previously tagged three people in this comment thread!

Lastly, I believe there is a discord server, which I will find, once I have watched the footy and written a post for publishing on hive tonight!

THIS is a very very good question @amberkashif... and I don't want anyone excluded so...how about this then? What if the Guild/ADMIN does the following to earn entries... and you can add ideas if you want to as well 😊 How about any value add activity to support Dreemport in Community Celebration week will earn extra entries into the draw? So here are some ideas...if you have any other, feel free to add them in, and feel free to tag any other Guild or Admin...I'll tag a few more before the weekend is up... from whoever has not been tagged yet...that may be interested too and you guys can also take part and enter❣️❣️❣️

I will also update my post...

FOR DREEMPORT GUILD/ADMIN

  3. Do both (1) and (2) above and get an extra 1 bonus entry.

All... if anyone sees this comment... because you love engagement and read all the comments, right? hehe ... then can I encourage you to visit one of the posts that each of your fellow contestants link here in their comments ...I don't expect you to read everyone's but if you could visit a few authors and show them some love, that would be wonderful. I will be visiting each and every person's blog who enters this contest, reading at least one of their Dreemport submissions (maybe more if their posts fall into my screening remit next week), and upvoting.

Just saw the tag and I think I need to re-read this again to understand fully more about this contest and I can see it's an easy thing. Perhaps I might try because I am also preparing for my final exams next week and the upper one.

I hope you recover quickly and get back on track. So sorry about the situation. All is well Sam β™₯️

Thank you Jaco❣️ I was just saying to Funshee that I have been so very tired today... after a good night's sleep last night I woke this morning late...but could only manage a few hours before heading back to bed...I even forgot I had a couple of hours of waking time this afternoon... it all blurs together... and then I slept again for a few more hours... now I honestly don't know whether I slept an extra 5 or 7 hours today ... oh well... I guess it doesn't matter... I woke up 3 hours ago after a long afternoon/evening sleep and am tired again. I think I may do something I don't do much of these days and just sit and watch some telly for a bit to switch off and then go back to bed. My clock is so screwed up...

Hi, Sam! Apologies for the late reply... As you know by now, I had major computer problems and I had to settle for another computer. Now I have to transfer everything I need to this computer and I am now trying to catch up with everything.

I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better! That is awesome! I think you should still try to take it calm though until you're not so tired anymore.

Oh, we are enjoying her so much. Although we try to give her and my daughter some space to also get some rest. But I had the privilege of taking them to the pediatrician today for their first check-up. The results were great! They are both doing great! Thank you!

That is so wonderful to hear Jaco❣️ She is a true blessing to you allπŸ’— Ugh computer issues...it's nice getting a new pc/laptop but the pain of getting it all set up is not enviable hehe. But I do like having a nice clean hard drive haha. I really need to do some maintenance on mine... I think it needs a good Spring clean !LOLZ !ALIVE

Thank you @funshee... I was very fatigued again today. After 8+ hours sleep last night, I woke after 10am, was awake for 3.5 hours, went back to sleep for 2 hours, awake 15 minutes or so, and back to sleep for another 3 hours... the fatigue and brain fog is something else πŸ™

hi @blezyn... I am beating it hehe, thank you...just still very tired. Mon, Tues, Wed and Fri this week you may share any post in Dreemport provided it is PG13 ;-) On Thursday this week you may only share a Dreemport Challenge post which this week centres around Hive Garden Community and the GROVID22 challenge created by @bluefinstudios. Watch out for his post drop early this week so that you know what to share on Thursday in Dreemport. You may post the GROVID22 challenge post any day of the week in Hive but just make sure it is only shared to Dreemport on Thursday.

Hi there @samsmith1971 it has been a while since talking to when and I'm sorry to hear that you got COVID-19 😫 I hope you are feeling better by now and getting lots of bed rest πŸ™

First of all, I thank you for tagging me to your post! 😊 Really loved the ideia and I'm gonna try to complete all the task during the week ^^ Already joined Dreemport and you're right! It was supper easy. I'll do some curation tomorrow and see how it works πŸ˜‰

I've been in the Three Tune Tuesday quite consistentely and I've been having a hard time to make time to try new community contests πŸ™ˆ There are so many I want to join and mainly I'm really slow in writting and in my everyday life I don't usually have all the space (ie., alone time) I need. But I have a plan πŸ’ͺ! After I explore a bit more of Dreemport and get to the curation process I will post my next #ttt post there 😁 I'll keep you updated πŸ€—

Feel better! Sending lots of !LUV from Portugal

Thank you @blackdaisyft. Improving all the time. I am looking forward to seeing your posts in Dreemport this week, be it one or more, whatever you can manage. I do hope you enjoy it. If you join the discord and pop into PYPT (Pimp Your Post Thursday)... even if you just want to listen in to the call at first, it is very enjoyable and you get a real sense of community. You will find people that you have not connected with before, commenting on your posts when you use Dreemport as different people get to read your posts and hopefully you will make some new connections too.

Remember that if you curate tomorrow then you must share your post URL tomorrow before the deadline. Each day there are 5 posts available to curate if you are intending to share a post. You don't have to curate/post every day but the more regularly you do it, the more feedback and connection you get and the more dreem tokens you earn. If you curate on Monday but don't share a post on Monday, the system resets Tuesday so you would need to curate again on Tuesday before being able to share your link to your post.

Thank you! I didn't fully understand that until you explained it so well 😊 I think I'll do some curation today anyway although I don't have a new post just yet. Just to get a feeling of Dreemport πŸ˜‰

hi @ghost.queen, we cannot see your post in Dreemport. Did you register, curate 5 articles in Dreemport and then link your URL. Did you verify your email? I have had an admin check and they say there is no submission from you as yet (?) Happy to help if needed...

That is strange and yes I curated and submitted. Here are some screenshot. In one of the screenshots, it shows my curation cycle which confirms curation on 15 february. On the other screenshot, there's no record of my submission.

Sorry I would have to test more parameters surrounding, please try submitting again or if you really want to submit something else I will guest author submit this one for you. Keep in mind any errors that may be reported back when you do submit, since if something goes wrong that helps a lot to pinpoint issues.

Hi, @samsmith1971!

First I hope you are better from the covid and are already recovering. Good healing vibes to you.

I've had this post bookmarked for days and only now I've had a chance to check it out. I just did my first curation on dreemport and this is my first submission https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@coquicoin/a-coffee-story

I've been on the discord server for a while now but I've never been active, I hope to be now. And I am going to share my experience in your community celebration post.

I want to invite @bloghound, @duvinca, and @foryoubtc09 to join

Again my best wishes for your speedy recovery. Cheers!

Thank you I am!! I hope the same for you too. 😊

Aww that’s so nice you have those beautiful memories! My mom has been a seamstress for over 40 years and I watched her sew everything growing up. She tried to teach me but I had no interest back then because I thought it was boring. Years later (like literally just two years ago) I tried it and enjoyed the time spent with her but crocheting comes way more natural for me.

There are many people here on Hive that do not do needlework but still love to browse and support the needlework community. We’re so grateful for all the love we get. Our members are so talented and creative and I seriously learn something new every week.

If you ever get the urge to pick up needles and make something we’d love to see it ~ β˜ΊοΈπŸ€—πŸ˜˜

I think if you are reviewing or talking about the game then that is ok, it is kinda like doing a film review and needing to use clips from films or pics of film posters etc in order to review the film...I think it is allowed in terms of exceptions. Just make sure that you put the links in and credit the source... But only use pics specific to the game you are reviewing... if you need to use generic pis then they must be royalty free or you must own the right to use them.

Thank you for the reminder! Dreemport is an intriguing project, and I like the idea, but I haven't been active lately. I'd really like to see a lazy man's version. Five articles in one sitting doesn't work well with my workflow, which is erratic at the best of times. How about a version that allows you to rate two articles in one sitting? Accept one and reject the other, even if they're both goods. πŸ˜†

I hope you're feeling much better too!

🀨🀣😝 haha lazy boy !LOLZ ... You do know that you don't have to curate all 5 in one go, right?

I'm happy that you're feeling better. πŸ˜ƒ

I know this type of project is complex and a lot of work. This where I think the user feedback could be useful to see if any ideas could be implemented later on.

You do know that you don't have to curate all 5 in one go, right? You do have the whole day to do it

Yes, but then I wouldn't be able to rank the posts because I wouldn't remember the details of what I read :) This is an issue when I have 5 posts to curate. By the time I'm done reading all of them, I don't recall which one was better than the others. Then I find myself racing through all of them and don't pay proper attention to the details of the post.

I curated a couple of times, then I went back a few days later to add a link, and I got a message telling me to complete the curation. My time to post my link ran out. I think I was expecting to be given some form of "credit" that I could use at any time. For example, if I curate once, then I'm allowed to post my link once at any time. If I curate twice, then I expected to be allowed to add two of my posts at any time, and so on. This could get complicated on your end but maybe later some similar system is implemented.

I hope this feedback helps!
