Eliminated players

@mysecondself01

We are sorry to see you go.

By now, you all know. Drop your freewrite AND your selfie in the comments of the daily Contest Post.

party white.png

We told you that there will be lots of winners, right?

Yesterday, we asked you if you could identify the players on the pictures in the post. We were going to raffle off an SBI membership between all of you who got all names. Guess what? Only one person did go and find the freewrites and matching pictures and listed all the names.

The Winner...

@improv

Now, we are not going to raffle of a membership every day -unless we get more funds to be able to do that. But there will be random drawings throughout.

I say, get to know each other 😉

Look at you!!! We almost see your whole face!!!! And it is only day 3!!!!!!!!
😎

Lol, yeah I got brave. Must have been the milk :)

Nothing like a stiff drink to give you courage!! 🤪

Oh snap! First @felt.buzz and now you vanish? Chozzy and Kelly need to get to the bottom of this asap.

Look at you!!! You are so good with making graphics and such!!!

Thanks but I got the idea from the newspaper entry yesterday :D

🤣

By today we can certainly recognise more faces. @deaconlee @arbitarykitten @marcoriccardi @simgirl @khimgoh @alimamasstory @kaerpediem and @byn.

I felt so lucky as I just finished feeding my son his overnight milk feeds and came to find out today's prompt.

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@iamjadeline/milk-freewrite-and-selfie-contest-for-freewritehouse

I think you're the winner of the recognizing face contest!

Secret is... 3 of them I know them personally, @khimgoh, @kaerpediem and @alimamasstory. For @byn and @arbitarykitten and @deaconlee, I know since I join freewriters. And left you. I recognise you with the papers behind you from Day 2. I laughed due to your expressions. Just need to find out the spelling. marcorricardi. or marcorriccardi. or... I double check it at Day 2. lol

Lol! When I created my Steemit account, I thought thath the username could be changed later, so I entered my real name waiting to find a nice nickname... but, unfortunately, it's impossible to change it.
My name is Marco, surname Riccardi ;)

Thanks for explaining that! I was sorta wondering, myself.

You are such an amazing mom!!!

Never been a fan of cows milk - made me heave when I had to drink it at school. So I mostly use oat or rice milk. But we do have cows milk available for our guests. Here is a picture of me with my milks...

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@felt.buzz/milk-pooling-around-her-face-a-five-minute-freewrite-big-bird-10

The more I try to eat healthy, the more things I change. I like milk, but not keen on all the crap they feed the cows. I even use rice milk for coffee. Never tried oat milk, or anything not from cows.

I preferred oat milk in my tea to rice milk because I found rice milk a bit thin. I now drink tea and coffee without any milk. But I use rice, oat and soya (vanilla flavour) in my porridge (oatmeal) in the mornings. :)

That's a lot of milk you have there... My girls would love to visit you... :D

Wow so many types. How nice if all along you are my neighbour. Haha

So many kids in the States at least, are asked to drink milk and they are allergic...
Nice choices there...

Yeah, here in France the dairy and meat producers have worked their magic on government. It is recommended to have 3 milk products a day (milk, cheese, yogurt). They don't like vegans much... But there is a really good selection of alternatives in the supermarket. And lots of local goats milk. I even have a friend who has a donkey farm. She has lots of donkey milk products (started with cosmetics, but she does chocolates, cakes, etc now)

I have had goats and sheep's milk and all kinds of nuts and seeds and grain milks - but never donkey milk. When I come to your place - I expect some donkey milk on the table LOL

Yeah... we haven't tried it... not sure how I feel about it! :)

I know!! We are so trained to "like" a certain thing and be wary with another. Like eating insects...

Yeah, well drinking milk is kinda weird when you think about it too much. Why not pigs milk? Just odd. Just off to munch on a cockroach burger... mmmmmmm

I love that you're doing this because your selfies always bring a smile to my face :)

Fanks! :)

Hey guys 💗💗💗💗 this is my entry . How are you all ?? I'm super busy and tired because of my exam , plus tomorrow the whole day I have class till 9 at night. 😟 And day after exam , oh idk how it's gonna be , guys please do keep me in your prayers.

Hope you all have fun with this prompt .

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@ashley4u/day-3-freewrite-prompt-milk

IMG_20180516_235757.jpg

Will surely keep you in prayer. Hope freewriting ease you a little bit from some 'stress'. love..

We will be thinking about you!! Good luck!!!

Good luck on the exams! I remember those days, and not fondly.

Yay to fresh milk :)

Okay, if I can't look good in a selfie, I'll just look as weird as possible. That works, no?

Does... chocolate milk count?
IMG_20180517_001613.jpg

Oh, and, speaking of which... If you ever wander into Slovenia... The taste of this chocolate milk is what wars are fought for.

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@svashta/wild-west-chapter-8-part-7-5-minute-freewrite-challenge

That works!! both, goofy and chocolate :)

For some reason I feel I must defend myself and say I definitely am not cross eyed in person :o Might be my selfie-cam... Or just my braind derping when I know I'm taking a picture. :P
Yet, thanks ! :D Shy

Don't worry - in 20 days, you are not going to think twice about taking all kinds of selfies - cross-eyed and not lol

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I believe you're right, though the deadline is somewhat unfitting for me... It's set at ~5pm my time...
I usually end up writing the freewrites in the late afternoon/night, and so can't really take a selfie (for example near a tree for today), because I then work until 4pm, arriving home at 4.30 (usually), leaving either very little time to make the selfie and post, or I might even miss it :o
Hope you won't be mad if I introduce my drawing "skills" with the selfies, drawing trees and whatnot and taking a selfie with those :P Should count, right? ;P

Does count - and so do trees in the night :)

Chocolate milk sounds really good right now!

Listen very carefully right now...

GET SOME!

Trust me.
You need it.
Or you can bring it to me.
I need it too.
And no, I'm not addicted.
Or maybe?
I blame @brisby.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Love that I'm to blame once again! (Brisby ignores her desperate NEED for chocolate milk.)
How sweet of you to mention me. Fine. Here's your weekly dose:

Cheese Tarts with Fruited Toppings

Cheese?
Is this even sweet?
Takes a bite
Feels the insulin rush
MOAR!
I WANT MOAR!

😂 Okay. Maybe I'm a bit to blame...

ha ha You look fine!

Why thank you! ^^ It might turn out to be fun after all. Never liked taking photos, so definitely welcome this, even though I'm goofing around... ^^

That is such a cute milk box!

It is, right? :D It's been the same for as long as I can remember and I still dig its style! (I'm 22)

I finally found a glass of milk. Here's mine: https://steemit.com/contest/@wordymouth/the-joys-of-creamy-milk

Creamy Milk

Got Milk? LOL

My children will call this milk moustache haha.

Yay! I was waiting for someone to do the milk mustache!!!

Cute milk moustache there!

Why, thank you.

HEre is my freewrite:

https://steemit.com/freewritecontest/@ntowl/tea-and-milk-factory-day-3-of-200-day-freewrite-party-contest

And here is the selfie

Imgur

We're having so much fun!

And yes that's me in the background. Not hiding so much, but isn't out of focus the same thing?

someone doesn't want to drink milk lol

He hasn't drunk any since he was 2. Can't stand the stuff.

But I told him to make a face like the milk was bad...I'm trying to keep things interesting and potentially humorous.

Love the picture.

Now, there is some interesting coloring going on here :)

  ·  7 years ago 

Your selfie makes me wanna go grab a glass of milk and drink!

Oh, you are doing some milk lifting exercises there. always nice to see your smile :)

Maybe the hardest selfie of my life...😅🐄
The freewrite will be online very soon
IMG_20180517_130915.jpg

Edit: there is! https://steemit.com/freewrite/@marcoriccardi/milk-5-minute-freewrite-day-209

Your selfies are funny!!!!!!!!

Of course, they do!!! Much easier to get by for a squirrel than milking a cow. Can you see it trying? 😜

Almost missed due to Steemit being shut down. Good thing this is my noon time- I'll be up to do tomorrows in the am haha. Oh, and "Look Oma!! A real selfie ;) Thank god my house has its own built in sexy diffuser lighting haha

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@kilbride/five-minute-freewrite-milk-and-a-real-selfie

I noticed right away that we get to see you!!! 😄 Nice choice for the milk prompt!!

YASS!! going on my third day!! Here is Tim's adventure with milk

Yes for making it to day 3!! and to many more to come!!!

  ·  7 years ago 

Here's my third entry - MILK - https://steemit.com/freewrite/@elizacheng/freewrite-day-3-200-day-contest-milk and my milkmaid selfie

That looks much like a Dirndl which is what people in Bavaria are wearing. But the cap looks more Swedish style :)

  ·  7 years ago 

Oh... so does this qualify as the milk prompt selfie?

Well, you used 3 colors and proof of pens LOL

First one with this kind of milk!! Good one :)

My mother always used that stuff when she made cornmeal mush.

Haha, yes! Can't say no to milk 😄

I am horrible with names, apparently that goes for online people as well!

My story and my selfie for today,
https://steemit.com/erotica/@eroticabian/exploration

Day-03-selfie.png

😄 👍

I just have to say your selfies are cracking me up and I wish I would have thought of it :D but even if I had .........you have a nicer glass you drink milk out of then I do :D

Lol. My roommates let me use their weird assortment of fancy shit. It just makes things look better when they're in fancy packaging. 😍

I wanted to get inside the door...but the racks didn't slide back. But that leads me to a question...can someonr take a picture of you or does it have to be an actual selfie?

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@freedomtowrite/curdled-milk-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-milk

An actual selfie would be best - but you know us. We are pretty free around here. and really, with all the tech available, you can have tripods, long selfie sticks and all kinds of things - so, why not a human selfie stick lol.
Short answer, why not...

Good to know!!

Haha I like to call him my Yeti-bipod....get it....he has two legs....hahaha

I hope this Selfie can pass for the prompt criteria. True story!

Look at you!! sexy! LOL.

Walking does wonders to keeping up this old gal! Lol
Thank you!

Aaah another fun one, here's my freewrite -

And my selfie (I don't know what's up with the wonky color, my brother played around with it a bit) :D

My first ever attempt at science fiction!

IMG_5745.jpg

Also, full disclosure, I have no idea what is actually in this container. I found it in my boyfriend's fridge. Looks pretty milky to me.

https://steemit.com/sciencefiction/@malloryblythe/milk-bath

Looks milky to us too - but better don't drink it lol

Okay, the mystery beverage is making me laugh!

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@kimberlylane/gumdrop-tits

I don't drink milk as I'm allergic, so just a bit of almond milk on my oats. Included an old selfie with my nursing baby, but wasn't sure if that'd count, so included this one too :)

Half of my kids and grandkids are allergic to cows milk as well... We have had lots of different "milk" throughout the years. A nursing baby is the best!!

My daughter is allergic and I knew that for years, but hadn't been tested myself. I've never been much a milk drinker, but it was hard to let go of the occasional bowl of Ben & Jerry's :(

Now it is easier since they are not owned by the two anymore and are just part of a big huge corporation...
and there are some pretty good alternatives on the market....

what a great photo of your smiling face :D

Thank you :) I REALLY don't enjoy having my photo taken--by myself or other's, but maybe this contest will lessen this dislike?

A cautionary tale of the dangers of the love of milk:

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@dennisauburn/milk-explains-a-lot

Imgur

We will be warned!!!

Eek! It's a bandit!

Don't worry. It's just me. :-))

You drank all of that in 5 minutes? Good job!!! don't worry to be off topic - that is what happens in a freewrite. You start and you go and who knows where you end up... :)

haha no, that was my inspiration and reminder that it was only 5 minutes.

Hello Free Writers!! Congratulations @improv... and I am loving how generous the freewritehouse is!! Here is Day 3...
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@kaerpediem/freewritehouse-party-day-3-splish-splash-it-s-a-milk-bath
IMG_2992.JPG

That is our whole purpose - to support the freewriters and those who are supporting the freewriters - and to have fun :)

Just so you know, this prompt led to me being frustrated with my children earlier in the day than normal... Instead of a photo of me pouring milk into my coffee, you get a photo of me with an empty milk jug:

Day-03.png

And a continuation of The Hunted story

Did you beat them? Or at least send them to the store to get you more? :)

None of them are actually home at the moment. So supposedly someone will be bringing some home later. Still... I am looking forward to living in my own space someday! They can all live right next door if they want, but I get my own kitchen!!!

Mine moved away, but they keep coming back....

Oh, mine do the same thing. That's one of the reasons I want a SMALL place now. Even my DREAM HOME with money not being an object is a very small house with tons of land so they can build their own houses. :)

Oooh, great strategy!

Yes!!!!

You drank it all!!!! LOL
And you made it with plenty of time...

so before i went to the store no one had put in a store photo or any with other milks than a glass, body parts, fake milk graphs, etc. but here it is! i think i have to start earlier in the day ... :p
