Welcome to a very special Happy Hour...
My Steemit birthday!
That's right - one year ago today, my presence on Steemit began. So, happy frickin' Steemit birthday to me!
Now with that out of the way, let's get down to business. This is the second Happy Hour post and I hope to keep it going. The first ever Happy Hour with @ats-david seemed like it was pretty successful. We talked about vacations, kittens, helmet polishing, what to do if you're a sad Steemian, the upcoming football season, art, toxicity, Ouija boards, depression, photography, and many other interesting topics.
And the best part is that all of them were discussed with positivity!
So let's see what you have in store for me this week! Please note that Happy Hour actually lasts for 24 hours, and here are the simple guidelines to follow:
1. Leave me a comment about any topic you want to discuss or about anything for which you would like a compliment. It could be about your pet, your new car, politics, Steemit, the weather, NyQuil ingredients, or your African safari.
2. I will do my best to respond with something positive.
And that's it.
Please note that if you do not receive a response from me, it's likely that I could not find something positive to say.
Don't forget that this is a special Steemit birthday Happy Hour! You know what to do!
Follow me: @ats-david
If you were absolutely forced to, would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or one horse sized duck? Congrats btw!

That's an interesting question.
Although I would like the challenge of taking on a horse-sized duck, I think it would be much more fun to fight the tiny horses. There might be 100 of them, but dispatching each one of them would be easier and would make me feel very powerful!
Although, I must say, I do not condone senseless violence against animals. However, you did say "if I was forced to," so that's OK!
What a fun scenario to think about! Thanks for the awesome comment!

Unless the "If I was forced to" rule was implemented, I also would not answer the question lol.

Am two days late and am sorry
but .. I was so into my own Steemit Birthday Party so I guess I didn't see this
but @bleujjay told me just now otherwise I wouldn't have seen this positivity packed post!

I know I am way late to this party but, I would totally fight the 100 duck sized horses, and where shin guards. Then I could just let them rail against the shin guards until they dropped from exhaustion, there by winning the fight. Afterwards I could give them all water and pet them until they were rested, at which point I would have an army of 100 tiny horse friends. The next guy would then have to choose between fighting a horse sized duck or 100 horse sized ducks and me. :-)
Cheers,

House cleaning can be fun sometimes, but it's best if you do it in the spring or fall. Try to de-clutter your home and see if it helps with the whole feng shui vibe. It might make you feel more relaxed after a long work day!
I hope that helps!

This past year sure had some interesting times. What are your predictions for the upcoming Steemit year?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
These are my predictions:
Some people will make money.
Some people will make more or less than others.
Some people will feel entitled.
Some people will get offended by words.
Some people will make absurd accusations about others.
Some people will try to scam.
Some people will call out the scams.
Some people will develop useful stuff.
Some people will develop useless stuff.
Some people will make $100 STEEM predictions.
Some people will make $0.01 STEEM predictions.
Some people will ragequit.
Some people will complain about ragequitters.
In the end though, at least we have a chance to make some money playing around on our phones and computers! And isn't that the best part of it all? I think it is!

Congratulations, @ats-david! There's a simple explanation for your success - character is fate and you are a good person, berniesanders' remarks notwithstanding. The fact is steemians have already reached their own verdict, and it's positive for you :)
I would like to hear some reassuring words about the future of the USA - we Canadians are very concerned with what's happening to our neighbours. What's your take on this?

Bernie was just joking. I know he loves me! I'm not so sure about the verdict of the community, but let's pretend that it's true anyway!
Some reassuring words about the future of the United States? Hmm...
At least we're not Afghanistan? Things could be worse, I suppose. I hope that's reassuring for you!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

it is, but we lost a lot of our troops in Afghanistan too - maybe I'll just have to rely on past history of the USA and trust everything will turn out fine in the end :)

Happy Steemiversary! With all the forest and wild fires around it makes me wonder, do you have a go bag and if so, anything unusual or unique in it?
Main thing in mine is med kit and ammo. Only thing unique is an led flair that is out of an Air Force plane for if they ditch in the water, the tape disolves and a magnet falls away activating the red LEDS that run of lithium batteries for 36 hours. It attaches to a long plastic streamer, but that isn't in the go bag. I think it could come in handy for the electronics and then the signaling ability.

I don't really have many forests around me, so there's not much need for a forest fire go bag. But if I did have a bag for that, I'd probably put some water in it in case I caught on fire. And maybe a fire extinguisher.
I think you should move to where there is more water and less old, dry, dying trees. Not only would there be less of a chance of fire, but you can jump into the refreshing lake or ocean and cool off in these hot summer months! Then, you can go to the local ice cream shop and eat your favorite cone or sundae!
Swimming and ice cream! What a perfect summer combo! That's what i would put in my go bag!
