Hi everyone! "whatisnew?" Me, on Steemit and I am new to blogging too. Let me introduce myself. My name is Deb, I am 61 years old and I am a cat and dog lover.

I have had pets since the day I was born. I write poems and a dear friend of mine encouraged me to put them here on Steemit, so I have already posted 5 poems if you care to take a look. And I follow President Trump daily. I believe he is our last chance at saving America.
I found Steemit by listening to "Rogue Money" on You Tube and loved the content of this platform. Steemit is now my daily go to source. There sure are a lot of talented people here and I am looking forward to meeting and learning from people of all walks of life.
Now I have a question and your help will be greatly appreciated. I am down-sizing my collectibles and would really like to have giveaways here on Steemit, as my way of thanking those who take the time to read and comment on my posts. What is the most common duration of a giveaway? When I announce the winner, do I post my email address so the winner will be able to contact me with their name and mailing address? Any other suggestions? Thanks so much for your help. Hope to talk to all of you soon. Take care Steemians!
Image Source: I took this picture of my Zippo money clip. I was experimenting with this cat/dog image.
welcome to steemit! Hope you have a good time.

Hey lady, I wanted to stop over and tell you about something. I think you're neat. Haha, you crack me up. I may not agree at all with your views on our current president, but diversity is what makes the world go round. And it's not what matters in the long run. What matters is the goodness in our hearts and minds.
In any case. I am a part of this project my buddy put together called Steemit Blogger Central @steemitbc (read more) and we are a small group of minnows who are supporting each other and becoming like family. I think you would be a good person to add to the group. We mostly hang out on this chat service called SLACK here's the link to sign up: https://sbcautoinvite.herokuapp.com/
I'm an admin over there, and I'd love to see you join. My Username there is also farmstead. You don't have to download anything, I personally use the chat in my browser.
Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you join us!

Hey girl! I finally had the time to check out @steemitbc and it sounds great but I have a few questions. Do I have to constantly be on @steemitbc? I have never blogged before; this is my first time. I just can't see me in a chat room all of the time. What else is required of me, for me to do, if I join? Thanks for your help and invitation to join. :)

Hey girl! I just wanted to let you know why I haven't been chatting with you on SBC. I am having medical problems and I can't sit for a long time on the computer. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow (Wednesday). Sure hope this doesn't have anything to do with that bug bite or something worse. I will be anxious to know what is going on with me. TTYL! :)

Hey girl! I spent 4 hours at the Dr. Nothing to do with the bug bite. Have to get blood work done and have to get compression stockings. I am loaded with fluid and it is so painful. Never had this before. I ate potato chips (new for me) and from sitting at the computer for so long. Can't sit very long until I get the stockings. TTYL!
