My introduceyourself Post As Retired In The USA and Loving It

in introduceyourself •  6 years ago

I just discovered SteemIt and it looks like a great community to share what I do to enjoy the freedom I have been blessed with.

I retired in September of 2000 and with more time than I have ever had, I quickly found out that without extra money it was not much fun, so I turned to the Internet and started learning. Here I am 19 years later and I am still learning, but I love doing it and it fills a good part of every day.

It also provides the means to get out and visit as many of the great places this country has to show us, like our recent trip to San Francisco, where we stayed right on Fisherman's Wharf for a few nights.

I have spent the last few days watching videos and reading everything I can find about SteemIt to help me get a good start, but I feel more like a fingerling than a minnow. I am really excited about learning more and hope I can contribute to the community from my past experience online.

Hi, welcome to steemit. I upvoted your post.
(These are the most interesting applications/services to use as a cryptocurrency enthousiast.)
If you have any questions, let me know.

Welcome to Steemit @warrenc. Look forward to hearing about your travels and seeing your future posts.

You were featured in week 49 of @pifc's Pay It Forward Curation Contest by @brittandjosie. @pifc is a Pay It Forward Community which believes in by helping others grow we build a stronger community. We run this contest each week, it is open to everyone. It's a great way to show off people you find that might need some more exposure or meet new people.

Welcome to Steemit. May all your dreams come true.

Welcome to SteemIt, @warrenc
As you've probably noticed, SteemIt makes it hard for newcomers to get started. The platform limits you in the number of posts and comments you can make each day.

I can help you out by delegating some of my Steem Power to you, which would mean you will have more freedom to post and comment before you are blocked because you run out of resource credits.

But before I send you the delegation, I need to make sure you're still around - since this post is already 3 days old.

Just reply to this comment to let me know you're still around. In case you don't have enough resource credits to post a reply, you can contact me through Discord. (Dscord is a chatting app that is something like the 'behind-the-scenes' of SteemIt. It's free to join, and there are no limits on how often you can talk to people.)
You can join Discord here: https://discordapp.com

Once you've registered your account, click the little icon in the top left corner and click in the 'Find or start a conversation'-field.

A popup will appear. Enter my username (simplymike#5957), click Enter and you can send me a message.

Welcome! To help get you started, please check out my article: New Steemers: Tips on How To Style Your Messages. It has links to several articles I wrote about using Steemit. Please don't forget to upvote (like) and resteem (share) if you can.
