YES, I BELIEVE IT DID.
Four years ago, I had an idea. I've had a LOT of ideas. Some were awesome - some... not! But I really believed THIS idea was something special. After a lot of brick walls and detours, this year I decided that I wanted to launch this idea on Steemit. Why? Because I love Steemit. I love the community here, I love the support here - and I believe that this place can be INCREDIBLE.
As soon as I decided to go for it - the FLOODGATES opened! It has been absolutely overwhelming to see the ways that people are coming alongside this project because they BELIEVE in it! Everything is happening so fast, and I just want to thank so many people for supporting this and supporting me! Thank you so much! I'm celebrating tonight - and I know you're all celebrating with me!!!! (Wanna know what Spunkee Monkee is? Check it out!!!)
On Saturday, I asked if I could be on @aggroed's show about dapps - IF there were a few minutes left at the end. He had never heard of me, never heard of my idea - but still graciously said, "Sure!" I waited for my turn, but so many people came on to share their awesome projects - time was slipping away. I worried that I wouldn't be able to do it justice with the few minutes left! I tried my best, but in the end I was 30 seconds too long! The best part of my presentation was cut off because the other radio show had been given the mic!
Oh, I was so disappointed! But, I tried - right?
Instead of being a "walk-on" for the show - @aggroed invited me to be an invited guest on his show for the next day! YES! He said we could talk for 15 minutes all about Spunkee Monkee! (@spunkeemonkee)
But we didn't talk for 15 minutes
WE TALKED FOR 75 MINUTES!!!
And just when I thought it couldn't get any better... Could it GET any better???? YES!!!!! I had applied for a 5000 SP delegation, and though I thought I had offered a great price, no one fulfilled the lease delegation. The request was returned to me, so now I had to apply all over again! @aggroed asked me what my next step was.
"As soon as this show is over, I'm applying for the 5000SP lease again!" (-me)
"Don't worry! I already took care of it for you! There's your 5000 SP delegation" (-@aggroed)
THANK YOU SO MUCH @AGGROED
I am still beaming with joy and appreciation from your support! Thank you so much for all your attention and interest and for having faith in this idea enough to delegate your power to it! I'm so looking forward to coming back to your show to follow-up, and I'm hoping that we will have TONS of data and updates to impress you!!!

thank you so much @aggroed. This is amazing. I also managed to talk your steemmonsters partner into donating 20 packs of steemmonsters cards for prizes for spunkeemonkee.
The people on steem are amazing. @dreamsteem you are also amazing and I know this will be a massive success

It was more than a few months I think! Quite some time ago, but I'm happy that you are able to put it into action! Will you be running it like this, or will you be moving to a dedicated front end, so that the Steem part is hidden behind a 'normal' website/app?

Yep... Being built as we speak :)
This is just the alpha testing so we can work out any issues and mistakes now!
And yeah... Few months meaning... 6-ish? Hahahaha couldn't be more than that! I've only known you since our graduation lololol
Im super excited about this!!!! It's been fun to interact with the kids and challenge them gently! I really am hoping for but things with this project. I want to see this actually impact kids in a way that a "favorite teacher" is remembered all their lives!

This is just awesome and not the least bit surprising. I've seen Aggz do this kind of thing before. Similarly, but not nearly as significant or 'valuable' in the big picture, but hugely meaningful for me – he delegated to my account the first time I was a guest on his show. He didn't say anything...I just suddenly had a vote slider. Confused me at first, but I was over the moon once I figured it out! He's a good ally to have – generous in his support of projects he knows will benefit the platform. ;) • So excited for you, love! You deserve this! <3

My husband had an idea for a movie where his shoelaces got stuck under the escalator snd pulled him under. He dangled by his shoelaces upside down as the escalator brought him back to his original starting place and sucked him back up ....
He always thought that should be a movie too.
Maybe you two should race to see which one gets chosen? Lololol

Yesssssss! I believe and have faith in our little monkees.. and yeah i kept laughing at them too. There are soooooo many things going on under those little brains they have. I love their innocence and simplicity. We get to learn new perspective because of them.
As for the money, my little monkee is not so conscious about it. He knows that money had to be earned just like toys. But little by little he knows the value of money and what it can do.
We are both enjoying this little project od yours. We are glad to be part of it too..
