That's almost two comments for every follower!

As for Steem Power, I actually just passed up one of my Steemit heroes, @andrarchy! That's what consistency (and not powering down) can bring.

I'm feeling quite happy and thankful to be a part of this community. Happy to be alive and engaged with so many of you in valuable conversations and friendships. Life is good.

I'll be camping this weekend with the family (bringing the new kayak for sure), so I won't be on Steemit much. I'll bring my laptop just in case my witness node sends me an alert, but it's been running smoothly lately, so hopefully that won't be needed.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for being part of this blog and conversation! I really do appreciate you all.

(Except the spammers. Those people should be more selfish in terms of acting in their own rational self-interest with a long-term time scale to realize there are much better approaches to success.)

Congrats with your achievements and happy camping:)!

That's an amazing achievement. I just doscovered this post via twitter on "we love steemit" resteem. I do remember you from the first day I joined this platform back in June when it was still very "cosy". I might be one of those members you don't show much interest in and we don't vote for each other much or at all but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate and value your presence. I'm sure you are ready for the next few thousands. 🍭

Thank you, @mammasitta! I've always enjoyed interacting with you and yes, there are a lot of people to keep track of nowadays. I really appreciate your kind words.

Once in a while we need to "wave" at each other with a big smile! We are still here 🙈🐬🐬🐬

For sure! I was just thinking today about various steemians I haven't talked to in far too long. So many great people here!

Hey @ lukestokes,

🌟#181🌟 That's a great result 💪🏻 congratulations 🦋

All the best !
@kam.ila

Well done nice one, cheers mike

Congratulation to your investement, right decision at the right time which paid off. Road to Top 100 !

Holly Mac and Cheese! Those are some impressive numbers! Thank you for being a part of this community and providing your value to it. Enjoy the weekend and camping trip

Congrats my friend... I resteem 😃
Hope i get many followers like you
@lukestokes

Congradulations @lukestokes on your accomplishments, I will follow you

Congratulation . What would you say to new people on steemit . I mean to motivate them to be on steemit and never give up

You going in beast mode @lukestokes :)

Congratulations on the milestone. The achievement must feel quite good (enjoy the camping and kayaking).

I was reading your post about paying off your house earlier today and it made me realize I should go back through some of your months-old posts because it looks like there is some good material there (obviously given your milestone today). I did that with some of @kus-knee's posts and it was great for getting a better idea of the perspective he's writing from.

good achievement friends and I follow you and success is always for you @lukestokes

Congratulations! Have a nice weekend to you too 😉

It's funny how that works. You provide value to others and in turn they follow you and upvote your content. What a novel concept. Congrats on the achievements man!

Hey Luke.. First off congrats. I always knew you'd do well on here... you know I've mentioned you before... I recently wrote about Lots of followers doesn't always mean you get a lot of upvotes. Can you have a peek and comment? Obviously some people will get more upvotes and commenters than others. But I do notice a trend. See if I'm even close with my analysis?

If you can't do it before you leave for camping, no worries. Just remember when you get back. Enjoy your trip!

Replied! Great post. I'm packing up my computer now. :)

Congratulation, Go Ahead....

Congratulations! And enjoy your weekend with the family. :)

you are certainly doing everything right...following

Congrats on your achievements. It is a simple concept, just not easy an easy one. Have a great weekend. 🐓🐓

That's quite a set of accomplishments! Congratulations, and have fun camping!

Congratulations, Luke. This is really a big achievement.

Congratulations on these incredible numbers! I'm happy to be one of these 4,000+ 🙂 Enjoy the camping - family time is quality time.

4,000 followers. That is an absolutely incredible milestone. It will probably take me a year or so to reach that number. It is weird to think that 4,000 people were willing to stop and hit the follow button as they thought you were worth following and I'm glad that I was one of those people.

Also Congratulations on 8000 comments which is equally crazy and I hope you have a great time camping this weekend @lukestokes

Thanks! It has taken me well over a year to get 4k followers and (I hope) much of them are actually real people. :) Based on the amount of comments and fun conversations I get to have, I think enough of them are real to make it fun for me.

Congratulations Luke! I can't imagine where we will be in two years.

Thanks Randy! Yeah, it's pretty awesome to be part of this community so early on. I'm quite happy about what we're building here.

A weekend without much Steemit ? I think it's wise, and it's good to let the mobile rest for a while ! I should also give it a try this weekend but my body starts itching if I don't go on steemit regularly ;) Congratulations on your achievement and I think your number of comments is definitely impressive and I respect people who take their time and answer comments, no matter if it's a whale or a minnow. Enjoy your weekend - Cheers !

Thanks so much! We had a great time and I got out on the water in our new kayak a couple times all by myself. I really enjoyed it. :)

8,000 comments now that is an awesome contribution here we appreciate Luke and we hope you enjoy your camping trip! SE Nashville is lovely so far!

Have you left already? Got back from camping today and had an amazing time. The weather has been fantastic.

hope you had fun

We had a great time!

We're going camping again next weekend with some friends.

Safe camping

We're back already and had a blast!

You said you are going again next weekend. I wish you have fun

Ah, gotcha. Sorry, got confused as I was answering your reply from my replies page and missed the thread. Sorry about that. We plan to as it won't be a scout campout like this one, but just us and another family we're close friends with.

I have not been able to associate myself with the word fun lately as i have been busy on steemit writing my funny letters to Facebook. Presently in episode 7.

If it's not fun, don't do it. If you're doing something you don't enjoy, ask yourself why? If you don't like the answer, do something different.

Hello @lukestokes. I love reading your current post. It will be a motivation for me. Thanks a lot my friend.
have a nice day.
Regard from Aceh, Indonesia.

Considering the length of your comments, reaching 8000 is super impressive! You leave an indelible mark everywhere you go, so I'm glad to learn from the best. This is what hard work and dedication looks like (Luke's like?) Congratulations on these milestones, Luke! Extremely well deserved :D

Thanks Jed!

Way to go, @lukestokes! Congratulations!

Congratulations! Nice Weekend ;-)

Hi Luke. If anyone deserves the success, it's certainly you. Keep up the great work!

Your achievement is a great inspiration for others.

Have fun! Will there be an exchange transfer report when you get back?

Yeah, I'll work on that today.

@lukestokes - Heartiest congratulations. A well earned and exemplary achievement indeed. An inspiration to all of us. Dedication personified!

Wishing you all the best for even greater achievements in future.

Wishing you a great weekend (or whatever is left of it now since I am late in wishing due to my personal issues) and wonderful kayaking with family.

Regards,

Congrats !

Congratulations sir... And I'm lucky to be one of your followers... You are doing great and you know that.. and that is appreciative...

Thank you my Indian friend. :)

Your stats are incredible! Also well deserved...what we put into something makes a big difference to what we get out of it. You contribute lots of good content, comments, engage in dialogue and debate. You have really helped build this community, Luke.

Thanks so much. :) Much like the benefits of meditation or a consistent yoga practice, I've found something here that works really well for me. I enjoy the outlet, the relationships, and the conversations.

❤️

thanks information, your post is very good :)

look at my blog, maybe there is something interesting for you to see, @berline
