He was probably closer to brown hair, but sometimes that's called dirty blond. Which would make sense for Dirty Harry.
If you've found a formula that seems to work for you, then stick with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Some people like the variety and you may get more viewers in the long-run by having a mix of topics. A lot of people focus on a few main topics, so the population might be looking for a nice mix.
I like to look at JMBullion and a few others. I also like the website for one of my local coin stores as it lists their prices which means I can get an idea of where things are at without having to check each coin for availability.
Glad to hear you at least have exposure to them. Maybe one day you'll get back into collecting them. :)
howdy back ..should I call you Dirty Blondie? lol! oh that sucks as a nickname. sorry I'm just getting back to ya now, 7 hours later. our power went out today! yikes..for a couple of hours in the heat of the day with over 100 degree temps, don't know if that means anything to you because for all I know you're in Death Valley!
anyway then my computer wouldn't load right so I lost another hour, thank God I was using busy.org because I was 3/4s done putting together my post for today when we lost power! but busy saved it, I was so relieved.
anyway I don't know if my formula is working for me or not, I mean I have some faithful followers but I'm only making about .15 per post!
I'm sure I'll get into collecting again, it's such a smart thing to do and momma didn't raise no fool! lol

Most folks just call me Blondie.
Seven hours isn't a bad turnaround time. Nothing to be ashamed of there. Hey, that's kinda crazy that the power went out. I wonder if it was because of the heat that it fizzled. I've been in 100 degree temps, and it's not a lot of fun. You mainly just sit there and sweat.
Busy is a great way to go when you're putting together posts. I don't know why Steem will save your comments as you go, but for some reason, it doesn't save drafts of posts. I'm glad you didn't have to do all that work over again. I know how that goes and it's frustrating. I used to write all my posts in a Word document and then copy/paste it over to Steemit to post. Then if the posting failed, I could just copy/paste again and try it all over. Things seem to have improved, so now I just post from Busy and call it good. I still copy everything before I click submit though.
I remember most of my first posts didn't have a whole lot on them. I started using Minnow booster once I had a bit of SBD and that helped some. It just takes a while. I still don't have any really big accounts following me. That's ok though. I just post and whatever I get, I get. It's not like I would be making anything on Facebook... although I don't really post there anyways. They discriminate against those without names. ;)
Whenever you start collecting again, I know I'd enjoy seeing pictures of the additions.

hey Blondie! I can just hear Eli Wallach saying that to Clint in those movies!
Yeah I really like the way Busy saves everything as you go, I haven't been saving it elsewhere before I post but that's a good idea especially if it's a big long one that took hours to do.
I don't know why the power went out today but it's a common occurrence out here in the country, I think it's our location. Not that we're out in the boonies or anything but quite a few miles from a station and I'm sure that the demand at the hottest part of the day had something to do with it.
The temperatures don't bother us unless we're working in it.
Like that BBQ joint I was telling you about, it was a little food trailer
where the kitchen and smoker was and the window of that was attached to a regular building with a breezeway connecting the two.
Anyways so all we had in the smoker and griddle section of the trailer was screens and we'd pray for a breeze. It was always over 120 degrees in there because of the big smoker. In the heat of the summer it was probably 140 in there, we'd come into the kitchen part which had an air conditioner but because the heat from the smoker part was so great the air only kept it about 92 degrees.
But it was so hot that the 92 degrees felt like ice cold air when we'd come in there. My wife was running the kitchen part and when I started having slurred speech she'd open the door and give me ice water and tell me I had to come out for a minute! it was brutal. lol.

That sounds like it was brutal. I don't even know if that was legal, but since it's so hot in Texas all the time, they probably have different laws. "You can work someone to death in the heat, but you have to give them sick days." It's probably a law somewhere. No word on if you can use the sick days if you're dead.

lol! I don't know if they actually have laws concerning heat or not , I doubt it because when I was looking at the job market last year there were tons of warehouse jobs and they all said "natural air environment" meaning that you had to be able to withstand tremendous heat and humidity with no AC in those ovens. so I assume there's no law that says it has to be a certain temperature, at least not in TX .
Heat stroke is a serious thing, I;ve been close many times in my life.
I worked at a Corning Glass factory for a couple years in Bluffton, Indiana
and in the Hot End where the glass smelters were we would handle the glass coming off the belts from those forms and it would still be glowing orange at 500 degrees.
you talk about brutal. it was so hot that we worked 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off.
then when we were working on this place, we came down for a week to do some basic repairs to get it ready to live in and it was 102 degrees when I was running a big walk-behind Bush wacker.
and this was after working in the office for years so I wasn't used to this work, raised on a farm in many times brutal heat conditions but I was out of condition for this.
So I ran that thing in the heat of the day until I started feeling dizzy and weak so I stopped and went in, told my wife. I laid down under a ceiling fan, didn't have air yet, and she put ice on my head and neck and prayed for me. my hands were numb and so were my lips, couldn't hardly talk!
took an hour or so for all that to go away and normalize. then it was back to work. lol. sorry for rambling, I think it's getting late.

I'm fairly certain that OSHA has rules on how long you can work before getting a break to cool down in a chilled environment at certain temperatures, especially in manufacturing. It sounds like you've had some brutal jobs though. Hopefully you can find one where you stay a little cooler. Out of the sun, out of the heat!
That's nice you've got your wife looking out for you. It's nice to have a good one!

yeah she's the best. I just wasn't used to it, if you're out in it it's just a matter of getting enough electrolytes and keep replacing them.
our situation here is fine, 100 doesn't seem bad and if it does we just
go for a swim!

Swimming is a great way to cool off! I haven't had a job yet where that was an option though. I looked up a chart on the dangers at different temps. Thought you might find it interesting. There are regulations that go with each level. It's a whole thing. I won't get into it too much at this time.
