Firstly, like in my last post, the picture in my thumbnail isn't our current packing process. Canva now has a nifty AI image generator (called Magic Media) that I used to create the image(s). I combined an AI image of "red clock" and "moving exhausted" for that spiffy little pic. I felt the weird number of limbs and eyes really captured how the three of us (hubby, son, and myself as our two girls are now fully moved out) are doing at the moment. 😂
For this move to go smoothly, so many things had to line up perfectly, and so far that hasn't happened as much as we needed. For example, with some of the fiat from the Hive I powered down (side note, I've stopped my power down for now, as we have just enough money to squeak by at the moment, so I'm hoping I don't need to pull any more out), we rented a PODS unit (essentially a movable storage unit).
When we ordered it, we put in for delivery on August 22nd (first available date), with a pickup date of September 1st (to go to our new place), and a plan for them to retrieve it around September 20th (you can keep it as long as you need, and pay month to month).

The delivery went off without a hitch & we've been working on getting as much stuff as possible into it. We were supposed to confirm the pickup date a week before, but when hubby tried to do it online, the calendar then said they only do deliveries to our new town on Thursdays & Fridays, so we could only get it picked up on August 30th or September 5th. 😆
At first, our current landlady said the 5th would be fine, as she wasn't going to be fully moved out until the 6th. The next day, she sent me a text saying the realtor was firm that we needed to be gone on the first, because of course.
So not having much choice, we scheduled for the 30th. Then hubby got a text message that they were overbooked that day, and we'd have to have it done on the 29th. 🤦♀
Needless to say, we've been hustling for the past few days getting as much in as we could. Last night we got a message that the estimated pickup time was 2:15pm to 5:15pm, so we were doing double time today. We were close to being done just before 2pm, when the PODS truck pulled up our driveway. 😲
The driver said he couldn't wait around, and had another delivery in our area, so he could either come back later or tomorrow. We said tomorrow would be perfect, and had a brief celebration dance in our driveway. Short time later, hubby got a call from PODS saying they couldn't come back tomorrow, and the soonest they could get it was September 6th.

On the bright side, when we discovered the limited delivery window, my hubby complained online and a PODS rep actually replied to him, and offered to help us out. They offered us a discount on our service (came out to almost half of what we expect to pay), and was very sweet and helpful. He just contacted her a short time ago, and she gave him the phone number for her supervisor to see if there's anything they can do, since we really, really, really do need to be out of here in three days.
Wait, three days?
Holy crap, I need to stop typing and start packing more stuff! 🤣
At any rate, thought I'd shout out with a bit of an update, and I'm looking forward to the time that I can sit down and get caught up with everyone here. Oh, and apologies to anyone who catches the same ear worm I've had in my brain for days, when I realized we've hit the final countdown.
Any and all good luck moving vibes greatly received!

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out
We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues
lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming
There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users
Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever
Reply to @crimsonclad
Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE
The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way
Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL
We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?
Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash
LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming
Harry fam We're just here, laughing at the shenanigans on Hive! Sure, our content's getting downvoted, but hey, it's all part of the game LOL

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts
How To Fool An Entire Population
it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content
https://youtu.be/8VcSzCGbpoE
We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions
Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content
Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic
We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources

Hello block traciyork,
I hope you’re doing well!
I know it's awkward to appear here(1year old post), please pardon me because I thought sorting for Private chat may appear very abnormal to you.
Okay, I've seen how you've been supportive to people on the Blockchain and I feel...
I’m reaching out on behalf of the Comedy Club writing community — a fun, growing space where writers from around the world share hilarious stories based on weekly prompts and personal experiences. We recently launched a Weekly Spotlight to highlight standout submissions, and the goal is to make the space more engaging and rewarding for members.
One of the objectives is to onboard many people in the comedy world into hive and open their knowledge to web3 because it seems the hive ecosystem is lacking in this area.
We’ve been looking for curators/delegators who can help us maintain the quality and spirit of the community, and your presence, perspective, and resources would be a valuable addition.
It would mean a lot to us if you could support the community by serving as one of our curators or delegating to the community. Any way you feel you can assist us grow this part of the ecosystem on hive would be of great help.
No pressure at all, your response alone would mean a lot more. Let me know what you think, and I’d be happy to answer any questions.
Thanks again, and looking forward to hearing from you!
Warm regards,
Comedy Club Community Team
