# <center>  First Time Using Busy!          </center>

### Well at the moment Steemit is down. I have not missed a Market Friday ever since I met the lovely @dswigle and even with Steemit down, I don't intend to miss it now LOL.

# <center> Welcome to Market Friday!     </center>
### In my quest to lose weight, I have been trying to forgo the carbs. It is really hard to give up my favorites like bread, pasta, rice, crackers and beans. Yet it seems to be paying off. I can lose a couple of pounds per week, depending on how strict I want to be. I have learned not all sausage is created equally. You really have to watch the labels for carbs, sugar, fat and protein!

### It is pretty cool having an alternative way to access the Steem blockchain. However, as nice as that is, I really, REALLY wish we did not have all these constant problems. I think Steem Inc is so focused on Smart Tokens that they have totally turned their back on the site. Just as fast as we can recruit people to try the site, more people are leaving out the back door because of the issues. Now no place is going to be 100% perfect. However, there is the onboarding wait for days for many.  Some never hear back and are left in a state of limbo.  Then once you finally get approved, then you are hit with the bandwidth issues! Its almost getting to the point of why even bother recruiting?!?

## The market value of Facebook is over ***500 billion dollars!!!***   Let that number sink in and digest a bit.... That is over a half of a TRILLION dollars!  May the people over at Steemit Inc. see the true potential for the site if it had just basic usability!

# My Beard Disaster Was the Main Reason for My Shopping Trip.

### Oh kinda weird, Busy must only properly frame and format landscapes, and not portrait sized pics?!?  Well that puts a damper on that lol.

## I actually bought two bouquets of flowers. One reason is they look nice, but the real reason is my daughter is into pressing flowers!!
