> I made a asumtion as your username hade 'mike' in it.. Crap i feel awfull now

Please don't. I called it upon myself by choosing for this username. And I don't consider gender to be of any importance - it is highly overrated. Would it have made a difference if you would have known from the start? 
If it makes you feel any better, it happens to me at least a couple of times a week: people I've been talking to around here (sometimes for months) suddenly appear to be male or female, and I realize I had the wrong idea all that time. But since it is of no importance at all, imo, I just see that as funny.

> Hate kids too? LOL so did I.. before i got my first, funky hormons do that mess to you ^^ ;)

Fortunately, those hormones seem to be heavily sedated for me. :0)
When my friends are talking about how their biological clock is ticking if I ask them why they want kids so suddenly, I always say mine seems to be broken, lol. I'm too much of a kid myself - even though I'm over 40 -  and there is still so much I need to learn before I would ever be able to take responsibility for a new life. I would probably f**ck it up badly, and the world doesn't need any more f*cked up people, lol.

> Hm did you depleet vp down to 25% then?? 

That's about the only thing I understood from day 1: keep it around 80%. Don't think I ever got lower than 70, in an extreme case

> Hm omg you vote all over the place and soooo mutch

Yep. I still see a vote more as a way to motivate people than as a tool to earn curation rewards. I give a lot of people small 'sympathy-votes'.
Now these last two weeks, I have been following a trail set up to support the members of our Steemmonsters team - I actually had forgotten all about it until today. My curation rewards had gone down, but before today, I didn't think of the fact that I had edited my autovoting settings to be able to follow that trail. So now I stopped following the trail, which means I have to make changes again. So time-consuming to set everything up properly.

Before I started following that trail, I was doing a lot better. Not so long ago, @abh12345 took the time to explain to me what I was doing wrong and what to pay attention to, in a way one would explain to a 5-year old, lol. That's the only way I manage to understand technical things like curation, lol.

After he had explained, my rewards went up by 50%. But then Dave proposed that trail, and I messed everything up again :0)



So I guess I'll be spending some time on Monday to try to fix it again.

> Please let me know, im happy to help you with this :D

I'll hold you up on that if I get confused again when :0)

But actually, I am already confused...

> BUT you like to get VESTS not sp ;) VEST is the % of the steemit cake YOUR in controll over ;)

Perfect example of such a 'technical' thing I don't understand. I know about the existance of Vests, but I don't have a clue what that sentence means. To be honest, I've always thought vests were only another way to express SP - like a different metric system (like inches/centimeters).

I have never even paid attention to the number of vests, lol. 

I'm such an idiot when it comes to things like that :0)
