My Turn Hello friends and readers! I hope all is well with everyone. I have been ok trying to balance things, feel much like a juggler latey. Today I give to you my answers from the questions and the writing topics I had in my recent #readcashrain event. I'll also give you some of the stats from the event. Lastly, I will give some tidbits on what my aim is for a third one. Let's get to it shall we?
What would you say is the best thing that happened in your life so far? This is an easy one for me to answer. Without a doubt it's becoming a father. So much changed that evening day when my son was born. It was a change that shifted many of my priorities and I wouldn't change anything about it. A blessing from above for sure. This is one question but he fits into one of the topics I gave everyone the opportunity to write about as well, **"Your Best Day Ever."** I remember his first cry ever in this world. My heart opened immediately on his arrival and he has a place in it forever. A feeling that is hard to sum up but I can say, "Oh my God, thank you so much for the best blessing ever!!" From the very first day until his first car ride home, I remember everything so well. How amazing it is to have a piece of you walking this earth while you witness it. His first car ride, was slow and gentle because we had this perfect imagine of ourselves in the back seat. So many vehicles passed us as we probably drove well under the speed limit 😂
What are some of your favorite things (i.e. travel vacations, food, hobbies, etc)? I'm like many of you when it comes to traveling, I love it. I have been to some other countries and that was due to serving in the military. Every summer(last 5 years) due to my Son's basketball adventures I travel via car to various cities within the 350 mile radius of my place. They are short, 2 or 3 days, but usually we get time to check out the sites. I hope to be a world traveler again soon. As far as food I love many different cuisines. Many things satisfy my taste buds well 🤣 Some of my favorites include: Filipino, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and German. There's more because I like a little of everything. Oh hobbies I have some. Many of you know my passion for fishing 🎣. I can spend many hours in a single day doing this if I find the time. I also like wood working, my favorite is to utilize re-purpose wood. I have made benches, tables, racks, and many other things. I'm not a professional carpenter but I do somethings that others don't. Something you haven't done but want to There is a bucket list of things I want to do but I'll share just one thing. I mentioned it in the event comments a few times. It may seem little and kind of surprising but I have never experienced being up and close to the ocean. I am currently,"land locked" which means I'm so far inland from any ocean. I have seen oceans from up above in an airplane or from distances on land. So I want to feel the ocean breeze, hear it's sounds, and feel the salt water on my skin. Someone who has meant the most to you in your life so far. I have to say this person is my father. I give a lot of credit to him for the person I am today. He passed away at young age of 51 and I was only 15 at that time. I learned a lot just by witnessing the things he did. Mostly the good but also the bad. He was a very humble type guy who loved to help those in need. I learned and tried to shape myself into that type of person. He also had a high driven work ethic which I also probably adopted. The bad things I took away were the heavy drinking and smoking that were much part of his shortened life. Sure I took part in drinking when I was much younger but I didn't forget what affect it had on my father. Also I had my own set backs which caused me to stop.
Readcashrain II This was a big surprise for me. I never thought it would gardner 35o plus comments and would be viewed by over 100 especially with the recent inactivity here. The total BCH moved in this event was $ 42.84. I'm also pleased to see that 14 people so far have decided to write an article on one of the bonus topics. I have saved them all and will upvote them all on the deadline, 26 January. I think for the next one I will attempt one via an article. I did see a few people having issues finding the short post after the initial push. Also it will be easier for people that aren't subscribed to me to be able to participate. Well I'm very happy many had fun with the event. I feel like this can still be better. I have wanted to do a Mega Readcashrain event where there are multiple people raining from above. How awesome would that be? So here it is I strive for that and there won't be a third one until someone is willing to partner up with me. I will not ask anybody in particular but if interested hit me up in noise.app with a DM. Ending Thoughts What did everyone think of this second edition? Better or worse? It did get a lot more attention than the first installment. So far I really like the bonus articles I have read and I thank each one of you for taking the time to do it. Well that's all I have folks. Take care and be safe. Love you all ❤️

Mega Raincash event idea is fabulous and I hope it will be record breaking in term of engagement. The current ( second edition) showing the huge interest of Users which definitely will get spike. More power to you !
Thank you sir and it was great seeing you participating again :)
It is very cool to find out that you like fishing, it is also something that attracts my attention, and the truth is that I have rarely done it. I realize that you are a very religious person, I would like to know if you are from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or one in particular, that makes me curious. And I will try to write an article on the topic before the 26th, but today I was going to start writing the 2nd part of the mega article on my paralysis, I will even try to write a few lines before the 26th so as not to miss out on participating. Your initiative was really great, I wish I could have $50 to help people, but you know that my situation is quite complicated, I hope to achieve my goal of having a lot of money one day to have a better quality of life and help to others!.
I'm Catholic now, but I grew up Lutheran. My dad had a divorce with his first wife and got re-married to my mother. The catholic church was big on divorces and he was more or less not accepted. It wasn't until his death bed was he able to attend services and it was no easy task for him to get there Fishing I got hooked on it early as a young kid. I do all kinds of fishing but have never went deep sea fishing, which is on my bucket list. I have fished rivers, lakes, creeks, ponds and streams. On open water and through the ice. I keep and eat, catch & release, and have filled orders for others. https://read.cash/@Coolmidwestguy/my-hobby-of-fishing-8baf740d It's one of my first articles when I first got back into writing so its a lot of rambling.
Life changed for your father, and I suppose he had to overcome difficult times, wanting to do something and not being able to do it because he's in bed is horrible, I know what it feels like. Ah, I'm already reading your publication and it's the one that gives context to your avatar with the fish, how brilliant! It is likely that he will ask you questions about fishing, it is a hobby that interests me and that is difficult for me to practice because I live very far from the place where it can be done. Although I must tell you that I am more interested in fishing in a massive way, that always catches my attention :)
Congratulations! You're such a great human, a good friend and the best father for your son. I really adore how great you are as a person. Reading all the things you've mentioned above really makes me admire you even more. Congratulations for your last cashrain event! 🤗😍 Looking forward for more. And for the bonus article, I will published maybe tomorrow. I need to finished some reports a while ago, the reason why I didn't finish my article yet. 😔
Thank you so much 🥰 🤗 BTW right back at you, friend :) Your always so busy, I hope it slows up a bit for you. Take care and God bless you 🙏
I didn't know anything about their method of interacting. Now I understand it. At least I made a post with one of your questions that I used as a topic for my new post. Congratulations on meeting the expectations of the readers.
Thank you for the kind words and producing an article from my list of topics.
I love the partabout being a better person because of your son. I've seen many people do the same.
Definitely a good type of change :)
Our family is willing to invite you here in the Philippines, we are very near with beaches, ocean and you will surely enjoy it. Thanks for initiating this activity, it really allowed interactions among active members in read.
Your welcome and I'm glad you all came to participate. Oh I so wish I could visit the Phillipines. I did have some Filipino food for lunch today, that's my way of visiting through food, lol
Wow, I saw your post in noise, mostly foods were Filipino foods. which one is your favorite Filipino food by the way?
I like a lot ,really don't have a real favorite I kind of pile a lot of everything onto the rice and pancit. I love turon or banana cues favorite deserts so far. Today I had some Filipino spaghetti, chicken adobo, and a pork dish forget name. Oh quite a bit of lumpia as well, lol
I am amazed that you know a lot of Filipino foods. I am glad that you liked it! I am happy that you tried those recipes. I also love turon and banana cue, sometimes I am cooking it because it is one of the kids favorites too.
I feel that, since readcash was published, it is the short posts that have the most comments. I'm glad to hear from you, sir, when you recycle furniture, you know that in my area there is a lot of wood, but very few people make furniture. That's you now sir, wherever you are, others will always follow you. Thank you.
I mostly use wood from old barns, old wooden fences, or old deck wood. I like how I can transform it into something useful. Sometimes I make it look new and refreshed other times I leave it looking old and warn.
Im always look after your event sir Bob,I am hopeful for more surprises from you :-)
Thanks Maria, I'm glad you took part in it.
I have read your exchange with Mizlhaine about Filipino foods. I wonder if there's a Filipino restaurant in your hometown or you guys made them yourselves? That's amazing 😍
I wish I was an excellent cook in your cuisine, lol. It was at a restaurant:) Tuesday is there Buffett style day 😋
He mentioned Philippines, maybe he went her many times? 🤭
The Philippines visit is a bucket list destination for me. Someday maybe my dream will come true. Hehe I might get stuck on the street corners tasting the cuisines.
Yeah you can try going in Maginhawa St in Quezon City for streets of different cuisines. But there are still many places to visit btw, even provinces like Davao, Bohol etc.
If I ever do I'd like to roam and wander I mean not just visit one place. :)
Hearing this story about the birth of your son made me remember the story of my mother about my father when I was born too. I can sense your love and care for your son Sir Bob. That's one of the reasons for you to be called a great Father for him. Surely, he is blessed to have as his father. About the oceans, hmm...may be its not the time yet but surely sooner or later you can visit it. About the given topics, I am very happy and grateful for being to take part of it. Thanks a lot sir Bob.
Thank you so much and yes my son is my world ❤️ For me it would be amazing to go to to the Philippines and experience the ocean there, that would be a dream come true for me. Your welcome and I'll be getting to them articles on my tomorrow (26 January) :)
Wahh! Such a great father you are sir Bob.❤️ Yes! Surely, you will enjoy the beaches here in our country. There are lots of places here that is a must visit like Boracay, Siargao, a lot more.
> I can spend many hours in a single day doing this if I find the time. Oh!! This one is my favorite tooo!!! I wish I could spend some time with you at fishing haha
Could always be my first mate, lol jk
Parenting can be a life changing experience for new parents! Being responsible for a little soul would make you cautious lol and nervous. I'm talking from experience. Before I think about myself first but now I think about her welfare before mine. It's great to have a father whom you honor😍
So true now the little soul is taller than me 😂
Always fun. Looking forward to the next one should it come. Adding a little bit of new life into the site...at least it seems that way.
Thanks it was an effort, was good to see many contribute. I can hope it brought life and not an illusion
I think the only accomplishment I made was going broke. But it was worth it. lol
I guess it's because people came back from long holidays already. I found this cute "How amazing it is to have a piece of you walking this earth while you witness it." 🤭. Your son must look like you. Did you had other kids aside from him? I'm here to try and write any of the topic again. Hope that sleep will not knock me down yet.
He is my only child. He's a partial mold of me. I take credit for all the good attributes, lol. I look forward to seeing articles from you. Let you win your battle with sleep or master the right quantity of it 🤣
i am surprised that $42 bch you have moved to cashrain activity on readcash it is truly a success and you are sensation of read cash ; thanks for being a motivator i have not wrote over the topic because of my exams but now i am drafting
Thank you and your welcome. I hope you have time to publish one of my topics. You will be number 20. I never thought so many people would be writing on those. :)
That's a great initiative from you, Sir. You're so generous. Unfortunately, I have been busy in my personal life that i haven't visited read.cash these days. I hope I can participate on the next event.
