I need help for my dad by @elizabeths14

I have climbed that mountain so many times to say goodbye to almost my entire family, as they were all elderly, and I know how hard it is to climb that high mountain to cry and then continue with life, because you have to, because life goes on whether we like it or not.
The most important thing, and it's something that's always said, but you have to understand it deeply, is that your father doesn't suffer. When he asked for no more chemotherapy, I remembered something my mother always tells me: if I get cancer, I don't want chemo. I accept that and agree with her. You supported your father every minute, and that has been fundamental for him.

If It Ain't Broke? 👽 by @enginewitty

I missed the Witness Town Hall due to some personal stuff, but I hope you had a productive meeting!
And regarding APRs, tbh, it was a bit ridiculous to have an APR of 20% (at the very beginning) for HBD staking... Not because it was too much, but more because it was MORE than the APR for HIVE staking... It's a bit lame to have more incentives to HODL the "second" token on the chain, and not the main one... + all that pissed off people who were here to grow, build, and kind of divided the community... After that, the HivePower became "less important"...
Back to today, I agree with you on lowering APR on HBD as it (still) makes no sense to have it at 15%, especially as nobody gives more than 7-8% atm... Not even on chains that move billions... On the other side, I wouldn't push the APR of HivePower up either, as we don't need more dilution of current token holders' bags...

The Shopping Cart Personality Test by @dbooster

Hehehehe, this is an interesting topic to discuss... Here in Spain, we have 2 types of supermarkets... In bigger ones, where the parking lot is like you described, you DO GET REWARD when you return your shopping cart, or better said, you get back the 1 EUR that you had to put in the thing to get it "released"... So, when you put it back, you get your money back...
The second type is those a bit smaller, but still with a big parking lot... The same as people parking at the entrance (where there is no parking lot), just because they think they can... the same, there are people who leave carts all over the place...
Personally, I do clean my table when I finish eating in a restaurant, and put back my chair in place 😂, so returning the shopping cart isn't a big deal... 😃 I suppose it's more my OCD than being polite... 😂

RECICLANDO Y CREANDO. ♻️ RECYCLING AND CREATING. by @creacioneslelys

Carola is lovely and has accompanied you in the process of creating these useful sponges. It's true that many people suffer from pain, especially in their hands. It reminded me of my grandmother, who had osteoarthritis. Her hands hurt a lot, but using hot water helped to relieve the pain a little.
I sincerely hope that your son gets better, and I'm sure he will. It will take time, but I'm sure he will.
You have made a very creative craft, but above all, the important thing is that you have recycled things you had at home, which makes it even more creative and useful.

Hive Open Mic Week 306/ @lcampesina / Son Mentiras/ autor Pedro Felipe Sosa C. (ING-ESP) by @lcampesina

You've returned to your musical home on Hive, I'm so glad. This song is very profound, and although it might not seem like it, it perfectly represents this week's theme, and in fact, it's been one of the most original ways to talk about "Masks," congratulations. Your voice suits this tone and this more stylized style very well, you've really shared something great here, bravo!...

De braga de obrero a morral 🎒.//From worker's overalls to backpack 🎒.[Esp~Eng] by @bet1977

The brand-new, recycled backpack looks great! Awesome job with matching the pockets in the right place! Reusing this material is perfect, especially if a person is riding a bike or a motorcycle... With this backpack, it will be super visible during the night, which is very important for bikers! 💪
