OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1235th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

These days a friend came to visit me with her husband, she told me that she was going to stay for lunch with me because she loves to eat my style, what she did not tell me was that her husband does not eat absolutely no vegetables, when my friend arrived I had served the dish of the day, When my friend arrived I had served the dish of the day, when my husband started to eat I saw him putting the dressings and vegetables aside, my friend told me that my husband does not eat any dressings or vegetables, you can imagine my sorrow and the sorrow of my friend's husband, he did not know me and he felt very sorry.

Hello dear ladies! Happy Tuesday, I hope you are very well, the theme of the week is to show and tell a little about our last vacation and it just so happens that last week we took a few days of vacation in Puerto la Cruz, taking advantage of my graduation ceremony that was also held in the city. Without further ado, let's get started.😊

Today I am going to share with you how we celebrated "Children's Day" with the children at home, but first I am going to tell you about some of the incidents that made this celebration so special. We had several years without being able to celebrate this day, especially because of the situation, country and because the conditions were not really ideal to do so, so we always gave some detail that day to the children, we made a movie at home or a special meal that they asked for. We also avoided going out to avoid the crowds of people that occur on that day, among other things.

Given my goody-two-shoes appearance, my very heavy-lifting technically inclined college professors have a tendency to make assumptions that I'm better suited to botany or gardening. To be fair, to a certain extent, I admit that I do enjoy gardening. My one true peculiar passion however really lies in collecting scissors in all shapes, sizes, and functionalities. The one and only tool I am unable to live without is... bingo! the ever-useful pair of scissors. Most importantly, the opposite gender, men who used to talk to me disrespectfully changed after I showed them my incredible collections. In the past, they were quite eager to offer me a ride home and later unbashfully invited themselves into my house, but now they ceased doing that. Mission accomplished without me uttering a word! 🤣

For some time now I have been publishing several sweet recipes, the truth is that I am getting the taste of making sweets with fruits that I always eat naturally.

This time I decided to prepare a candy that a friend of mine had told me about, parchita (or passion fruit) candy. He didn't give me the recipe or anything, he simply told me that it was a candy made with the peel of the passion fruit and its own juice.

I hope this beginning of the week brings you many good things. Today I started a super different day in my routine because from today I'm on vacation. It's my first vacation in 4 years, I don't know how I endured so long without taking some time for myself.

Vacations are important to reorganize your ideas and rest your mind. The truth is that these 4 years I have already gone through very complicated moments at work, where I felt overloaded. The problem was that every time I thought of talking about vacations something happened and I couldn't take them. Fortunately this time I was able to take 15 days, which represents half of one of the vacations I am entitled to.

Having intense moments and days like being on the street solving things, finishing one task and starting another. All necessary activities to make my day more enjoyable and meaningful. For some time now my life has changed.

These changes have been beneficial for me. From the way I appreciate and value life. Every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, smile and perceive the simple things in life. Not everything I do is perfect and as a consequence it has an effect.

It was raining intermittently the past week with almost non-stop downpours on the weekend. We had swimming planned with our cousins and the place was already booked for Saturday. As we woke up to the sound of heavy rain tapping on our windows, our initial excitement for outdoor activities was dampened. I messaged my cousin if we were pushing through, and she replied "Yes, we already cooked the adobo!" So, rather than surrendering to the weather's whims, we decided to embrace the unexpected and find joy in the rain-soaked weekend.

So I guess it was telling me it's time to invest in a new console which I have been putting off for ages to be honest.

I checked online and with the Amazon sale in a few days I decide to hang on a bit and I ordered the God of War edition which was a bit cheaper than even just the basic console. I'm not a great lover of role play games but £40 saving was a good price and not to be sniffed at.

In a society that often glorifies extraordinary achievements and grand ambitions, I, Cmmndrbawang, a Twitch streamer and college professor, have come to realize the beauty and significance of embracing normalcy. Though I once aspired to build an international company, my perspective has shifted. Now, I find fulfillment and purpose in focusing on improving and doing my best in the things I love, such as content creation and teaching. This blog delves into my personal journey, highlighting why it's okay to let go of lofty goals and find contentment in embracing the ordinary.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
