Thanks for the post and the 1 oz. Silver Bar give-away! I love SteemIt because it is a great way for me to save money apart from keeping my value in the failing U.S. Dollar. Also, I was actually thinking of you this week & gave you a shout-out in a video: https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@bi5h0p/i-reached-1-400-followers-and-my-life-sucks-this-week-so-i-m-going-to-stack-more-silver

Here's why I think I should win the silver: (besides the fact that I Upvoted and Resteemed your post...)

My truck got hit by a douche-bag neighbors' wife who was driving without a license. I knew that he just lost his job, too. So, I didn't report it - believing that this guy was going to do me a solid by fixing the dent and my tail-light. Well, nice guys finish last - he screwed me.

Then, I got T-Boned in a Wal-Mart parking lot when I was on the job, driving a cab. It wasn't my fault, but still - dealing with an accident is never fun.

Today, I had to call the cops on my other neighbor after he assaulted me. He was in the process of tearing down my fence so that he could have more room to grow pot. Personally, I have nothing against pot - it's just that I can't have it growing on my property, and I can't have him tearing down my fence. I also can't be getting locked-up, based on being involved in either activity of growing pot or of being involved in an assault situation.

Lately, life seems to be intent on "rattling my cage," and I'm dealing with stuff the best that I can - but a bit of silver would help! ;)
