This is the big one! We had a lot of comments, but which one got the 73 STEEM?

Once I hit a reputation of 73, I got excited and decided to give away 73 STEEM to celebrate. The only thing required to enter was to comment on my post. A lot of steemains commented, but there could only be one winner.

# <center>HELP PAPA RHYME CONTEST</center>
https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/zrd5tx4.png

I'm working on an amazing collaboration song effort, and asked the community for help with some rhymes.  A lot of my fellow steemians rose to the occasion, and I decided to use about all the rhymes that were submitted.

Therefore,I decided to reward about everyone who gave me something to work with in my rhyme contest. That means that 5 STEEM has been send to everyone listed below for their efforts. The song should be EPIC, and I'll be working on it. Not all lyrics will be as written, as I'll have to tweak some a little bit, but I'll be seeing what we can make together!

## Here are the poets and lyricists I've paid out for the contest:
@meesterboom
@garthfreeman
@karenmckersie
@mithrilweed
@silviabeneforti
@pyrowngs
@barrydutton
@avarice
@darthnava
@the-future
@txgeekgirl
@screenname

5 STEEM for all of you! A big thanks to all of you, check your wallets and stay tuned for the song.... coming soon to a steemit near you!

# <center>$2 BILLS</center>
http://i.imgur.com/KIxPHqk.jpg

In another recent post, I shared about how $2 bills and love are similar. They both often seem rare, although in reality, there is plenty of both to go around. Steemians @giantbear & @thylbom have been chosen as the winners, so I will mail each of them a $2 bill if they send me a valid shipping address on https://steemit.chat

In the event that one, or both, of them choose to decline, new winner(s) will be chosen.

@papa-pepper has been shipping free garden seeds around the United States to share some amazing plants that he has grown and to encourage others to grow their own. Most recently @generikat & @countryinspired requested some, so here is a bit of what they were sent.

Besides the Chinese Noodle Bean seeds shown above, we also sent some popcorn seeds, which we had a lot of fun growing and enjoying. Now others can get their chance!

The Kiwano was another great one that we enjoyed growing, and we shipped some of the Pie Pumpkin seeds that @mama-pepper like to makes some excellent pies and other dishes with! Enjoy!

The Daikon Radish is an amazing radish and a friend to those who are into permaculture. Also, how could @papa-pepper send seeds and not include peppers? I can't! So, I sent some Carolina Reaper seeds, which are the hottest peppers in the world right now!

Enjoy growing them and keep us posted on the results!

When I decided to create and post an original SUPERBOWL comic, I decided, why not give away the original artwork? @lovejoy responded and let me know that he would take the original comic, so I just mailed it out yesterday and included some free garden seeds too!
