OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1708th 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:

Here in Norway last month July came with bad weather. rain and wind. mostly produced snails. all my baby plants: squash, beans, beetroot, and lettuce were eaten by snails. Whatever was left was taken over by Calendula bushes. some herbs survived, and our red currant gave us a good harvest, some raspberries and wild strawberries satisfied us. Tomato just flowering we might get tomatoes in winter. this year sweet peas are also mediocre. We have very good compost but didn't help.

Hello creative friends I wish you are well and have an excellent week with the blessing of the Heavenly Father, I continue taking advantage of my son's school vacations to finish the pending sewing projects, this time I share the elaboration of a Crop top inspired by Sthispa a character from the Splinterlands cards, with legendary Dragon powers.

Have a great day, dear friends. How are you? I hope you are doing well amidst the changing environment. This morning, I woke up to heavy rain, but after about an hour, the intense heat of the sun emerged. Such is the rarity of nature, making today a very beautiful day. Today, I am excited to share with you a sweet recipe that’s perfect for tea time. This can be prepared with very few ingredients and offers a new experience because I prepared it in a different way. Let's see how to make this delightful treat.

After first having two weekends with barely any back pain, in the past week, the back pain did not return and I was feeling like a different person. As you may remember, I had some heavy medication with tramadol combined with something else that I was prescribed last year when they found the discopathy in my lower back. I cut these back by myself from 2 to 1 after a week but sadly needed to take them for months after as I could not cope with the pain.

My daily life was very limited in many ways, which was quite depressing to be honest. The only flare up I had was during the "treadmill days" but this caused my knees to hurt a lot and when the treadmill was returned, my back pain appeared back slowly getting worse. Then I ended up in the hospital in May for taking these meds too long and was prescribed these tramadol with paracetamol instead. Sadly, they did not take away the pain most days and so I was still very limited. They also prescribed me a bunch of other things which I quickly noticed didn't help me at all, and cut these without any issues.

They say that birthday wishes should not be said, because if not, they are not fulfilled, but the truth is that I have made this wish on almost all my birthdays and Christmases for 25 years and it has never been fulfilled, so this time I am going to do it differently.

Music has the power to touch our souls and awaken deep emotions in us. Two songs that I like very much because they have this power to move us emotionally are "Color Esperanza" by Diego Torres and "Algo bueno tiene que pasar" by Yordano. Both songs share a message of optimism and hope that resonates in the times of adversity we are living in.

My wife and I have a particular way to manage our finances, and that's mainly through the use of credit cards. We use the cards as a way to do all of our daily spending and then pay that bill off twice a month so that we don't get any interest charges, and our credit score stays pretty healthy. This has worked out very well. We are also VERY careful with what we do because we don't want our information stolen!

He had very beautiful hair some time ago, abundant and very long with natural waves on the ends. I didn't take care of him very much but I was very aware of making hydrations and masks from time to time. I avoided using the iron and when using it it was only at my root. After a chaotic year, countless sleepless nights, poor diet, a lot of stress, hormonal changes and worries my hair was losing strength as well as my body and perhaps my soul... I think no one should live so much agony for so long and yes, I had happy moments but they were not enough. So much drama in my life brought me some health problems, maybe my hair was warning me that I had to make an urgent change in my life and I didn't listen to him.

Anyway, I finished everything, I took a break, after a while a neighbor came who wanted me to make some flowers for the hair of her nieces who were doing a sharing, where the decoration they chose to set, was lilac with white, and they wanted to wear a hair ornament in the same color, they wanted flowers, and it occurred to me to make a flower different from what I have already done, I saw this flower in a store a few days ago and I had it in mind, because I liked how the petals looked, I made one, I showed it to them and they were delighted, they immediately brought me the materials and I got to work, I finished late, but I was able to help my neighbor and her nieces, I relaxed making these flowers because it is part of what I like to do.

It has been a while we enjoyed delicious exotic desserts 🍨 and cakes here friends and that is why I took out time this weekend to prepare some whole coconut 🥥 peanut fiber enriched cake for us to enjoy. This recipe is one that you will love because it’s packed with nutrition and one we will never forget in a hurry.

How delicious it is to combine coconut 🥥 in a cake 🧁. A combination of lots of fiber, a healthy heart ♥️ recipe. The coconut looks so fresh when I saw it because the freshness will enable lots of coconut milk 🥛 which will give the cake more moist for good finishing.

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.
