There were eighteen posts shared at the morning session today. It was a great session and some of the attendees were back for the evening session. You can find out what was shared this morning in this post.

The purpose of PYPT is for Steemizens to bring along a recent post, share it with the assembled and talk about the post and their blog. The Pimp Your Post Thursday sessions are broadcast live on the Steem Star Network Radio

Here are the posts that were shared.

SEVEN DAY BLACK AND WHITE CHALLENGE # DAY TWO - THEME : WORK LIFE

@anaman led off sharing his entry into the seven day black and white photo challenge. While the rules of the challenge don’t allow for an explanation of the photograph, @anaman was able to share with us that the photo was taken at the lab where he works and he told us about his job.

WALLS ADORN WITH WONDERS.

In the course of learning more about @anaman’s workplace we also got a peek at some of the interesting paintings on the walls of his workplace.

Wednesday Night is Pinball Night in Pittsburgh

@pinball-players was back with another post hot off the fingers of @steemitgraven as he shared with us about pinball night in Pittsburgh at the Kickback Pinball Cafe in Lawrenceville. Nicely written post of the sport of pinball.

Steemit Tutorials - How You Can Withdraw Your Steemit Earnings Into USD--And Why You Should Only Do It If You're Truly Strapped For Cash

SaipanDamashii aka @rodeo670 shared with us another in his series of Steemit tutorials. This one is about how to turn your Steemit earnings into USD. He also talks about the importance of only taking your earnings out if you need them.

Anytime you create content on the platform and earn from doing so, you’re mining crypto. That makes your earnings an investment. Investments only gain value if you hold them and allow them to grow.

His post sparked a discussion about bitcoin ATMs and how they work as well as the concept of arbitrage. It’s what you miss when you’re not with us, you never know what will get discussed.

Gifts by CHRISTMAS - Silver/Gold Deals: BIN or Make an Offer

@em3 joined us for the first time, sharing his post about his experience selling products on Steembay where both Steem and Paypal can be used. The experience for both he and his customers was positive. Another interesting aspect to the growing ecosystem here on the platform.

Jingle COINS, Jingle COINS!!! A STEEMIT CHRISTMAS song!

Snekky aka @poeticsnake shared this rendition of Jingle Bells written especially for STEEM and Steemit. I enjoyed this and shared it to my timeline on FB.

The Donfather: Blackmail

@jimitations joined us and brought his wonderful gift of voices in this short humourous Trump parody. Enjoy. I shared this one to my FB timeline as well. My friends over there will be thinking the old girl is losing it, it isn’t often I post there.

Color Challenge Wednesday Yellow - "THE STORY OF CREATION" ~ © Tiffany E. Reed

@thekittygirl shared with us her post on the story of creation. They are her thoughts on the subject informed by the reading she has done over the years. Nicely done and thought provoking.

James Allen's Daily Meditations: December 14th

@seablue shared with us a post from his @jamesallen account which he posts to every day. @jamesallen was one of the first of the self-development gurus. His writings are still very relevant today.

Everything I Needed To Know About Steemit I Learned On Discord

@thekittygirl posted this for @molovelly who was with us but sitting on her phone in an airport listening in. Here @molovelly posts about her experience on the various discords and how much she has learned since first coming onto discord. She mentions several people and discord communities which have contributed to her Steemit journey.

She even mentioned the Steemit Ramble and the PYPT. Thank you @molovelly.

The Tree Of Life REVEALED { Everything Is Energy } For Meat Eaters + VEGANS

@esaia.mystic posts about her journey though poor health and her coming to understand the inter-relationships between our diet, emotions and spiritual self. Being six months with child she also explored the often forgotten spiritual practice of eating the placenta after childbirth.

That subject sparked an interesting conversation in the chat. Surprisingly enough, the guys were not squeamish, which I was expecting when the topic started. A sure sign of adults in the room.

Beer Advent Calendar - December 14th

For anyone who felt the need for some fortification, @aksounder shared with us the beer of the day from his beer Advent calendar. I remember my parents giving us an advent calendar one year, all we got was some chocolate. Course I was a minor at the time.

@aksounder reviews the beer of the day and explores the beer’s origins. Nicely written and well worth the read.

The Magnificent Seven # 2 -- The 7 best posts we found in our latest travels

@catweasel shared his curation post of the seven best post he and @enchantedspirit had found during their travels on Steemit. Don’t forget to visit the posts and give them support if you can.

Cabinet of Curiosities SUCCESS! Episode 1: Fairies

@lenadr has been joining us on PYPT for a while now. She was very excited to share with us the highlights of her first live radio show on the Steem Star Network. Cabinet of Curiosities in her words, “Each week we will discuss an enigmatic creature or phenomenon that has science scratching its head and mystery-seekers like myself giddy with discovery.”

Catch it live on Sundays on the Steemstar Network at 4pm EST. You can join the live audience on the YAH discord

Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 12/14/17> I’ve talked turkey before… today it’s Gobblers

@ethandsmith couldn’t join us this evening and he asked if I’d share this post for him. @sultnpapper is one of his favourite bloggers on Steemit and from the comments in the chat, a few others as well.

This post of @sultnpapper is about Cuero, Texas and the home of the Fighting Gobblers (turkeys). @sultnpapper chose this community to write a review about his BBQ place but likes to do some background on the community as well. It’s an interesting post and I can see why others in the chat like this writer as well.

Conclusion

Well, there we go, thirty-three posts shared on the two sessions of Pimp Your Post Thursday and as often happens, a wide range of conversational topics. Come to share posts and hang out for the fun and friendship.

Don’t forget, you can visit the Steemit Ramble discord at anytime. When you share the post of another Steemizen in the nominate-someones-post channel you will get access to another channel nominate-your-post. I regularly review those two channels for potential posts to share in the Steemit Ramble.

If you are two busy to share, there is a post promotion channel. I might look in there some day. Steemit is about sharing and building community.
