Very helpful post. Sure seems to be a problem with the resteem button. I wonder if there is a link to upvoting and the appearance of the resteem button. In other words, if you upvote everything without discriminating like I've been doing then maybe the resteem button disappears. I know I've seen if before but it isn't there now.

I think I'm learning that I need to quit being nice and use the upvote like it's a prized possession.

By the way @mrs.steemit, I am following you now because I'm really intrigued by your articles on working and traveling. My wife and I are retired, have a decent income, but would like to be able to travel more. So, I'm reading your articles with enthusiasm.

Please take a look at my articles if you can find some time.
