@Nordicfae oh yeah… it’s rather messy and expensive and changes from moment to moment.

It makes me think about those in war zones who have the added destruction caused by other people.

I don’t think people here are.. Btw… think it’s just those on the bird who don’t have an inkling and where old rivalry exists. They’re not thinking about how this expense will affect everyone.

Thanks for being our musketeer, J.

Whether you're new(ish) to CoSo, or have been here a while, have you been enjoying the caring and unique atmosphere?

As you know, the good stuff is rarely free and it costs shekels to keep the #CoSo lights on, and expand the offerings.

Going Pro costs the same as a cup of soup- per MONTH (seriously), and makes it much easier for @th3j35t3r to protect this haven, and to add new features.

Would you please Pro it up for your CoSo family?

Just in case...

If you ever post your pain or struggle, and no one replies--especially if you are very new--it is very likely that folks saw you but didn't have a chance to reply before the firehose flowed on.

This is hard to remember. It is. But low response rates do not mean you don't matter or people don't care.

I dearly hope people mostly receive comfort when they need it.

But if there is a miss, it doesn't derive from indifference. Not here.

My Christmas Wish:
I get to feeling pretty low around Christmas - lots of reasons for it.
But, mine isn't "real" depression - there are people who are truly anguished today, tonight, this week.
If you know someone like that - open your heart; see if you can be there for them.

Sending out thanks to all of the folks working all around the holiday--many of them providing vital services taking care of others--health, safety, rescue, road crews, power lines, vet techs...

so many services and functions keep our world running, and they don't stop for calendar days.

For any of you here, or the loved ones who miss them--

Thank you. I hope you are able to have a time to gather with loved ones to feel the best a holiday can offer.

💙
