@DavidJett 🤣 I just choked on my Pepsi a little bit. Worth it, though.

For all those celebrating the Festival of Lights, I wish you joy. May this Hanukkah bring many blessings to you and your loved ones.

@sfleetucker 🤣lonecay is a igpay so he probably speaks the lingo.

@Godlesswh_re There is no one lonelier or more pathetic than a person who only cares about money. Money is bitterly cold and does not reciprocate love.

@MPCavalier Monday. Wednesday at the latest.😜 He's intentionally driving everyone away. The whole point of the exercise has been to break up a useful and powerful online community which might impede the advancement of horrors. That's what I worry most about in all this. What do they have planned that's worth $44 billion to tear us all apart? CoSo is a haven today, and it might be a beacon for freedom tomorrow.

@Oldguyaz In her case, it's a cynical straw man, something to get her attention. I cannot imagine a child going unaccompanied to Walmart to buy a toothbrush for themselves. They might not even notice the devices from their height. And how would a child make the mental leap from what it says on the box to a sex toy? It's all nonsense. The issue is, to some adults, sex is worse than violence. That attitude is really corrosive with harmful implications.

@Gardenthymeherbs Yes, time is a gooey, bendy, stretchy thing, like saltwater taffy. Maybe we're all candy on the pull machine of a concession stand on the boardwalk by a cosmic beach. I love George Carlin! I'll look that one up. 😊

@Rstrahs Yes, I expect absolutely zero consistency and no genuine ethical or moral core from fascists. It's all a distraction.

I stupidly followed a link into the bird app and stumbled on Marjorie Taylor Greene having a coniption over vibrators retailing next to children's toothbrushes. (Not dildos, just massage devices.) What I mainly got out of it is that she has never achieved orgasm.😜 Remember, kids: sex is nasty, and killing is cool! *dies of eye roll*🙄 💀

@Gardenthymeherbs I agree. Time is a funny thing—stretchy and a bit gooey—like saltwater taffy. Maybe we all live in a candymaker's concession stand on the boardwalk at the seashore of a giant cosmic beach? I love George Carlin! I'll look up that skit on Google. Thanks for the recommendation!

@Old_Tyke Good way to look at it.😎

This week, besides the Christmas feast, I look forward to Winter Solstice on Wednesday and the slow reversal of the terribly short days. This barely seven hours of daylight thing doesn't work for me, to be honest. Yesterday, I told my husband I guessed Vikings had no use for Roman sundials as they wouldn't be good for much. We went down a rabbit hole of speculation on how Vikings told time and whether time accuracy mattered at all in the ancient world. We're a wild and crazy couple. 🤣

@Mandypar I've advised my copywriting clients that I am closed from Friday through January 9 so that I can catch up with myself on my creative writing and enjoy the holidays. That's lucky that you have a Chinese restaurant so near. Try the hot and sour soup. It's remarkably good medicine!

@Mandypar I'm sorry to hear that! This may sound weird, but hot and sour Chinese soup usually did a great job of clearing colds up for me. I can't get it here in DK, but do you have a Chinese restaurant near home in the UK? Hope you feel better soon! I've been okay, just a little overwhelmed with work but can't complain.

@Mandypar Good morning, Mandy! How are you doing?

Good morning and good night #CoSos We had a flash of thundersnow last night. I've never experienced it. It freaked us out because it was a LOUD crack and immediately took out our power. (We reset the fuse box and got it back.) Sadly, we didn't see the lightning because we were indoors. But Thor was apparently furious at something or other. 😆

@scottyorange Don't waste your money. Honestly, wine is good on its own. And yes, it's excellent mixed with seltzer or 7-up. I'm not sure that it's wise to let children drink it, but my grandparents thought it was. In fairness, it was hardly the most dangerous thing I did as a child. I think they figured if I got a little tipsy and sleepy in time for siesta it was better than having me run up and down the pier trying to be Pippi Longstockings. 😆
