Now my friend says to try
Dr. Luke's Remedy
Whiskey, honey, and lemon.
If I must...🥃
Feeding my sniffles/cold with grilled cheese with turkey and New England clam chowder.
I may take a 2nd hot shower later.
Shoot - starting to think the dry scratchy nose I woke with is moving to throat, and I've little motivation to get going.
is it crappy forced air heating, a cold...flu...RSV...C19?
nope nope nope...
not gonna have it.
...GRRR.
Good day all.
☕ is steeping in the press.
It's 21°F outside.
I have 10 sheets of drywall to haul up twisty, steep, narrow stairs before it maybe snows a bit this afternoon. It's doable, done it before a few at a time...but now 10.
Talk about being Under Pressure.

I think I may have pushed the moving around a little too hard this morning. Walking was awesome, I would always get sweaty even though it is cold because the pain was awful, and I didn't, which fucking RULES.
But then I went and vacuumed and noticed that the leather on the couch seems to be taking a lot of pug paw print shaped patina marks, and I failed to realize how much of a bend/stoop it takes to clean even if I am sitting down while doing it. I guess now I know? #chronicpain
This woman, a friend of mine, a Democrat, just won a CO State House seat from a deep Red County in her second attempt. Meet CO State Rep - elect Stephanie Vigil from El Paso County. #politics

I wasn't darkness,
shadow-souled, blackened
negativity.
I was empty, void,
awaiting your light.
Well it was a frosty morning, gray and I was prepared to hunker down and stay inside all day. But a visit to the kitchen indicated that I was very likely going to starve by dinner time.
I'm usually very good at putting something together out of whatever's on the shelf but I came up with nothing. So got out of my comfies and drove up to the store.
Came back with a double arm load, which I weighed, because the bathroom scale was right there. My food cost: $4 a pound on average.
I made a post a while ago after the first influx about coding a drop-down with the top 5 or 10 #hashtags -- perhaps triggered when you hit the POST button, as a simple reminder/facilitator for hashtagging here.
I understand that means more coding for J, and don't wish any more work for him. Do any of the coders here have any idea how to feed him some assistance with that. Like, could there be a CoSo Git? #SuggestionBox
Woke to see a dusting of dry fluffy snow this morning. Overcast. More in the offing? I've not looked at the weather forecast for a few days. I like surprises. Being in wonderment at what is revealed.
Good morning CoSo!
Thanks to those who have served our country, and all those around the world who have served theirs. On all sides. You were called, or volunteered, or were coerced. I am sorry for the need. Let us keep peace in our hearts, and ALL fight for that, and no more wars.

Someone called us the PBS of social media. I think that's an apt description.
"CounterSocial is made possible by users like you."

Late last night, J added more capability to CoSo to keep things running quickly and smoothly
I don't know the numbers but I'm guessing that means BIG added cost 👀
There are many ways to support CoSo--Going PRO opens up more features and is a distributed cost over time.
Or you can give a chunk one time through donorbox.
Any way you can, in whatever amount you can, please support this refuge that prioritizes YOU.
There's no place better!
Ah, coffee. ☕
Lovely, warm companion of the morning.
Now that you have done your work it's time to go do mine.
Be well all. Go vote! Go save democracy!
That's really it isn't it? The GQP talks about wanting to win for power, while Blue Wave wants to win for democracy.
Help us only-wan small voter.
You're our only hope.
Well, shit.
I just got done doing a little late afternoon Household improvement chores, emptied the dishwasher, shushed out what I'm going to make for breakfast and lunch in the morning, looked for a snack before bed and realized...
...it's 6:00
Damn you MST!

Rod Serling called it like he saw it all the way back in 1964.
As many have said before, it did not start with that asshole in 2016. Mfs running around today like Barry Goldwater wasn't a thing. Like Joseph McCarthy wasn't a thing. Don't let them claim that. There is no aberration here. We are approaching the summit of a long, deliberate trend.
