: Your shitty first draft of a screenplay is better than the best, coolest, and most innovative idea someone has for a still-nonexistent one that'll likely never be written but only talked about at parties.
There's enough of those to make a movie a day for the next ten thousand years. Finish your screenplay.

Anyone here familiar with Doug Sahm?
Amazing musician. Well loved. Played in and led bands since the 50's.

It appears that the Iranian regime may be poisoning university age protesters to prevent them from showing up to protest. WTF?
I wonder why this blender wouldn't run.
That grease was cooked to silly putty consistency.
I'll have it turning smoothly soon.
Our monthly drag brunch star. So proud of our local community who packed the place here in Colorado Springs showing up to support our LGBTQ+ folks in what was known as hate city in the hate state. Were making progress!

Nikon camera sell for CoSo?
Auction?
Suggest donation level per raffle ticket?
How would I even do this?
Need more coffee.
Does anyone here still shoot 35mm film?
I haven't in years.
Time to get this to someone who'll use it.
On ebay it seems like it's worth $300-900.
Hard to tell.
Maybe raffle this off for CoSo?
Good morning all!
Drop biscuits, kielbasa gravy.
My baking soda is old and I didn't get much rise, but still decent biscuits. I popped the one on the side in the skillet and it came out nicely!
Shop-vac/blower motor behaved intermittently for months. Finally stopped working. So of course I disassembled it completely (#NewSkills) looking for the fault. Cord looked in #1 condition, but after cutting it open, here's the culprit. While disassembling, of course I screwed up the threads on the main spindle taking it apart and had to grind it down and carefully recut the threads. Now to attach a new plug and reassemble it.
So many days I just can't get things going like I used to. COVID, age, politics, losing friends to MAGA, people complaining about both sides bas who won't go vote for the side that is trying to do good, even if yes they're not perfect. Anarchy they cry! Yea, that'll be better. /sigh

To All The New Folks.
Wellcome Home !
Lurking here on CoSo is a wonderful thing. If you are one who seldom posts, but enjoys reading, you are wanted and welcome. Posting in not required. You don't need to explain, nor in anyway feel less than, for lurking. In fact let's get rid of that word, and just say you are a reader.
All writers need readers. Reading is semi-miraculous act. And respect is due.
🙏

I feel like I just ran a marathon, and I've only been up two hours. Morning physio was a bitch this morning for some reason. Worse than usual. My legs feel all crampy and tight. No amount of stretching is loosening them up today. #Goodmorning #GoodmorningCoSo
Good morning all!
It's a good day to overthrow the oligarchy.
