I was brought up by my godfather. He loved horses. I was a difficult child (!) and someone asked him 'how do you cope with her? How do you deal with her?' and he said 'I do the same as I do with my horses who keep escaping their fields, I just build a bigger field'.
I love that response. He did indeed build MANY bigger fields for me!
I'm so grateful to him.

I don't filter a lot of words here but I'm about to kick "trump" and "musk" to the curb. I'm sick of all the hatemongering they foster on both sides. I've been guilty of commenting on their stupidity too but I'm done with it. This will limit my exposure to them to official news reports, which is already far too much. Buh bye.
@Florence I too am disabled. So cannot walk/ exercise to warm myself up. You would think that being on disability, all this would be a lot more affordable, but no. I sit on my bed most of the day with a hot water bottle in the bed - does not do my back any good at all but at least it keeps the chill off. Gotta do what you gotta do!
@Florence I get dressed every day with thermals, t-shirts, and sweaters, then light a candle-pot to keep one room above 15C - that's the best I can do. I know that when the frost hits, the heating will have to go on for burst pipes, but I am dreading it!

Morning CoSo! Welcome new people, love to all you old people!
Are you guys getting snowed on? Would you like to share pictures of your snow?
I mean, of course, the meteorological kind.
It's me. I'm the problem. I'm that person your mother warned you about! 'We all do well when we all do well' (Wellstone) #BLM #VoteBlue #Democracy #Cancer
