For all who are new, this is what Counter Social is, has always been and always will be. It is the COSO way. 💜

com·mu·ni·ty

a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals:

Welcome to CoSo, I’m a bird site refuge, an artist, gardener, blue dot 🔵 in a very red state, cat lover, happily married and still trying to avoid COVID. See more of my art at robinbrayfineart.com #introduction

@Pepstar I love this! Thank you for sharing this place. We need more love in our country. ❤

@Heyjojo Post things that interest you. Use hashtags. This is not Twitter. Things are run differently here. No algorithms. No hierarchy. No influencers. Everyone is equal here.

@Heyjojo
If you are talking about a subject, try using a hashtag that would be associated with it. Some common ones are a listed in the Guide.

happy to have you here. 😊

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 believe you! They haven't a clue, have they?

@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.

#showmeyoursnow

@Florence Yep, I worked out that gas for a quarter would currently cost me £1200 *just for heating* (not counting hot water). That does not include electricity, and that would be keeping the house at 15C for two hours per day. Crazy.
