#introduction I am new on here, just started tonight. Heard a lot of good things about the site. I am an engineer, and a researcher, with a deep interest in politics and world affairs. I live in Alberta, Canada.
I will be looking around to get used to the place, and am interested in connecting with folk who know me on other sites as well as meeting new friends.
@TomjSmith2 i'm getting out of alberta but i wish you luck!
hello & welcome.
take your time. you'll get used to the way things work as you play w/ it. press ALLL the buttons. you won't break anything 😋
if the site is overwhelming at 1st glance:
click on your handle > edit profile > preferences > ostrich mode > save changes.
check out the user guide - it's linked in the 3rd pinned post on my profile.
if you get stuck, #cosonauts
are a helpful bunch, too.
happy to have you here. 😊
@singlemaltgirl @singlemaltgirl Thanks for the guidance and for the warm welcome!! 🙂 I will have a gander at that user guide.
I am not sure how much longer we will be able to stay in Alberta either if things keep going downhill, but time will tell.
@TomjSmith2 i've been here for over a decade. gave it my best shot. the politics are killing my soul.
i'm re-locating to bc. i didn't think we could top kenney. then we got smith. i'm done.
i'm so sorry for all those who don't have the options i have & are not backwards thinking wexiters.
@singlemaltgirl I have been here 28 years. Because of Kenney we just lost our family doctor this summer. I just cannot believe that Smith actually got in. I am wondering what things will be like by the next election in May.
@TomjSmith2 i just couldn't stick around to find out. i know so many albertans who can't stomach the idea of voting ndp despite the fraud, lack of ethics, intolerance, & divisiveness of the ucp. i just can't understand & i'm too exhausted to try at this point. women, children, the disabled, bipoc, & 2slgbtq+ are all going to be worse off in this province despite all the riches it naturally has.
i'm so sorry about the loss of your family doc. health care is certainly being gutted.
sigh.
@singlemaltgirl We have had the same discussions in my family. I cannot think of a single demographic that the UCP has not hurt.
Anyway, I am happy to have met you, and I wish you all the best in your new home in BC.
Have a good night - I am heading off to get some sleep!
@TomjSmith2 night! & glad you've made it to #coso. hope you enjoy it here.
