Can everyone just stop posting for a min and give me like a hour to catch up? 😂
Thanks!

How does my 18 year old cat have so much energy? He likes me to chase him around the house, it's like living with a toddler. 🤦♀️

I miss having a cat. Not the litterbox. Nor the hairballs. Nor the shedding. Nor the yowling. Nor the bites. Nor the scratches. But definitely the cat.

Don’t be ashamed of your sexuality. Don’t be afraid to explore. As long as you are not causing harm, physical or psychological, to another, you should feel free to seek out partners willing to explore with you. Don’t let words like man or woman, straight or gay, or the dreaded NORMAL.
You can keep it yourself, your privacy is yours, but don’t let the world force you to hide away from what your heart desires.

I can NOT unsee this now!
So, nose hair extensions are a thing? What's next, nose hair dreads?

It seems the majority of this country worships ego, money, and guns. Politicians impose their so called religion on us, pocket the money, then feign prayers for us after we are mowed down in stores, schools, churches, temples.
I was born here. I served in the US Army.
This country does not live out to its ideals—My family & I are not safe here. There’s no way in hell we belong here. It’s not who we are.
I’m so sick of feeling watching people be hurt and feeling powerless to stop it.
Republicans have crushed my family and stolen their hearts.
I will win them back someday, but I will never forgive the GOP for what they did to my family.
My sister just called and tried to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving:
She tried to get my parents to talk to me.
My Dad was in the background yelling at her to hang up and "stop talking to the communist traitor" and yelling loudly "stay in Germany with the rest of the Nazi's if you hate being in America so much you dumb bxxxx".
This is the man who taught me to ride a bike, ride a horse, shoot a gun, drive a car, look after my siblings, and love myself. 😞
I go home in a few weeks.
I'm scared.

For the family separated, by employment, or by deployment.
For the family divorced, and guarding themselves.
For the family spread across this country and planet, coast to coast, shore to shore.
For the family found here, under the same roof.
For the family chosen, pulled in off the streets, and rescued from worse fates.
For the family that we are.
Happy Harvest to you all, may your hearts be warm, bellys full, and laughter fill your homes.
May peace be in your homes and hearts tonight. #CoSo

Please embrace each precious moment you have when you spend time with family and friends. Those moments are never to be again. But they will forever be etched in your heart.
Fill yourself up and hold them tight. You' never know when they will be the last.
The moments we share with others can never be retrieved other than through the memories as we recall them later in years. Hold those moment close. 💜

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you don’t need to justify your own choices by forcing everyone else to do what you do.
I'm not doing much, so I'm scrolling through the community firehouse while listening to music.
The torrent of shared happiness, celebration, sadness, trauma, and pain is something different than everywhere else.
This is what community and humanity is about. I don't know if the person who created CoSo understands what they've made here or not, or how important it might be, but it is really special.
I'm still learning how notification work here, and how to keep up with everyone. 😅
My option wasn't on there. It was "I lost my trashcan, but it was found in the next town over, and someone brought it all the way back because it had my address on it."

If they have any unspoken questions or thoughts or reservations. Let them confront those on their own. They, like me, like I had to, have to willingly step outside of the comfort bubble.
And most importantly, it's not about manipulating them. The stories have to be real, they have to have heart. Share the lives of your friends, their realities, their happiness, and only their struggles when they ask their own questions.
It's what I'm doing for my sister, brother, cousins, younger Republicans.
If anything had been told to me with a "Democratic" take, I would have rejected it then. Just dismissed it without listening.
So, if you have a Republican friend, or family member. Just share stories of people you know; good ones, funny ones, sad ones. Don't give it any political side. Let the stories sink in, slowly, let them relate.
I promise you, it will help in the long run. It's hard, it's not easy, and you might have to listen to yucky retorts. Just, tell them the stories.
