I was looking through the 1 star app reviews for CoSo in the Google store. I have no idea what app those poor people thought was CoSo. Like, it's not just different opinions about things...I have had a completely different experience here!

Months and months ago, I wasn't sure about people being interested in #divination done with gaming dice. I got encouragement here to write about it. (Thanks, CoSo! 💜) So if you are interested, I've finally worked things to the point where I can write for others about how I do it.

@fuse My husband has been a Dune fan for decades, read all the books multiple times. An African sand boa spend something like 95% of their life under the sand, so of course I had to name him that! 😄

@AskTheDevil He's an African sand boa. Two feet of joy! I greet him every day and he flicks his tongue at me. If I'm late getting in there he moves to the front of the tank and waits with his head above the sand.

It's been almost a month since he last ate because he was shedding a couple of weeks ago and will not eat while shedding. I thought he'd be fast when he got the mouse. He usually is.

Time for Shai-Hulud to eat, so sister-in-law brought a mouse home for him. (We're not feeding him the wild ones, but don't tell them.) It took him almost five full minutes to decide it was time to "hug" his dinner. That mouse was walking along his spine and he didn't seem to care! I was afraid he thought this was his new roommate.

I truly am glad I finally got the snake I had wanted for 30+ years. He's a blessing. And sometimes puts on dramatic performances.

@Luber905 Mice try to come in for the winter. I don't know why. The neighbors' house doesn't have dogs, cats, ferrets, and a snake. I'm sure it's safer there. We sometimes find one, but the mice are very limited in where they can get to. The cats will live with the other animals, but mice are for hunting.

@LnzyHou YES! When I was a kid, a squirrel in our yard made friends with the bluejays and would sit and eat with them. I've been told there are squirrels in the area we live in now, but we've been here 3 years and I've seen no squirrels. LOTS of different birds, though!

There's a bag of birdseed on my back porch that didn't get used before the seasonal shift made it The Season of Not Walking Out to the Bird Feeder. It's been very cold lately, and we've been getting snow off an on. I'm glad the bag is there because a little friend has been finding shelter there and helping themself to the food.

@Qbae I am laughing SO hard! 😂

I didn't take a picture of the reading I did, but I did take a picture just to show cards because I got the Good Omens deck. Time for some Nice & Accurate Prophecies!

Annnnd...of course the first reading I did called me out on my BS about getting in my own way and swimming in my lack of confidence instead of taking controlled steps to strengthen in.

So it's a good deck! I know I can work with a deck when the readings challenge me in healthy ways.

It was a struggle to not let myself get too sidetracked with talking about Hermes and sheep bones while writing about dice divination today. My inner editor, being part of my autistic self, tends to let joyful info dumping slide through.

It was a good night to just draw without thinking about it. I put on some music and let my hands do whatever they did. I guess I was feeling the circles.

been friends for years with my abuser. Because she didn't know. Even though they went to the same church until her family moved, their sons grew up together in Boy Scouts, her husband and the abuser belonged to the same Masonic Lodge at one time... And really, she didn't know. And that's just one example.

Many victims go through this. Swearing up and down that everyone closely connected to an abuser had to know comes too closer to accusing a victim of lying.

I know lots of people are hoping certain names will show up in the papers released. And, yeah, people lying about what they didn't know about him can be a thing. But here's one of the problems with junping to "How could you NOT know???"...

There are often situations in which people really don't know. I had to sit in her office and fake a smile while my high school guidance counselor tried to win points with me by telling me how she and her husband had

I use the Finch app as a To Do list and anxiety management resource. I appreciate my finch's determination.

My cat's best friend is one of my sisters-in-law's cats. She will welcome his brothers into our room, be friends, whatever. The one she pretty much helped raise, though? I'm sure if we asked them, he'd say she's his cat and she'd say he's her cat.

Sister-in-law gave her cats a bag of new little felt balls for Christmas. The best friend cat carried one in his mouth to give it to my cat. She now ignores her other toys, rolls around with the ball, and joyfully chirps!

15 month old nephew has been staying with us. He's always so happy to see me! Unless I just got up, or it's late at night, and my headwrap isn't done. I don't think anyone else has ever looked so disappointed to see that I have hair.

I use divination for self-examination and planning how I can take action to reach goals. I've posted a reading today that might help you make some decisions about healthy change in 2024.

"Roots have been overexposed to dihydrogen monoxide" just sounds better than "she's been overwatered and root rot started".
