Just a few co(s) between friends.
Co-wash – Yet another haircare product added to the multitudes already crowding that aisle. Because of course we need shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner, and cowash hanging out in the shower.
Cooperate – I don’t think this one even qualifies because even though “operate” is its own word is “co” really a prefix prefix? Except yeah because co = together so operate together = cooperate. And since this is stream of consciousness I get to leave that mess right there for you to muddle through. Moving on.
Coexist – Am I the only one who loves those coexist bumper stickers? Well, no, I’m sure I’m not since folks actually stick them to their cars but I think they’re pretty cool.
Coordinate – The apps I can’t live without are the ones that help me coordinate calendars and schedules for our family. Now if I can just get the kids to add their stuff to the Cozi shopping list…
Copay – This sounds like a nice little amount, right? Like “gee, I’ve gotta go to the doctor, looks like I’ll have to pony up $25.” Except not always. Bummer.
Coaxial – I dunno. Sometimes the cable company tells me to disconnect the coaxial cable. That’s all I’ve got for this one.
Coworker – Wouldn’t it be great if “coworker” literally meant “one who works with you” in, y’know, the real world? I’m looking at you, Becky. Leaving that leftover tuna fish sandwich in the office fridge overnight was just wrong.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “co-” Find a word that uses “co” as a prefix and use it in your post. Have fun!
Well done, Laura. Lotta co’s that make me laugh.

I ❤ the coexist bumper sticker. I hit the jackpot with my coworkers. Thank goodness.

That really is the biggest lottery of them all. You can’t pick your coworkers and if you don’t like them it’s not exactly simple to bail out.

Very true. This current group is about to be split up. I’m enjoying it while I can knowing I might not be that lucky next time.

Scott Adams, who writes the “Dilbert” comic strip, spells “coworker” as “cow-orker.”
I deal with the whole “cooperate” thing at my place today.

cow-orker — bwahahahaha!!!
Cooperate seems like such a simple concept, strange how it impossible other people make it. [insert eyeroll here]

You’ve got some good ones in here, Laura. I like (feel) your take on coworker the best. On the other end of the list, it sounds like you need a bigger shower.

I like the Coexist bumper stickers. They are quietly subversive.

Exactly how I feel when I pull up behind one at a light. Always feel like throwing them some secret sign of support.

Great take on the prompt. Gone are the days when the coordinate things were done on a paper calendar? With different colored highlighters so we knew which kid wanted hot or cold lunch?! I’ve dated myself, sigh…Happy Saturday!

Oh no, I was all about the highlighters. Now we use a family calendar where everyone’s assigned a color so it’s kinda like high tech highlighters. Whatever works, right? 😆

LOL – that’s awesome – high tech highlighters! You’re right, finding what works is what we have to do to survive all the changing schedules.
