Since we got some money to finally make some dreams reality, I wanted to talk about that this Saturday.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK,and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
We have split up the publishing duties, but we welcome everyone in IAN to do daily diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news! If you would like to write a diary, let us know in a comment.
We have a current diary schedule. If you would like to fill in as a writer sometime, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMom a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FSNMom is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.
We are still looking for a few back-up writers. Please contact weck or FloridaSNMom or let us know in the comment section. We would love it if you joined our list of writers!

I didn’t inherit a million dollars but we got enough to solve a lot of ongoing problems for good, while remaining in the house we’ve lived in for twenty years. And to replace the vehicles, and buy Bear his motorcycle he really wanted.
Now, had there been considerably more money, we would have bought me what I REALLY want.
With that would go subsidiary issues of furnishing and repainting and buying yard equipment and moving costs, and that all puts it way out of our budget. But the house we live in is getting a leak fixed, the kitchen floor fixed, some new light fixtures, and the basement cleaned out and redone for intelligent, useful storage of all our varied hobby materials. (I could be a minimalist if I didn’t sew...)
So what’s going on with you, and what would YOU do with a million dollars?
