Many insightful and powerful diaries are written here at Daily Kos. Our diaries inform, inflame, impassion, and even entertain. We Kossacks have strong voices and an even stronger determination to be the change we need in this country.
One of the richest and most under-appreciated sources of Kossack wisdom comes in the form of comments attached to these diaries.
Top Comments strives to recognize and promote the talent of this community by highlighting outstanding comments found throughout the day by your humble diarist and through nominations made at TopComments at gmail dot com (before 9:30pm) by you and your fellow Kossacks.
These nominations are subjective and certainly not complete (as no one can read the complete site on a daily basis!). But we hope they will serve to shine a light where deserved and to give the reader a good starting point in finding conversation on the site.
Please come in and make yourself at home! Join us beneath the fold...
Those who have seen me in other community diaries know that my life has been a series of changes. Two years and six days ago I officially moved from CT to CO. My life has changed so much. When I left CT, I left a very lovable 12 year old dog named Riley. He has been afflicted with Lyme disease and the drive across the country wouldn't have been fair to him. He is being spoiled rotten by my father. I now have 2 dogs, they are my avatar here. The black lab is Priscilla, she is the most neurotic loving dog. The white and tan mutt is Brodie, he thinks that the world revolves around him.
Everything changes and sometimes those changes are easy. I knew moving to CO would be good. I have an amazing boyfriend. I have 2 dogs that think I am wonderful. I am attending school to advance my degree. I left behind family, friends, New England Kossacks, and my dog Riley.
