Tuesday!
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!
Ok, we have a current diary schedule. If you would like to fill in, 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.

If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.

Okay,
enough images and diagrams.
Here is a regular website:
backyard aquaponics
Okay,
I'm running out of time,
I'll pot this to the queue.
My brother-in-law, Terrell,
showed me an online video about aquaponics,
and we're excited;
we feel certain we can build such a thing,
in the nice, big backyard
of this big house we're living in.
We already have,
growing quite well,
in the backyard,
green beans,
wax beans,
cucumbers,
tomatoes,
cantaloupe,
watermelon,
and one potato plant.
Aquaponics will add fish to the list
of what we produce ourselves.
And I still want chickens,
for eggs.
That's why I wrote about it here,
it's the thing that's on my mind,
and it ties in with my warnings
about overpopulation,
and possible famines.
Maybe,
with aquaponics,
we won't have famine in America,
within fifty years,
after all.
Maybe.
Seems to me,
this is Noddy's kind of survivalism.
Tell me what you think.
