Thursday, aka Friday eve!
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!
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.
Wow. I thought my leash and not your dog diaries would be hot topics, but nope, it's the quickie restaurant one I spouted off yesterday morning.
Just goes to show you that even DKos if afflicted by the internet maxim: the well-written, carefully researched diaries will get a few responses, but the one where you type "hungover, puking, brb" gets 500 likes and 2,000 comments.
Which diary did you write that you think should have gotten more attention? Pimp it here!
