As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes 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!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write 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!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

Another Wednesday!
Thankfully I managed Thanksgiving off this year, I'm hoping I'll have Christmas too, but not gonna hold my breath...but we will see. I can honestly, understand being open for breakfast on Thanksgiving, but anything beyond like 11 a.m. is absolutely pointless because people should be spending it with their families. Also, don't get me started on the whole Black Friday starting at 8pm on Thursday crap.
Anyway...
Tomorrow *technically today) there will more than likely be grocery shopping and the making of desserts which will be: pumpkin pie and peanut butter cheesecake!
Not sure what else is planned, but it will be a decent day I can hope, as it will be my 2nd of 3 off! Don't have to be at work until 5am on Friday, so we will see how things go!
What are your plans for the day? Your plans for Turkey Day?
