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, earthquakes, 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, 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 PM 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!
Ok, 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.

Lori and I had a wonderful time running the fundraiser for Angel's Cat Sanctuary. The people here at Daily Kos responded with their usual generosity and kindness. It was a blast. We hope everyone who stopped by had a great time and partook of the refreshments.
Current cash total stands at $2,397.39 - a phenomenal amount! There are still checks on the way, food was purchased from the wish list, two more cats have been sponsored - Peanut and Adam - and there are promises of even more!
Lori has been able to pay an outstanding vet bill, buy food, and get the fencing she needed to keep the coyotes and wild pigs farther away from the sanctuary.
There are no adequate words to really thank everyone for the tips, recommends, re-postings, good wishes, hugs. Your response was overwhelming. We love you!
I want to write more and post thank you cards, but my computer is acting very badly and if I don't publish this soon, I won't be able to. Cause the %$%*&( thing will be going out the window.
Thanks again.
