We had a punny discussion with chicating at last Sunday's KosAbility meeting, and have a druggie one coming up. The Pills by drudau, our diary on Sunday 12 July 4pm PDT/7pm EDT, tells a story of turning in old pills to help a friend, and brings up the topic of how to deal with unused and expired medications.
Below the schedule box is more information on what KosAbility is doing.

The Admin Team is working to ensure KosAbility continues to provide interesting, useful, and thought-provoking information as well as a place to drop by and visit once a week. We've realized how much already has been published since the group started on 28 Feb 2010 and are planning to reprint some pertinent old diaries with and without updates.
This week, we republished four recent diaries. Geenius at Wrok's diary on User-Interface design reports on an informal survey of "older" internet users (older wasn't strictly defined) and problems they encounter with website interfaces, fonts, colors, contrast and other features. Another, by feather falls, addresses anger management and how to make an anger thermometer as a tool thats help you work with anger so it doesn't hurt your family and friends. We also republished a fundraiser and a request for community action. The fundraiser is for member escapee who has financial need due to serious health issues. The community action diary requests for help with letter writing and publicity for Support the Dream Defenders.
For a late July diary on how DK5 interface affects our group and members, we'd like you to go test out DK5 HERE and try to use KosAbility by reading, commenting, recommending, queuing a diary to KosAbility for publication, and anything else you usually do on Daily Kos. Please send your comments via kosmail to Besame.
Gwennedd and postmodernista are preparing basic how-to information for publishing with KosAbility. Our goal is not to duplicate the help New Diarists provides, nor to deal extensively in information that won't be useful in DK5, but to give guidelines that make writing for KosAbility easy and painless for everyone. We will publish this information and then have it available as needed for diarists.
