Once more it's Friday. And we're getting our new internet this morning, sometime between 8am and noon. So I have no bloody clue when I'm going to get online. Please be kind to each other in my absence.
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!
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.

So according to holiday insights webpage these are the 'holidays' coming up this week.
20 Ice Cream Soda Day
20 Take Your Dog to Work Day Friday after Father's Day
You could always feed your dog an ice cream soda at work, then you get double points! (and a very happy dog)
21 Go Skate Day
21 Finally Summer Day- Summer Solstice
21 National Hollerin' Contest Day - third Saturday in June
22 National Chocolate Eclair Day
23 National Columnists Day
23 National Pink Day
I didn't know Pink had her own day! How cool! (I don't think they meant this Pink, but I like her, her songs aren't drivel and she has a good attitude).
24 Swim a Lap Day
25 Log Cabin Day
25 National Catfish Day
Catfish are an interesting species. According to Wikipedia catfish can range from a length of one centimeter to the giant Mekong catfish; the largest of which was caught in northern Thailand on 1 May 2005 and reported to the press almost 2 months later that weighed 293 kilograms (646 lb). This is the largest giant Mekong catfish caught since Thai officials started keeping records in 1981. There have also been reports of humans and buffalo attacked by Goonch on the Kali River on the India/Nepal border.
26 Beautician's Day
26 Forgiveness Day
I hope everyone has a great day, and hopefully I'll be online to say hi this afternoon (though Bit has a science experiment at the library at 2, so I may be really late depending when the cable internet comes online).
