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

Organizing the house never ends. I’m working on the family room and garage. Maci is a good feline supervisor. She’s not shy about offering her opinions. I found this box which belongs downstairs. I had to wait until she was finished supervising.
Still supervising and offering opinions. When finances allow the carpet will be gone. Hardwood will be beautiful instead of dingy carpets.
The estate/yard/garage sale was successful. People were happy to shop and buy my items. Less clutter, earned some $ and the car will soon be parked in the garage. The day of the sale had 95F temps. Maci found a way to play with her favorite shoelace/toy and remain cool.
Supervising a slow human is very taxing. Time for a well earned nap.
