Yes, Kossack/IAN family, this week, February 6th to be exact, I will be seven years old, in Daily Kos years!
Now a word from our sponsor--and then below the orange icing trail for a look at some of the cakes I'm considering for the part-tay.
Tuesday! A day to plan a birthday celebration!
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.

I am concentrating on a nice cake. Many examples I see are pretty juvenile, but I'm a mature seven year old. (No, really!) So I'll just go for color and calories.
Maybe a cozy theme?
Pastels?
Maybe a celebration of the IAN Sekrit Hide-outs?
Well, I want to share, so maybe cupcakes?
I like owls. . . .
You know I love chocolate, so maybe I could borrow an idea from Hannah---or change my name to eHannah?
Gumdrops!
Beyond the cake decision, though, I want to express great appreciation and affection for the DK family and especially IAN. I wasn't that active on Daily Kos all these 7 years, but the last year or so? Wow. Making up for lost time.
As usual, no presents please. But an adult beverage or several?
