I don't want to whine. . . too much. But the IAN family and the DKos world beyond can be a great group for e-Hugs. At this troubled point of life at the eJ ranchero, I ask for some hugs.
Tuesday! A day to hug someone. Like ejoanna!!
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.

The living room painting project is "done", the painting part. But, as all too usual, more was revealed--as in more needed to be repaired once the Mister and I cleared out the room. Certainly we need to fix those "little details" (like a water damaged window sill) in a room now so freshly painted. Right?
And the baseball part. Arrrgggghhh. The official MLB season is about 2 weeks old and my beloved Giants are on a record-breaking. . . . losing streak. Don't misunderstand: I still adore those guys. Baseball is, baseball. These things can happen. But, can I get a little hug here to fortify me for the rest of the season? Even from you non-sports fans, even you anti-sports fans? Just this once? (Well, just this once this week.)
Mr. eJ, Moi, and the Super Pootie Tamarin, thank you.
Tamarin in a sad nap mode: she hates paint projects--and she lubz the Giants.
