Sunday
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!
If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
All my meetings got cancelled yesterday, some because of flu and some because of ice.
And because of the ice, I wasn't able to do any of the outside work I need to do So I did some cooking and cleaning inside.
I was going to watch a movie and got distracted by tea, and cooking. And then I discovered a book I wanted was free on Amazon.com and I missed a t-shirt I might have liked to give a friend because I was too slow on Teefury. You can only buy t-shirts there for 24 hours, and then the design goes away. If you don't check it every single day, you miss some mighty fine t-shirts.
