Tuesday: A day to ruminate. . .
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.
Monday: Crimson Quillfeather alternating with ZenTrainer
Tuesday: ejoanna
Wednesday: Pam from Calif
Thursday: art ah zen
Friday: FloridaSNMOM
Saturday: bigjacbigjacbigjac
Sunday: loggersbrat
I know: it’s Tuesday after Thanksgiving, so what’s to ruminate about. almost everyone has switched over to panic over the late December Holidays (and you know what those are.) Well, I’m still, as usual, bummed out that one of most favorite holidays, Thanksgiving, is over! Already!
So, I wouldn’t call this a rant, but her are a few of my late November thoughts:
What the Hell happened to October, my favorite month and the kick-off to Autumn, my favorite season of the year?
And what happened to November? Plus, November=Too Short.
Oranges, rusts, browns, and other earth tones are my favorite colors. Now I have to give those shades up and start wearing red and green? I’m not only not ready, I don’t even like red that much.
I also love the whole Harvest theme. Cornucopias! Pumpkins! Corn stalks! More pumpkins! Not ready to switch to Xmas decor.
And don’t get me started on the whole Black Friday abomination. It shouldn’t be allowed to contaminate Thanksgiving weekend. I have read that the Millennials—yes, they are back in the news!--aren’t into BF now, so maybe the trend is dying out. HAHAHAHAHA; I wish.
But I’m in the minority. I have to accept that Thanksgiving is over. Trying to keep the Gratitude thing going though.
Maybe a nice kale salad while I figure out how to delay the onset of December a little longer.
