Tuesday! A day to dream on.
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: Gwennedd
Sunday: loggersbrat
(First off, I know that this date is a Big Deal in US history, but I’m not up to writing about it. So on to my deep shallowness.)
Listen IAN Gang and friends: I love shelter mags and for yeas I have torn out photos of rooms and other decor ideas. Even when the images are way too high end and expensive for me, I can often find a simpler and less expensive ways to freshen up my own home. My surroundings are very important to me and I like them to be as neat and pretty as possible, even on a limited budget.
And some of the images are just so pretty to look at that they are most therapeutic to gaze upon.
Today? Living rooms.
So, do you like to peruse the shelter mags? Sometimes I just love them for paint color ideas, as I often repaint rooms. Hey, it’s a pretty cheap alternative to (shudder) renovations (which can be pretty traumatic.) Sometimes it’s just an idea about some plants, or rearranging books on a shelf, or some cute throw pillows. Sometimes it is just to dream.
