I’ve a fair idea that most of us who hang out on this blog are in the “Over 30 Crowd” and as such, are just beginning to understand ageing and how it directly applies to you.
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!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM 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!

Then again, many of us are in the 60ish to 80ish crowd and are quietly snickering behind our hands at the outrage those much younger than us are feeling at the betrayal of our bodies and the necessary re-adjustment of life to suit the demands of an ageing body. We’ve “been there, done that” over and over and still have to find ways to compensate for things we didn’t think would happen to us.
Here’s some rather funny tweets from the over 50 crowd to help the youngsters adapt in the next 20 years or so:
