[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-13 Tuesday: A day to: celebrate! 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. Hi Gang! How did Valentine’s Day arrive so fast? It has always, IMHO, come around waaaay too soon after the Christmas/New Years holidays. But still, here it is. You know I’m going to ask all of you what this holiday means to you. I’d like to have some original answer for you, but I don’t. For me: chocolate and flowers (preferably a living, blooming plant in a pot.) But you all have your own ideas and customs. right? I have heard that the famous chalky hearts update their messages each year, but it has been years since I have even seen these traditional candies, so, what are the 2023 updates? (Asking for a friend.) So, Happy, Happy V-day!\ [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/2/13/2152770/-IAN-Tuesday-February-14-2023-Valentine-s-Day Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
