IAN: October 22, 2023 - the news gets repetitive [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-21 I’ve never enjoyed soap operas, so the coverage of tfg’s performances makes my stomach hurt. Another war in the Middle East. I wish the people who wanted it were the only ones fighting. And when is news of Putin’s ill health and probable imminent death going to be proved true? 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! ************************* Ninety animals and how their eyesight compares to humans. One hit wonders. Another previously unknown language has been found in tablets discovered during an excavation in northern Turkey. ************************* We have very little going on here. Due to Oregon weather, my second and her husband went elsewhere in their attempt to see the eclipse. My grandkids are released from the grounding. We went out for an early sushi dinner after my chiropractic appointment on Saturday. Far too many of the sushi selections featured avocado for my taste, but I found one that I liked that didn’t, and the entree I ordered as well provided lunch today besides finishing dinner nicely yesterday. I am discovering just how routinely I used to call my mother by how often I find myself reaching for the phone. Progress continues on my decluttering — though you’d never know right now, since it is at that particular stage…. ************************* Love you guys!
