IAN: June 9, 2024 - We are almost to summer now [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-08 And school here will be out for the summer as of next Friday. 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! ************************* This is from the end of April, actually. But, oh WOW! Eight recipes from Allrecipes that have been popular for a couple generations. A submarine design based on the manta ray. This is a thing now: dumbphones. New findings at Pompeii. Here’s a site that has links to Victorian-era illustrations of Shakespeare. The history of a fungus. More recipes from Allrecipes. Fifty ways to get some use out of your 9x13 baking pan. Food products and the year they came out. I didn’t know Eggos were the same age I am. ************************* My granddaughter graduated high school last Tuesday. I didn’t attend (far too many stairs), but I did watch the livestream until both my offspring and their best bud walked the stage — one right after the other, as it happened. I checked on locations and times for Pastini. The two of us are going to dinner together next Thursday. My grandson will get his turn before the end of the month. I have found some exercises online that, along with the ones my physical therapist has given me, are helping a lot! I haven’t stood this straight in a couple of years. We had the bubbly and nibblements I got yesterday. And I heard all about why my daughter wanted to postpone for the week. I didn’t laugh too hard, I promise. ************************* Love you guys!
