Saturday All Day Check-in for the Herd

  Make sure you let your peeps

  know where to find you!  


    PLEASE Do Not Recommend the check-in diary!
   

        Fierces on the Weather Critter Comment are obligatory welcome.

The morning check-in is an open thread posted to give you a place to visit with the meeses. Feel free to chat about your weather, share a bit of your life, grump (if you must), rave (if you can). The diarist du jour sometimes posts and runs, other times sticks around for a bit, often returns throughout the day and always cares that meeses are happy … or at least contented.

On weekends (and holidays), you may find the check-in thread earlier or later than normal because … it is the weekend! Moosies need their beauty rest:

For those new to the Moose, Kysen left a Moose Welcome Mat (Part Deux) so, please, wipe your feet before you walk in the front door start posting.

The important stuff to get you started:

– Comments do not Auto-refresh. Click the refresh/reload on your tab to see new ones. Only click Post once for comments. When a diary’s comment threads grow, the page takes longer to refresh and the comment may not display right away.

– To check for replies to your comments, click the “My Comments” link in the right-hand column (or go to “My Moose”). Comments will be listed and a link to Recent Replies will be shown. (Note: Tending comments builds community)

– Ratings: Fierce means Thumbs Up, Fail means Thumbs Down, Meh means one of three things: I am unFailing you but I can’t Fierce you, I am unFiercing after a mistaken Fierce, or Meh. Just Meh. (p.s. Ratings don’t bestow mojo, online behaviour does).

– The Recommended list has a prominent place on the Front Page because it reflects the interests of the Moose. When people drive-by, we want them to see what we are talking about: news, politics, science, history, personal stories, culture. The list is based on number of recs and days on the list. Per Kysen: “The best way to control Rec List content is to ONLY rec diaries you WANT to see ON the list.

– Finally, the posting rules for a new diary: “Be excellent to each other… or else

(Some other commenting/posting/tending notes for newbies can be found in this past check-in and, of course, consult Meese Mehta for all your questions on meesely decorum.)

    I am moving slowly this morning but happy that I can turn the heat down a bit in the house – no bone numbing drafts.

    Congrats Jan and WI for an Elite 8 slot!

    And I love Cinderella’s like Dayton.

    Rain, more rain, and gloom this weekend. JanF, too bad we can’t provide nicer weather for you!

    Had no idea you were going to journey to this area. Will have to go back and read yesterday’s check-in, which I didn’t read because of having to diary-tend over at the other place. Missed you all, though.

    Denise, so pleased to hear of the honor from the NAACP! ‘Tis well deserved. Actually, I think I joined the organization a few months ago–not sure, would have to go back and check some of the 5,000 emails in my inbox.

    Stayed out of bed for almost all of yesterday, although I did have to rest after lunch. Ate dinner again. Think I’m getting better!

    Everyone have a great Saturday and do something fun!

    Eating breakfast & watching Up. Wow, Kornacki is young – born in 79. And “Millenials” — oh, man, I’m old.

    Going to lunch with my friend who has brain cancer. Wherever she wants, of course. So maybe I’ll exercise, maybe not. And I should figure out what I’m eating next week so I can at least buy groceries.

    Maggie is stretched out on my lap, doing a very good job of reminding me to stay quiet and not disturb her 🙂

    Safe travels Jan….enjoy an extra slice of chocolate cake for me!
